ATM interfaces not showing on Device Overview
by Bruce-Young Majola 05 Apr '12

05 Apr '12

Hi Adam, I am having a strange issues which I need your help in troubleshooting. I have this 7606 which has ATM interfaces configured but the problem is that when I discover this device, all the interfaces are discovered include ATM ones but as soon as the poller runs, they disappear again. I am not sure how to fix this issues. I am running the latest version of Observium. Thanks for your help.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR LARGE INSTALLS. Also PROCEED WITH CAUTION. How many ports == "LARGE INSTALLS"?

Re: [Observium] poller doesn’t kick the apache-stats.py script
by Andrew Beals 05 Apr '12

Rather than modifying the poller script, simply commenting out the "mibs :" line at the bottom of /etc/snmp/snmp.conf on your Observium server box is sufficient to get the polling to work correctly. Ubuntu put that line in citing "licensing issues" with the MIBs.

rrd time selection is wrong
by Nikolay Shopik 04 Apr '12

04 Apr '12

It seems like when you select time to show graph it doesn't take in consideration timezone. Basically if I select from 18:00 till now and press update time in "From" field update to 22:00 (I have GMT+4 zone). You can click update multiply times and graph time will be moving after each click.

Hi, I just upgraded to the latest version of Observium and I noticed after running discovery that the VRF descriptions are now truncated, see below.

SNMPv3 implementation
by Guillaume Leclanche 31 Mar '12

31 Mar '12

Hello, attached is the patch for the implementation of SNMPv3. I've been testing it on my system and devices, and it seems to be working properly. Since it's a core function of the soft, I guess it would be good that other people give it a try before it is committed. I use NET-SNMP version: 5.4.3. Be careful that a few files use direct calls to net-snmp instead of calling observium library functions. It means that those calls will not work with an snmpv3 device. includes/discovery/cisco-mac-accounting.inc.php: $datas = shell_exec($config['snmpbulkwalk'] . " -M ".$config['mibdir']." -m CISCO-IP-STAT-MIB -Oqn -".$device['snmpver']." -c ".$device['community']."

'.$device['hostname'].' ifDescr.101'); I will send a patch to fix cisco-vrf after this mail, but the other files will still be incompatible with snmpv3 (keep your devices in SNMPv2 if you use any of the incompatible calls).

Cisco-vrf discovery - huge performance improvement
by Guillaume Leclanche 31 Mar '12

31 Mar '12

Hi, As I wanted to make Cisco VRF discovery SNMPv3-compatible, I realized that it was actually very slow. So I change the philosophy of it (bulkwalk all SNMP info first then analyze in the code), and here's the result for a device with 500 VRFs: Old version : Discovered in 65.83 seconds New version : Discovered in 3.234 seconds At the same time I made it SNMPv3-compatible, and I added the support for CISCO-L3VPN-STD-MIB that is the more recent MIB and the only one supported on the latest releases of IOS/IOS-XR. I tested it with Cisco Hw and it's fine, but for the other vendors implementing the MIB, somebody else will have to test it :) Guillaume

Legend shows not-existent interfaces
by Nikolay Shopik 29 Mar '12

29 Mar '12

When you open Total Traffic graph, you may see in Legend interfaces which doesn't really exist on this device. Additionally sometimes you may see duplicate interfaces in Legend, which do exist. I wonder what may cause of this and to fix it?

Get Interface UP and DOWN mails for ignored ports since about r2922
by Matthias Cramer 27 Mar '12

27 Mar '12

Hi Adam and All since about r2922 I get DOWN and UP alert mail for Ports ignored by $config['bad_if_regexp'][] = "/^tnl[0-9]/"; Looks like this is not checked when sending mail, only on the web front end. Would be very very nice if that can be fixed. Regards Matthias P.S.
