VRF defined by route-target not route-distinguisher
by Simon Bell 09 Aug '17

09 Aug '17

Hi All, Just wondering if there is a way to use route-target to define our VRF's on observium instead of RD. We use route reflector's and therefore have a need for different RD's on each PE for the same VRF. However this means that we get 10 or so VRF's listings for the same VRF. Ideally we would just flip it to be RT if possible. (we use, Juniper MX, Cisco Nexus, Cisco IOS) Any feedback massively appreciated. Only had OBS running for just over a week and hugely impressed.

Hello everyone, I am a newbie to observium. I am using Observium CE 0.16.10.8128 (6th October 2016) . I have configured config.php as follows: $config['poller-wrapper']['alerter'] = TRUE; $config['email']['enable'] = TRUE; $config['email']['from'] = "noreply(a)xyz.com"; $config['email']['default'] = "uname(a)xyz.com"; $config['email']['default_only'] =TRUE; $config['email']['backend'] = "mail"; $config['email']['sendmail_path'] = "/usr/sbin/sendmail"; $config['email']['smtp_host'] = "smtp.xyz.com"; $config['email']['smtp_port'] = 587; $config['email']['smtp_timeout'] = 10; $config['email']['smtp_secure'] = "tls"; $config['email']['smtp_auth'] = TRUE; $config['email']['smtp_username'] = 'my uname'; $config['email']['smtp_password'] = 'my passwd'; I have added an alert check "device_status equals 0" for one of my server which i am monitoring using observium . The alert checker works fine as it can be seen from web based GUI but i am not receiving email notification on alert state change. Why so? Someone please guide me here is email notification not avaliable in this CE version or am i doing some where wrong? Thanks Regards, Vikas Kumar Masters Student CSE, IIT Bombay

syslog alert notifications not firing
by Joey Stanford 08 Aug '17

08 Aug '17

Howdy, I’ve setup syslog integration in our copy of observium. In the UI’s /syslog_alerts/ we are seeing the alerts. I have the syslog rules turned on in both our email and telegram contacts. I’ve rebuilt the rule checkers. Unfortunately we’re not getting alerted. We’re getting other alerts, just not for syslogs. I can’t find anything in the obs log or the server’s syslog that would tell me why it’s not working. Can anyone point me to how I can troubleshoot this please? Thanks, Joey

Hello, After the installation we have an issue with the rrdtool. In order to have a graph we must have a polling each 5 minutes, but that's used a lot of cpu. Is it possible to have a polling each 15 minutes and have all the graphs or not. And if it's possible, how we can do this, we have searched but not find how do this. Thank you for your help.

Hello, Currently we are using Observium to monitor many Windows servers and I can see CE edition doesn't show Windows mount points in host filesystem. Do Professional edition shows them ? It would be great to monitor disks capacity for typical disks (C:, D: ) as well as mount points. Regards, Silvio

Questions
by Polaris Networks Support 04 Aug '17

04 Aug '17

Hi, We're currently using Observium CE 0.16.9.8118 (30th September 2016) and mostly love the system. Not being a native Linux user has kept me on my toes! Our deployment is monitoring customer premises equipment over hub (us and Observium server) spoke (each client network) VPN tunnels. We're ready to start spending some money with you guys but had a few questions please? 1. Is it possible to set device dependencies, so for instance, if a WAN router fails, all of the devices behind it don't show as down? 2. Is it possible for a device to not show as down unless it fails to respond to multiple polling requests (such as three attempts?) Alerting to be based on these rules? 3. Can we brand the login page an UI with our company details, as we offer the whole system in a MSP role? Thank you. Kind regards, Jon Bennell *Polaris Networks* *T: *+44 203 397 3535 *W: *www.polarisnetworks.co.uk

LDAP Auth Help
by Troy 04 Aug '17

04 Aug '17

Happy end of the week! I'm struggling with LDAP auth (we use Jumpcloud <https://support.jumpcloud.com/customer/portal/articles/2439911> - so I think we have an added layer of weirdness to contend with). I can't find any information about how to generate (or where it might end up) debugging output so I can work out what I am doing wrong. I've configured the server details via the GUI and the config.php file has: $config['auth_mechanism'] = "ldap"; // default, other options: ldap, http-auth, please see documentation for config help $config['auth_ldap_binddn'] = "uid=ldap,ou=Users,o={AN_ACTUAL_VALUE},dc=jumpcloud,dc=com"; // Initial LDAP bind dn and password, leave empty for bind with user's dn $config['auth_ldap_bindpw'] = "{AN_ACTUAL_VALUE}"; $config['auth_ldap_bindanonymous'] = FALSE; $config['auth_ldap_groups']['observium']['level'] = 10; $config['auth_ldap_prefix'] = "uid="; $config['auth_ldap_suffix'] = ",ou=Users,o={AN_ACTUAL_VALUE},dc=jumpcloud,dc=com"; $config['auth_ldap_groupbase'] = "cn=observium,ou=Users,o={AN_ACTUAL_VALUE},dc=jumpcloud,dc=com"; $config['auth_ldap_groupmemberattr'] = "memberUid"; I'm trying to auth with an account that is a member of that group, but when I attempt to login the page just appears to refresh with no feedback. I've tried /?debug=yes , /?debug=on - but they don't output pre-auth. I've also had a look at the documentation <http://docs.observium.org/config_options/#debugging-profiling-settings> for debugging - but it's geared more towards operational debugging - and makes no mention of transactional debugging. The group data is below, any help would be appreciated! Thank you in advance. cn: observium description: tagGroup member: uid={A_USERNAME},ou=Users,o={A_VALUE},dc=jumpcloud,dc=com uid={A_USERNAME},ou=Users,o={A_VALUE},dc=jumpcloud,dc=com uid={A_USERNAME},ou=Users,o={A_VALUE},dc=jumpcloud,dc=com objectClass: top groupOfNames ou: observium -- Aperim Pty Ltd ACN 150 699 737 Disclaimer - Unless clearly stated otherwise this email and any files transmitted with it should be considered without prejudice and are confidential and contain privileged or copyright information.

ZFS File systems issue and incorrect storage reporting
by Hamilton, Kent 03 Aug '17

I have a system where the storage sizes are being reported incorrectly and there appears to be an issue with reading ZFS file systems being reported at all.

Multiple Payments
by Franks Andy (IT Technical Architecture Manager) 03 Aug '17

03 Aug '17

Hi, We're a subscriber to observium professional and recently did what we did last year and paid the £240 for renewal. The accounts department are querying that a further £180 has been taken out in the same month. I can only assume this is due to an auto renewal system. How do I enable / disable this, and how can we claim the money back since we seem to have paid twice? Thanks Andy Franks

Help with Alert Checker matching
by Troy 03 Aug '17

03 Aug '17

I'm hoping somebody can help with an alert checker. I'd like to look at "port_descr_notes" and if it contains NoAlert anywhere in it - not have it fire the *should be up rule*. ifAdminStatus equals up ifOperStatus equals down I've tried... port_descr_notes notmatch *NoAlert* port_descr_notes notregexp .*NoAlert.* Both with no success (they both completely invalidate the rule). The string "NoAlert" should be able to fall anywhere in the description, start, middle, end - or just completely by itself. Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

Wildcards in hostname device match not working
by Sebastian Klute 03 Aug '17

03 Aug '17

Hello everyone, today I noticed that wildcards are not working anymore if I use them for hostnames as I create new alert checker. the hostnames I try to trigger are commonly looking like this: vh01-name vh02-name ... vh16-name Simple running numbers counting up and the rest is the same. I tried the following masks as match: *name* vh* vh*-name none of the above are working. The current workaround is to write a hostname check for every machine, as I got 16 Device Match entries at the moment. Could this be because of the !=/ne operand I use? Because the logical function I try to accomplish is filtering out specific servers from a alerter, so they will be ignored and not checked. Can you give an advise? Thanks and much regards, Sebastian
