Graph direct link changes when group membership changes
by Jesper Frank Nemholt 23 Feb '17

23 Feb '17

Hi! I'm using the direct link to graphs for a dashboard. Not sure this was the intended usage, but I found an issue that I think could be avoided related to this. It looks like graphs in this view are getting encoded IDs that somehow relate to the devices in the group, so the URL looks like this below. The issue is that when having lots of devices in a view, the id field gets really long and eventually will cause the graph creation to fail....however another and bigger issue is that it seems the id actually change when new devices are added (which happens during auto-discovery). Is there any way to fix the id to a numeric number like used with other graphs ? http://observium/graph.php?to=1487801959&id=WyIzMjE5MSIsIjMyNTE1IiwiMzMxNjM… /Jesper

Re: [Observium] Can't write new info to Observium

On 2017.02.22 14:00, observium-request(a)observium.org wrote: > Can't write new info to Observium Also, another problem we have noticed, I wonder if it's related to the caching update. When using device search (Devices->All Devices), then selecting hardware type (for example DES-1210-26/ME), we can find 8 devices from our network, that's ok. But we have updated the firmware version of this specific device, and when trying to do the same search in Observium, It can't find the device with updated firmware. And this happened with every device we upgraded. Quick search bar finds the device without any problems. Could this be related to the caching update? Thank you

all VMs Removed - why ?
by Thoralf Freitag 22 Feb '17

22 Feb '17

Hi, is there any idea, why observium has removed all VMs from the ESXi Server, like this: 1d 2h 3m Vm Virtual Machine deleted: vmware 564da96d-e3b0-b511-66cc-2a184a576652 1d 2h 3m Vm Virtual Machine deleted: vmware 564d8984-0864-6b78-7d91-36f2c13e53d6 1d 2h 3m Vm Virtual Machine deleted: vmware 564d4905-87d7-6fdf-bc72-753c916ef3c1 1d 2h 3m Vm Virtual Machine deleted: vmware 564d2060-e2e4-9949-97a6-28cb5f02e801 1d 2h 3m Vm Virtual Machine deleted: vmware 564d3421-27c8-04ea-7ef8-139af5ebcb5c 1d 2h 3m Vm Virtual Machine deleted: vmware 564d18eb-bad5-0691-7acf-3cb24787c0c1 1d 2h 3m Vm Virtual Machine deleted: vmware 564d523c-b392-e037-12e6-4c93b9dc82b1 1d 2h 3m Vm Virtual Machine deleted: vmware 564dc378-b321-2b72-176f-09c8fc5a1116 1d 2h 3m Vm Virtual Machine deleted: vmware 564db385-e361-5d0a-3167-d9a416357692 ... The tab for virtual machines no longer appears ... . There was no change at the ESXi. VMWARE-SYSTEM-MIB and VMWARE-VMINFO-MIB are enabled. I restarted the snmp agant at the ESXi host, run poller.php again , but it changes nothing. Thanks for any suggestions. lg. TF

Can't write new info to Observium
by Karolis Birgėla 22 Feb '17

22 Feb '17

Hello all, never happened to me before, but Obsevium acts strangely lately for me. When trying to add a new device via web, it sucessfully adds it, but it's page appears to be missing. It says something like 'You entered a device which does not exist' or something similar. What is more, when I want to manually change device's description on the web, it says 'Device record updated'. But the info that I've written has not appeared. What could have caused this? I don't remember doing any changes to my Observium server, except doing an update. Version 17.2.8364 (stable) Everything else works as it should. Thank you

ASR9k RAM Changes
by Robert Williams 22 Feb '17

22 Feb '17

Hi, Have there just been some changes to the ASR9k RAM detection? Suddenly after the overnight svn up we are seeing this for all 9k chassis: [cid:image001.png@01D28C23.56E5F220] These 3 new items are in alarm. The “reserved” and “image” are filtered from all other devices by existing config.php – but obviously no brackets on these ones. $config['ignore_mempool_string'][] = '(reserved)'; $config['ignore_mempool_string'][] = '(image)'; However, the ‘processor’ one is actually wrong as it seems to be using the CPU0 usage but a strange maximum of 3.81GB instead of 7.81GB. I can’t filter this out because it will drop all ‘processor’ types. I remember something historic relating to this where the maximums were showing as around 4GB even though there is 8GB installed and someone (Adam?) found and sorted it. This may or may not be related though. Cheers! Robert Williams Custodian Data Centre Email: Robert(a)CustodianDC.com http://www.CustodianDC.com

Alert regeneration via cli?
by Michael 22 Feb '17

22 Feb '17

Is there a way to regenerate the alerts from the cli? We have some checks that alert based on port state, dependent on conditions within a port description. But that matching is only performed during the alert regeneration, not during polling. So if the port description gets updated, the alert still triggers based on the old condition match... I'm thinking of running a regen via cron on a regular basis to try and minimise the false positives. Unless somebody has a better way to achieve a similar outcome? Thanks, Michael

Poller wrapper history graphs not updating
by Jesper Frank Nemholt 21 Feb '17

21 Feb '17

Hi! I have moved an instance from a physical server to a VM by moving over the database & RRD files + Observium $HOME. All works except one minor thing : The poller wrapper history (/pollerlog/ page) graphs do not update anymore. Also the RRD files do not update their timestamp since I moved the files to the new VM. The poller discovery/timing part of the same page does work properly, so it's only the top two graphs missing (or rather the graphs are there, but no new data is being added). Any idea why ? /Jesper

There’s currently work being done on redoing memory pools to ‘definitions’ – probably related.
