cisco c3850 sensor warnings
by Wiethoff, Helge 24 Apr '18

24 Apr '18

Hi everyone, I have a small problem with our Cisco WS-C3850-24T-E switches. The temperature sensors are marked "down" in the overview and "warning" in the detail view. The actual values do not indicate a problem with the temperature. We use Observium Professional r9195. Does anyone have any idea why the sensors are marked this way and how I can get them into "Up"-state? cheers, Helge

More IP on same device
by Luca Sasdelli 23 Apr '18

23 Apr '18

Hi, we use Observium to monitor even some firewalls from the outside, to check the connectivity status; does it exist any way to override the "Already got device" error when the SNMP is already within the database, just for some devices? Just as a hint, a way to use more IPs to gain the same device, and relative availability graph only, would be great. Best Luca

aggregate Disk IO graph
by Richard Wigzell 23 Apr '18

23 Apr '18

Hello, is there a way to create an aggregate Disk IO graph for multiple devices ? We have a number of LHN nodes that give us this information in the graphs/type=device_diskio_ops tab and it would be useful to not have to add them up manually.

Observium frequently losts "Ignore Until" information
by Edvinas K 23 Apr '18

23 Apr '18

Hello, I've some alerts which i want to ignore till some time. So im pressing "Ignore until". But sometimes this information gets lost and alert appears again. In these situation "Ignore until" button in clean. I think it's have something to do with NX-OS software. Is there any workaround ? The only workaround at this time is to exclude that devices in alert rules. What is very uncomfortable.. Thank you

Automate a Maintenance Window
by Tomas Morales 21 Apr '18

Hi all We have some Observium instances and we want to be able to automate the generation of a maintenance window via a script instead of having to login in each GUI and generate it. Is there any commands or mysql entry we can add to do this?

General Questions for a New User
by Carlos Alvarado Lobo 21 Apr '18

21 Apr '18

Dear Sirs: I’m a new user and I currently have a suscription license. I have some questions and I need your support to resolve them! 1- How many devices can manage the platform using a production license (Supcription Edition)? and How many the Community Edition? Is it limited by the amount of equipment or by the parameters to be monitored? I have a project to monitor 300 UPS APC and 5 parameter per device and I need to confirm if it is possible !! 2- Right now, I have Observium installed on a Dell R230 server, Intel Xeon E3-1220V3 / 3.1 GHz, 8 GB DDR3L SDRAM, 2 TB hard drive capacity; I need to document or validate that Observium can be installed without problems on this server! 3- Regarding the license, How can I differentiate between a test installation and the production environment? We need to made testing with notification before put on production! 4- How can I get the Observium documentation in pdf? Regards, Carlos Alvarado

Enhancement request
by Andrew Lemin 19 Apr '18

19 Apr '18

Hi, Just two small enhancement requests ;) 1) We love the Search feature to search for IPs and MACs, a true time saver. And adding the ability to sort by the columns would be fantastic. After doing a search for all loopbacks for example, it would be great if we could sort the resulting list by the "Device", "Interface", "Address" or "Description" columns. The list currently seems to sort by "Address", but alphabetically not numerically etc. Use case example, I am programming some explicit-paths for some traffic engineering tunnels, and so I need to find the loopbacks of every router along the path to which I want to fix the TE tunnel. I can search for all loopbacks no problem, but we have lots or them as routers also have multiple loopbacks.. However I am just interesting in "Lo0" on every single router. So after doing the search for all loopbacks, if we could then just click on the "Interface" column heading, that would put all the Lo0's first.. voilà :) 2) We also love the simplicity and power provided by utilizing the [] {} () brackets on descriptions to store the values into the different database fields. But the CDR [] is limited. This is probably one of the most powerful features, as it allows you to not have to configure monitoring, but instead to only configure the network and monitoring then automatically does its thing and follows the network :) We would like to do more with the [CDR] field, but are hamstrung by the fact that the CDR is not converted into bits in the database. The star feature would be to create an alert checker that fires when utilisation breaches the configured CDR. We know this has been requested and requires some code reworking.. We just wanted to add our names to the list of users after this feature. Thanks again for your time and creating such a great project. Because it is so good we still have on our roadmap a desire to put in some time and effort to contribute to the project, and figure out all the OIDs and their mappings etc and attempt to write a page for showing LDP neighbours and various other MPLS things. Given time I am determined to get around to this ;) Best regards, Andy Lemin.

Re: [Observium] Autodiscover - LLDP discovery
by Adam Armstrong 18 Apr '18

18 Apr '18

The original design of Observium was to enforce valid hostnames. We no longer enforce this for adding devices (because some networks are run by insane people who like looking at huge lists of nearly identical IPs), but a lot of the autodiscovery code still uses sysName and forward dns lookups to verify if a device should really be autodiscovered. Changing this behaviour would involve time, so one would have to be persuasive with one's justification. :> adam. ------ Original Message ------ From: "Christian Eriksson" <christian.eriksson(a)advania.se> To: "observium(a)observium.org" <observium(a)observium.org> Sent: 2018-04-16 11:10:03 Subject: [Observium] 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?

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.

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

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?
