Strange poller/graph behavior with Palo Alto
by Aaron Finney 13 Oct '19

13 Oct '19

Heya Adam et al, I'm trying to help the corp side of the house monitor a handful of Palo Alto firewalls (3220s/850s) using Observium, and am seeing the gptunnels and sessions graphs being alternately added/deleted each run. Example: ##### firewall.spaghetti.foo.baz [55] completed poller modules at > 2019-10-13 09:07:03 ##### > o Graphs [checked] availability, ping, ping_snmp, uptime, fanspeed, > temperature, processor, mempool, storage, bits, hr_users, poller_perf, > pollersnmp_count,pollersnmp_times, > pollersnmp_errors_count, pollersnmp_errors_times, pollerdb_count, > pollerdb_times,pollermemory_perf > o Graphs [added] panos_sessions, panos_gptunnels > o Poller time 5.6106 seconds > o Updated Data uptime, last_polled, last_polled_timetaken, > device_state and the very next run: ##### firewall.spaghetti.foo.baz [55] completed poller modules at > 2019-10-13 09:07:31 ##### > o Graphs [deleted] panos_sessions, panos_gptunnels > o Graphs [checked] availability, ping, ping_snmp, uptime, fanspeed, > temperature, processor, mempool, storage, bits, hr_users, poller_perf, > pollersnmp_count,pollersnmp_times, > pollersnmp_errors_count, pollersnmp_errors_times, pollerdb_count, > pollerdb_times,pollermemory_perf > o Poller time 5.6037 seconds > o Updated Data uptime, last_polled, last_polled_timetaken, > device_state This pattern repeats ad inifitum - any ideas?

Alerting on custom application values
by Phillip Weller 11 Oct '19

11 Oct '19

Greetings All, Can you set an alert on a value imported from a custom application? E.g, if I’m tracking the %CPU and %Memory of a specific application on a linux host, can I set an alert check on something like cpu greater 50? All graphs are working fine. I know the values are being received by Observium. But its not clear to me what the entity, or even the entity type, would be. Thanks! Regards, Phil Weller

Changing graph colours to improve readability
by Chris Tomkins 11 Oct '19

11 Oct '19

Hi, I sent this to the list last week but I'm 99% sure it bounced. Apologies if anyone has already seen it. ---- I'm just wondering, has anyone dabbled with getting rrdtool to use more contrasting colours for composite graphs? We have some graphs, such as peering graphs, that are made up of 15+ components, and each component is currently a nearly identical shade of green or purple, which means that even with the legend enabled it is very difficult to see which component is which. I'm imagining that instead of using shades of green, you could use a rainbow of very distinctly different colours and readability would improve. I'm interested to hear whether anyone has tried to do this before, or if it's a non-starter for some reason.

hdarray script enhancement
by Attila Nagy 09 Oct '19

09 Oct '19

Hi everyone! We would like to slightly enhance the Unix agent hdarray script (which provides infos about the local RAID controllers). Actually we would like to add support for some HP controllers, but to make things simpler we would need some nice output from the script. So if some of you have some RAID controllers supported by this script would you mind sharing some output of this script? Thanks, Tylla

Saving changes to a large number of sensors
by Robert Williams 07 Oct '19

07 Oct '19

Hi, It seems that on a couple of Cisco ASR9k devices (with exceptionally large counts of sensors) we are now unable to save changes to them. Specifically, setting custom values and enabling or disabling alerts for individual sensors. Now, I remember that during Observium setup (a _long_ time ago) there was a step for amending either PHP or MySQL to allow a very long POST or query or something, which is required when you update a page with hundreds of boxes and buttons on it. I’m assuming either these devices have grown to the point where this setting is no longer adequately large, or perhaps the setting on the server has been inadvertently changed. Either way – I literally cannot remember (or find) the damn setting anywhere. Can someone remind me what it is please? Thanks! Robert Williams Custodian Data Centres https://www.CustodianDC.com
