Different polling frequency for certain graphs
by MKS 24 Mar '17

24 Mar '17

We are using the standard polling frequency of 5min, which is fine for normal (customer) interfaces. But regarding core interface (in our MPLS network) 5 min polling type does not show short outages etc. Is there any way to poll certain graphs (e.g. limited number with a certain tag) with another frequency (e.g. 1 min), Or do I have to have a another observium instance for that? Regards MKS

All Ports Removed
by John Harris 24 Mar '17

24 Mar '17

Hello Everyone, I am having an issue with an Extreme Network switch. I add the switch and everything looks fine, the issue occurs after the first poll and all the ports get removed. All other graphs are working fine (power, fans, etc) when I got to ports page there is nothing. I have several other Extreme Network switches that all the ports show up just fine. Any help would be appreciated. -- John Harris

Fortigate multiple CPU's not showing
by Richard Savage 23 Mar '17

23 Mar '17

Hi We have lots of fortigates monitored in observium (running rolling version 17.3.8418) and most of them have multiple CPU's (depends which model depends on what CPUs it has). Observium only shows 1 CPU but when looking at the fortigate we can see there are numerous CPU's. (eg. the one ive shown below is a Fortigate 1000D which has 8 CPU's but observium only shows 1). Is this fixable so that observium shows all the CPU's? Observium screenshot: Fortigate screenshot: Many Thanks Rich

Vrf polling question
by Jan Horacek 18 Mar '17

18 Mar '17

Good morning guys during implementation observium I experienced issue with vrf polling I can't solve and also didn't find respective answer in forums. Let me introduce problem itself. We have Cisco based network with big number of vrfs. Every single vrf doesn't have only one RD, but unique RD per device. Even this last octet on all distinguishers is same so for example Vrf 1 on R1 is rd 1.1.1.1 Vrf 1 on R2 is rd 1.1.1.2 Is it possible somehow edit web interface to show all vrfs grouped by name or last rd octet as primary key, because right now I see in observium big bunch duplicated vrfs. Hope my trouble is understandable and some solution exists. Thanks Jan

No valid device specified

First time I've run into this issue... I added a device. It shows up fine in the device hitlist. But when I click on the device name for details I get: "No valid device specified A valid device was not specified in the URL. Please retype and try again." Any idea why this would be occurring? No way to delete/readd the device too because of this.

Observium LDAP with TLS
by Vlad Kratsberg 17 Mar '17

17 Mar '17

Hello, We are trying to enable TLS on top of ldap connections. Once, i change startls to FALSE or required $config['auth_ldap_starttls'] = TRUE; $config['auth_ldap_starttls'] = 'required'; I get the following message: [image: Inline image 1] What does it mean exactly ? Version mismatch ? Cert error ? When I check packet capture, i see the following: [image: Inline image 2] And inside the client response ( packet # 9 ), there is this: [image: Inline image 3] Does it mean that observium can't find a certificate ? If so, which directory should i place certs ? I have another app on the same box that is using ldap with tls and it is working just fine. Also, what TLS versions are supported by observium ? Has anybody experienced the same issue ? Were you able to resolve it ? Appreciate your responses. Thank you

Having an issue getting the agent to behave itself on a server. Getting this error when looking at xinetd status: Must specify a server in observium_agent I double checked all of the file locations and they are all correct. We have the unix agent running on other servers with an issue, this one is just being challenging. Has anyone else seen an error like that before?
