suggestion for cisco asa firewall graphs
by Tony Guadagno 12 Sep '25

12 Sep '25

Hi, I have been spending a lot of time with this graph (firewalls/graphs/firewalls/Remote Access sessions) and I am noticing something that does not make sense.. [cid:image001.png@01DC23D4.A70D0700] In this graph, you can see that I have 4 ssl tunnels and 13 lan-to-lan tunnels. Observium seems to be showing this as a stacked graph but I don't think that makes sense. When I get more sslvpn tunnels, it is bumping up the gold section which indicates lan-to-lan but it should not, lan-to-lan sessions are independent of sslvpn connections I would suggest that this should NOT be stacked....is it possible to make that change? thanks Tony Guadagno O +1 585 577 1003 C +1 585 703 6700 E tonyg(a)guadagnoconsulting.com<mailto:tonyg@guadagnoconsulting.com> [cid:image002.jpg@01DC23D4.A70D0700]

SQL Schema Update 509 -> 510 failing
by Wiethoff, Helge 11 Sep '25

11 Sep '25

I'm experiencing an issue with the SQL schema update process and would appreciate your guidance. The schema update from version 509 to 510 is failing during the discovery process. Here's the output I'm seeing: ./discovery.php -h none -- .... 509 -> 510 # (db) (Column collations were changed from UTF-8 to Latin1 where it wasn't actually necessary)...........F. Done (6s, 1 errors). -- Done. -- Observium is up to date. Has anyone encountered this issue before? Any insights or recommendations would be much appreciated. Best Helge

Small code suggestion related to the 'remote' auth type
by Nathan Neulinger 25 Aug '25

25 Aug '25

Relatively trivial edit, but allows the "remote" auth type to have the same functionality of looking up user access levels from database that the 'http-auth' one does. Useful if you want to have a couple of admin users, but let everyone else in as a global reader only. -- Nathan diff --git a/html/includes/authentication/remote.inc.php b/html/includes/authentication/remote.inc.php index 55f9a332..85a2e690 100644 --- a/html/includes/authentication/remote.inc.php +++ b/html/includes/authentication/remote.inc.php @@ -136,6 +136,12 @@ function remote_auth_user_level($username) { global $config; + //Attempt to look user up in DB, if something found, then return it + $tmp_level = dbFetchCell("SELECT `level` FROM `users` WHERE `username` = ?

Login Attempts fail on new CE install
by zack＠lima3.me 07 Aug '25

07 Aug '25

After a basic install of the CE edition, I am unable to log into the system. I added a user via CLI and can see that user as valid within the database. When I enable debug, I can see that the system is attempting the login but when it tries to pull the userlevel from the database, it does not appear to be passing the username into the query, so it is attempting to get the userlevel of username = '' and failing. The authentication failure is correctly populating into the auth_log insertion query. See below for the output of the debug info on the login page. Is this a bug in the system or is something configured incorrectly? I can see the user with level 10 in the database. SELECT * FROM `observium_attribs` SELECT @@SESSION.sql_mode; SET SESSION `sql_mode` = 'NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION' SELECT TIMEDIFF(NOW(), UTC_TIMESTAMP); SELECT * FROM `config` SELECT `username`, `password` FROM `users` WHERE `username` = 'lima3' AND `type` = 'mysql' SELECT `level` FROM `users` WHERE `username` = '' AND `type` = 'mysql' INSERT INTO `authlog` (`user`,`address`,`user_agent`,`result`) VALUES ('lima3','10.0.0.190','Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:141.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/141.0','Authentication Failure')

Configuring a custom dashboard
by Eric Bates 30 Jul '25

30 Jul '25

Sadly I can find no documentation on individual dashboard widgets? I want to create a dashboard with some specific graphs. Is there a widget which will display such? (I'd prefer not to have to do the "compose a blank HTML page with links to graphs" style of dashboard because of the authentication disconnect.) What is the widget used on the default dashboard to show Internet Traffic? What is "Traffic Composition?" (a.k.a "Traffic Comparison") and how do you configure it? All the the widgets appear to have a settings option where one adds flags of some sort to an array? But they don't appear to be editable? Thanks for your time. -- Clark 159a 508/289-3112

Huawei VRP - filtering by OS Version error
by sisak＠energotel.sk 17 Jul '25

17 Jul '25

Hello, After update to Observium 25.7.14103 (rolling) (14th July 2025) we see problem with filtering Huawei VRP devices by OS software. If I try to use discovered OS V200R011C10SPC600 (V200R011SPH009) as a filter parameter in result I see "No devices found Please try adjusting your search parameters". I have 7 devices discovered with this software. If I try to use discovered OS V200R019C00SPC500 as a filter parameter I am getting exact number of devices with this OS monitored by Observium. I did a rollback to 25.2.13882 (stable) (6th February 2025) where this problem isn't occurring. Is there some configuration I need to change, to be able to have working filter in new version? Thank you for response.
