Autodiscover - LLDP discovery

Hello Is it possible for Observium to add devices based on the management address that is returned by LLDP if SysName does not resolve? Don't get me wrong, we use DNS, but sometimes a customer network is not known to us Regards Christian

Feature request: MAC address lookup
by Attila Nagy 13 Apr '18

13 Apr '18

Hi Adam! I was looking at the ARP/NDP table on the Ports page of some of our machines and currently it displays the vendor of the given device in a tooltip. But it would make much more sense to display - if the MAC address is known - the machine that has the given MAC address instead. Opinion? Has this any chance to get implemented? Regards, Tylla

LDAP auth vs AD server
by Elmar K. Bins 11 Apr '18

11 Apr '18

Hello everybody, I can't access the archives somehow, so if there's a simple direct pointer for this... I've played around with the LDAP config quite a bit now to get it to auth users versus our AD server. So far so good, the somewhat obscure OBS_DEBUG option helps. I believe (!) auth works now, but I have an interesting effect and can still not log into Observium: 1. I use my AD user and the WRONG password I get a lot of debug output, ending in - expected - "Invalid credentials". So far, so good. 2. I use my AD user and the CORRECT password I get ZERO output regarding LDAP, I see generic debugging and versioning output though: --------------------------------- CMD[/usr/bin/svn info /opt/observium] CMD EXITCODE[0] CMD RUNTIME[0.015s] STDOUT[ Path: /opt/observium Working Copy Root Path: /opt/observium URL: http://svn.observium.org/svn/observium/branches/stable Relative URL: ^/observium/branches/stable Repository Root: http://svn.observium.org/svn Repository UUID: 61d68cd4-352d-0410-923a-c4978735b2b8 Revision: 9166 Node Kind: directory Schedule: normal Last Changed Author: adama Last Changed Rev: 9073 Last Changed Date: 2018-03-02 22:37:46 +0000 (Fri, 02 Mar 2018) ] ... some MySQL SELECTs ... ending in STDOUT[ anx-i-observium0101 ] × Load class 'Net_IPv6' from '/opt/observium/libs/pear/Net/IPv6.php': OK CACHE DISABLED.

FortiADC

I'd asked in the Jira some time ago about getting support for the Fortinet FortiADC load balancers included in Observium and was told this was something that would normally require some $$. When I asked about contacting me directly about it and the cost I've heard nothing back on it nor was the Jira request updated the last time I looked.

problem upgrading subscription edition
by niklaas＠0rb.it 10 Apr '18

10 Apr '18

Hello, I have problems upgrading my Observium installation, get following message when doing the svn update: svn: E155036: Please see the 'svn upgrade' command svn: E155036: The working copy at '/opt/observium/mibs/zte' is too old (format 10) to work with client version '1.9.5 (r1770682)' (expects format 31). You need to upgrade the working copy first. Any idea how to fix that the correct way? Because just doing the svn upgrade on the affected folders does not seem to do it the right way imho. Kind Regards, N.

A graph that doesn't quite match the data
by Richard Kuhns 06 Apr '18

06 Apr '18

Hello, Here's a screenshot of 2 Traffic graphs for a 10G port on a Cisco 6509. The second (week) graph seems accurate, with the spike indicating a little over 300M bits/s. The first (day) graph indicates that the same spike is only 200M bits/s. The actual numbers under the graphs agree that the max is 337.03M. Traffic Why doesn't the first graph show the actual value? This is on v 18.3.9125. Thanks, -- Richard Kuhns <rjk(a)wintek.com> Wintek Corporation 427 N 6th Street Lafayette, IN 47901-2211 Main: 765-742-8428 Direct: 765-269-8541

Re: [Observium] Port Labeling
by Mike Stupalov 06 Apr '18

06 Apr '18

Hi, port_label is cleaned field (from unusefull information), generated based on multiple possible Oids (ie ifDescr, ifName). But anyway in db such fields ifDescr and ifName stored as is without changes and can used for alerts, etc. port_label is short as possible for display in most pages. I not see reasons for keep such data ( - Printer) for display in port names. This exactly should be stored in ifAlias (wich is port description). But.. if your device not support correct ifAlias, I can try to parse ifAlias for that os.

Rx/Tx Port Errors
by Erdem HAKI 06 Apr '18

06 Apr '18

Hello, I see several Rx/Tx port errors on my Observium. For example it says Tx: 25 on the home page, but when I click on the interface, the "Errors" graph shows me that Tx 118.69m, and I can not see anything wrong with the Tx when I check the interface errors from the router CLI. How can I verify these alarms are false positive or not? Alarms are not router specific, I got alarms from both Nokia and Juniper boxes. Best

Wanted to check with everyone to make sure its not builtin or I'm missing something simple before I create my own script.

Port Labeling
by Christian 05 Apr '18

05 Apr '18

Hello, I was introduced to Observium in early March, and coming from a Nagios / Cacti type of monitoring, I am completely impressed with the power of Observium. I have CE 17.9.0 and am in the process of deploying it at my location. I have a couple of smart switches that support SNMP, but are not capable of a Port label. Thus, Observium shows the switch as Port 1, Port 2, Port 3 instead of my desired “Port 1 - Bandwidth Control” “Port 2 - Linux Server” “Port 3 - Printer” … that sort of thing. I found that I could use NaviCat to edit the MySQL database to properly label the ports, but then the next polling cycle restores the generic port label 5 minutes later. Is there any way for me to modify the polling to leave the label alone? I don’t want to look into “locking” the [port_label] field of the database tables. If I may also ask, is there any way to tell Observium that a down port is the normal (green) condition? I have some switches with ports that are not active, and if something is plugged into them, an alert would be handy. Thank you again for this amazing software. Christian

Function gone missing
by Mike Hyslop 04 Apr '18

Hi guys. I have noticed that our weathermap has stopped updating, when I run it in debug mode it moans about function check_extension_exists() being missing. I have had a quick look through the source and can't see that function anywhere. Not sure if its been depreciated or renamed (or if it was surplus to requirements and simply removed) Cheers.

"External Web URL" not set or incorrect,

taildrops counted as errors since junos 15.X on EX series
by Arne Van Theemsche 01 Apr '18

01 Apr '18

Hi, we started to upgrade our juniper EX switches to 15.X release and notice a change of behaviour in error reporting at interface level in observium the problem lays that taildrops (which are activated by default and cannot just be, and isn't even a good practice to disable them) are now reported as errors in observium Output errors: Carrier transitions: 29, Errors: 0, Drops: 177209, Collisions: 0, Aged packets: 0, FIFO errors: 0, HS link CRC errors: 0, MTU errors: 0, Resource errors: 0 show interfaces queue xe-0/0/4 .... Tail-dropped packets : 177209 ...... prior to 15.X we only received reports/mails if the Errors Value was > 0. Honestly, we only care about errors, because taildrops will always happen from time to time I don't know if this is a change in behaviour of juniper snmp counters or that this is a flag in observium we can toggle? thx Arne
