Anyone else have anything similar to this: Date Device Entity Message 04/30/13 10:55 PM bravo eth1 ifOperStatus: -> up 04/30/13 10:55 PM bravo eth1 ifAdminStatus: -> up 04/30/13 10:55 PM bravo eth0 ifOperStatus: -> up 04/30/13 10:55 PM bravo lo ifOperStatus: -> up 04/30/13 10:50 PM bravo eth1 ifOperStatus: up -> NULL 04/30/13 10:50 PM bravo eth1 ifAdminStatus: up -> NULL 04/30/13 10:50 PM bravo eth0 ifOperStatus: up -> NULL 04/30/13 10:50 PM bravo lo ifOperStatus: up -> NULL over and over in the event log? Weird part is, we have another server in here (this is the Linux, and one Windows for now) and it only happens to the Linux one.

Quick question on Brocade VLAN interfaces
by Aaron Mayfield 30 Apr '13

30 Apr '13

I'm running Brocade CER routers in my network at the moment. VLAN interfaces on Brocade are implemented as ve interfaces. Brocade for some reason decided not to implement interface counters for ve interfaces on the CES/CERs, so of course I don't get any utilization graphs for these interfaces. Is anyone out there running MLX or XMR? Out of morbid curiosity, do the VLAN interface octet/packet counters work on them? Thanks

Can't add first host
by Dan McGurk 30 Apr '13

30 Apr '13

I have tried twice now to set this up, unsuccessfully. I have followed the walk-through for Debian/ubuntu as best I can but still can't get anything to work. I shouldn't say anything. I DO get the webpage and can log in with the user I set-up in the walk-through via command. When I go to the "Add Device" page I get a webpage error at the bottom. I have copied and pasted it here: Webpage error details User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; Trident/4.0; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; SLCC2; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; .NET4.0C; Tablet PC 2.0; .NET4.0E) Timestamp: Tue, 30 Apr 2013 19:14:18 UTC Message: Expected identifier, string or number Line: 40 Char: 9 Code: 0 URI: http://xx.xx.233.26/addhost/ Message: Invalid character Line: 455 Char: 1 Code: 0 URI: http://xx.xx.233.26/addhost/ Also, when I go to the main page, underneath Devices and Ports..there is a red graphical rectangle with "Permission Denied x" Any ideas or thoughts would be much appreciated!

Linux agent port change
by Adam Armstrong 30 Apr '13

30 Apr '13

Hi All, I've just changed the default port for the agent from the check_mk port to a port matching our enterprise id, 36602. There's an example script in scripts/observium_agent_xinetd for xinetd. You can now just use the agent script from scripts/observium_agent. Put it into /usr/bin/observium_agent, as matching the xinetd file. Create a /usr/lib/observium_agent directory and a /usr/lib/observium_agent/local directory. Put the agent scripts you want to run in the local directly. To test it, use "telnet localhost 36602". We're still working on a method of keeping the agent up to date on clients :) For the time being the poller will check both the /new/ port and the original check_mk port, but this will be removed in the future. adam.

User interface access error
by ColoCenter bv 29 Apr '13

29 Apr '13

Hi all, I give my customers access to observium so they can view the traffic from my switch to their network through their port. This used to work great, but now users can't view their port anymore. I get some access denied errors. Giving access to a device still works, to a single interface not. I don't know since what version this bug exists, my customers don't check their traffic every day. Another issue is that in the "all devices" and "all ports" sections they can see all devices that are being monitored by observium, even if they don't have access to it. A small security issue here. Can these issues be fixed? First one has my priority, second one would be nice. Kind regards, -- Alexander Lantink ColoCenter bv http://www.colocenter.nl info(a)colocenter.nl

Hmm. Just recently someone tested this and these issues weren't there. I am thinking of stripping out the complex permissions system altogether. Adam.

This is all done in rrdtool, so purely graphical initially. It is possible to extract this kind of data from rrdtool in numerical form, but it's quite slow, certainly too slow to do in the poller. Also, I would say in this instance you would set a warning at 75%. Much easier :) Adam.
