Traffic Accounting not updating
by Cameron Murray 16 Feb '16

16 Feb '16

Adam, It appears that our OBS isn't updating the accounting details such as 95%ile. The cron task is identical to the how-to. What command can we run to manually update these figures?

Speeding up caching and database
by Louis Bailleul 16 Feb '16

16 Feb '16

Hi Team, I have a performance issue with the web interface. My Observium is monitoring 3095 devices from which 168 are switches (Just a bit less than 20000 ports total). My server is an IBM X3650 M4, 32G of ram, 6 cores and a raid 10 of SSD. I am more than happy with the polling performance has it finishing in under 200seconds. But the web interface is quite annoying : I have a minimum Time to first bit of ~2seconds. Once these two seconds have passed the page load almost instantly, graphs included. So the question is, can I speed things up ? And if yes how ? It looks like Observium is spending about a second in the database and says that the Cache took 2 seconds to process (?). Do I have some leverage on these points to make it faster ? Page load time (Just a device page) : Connection Setup TIME Queueing 5.24 ms Stalled 1.26 ms Request sent 0.80 ms Waiting (TTFB) 3.29 s Content Download 26.62 ms Explanation 3.33 s Observium Performance report : Page 2.281s Cache 2.047s MySQL Cell 50/0.0633s Row 35/0.0113s Rows 49/0.7822s Column 8/0.0564s Memory Cached 180MB Page 189MB Peak 229MB Versions: Observium 0.16.1.7535 (27th January 2016) OS Linux 3.10.0-327.el7.x86_64 [amd64] (CentOS 7.2.1511) Apache 2.4.6 (CentOS) PHP/5.4.16 PHP 5.4.16 Python 2.7.5 MySQL 5.5.44-MariaDB-log (extension: mysqli 5.5.44-MariaDB) SNMP NET-SNMP 5.7.2 RRDtool 1.4.8 Stats : Statistics DB size 606MB RRD size 134GB Devices 3095 Ports 19390 IPv4 Addresses 6148 IPv4 Networks 44 IPv6 Addresses 2959 IPv6 Networks 1 Services 0 Applications 0 Processors 61262 Memory 15563 Storage 11742 Disk I/O 97461 HR-MIB 96815 Entity-MIB 7292 Syslog Entries 0 Eventlog Entries 172938 Sensors 3863 Toner Mysqltuner output : -------- Performance Metrics ------------------------------------------------- [--] Up for: 2d 21h 57m 9s (260M q [1K qps], 5K conn, TX: 283B, RX: 45B) [--] Reads / Writes: 59% / 41% [--] Binary logging is disabled [--] Total buffers: 10.5G global + 4.7M per thread (650 max threads) [OK] Maximum reached memory usage: 11.2G (35.94% of installed RAM) [OK] Maximum possible memory usage: 13.5G (43.37% of installed RAM) [OK] Slow queries: 0% (14K/260M) [OK] Highest usage of available connections: 21% (142/650) [OK] Aborted connections: 0.00% (0/5477) [OK] Query cache efficiency: 32.3% (74M cached / 230M selects) [OK] Query cache prunes per day: 0 [OK] Sorts requiring temporary tables: 0% (129 temp sorts / 182K sorts) [OK] Temporary tables created on disk: 0% (201 on disk / 112K total) [OK] Thread cache hit rate: 97% (142 created / 5K connections) [OK] Table cache hit rate: 102% (922 open / 896 opened) [OK] Open file limit used: 5% (52/1K) [OK] Table locks acquired immediately: 97% (244M immediate / 249M locks) -------- MyISAM Metrics ----------------------------------------------------- [!!] Key buffer used: 18.0% (28M used / 157M cache) [OK] Key buffer size / total MyISAM indexes: 150.0M/99.0K [!!] Read Key buffer hit rate: 93.3% (15 cached / 1 reads) -------- InnoDB Metrics ----------------------------------------------------- [--] InnoDB is enabled.

Sorting on traffic bug?
by Steffie Morris 13 Feb '16

13 Feb '16

Hi, when you are in the ports view of a switch, and you sort on the column traffic. speeds op 900Mbit are sorted before 1.5Gbit. probably because 900 is larger than 1.5 but the unit is different so i guess that needs to be taken into account somehow?

Hello, Password reset on https://www.observium.org/subs/index.php does not appear to be working. My observium username and password is not working on the svn anymore and I cannot login to account management. Is this a known issue?

Hello everyone, I am inquiring on whether it is possible to monitor some key network services on Windows servers using the subscription version of Observium. An example would be: IIS web service (UP/DOWN). Thank you, Matt.
