Unable to parse header `DSName' rrdtool
by Sam Hernandez-gill 03 Mar '17

03 Mar '17

I have a few different rrdtool graphs that are outputting "RRDTool Output: ERROR: rrdc_fetch: Unable to parse header `DSName'" So far I've only noticed it on specific Citrix Netscaler graphs, the Netscaler SSL ones nsSslHandshakes, nsSslSessions, etc and TCP Connections and TCP Packets for the netscalers are all in the same state with Unable to parse header `DSName'. [cid:image001.png@01D29412.6D368F20] Sadly I didn't notice when, I did recently upgrade to revision 8417, however these aren't graphs I frequently look at. Anybody else with netscalers in their environment at the same revision?

Migration CentOS 6 to 7 - Graphs Failing
by Storer, Darren 03 Mar '17

03 Mar '17

Our Observium professional server file system was recently damaged beyond recovery. Fortunately the database and the Observium directory had been backed up the night before. The older server OS was CentOS 6 and the new OS is CentOS 7 (both 64 bit). The Observium directory was restored and the database imported; now the Observium web page is working well, with visibility of all devices, historic stats/states/graphs etc. The cron jobs are running and polling etc. - the state of devices updates dynamically via the map too. However, there are no updates to the any of the graphs. I'm not sure if there is a database problem, RRD problem or file permissions problem. Placing /debug after various pages does not reveal any problems. Can anyone recommend other places to look for debug/logging information? Thanks in advance Darren

[observium] facing problem in email alerting.
by Santanu Mandal 03 Mar '17

03 Mar '17

Hello Guys, I am facing a problem regarding Observium Alerting. Few days ego I have enabled alerts and configured to send to couple of specific email ids. Configured those email Ids in .php file as well as in GUI. Due to some reason I have removed those email Ids to stop sending alerts. Now Observium starts collecting email ids from 'snmp contact' configuration of device and sending alerts to this email id. Please let me know what to configure so that Observium would not be able to send emails to the email id which is configured in snmp contact of network device ? Thanks,

Traffic Accounting
by Fred Pedrisa 03 Mar '17

03 Mar '17

Hi, guys. I plan to renew my subscription with you, but before doing it, I wanted to make sure, if now we can select "which stream" can be accounted, being : rx, tx or rx+tx, I'm asking this, because we have different ways of billing customer ports and this is a must for us. If this is not present, any chance you could add a switch for this ? It would be great if so. Sincerely, Fred

Re: [Observium] observium Digest, Vol 80, Issue 3
by Don Maker 03 Mar '17

03 Mar '17

Sorry, but I don't see any attached graphs. I do believe that Cisco memory graphs are working for other people, just not for me. When I go to graphs, system, all I see is processors and device uptime. Not sure where to start troubleshooting and/or correcting this. I should also note that I am using the Turnkey Linux appliance.

Should I be seeing memory usage graphs on Cisco devices?
by Don Maker 03 Mar '17

03 Mar '17

I have various Cisco devices ( catalyst switches, ios routers, ios-xe, etc), but none of them are showing any memory usage details in observium. I was surprised by this as observium did a remarkable job of recognizing and displaying information for things that most snmp tools do not, Qnap for example. It does recognize my Cisco devices and reports back on just about everything, but memory. Other tools I tried, such as Manageengine, PRTG, etc reported the memory with no issue. So, I'm skeptical that there is anything wrong with my snmp setup. I would really love to get memory usage for my Cisco devices. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears. Thanks

Syslog parsing for NXOS
by Markus Bornhauser 02 Mar '17

02 Mar '17

Hi list, Sorry if this had been asked before, but I'm unable to browse the mailing list archives. I have set up syslog parsing with Rsyslogd, like documented [1]. The syslog.php script does receive the logs and saves them in the database. Parsing logs from both Cisco Catalyst (IOS) and Cisco Nexus switches, I discovered that the NXOS logs are parsed incorrectly (see screenshot [2]). Does Observium support NXOS logs, or do I have to change something to make it as perfect as with IOS logs? [1] https://observium.org/docs/syslog/#rsyslogd [2] https://snag.gy/2eDsgH.jpg

Observium weathermap issue
by Sophanith Chhom 01 Mar '17

Hi All, I think weathermap is not part of Observium, but if anyone has the same issue with me please share Since I tried to created a few maps via web using weathermap editor like example1.conf, example2.conf, example3.conf and point it to like /maps/example1.html, /maps/example2.html, /maps/example3.html Then I tried to open each map, but all maps will link to the same content instead (like in the same example3). This is so strange if anyone used to have this issue like me, please share how you can fix it Thanks a lot

Observium API / CE 0.16.1.7533
by Uwe Freier 28 Feb '17

28 Feb '17

Hello, sorry for a maybe stupid question but I searched the Observium docs and FAQs and tried to search the mailing lists archive but latest was not available because the link to 'observium Archivs' on mailman's web interface leads to a 404. Is there an API to Observium and if is there a doc anywhere? Maybe I'm blind but I cannot find any related information if I inserted 'API' in the search field of the Obeservium docs. Google finds some pages that talk of " $config['api']['enabled'] = 1;" and/or query strings for an api.php - I do not even have an api.php in my observium installation. Some Observium values should be made available through a CRM and an API might be a smooth solution. Any tipps appreciated! Thanks, Uwe

"WARNING: 0 devices discovered" Could you try the following query to see what comes back snmpwalk -v3 <your-snmpv3-details-here> par01-esx02-bl2 sysDescr I think you need to validate that your server is actually answering SNMP queries for you. VMware have long been reluctant to do much with SNMP (prefering to push people towards vCenter/vCOPS). As a result, their support for revealing lots of physical host information leaves a bit to be desired.

Graph direct link changes when group membership changes
by Jesper Frank Nemholt 23 Feb '17

23 Feb '17

Hi! I'm using the direct link to graphs for a dashboard. Not sure this was the intended usage, but I found an issue that I think could be avoided related to this. It looks like graphs in this view are getting encoded IDs that somehow relate to the devices in the group, so the URL looks like this below. The issue is that when having lots of devices in a view, the id field gets really long and eventually will cause the graph creation to fail....however another and bigger issue is that it seems the id actually change when new devices are added (which happens during auto-discovery). Is there any way to fix the id to a numeric number like used with other graphs ? http://observium/graph.php?to=1487801959&id=WyIzMjE5MSIsIjMyNTE1IiwiMzMxNjM… /Jesper

When using device search (Devices->All Devices), then selecting hardware type (for example DES-1210-26/ME), we can find 8 devices from our network, that's ok. But we have updated the firmware version of this specific device, and when trying to do the same search in Observium, It can't find the device with updated firmware. And this happened with every device we upgraded. Quick search bar finds the device without any problems. Could this be related to the caching update? Thank you

Can't write new info to Observium
by Karolis Birgėla 22 Feb '17

22 Feb '17

Hello all, never happened to me before, but Obsevium acts strangely lately for me. When trying to add a new device via web, it sucessfully adds it, but it's page appears to be missing. It says something like 'You entered a device which does not exist' or something similar. What is more, when I want to manually change device's description on the web, it says 'Device record updated'. But the info that I've written has not appeared. What could have caused this? I don't remember doing any changes to my Observium server, except doing an update. Version 17.2.8364 (stable) Everything else works as it should. Thank you
