How to trigger of checkpoint FW state in observium?
by Steve Costaras 22 Nov '17

22 Nov '17

We're running observium pro stable release 17.10.8930 and are monitoring several checkpoint firewalls with it. I'm trying to figure out how to generate an alert when the firewalls fail over or when a state change occurs. I see that it's being polled as it's displayed for the device header. as you can see attached. This comes from checkpoint from the 1.3.6.1.4.1.2620.1.5.6.0 OID: SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2620.1.5.6.0 = STRING: "active" But I don't see any method to select that as an entity type? Anyone have any pointers?

unable to display openvpn graphs
by Vikas Kumar 21 Nov '17

21 Nov '17

Hi all i have recently added my openvpn server to observium server for openvpn application monitoring. i have installed {{ xinetd and copied the openvpn script to }}/usr/lib/observium_agent/local/openvpn path. I have opened the openvpn server management port by adding 1st line as "management 10.100.115.220 49000 /etc/openvpn/pass.txt and then restarted openvpn and xinetd. When i checked using netstat on openvpn server the server is listening on tcp port 49000.{{}} i can access the management console of openvpn when i run the following command from my observium server "telnet 10.100.115.220 49000" followed by a password. But i cannot see the graphs of load and users connected in the Web GUI. I have checked RRD folder also of the device there is no rrd file named openvpn.rrd or so. The unix agent is already added to observium server and when i do "telnet 10.100.115.220 36602 | grep openvpn" then i get the following output : (nobody,223056,32312,0.2) /usr/sbin/openvpn --config vpn-routing.conf --daemon vpn-routing (nobody,195680,15056,2.3) /usr/sbin/openvpn --daemon --writepid /var/run/openvpn/vpn-bridge.pid --cd /etc/openvpn/ --config vpn-bridge.conf But i cannot see the graphs in web gui someone please help.

ASR-9000 PSU Status / Alarms
by Robert Williams 17 Nov '17

17 Nov '17

Hi all, Just noticed a strange problem with reporting alarms on the ASR9001 (XR5.3.4). A lab router was reloaded and when it came back up there is a "Major" chassis alarm as one of the two PSUs has failed. However, neither the PSU failure nor the 'MAJ' alarm status are detected by Observium. Even after a full discovery and polling, it is all green and happy on Observium it seems. In fact, it shows only 1 PSU now, even though two are installed and one is in a failed state: (All other 9001 have 2 x "ASR-9001 AC Power Supply" entries here) Console output confirms the fault and the presence of the major alarm, as well as a few different things (like N+1 resilience lost and 'Capacity') which could be used to detect this issue (if they are in Cisco-SNMP-land that is). #show env power R/S/I Modules Capacity Status (W) 0/PS0/M0/* host PM 750 Ok 0/PS0/M1/* host PM 0 Failed <<<<<<<< #show env power <snip> N+1 Supply Protected Capacity Available: Not Protected <<<<<<<< #show environment leds R/S/I Modules LED Status 0/RSP0/* host Critical-Alarm Off host Major-Alarm On <<<<<<<< host Minor-Alarm Off RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:RTR-123(admin)#show env power states Wed Nov 15 16:59:15.135 GMT R/S/I State MaxPower Time Count (1-ON/2-OFF) (W) (YY:WK:DD:HH:MIN:SS) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 0/PS0/M0/* 1 750 00:00:00:00:59:27 1 2 0 00:00:00:00:00:00 0 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 0/PS0/M1/* 1 0 00:00:00:00:00:00 0 2 0 00:00:00:00:59:27 1 <<<<<< '2 = Off' so......Can anything be done to tune-up the detection of such issues? In this case it was pure chance I noticed the fault after the reload as I had to be physically in front of it to patch something in. Otherwise I'd not have known. Any ideas? Cheers!

observations on link flapping
by Edvinas K 14 Nov '17

14 Nov '17

Hello, Observium did a very good job providing such a good application for monitoring network state. I'm very thankful for that. But ofcourse some pieces are missing. For example monitoring of interfaces flap. I wanted to ask - what is you solution to monitor a link flaps ? Do you do SYSLOG monitoring for that ? Or some kind of separate SNMP-TRAP software ? can you give any recommendation ? Thanks

Hello, I think observium can, but not sure how to monitor a Power Supply count on each device. For example every device have 2 PSU's. Even the observium graphs are showing that count. So, how it's possible to add the PSU count as the alert checker ? I think im lost in entities world.. Thanks

Syslog alerting
by Tero Kykkänen 13 Nov '17

13 Nov '17

Hi, We have Observium Version 17.11.8943 installed on a Linux 4.4.0-98-generic [amd64] (Ubuntu 16.04) server. We made syslog integration with syslog-ng and tried to do syslog alerting but we can't get it to work, for some reason it says "No logging alert entries found!". We do see those alerts in the syslog tab but not on the alert tab. [cid:image001.png@01D358A4.9932F210] [cid:image002.png@01D358A4.9932F210] I will happily give more information if needed.

Problem with PoE status indicator on a HPE 5130 switch
by Thomas Stather 10 Nov '17

10 Nov '17

Hi I am having a problem with a PoE status indicator on a switch which is used in our datacenter: Observium: Observium Professional 8930 (stable) Switch: HPE 5130 48G PoE+ 4SFP+ 1-slot HI Switch JH326A This is a switch cluster containing 2 switches via IRF. Initially, PoE was only enabled on the first one but approx. 1 month ago it was enables on the second switch as well. However, the sensor "PoE group 7" (which is used for the second cluster member) shows the status as "off" with a value of 2 (whereas "PoE group 4 " is showing "on" with a value of 1 as it should be). Is this an error maybe and how can i fix this false-positive? Thanks in advance!

Observium Installscript
by Markus Klock 10 Nov '17

10 Nov '17

Hi guys, I got tired of doing the Observium setup everytime when I installed a lot of VMs so I wrote an automatic installscript for installing Observium It works for Ubuntu 14/16 and Debian 8/9 and it also gives you an option to install the unix-agent and have it monitor itself with the Apache and MySQL-app. I would love to have it tested in more environments so if you are about to install an Observium somewhere, please give the script a try. You find the script here: https://github.com/ZerxXxes/observium_installscript (please don't read the code, its a ugly mess) /Markus

generation of false alarm ?
by Edvinas K 10 Nov '17

10 Nov '17

Hello, What could be the reason of the generation of false alarm: *ALERT* Modify <http://10.13.40.217/device/device=382/tab=alert/alert_entry=7751/> *Alert* *MoreThan80PortUtilization* *Entity* *Ethernet1/51 <http://10.13.40.217/device/device=382/tab=port/port=1694030/>* *Descr* NXOS1-ITXx2 *Conditions* ifOutOctets_perc ge 80 (395649) *Metrics* ifInOctets_perc = 11 * ifOutOctets_perc = 395649* *Duration* 10m 8s (2017-11-08 02:18:10) As you coud notice the *ifOutOctets_perc = 395649 * shows some irregular value, which's not on the graphs itself, but the alarm is generated. During migration the migration period from old observium server to new one, at same time we have two observiums running, so older one have the same alerts configured - but that (older one) haven't generated any false alarm. So - waht could be the reason ? Thanks!
