Panasas support
by Louis Bailleul 26 Feb '16

26 Feb '16

Hi, I have a few Panasas devices that (not surprisingly) Observium doesn’t handle very well. It basically only get the uptime out of it. The devices are similar to this : http://www.panasas.com/products/activestor-16-18 I have attached debug discovery, poller and snmpwalk of the top tree and enterprise parts. I also have attached the mibs from the device (retrieved from the device itself) and a logo (retrieved from http://www.panasas.com/news/press-room ) It looks like there is very little in the standard places and every interesting thing has been shoved into the enterprise tree. Do you think it is possible to add support for these devices ?

Filtering ports/devices
by Michael 26 Feb '16

26 Feb '16

Does anybody know of a syntax that will allow multiple matches when filtering on device hostnames? I'm specifically on the all ports page. We've smashed two separate networks together and there are different naming conventions in use. When I want to look at only one side of the network, it would be easy if I could match all devices starting with p, s or m-. The hostname field doesn't seem to accept regex, nor does it accept "or" statements. Is there a solution to this? Cheers, Michael

Alerts based on RRD averages?
by Stephen Fulton 25 Feb '16

25 Feb '16

Hi all, I'm curious if it is possible to create an alert that considers an RRD average? For example, if I want to generate an alert that looks at the average utilization of a port over a 24 hour period, and if the average bit rate or percentage is greater than X, send an alert? I have been working with alerts that trigger based on a percentage, but if the port drops below that mark for even a short period of time (minutes, perhaps even an hour or two), the clock resets. That's proving troublesome. Any suggestions? Thanks, -- Stephen

HP mfp m527 and mfp m577 printers
by Richard Kuhns 25 Feb '16

25 Feb '16

Greetings, We've just purchased both of these printers. I've started monitoring them with Observium, but all I see under Inventory are the printer itself (hrDevicePrinter) and the printer's hard disk (hrDeviceDiskStorage). Have I missed doing something, or are these printers just not supported? This is by no means urgent. I've never tried to monitor a printer before and I just wanted to see what Observium told me about them.

Getting "DB schema not installed, first install it." After CE upgrade
by KA PDE 25 Feb '16

25 Feb '16

Hi everyone, Today I've upgraded a CE Observium from 0.15.6 to 0.16.1 and it broke. It only shows DB schema not installed. I've noticed some errors in update-errors.log [2016/02/25 07:37:08 +0000] discovery.php(29504): Error: (1046) No database selected [2016/02/25 07:37:08 +0000] discovery.php(29504): Query: ALTER TABLE `bgpPeers` ADD INDEX `bgp_cache` (`bgpPeer_id`, `device_id`, `bgpPeerState`, `bgpPeerAdminStatus`, `bgpPeerRemoteAs`); [2016/02/25 07:37:08 +0000] discovery.php(29504): Error: (1046) No database selected [2016/02/25 07:37:08 +0000] discovery.php(29504): Query: ALTER TABLE `ospf_instances` ADD INDEX `ospf_cache` (`device_id`, `ospf_instance_id`, `ospfAdminStat`); [2016/02/25 07:37:08 +0000] discovery.php(29504): Error: (1046) No database selected [2016/02/25 07:37:08 +0000] discovery.php(29504): Query: ALTER TABLE `vrfs` ADD INDEX `vrf_cache` (`vrf_id`, `device_id`, `mplsVpnVrfRouteDistinguisher`); [2016/02/25 07:37:08 +0000] discovery.php(29504): Error: (1046) No database selected [2016/02/25 07:37:08 +0000] discovery.php(29504): ====== Schema update 264 -> 265 ============== [2016/02/25 07:37:08 +0000] discovery.php(29504): Query: ALTER TABLE `alerts_maint` ADD INDEX `maint_cache` (`maint_start`, `maint_end`); [2016/02/25 07:37:08 +0000] discovery.php(29504): Error: (1046) No database selected [2016/02/25 07:37:08 +0000] discovery.php(29504): ====== Schema update 265 -> 266 ============== [2016/02/25 07:37:08 +0000] discovery.php(29504): Query: ALTER TABLE `snmp_errors` DROP INDEX `error_index`; [2016/02/25 07:37:08 +0000] discovery.php(29504): Error: (1046) No database selected [2016/02/25 07:37:08 +0000] discovery.php(29504): Query: ALTER TABLE `snmp_errors` ADD UNIQUE `error_index` (`device_id`, `error_code`, `snmp_cmd`, `mib`(50), `oid`(100)); [2016/02/25 07:37:08 +0000] discovery.php(29504): Error: (1046) No database selected The strange thing is that I recently upgraded another server with no issues. The only difference is that I added the following config line later as there was an alert in the GUI (and now I'm adding it from start): $config['db_extension'] = 'mysqli'; Any hint will be greatly appreciated. Best regards, Pau

Possible bug
by Nagy Attila 24 Feb '16

24 Feb '16

Hi all, We are using a customized location rewrite function to split the SNMP location of devices into a human readable and a machine understandable format. We are using the community edition, and on updating to the recent version we were faced with thIS error message: PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare custom_rewrite_location() (previously declared in /opt/observium/config.php:87) in /opt/observium/config.php on line 102 This is a common error when a php file is included/required more than once, so I made a workaround by renaming config.php to config.user.php and using require_once() in the original config.php to load these directives (it needs absolute path otherways it cannot find the file). Shouldn't require_once/include_once be used in all the places where referencing config.php? Br, Tylla,

Observium syslog year -0001
by Jason Vanlandingham 24 Feb '16

24 Feb '16

Lately (Since last CE update, I think) I've been seeing syslog messages for my Cisco router with a date stamp of "-0001-11-30" with text reading just something like "1:1". A little searching reveals that there was a mail list post from July 2014 for the same thing happening with Netgear equipment, but the only way I could see that post was through Google's cached result, and I can't find any replies. Is anyone else getting this? Known issue, perhaps?
