IPMI discrete unit sensors
by Karl-André Skevik 22 Mar '22

22 Mar '22

Hello, We have several machines with IPMI configured in observium. Some of these machines have had hardware failures, such as power supply or disk failures, and we can see the failure status when polling the machines via ipmitool, but there are no warnings reported by observium. The unit of these sensor values is "discrete". Does observium support this type of sensor, and if so, is it possible to configure observium to warn about failures in these sensors? Regards,

Hallo, I have Rancid integrated into Observium but as it is, not all the devices have the config tab. Additionally, those with the config tab do not update the configs as set. I'd appreciate your help. I followed the documentation below: RANCID Integration - Observium<https://docs.observium.org/rancid/> Regards, Joyce

restarting snmp service on windows server flags the server as down in observium
by Tony Guadagno 21 Mar '22

21 Mar '22

Hi, I have an alert that says if the device_uptime is less than 360, alert that the server was down. I happened to restart the snmp service on several of my servers and was surprised to find the alert triggered. I am guessing that when snmp restarts, the uptime counter goes to zero? Is there any way to get a true read of the uptime? I am trying to alert if the server rebooted within the poling window. thanks Tony

Question BGP peers in VRF
by Sandoiu Mihai 18 Mar '22

18 Mar '22

Hi I am evaluating Observium for reading the number of received bgp routes on ASR9000 routers. I have successfully discovered one of our testrouters and I can see the bgp peers in the liste. However it only detects the vpnv4/vpnv6 bgp peers. It does not detect the bgp peers inside vrfs. Is there any possibility to do so? Apparently they should be read in CISCO-BGP4-MIB Regards Mihai

VLANs UI question
by Adam Thompson 08 Mar '22

08 Mar '22

I’m using the top-level VLANs view to help identify VLANs we can remove, and it’s remarkably helpful, at least as a starting point. This view identifies that I have, for example, 2 untagged ports on VLAN 6… which is great, but how do I see *which ports* those are? I haven’t been able to find anything I can click on that reveals the port names/numbers, or even which device they’re on. Beyond that, how is it possible to have 2 untagged ports on 0 (zero) devices, in the first place? While we’re at it, in <hostname>/vlan/vlan_id=XYZ/ page, why are the labels “Devices”, “Tagged Ports”, “Untagged Ports” and “MACs” in the banner clickable if they don’t do anything? Help? I’m assuming I’m missing something here. -Adam Adam Thompson Consultant, Infrastructure Services [MERLIN] 100 - 135 Innovation Drive Winnipeg, MB, R3T 6A8 (204) 977-6824 or 1-800-430-6404 (MB only) athompson(a)merlin.mb.ca<mailto:athompson@merlin.mb.ca> www.merlin.mb.ca<http://www.merlin.mb.ca/>

User device permissions cleared after upgrade?
by Stempien, Dave 02 Mar '22

I can’t say for certain but I recently upgraded from 21.12.11831 (stable) -> 22.2.11898 (stable) and all of our user accounts that had specific device permissions seem to have lost those entries. Is there anything in the upgrade that may have overwritten or otherwise caused those permissions to disappear?

Any changes to Mikrotik's MIB ?

Hi Guys, About 8 hours ago an auto update was applied to a Observium box and following this the CPU graph is gone: This is the only change that I can think of so can someone please confirm this ? A rediscover of the host does “run” the Mikrotik MIB against it but it still fails to find the CPU oids Thanks !

Hi Observium team: We are trying to follow the “Config Option” under: https://docs.observium.org/config_options/ to change the Observium GUI port from default 80 to 8000, by updating “config.php” to: // Change web interface port setting $config['base_url'] = "http://".$_SERVER["observium.abc.com"].":".$_SERVER["8000"]; But it doesn’t work even after reloading apache2. Any suggestion how to make it right? Thanks. - Gordon

Re: [Observium] LDAP auth to MS AD with TLS Self Signed Cert
by Tony Guadagno 17 Feb '22

17 Feb '22

Adam, I finally got this working. I have written up a quick guide to making this work, would it be possible for you to put this in your documentation page for LDAP Authentication? I am sure I will loose it if it is not somewhere obvious Directions for enabling LDAP with TLS when connecting to an LDAP server with a self signed certificate or a CA that the Observium server does not recognize Assumptions: you have already enabled SSL/TLS for ldap on your Microsoft Domain Controller (or other LDAP server) Observium is installed on a Fedora flavor of Linux version 7 or 8 (this might work with Ubuntu but i am not sure the commands are the same) Observium is configured for LDAP AND TLS per the authentication documentation page On the Observium server: yum install php-ldap vim /etc/openldap/ldap.conf make sure these 2 config options are commented out #TLS_CACERTDIR /etc/openldap/certs #TLS_CACERT /etc/openldap/certs/cert.crt Add/Change this config option to either hard or allow TLS_REQCERT hard “hard” means that the LDAP server MUST present a cert and the cert must be trustworthy OR in the trusted cert store (this is the more secure method) “allow” mean that the LDAP server MUST present a cert and the cert can be anything...valid or invalid setting to “hard” is better because it prevents an imposter from stealing the ip address of the LDAP server and intercepting the messages from Observium If you are setting TLS_REQCERT to “hard” then take these additional steps: export the LDAP server cert in b64 format with NO KEY place cert of LDAP server in ‘/etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors’ folder run ‘update-ca-trust’ as root Tony From: Adam Armstrong via observium<mailto:observium@observium.org> Sent: Wednesday, February 16, 2022 7:29 PM To: 'Observium'<mailto:observium@observium.org> Cc: Adam Armstrong<mailto:adama@observium.org> Subject: Re: [Observium] LDAP auth to MS AD with TLS Self Signed Cert I’ve never used LDAP, so I’m not really sure how this should be done. You can put the putenv stuff in config.php. So long as the variable is set before LDAP tries to start the connection that should be sufficient. Observium doesn’t have any configuration related to this itself. You just need to coax whatever conglomeration of PHP and OpenLDAP code exists into talking to your LDAP server. You might be able to turn of the cert checking by putting “TLS_REQCERT never” into ldap.conf, probably /etc/openldap/ldap.conf or somewhere similar. Adam.

Alert dependency
by Toky ANDRIANASOLO 09 Feb '22

09 Feb '22

Hello, Is it possible to set an alert dependency on observium? for example if there are 04 devices on the network: 01 router and 03 cascading switches.. If the router goes down, we do not need the 03 switches sending an alert anymore as they depends on the router. This will save us from flooding alert and make the alerting system more efficient. Thank You and Regards, Toky,

alert sensibility setting

Hello, we are setting an alert based on device status metric, so if the device status is 0 (down), an alert will be sent to a group of mail destination.. Now we want to adjust the alert sensibility of observium in order to sent the mail if the device is down for 10 mn, in other words, if the device is down then up after 8mn for example, we don't want to be alerted. Thank you and Regads, Toky

poller overwrites manual sensor limits
by Joey Stanford 05 Feb '22

05 Feb '22

Hi, We’ve disabled service discovery in order to zero in on why custom sensor limits are being overwritten. As far as we can ascertain, it appears that the poller is doing this but we’re not sure when/how since it doesn’t reset on every poll. It’s so transient that we’re finding it very difficult to identify the actual culprit. Can anyone offer tips on how we can debug this further? Thanks, Joey

Sending device status to external status page

Hi, Ideas wanted. As a service provider, I want to expose basic up/down status to my consumers, So they can self-discover if a portion of the network in their area is affected. In my case, I have emergency communication systems and I would love to make some of these visible in an up/down fashion to people. A status page or uptime robot basic presentation. Any ideas on how I might do this? Joey

All graphs stopped at Jan 1st 00:00
by Richard Waardijk 26 Jan '22

26 Jan '22

Hi, I did not notice it earlier but somehow all graphs stopped on Jan 1st 00:00 ? Doesn't matter for which device I look or at what type of graph. The graphs look like this: [cid:image003.png@01D81120.552DF310] [cid:image004.png@01D81120.552DF310] Does anyone have seen this before? I haven't made changes to the Observium installation recently. I only updated the OS where Observium is running (was running on an old Ubuntu 16.02 version and is now upgrades to Ubuntu 20.04). But that was done in week 50 (the week of Dec 13th) and after that the graphs still worked. So strange that it exactly stopped at midnight of the new year? [cid:image005.png@01D81120.552DF310] If anybody got tips how to get this working again please let me know. Thank you, Richard

Arista VARP IP addresses not being discovered?
by Adam Thompson 31 Dec '21

31 Dec '21

We’ve noticed that although Observium picks up the VRRPv3 virtual IP addresses on our Cisco NX-OS switches, it does not detect or capture the VARP virtual IP addresses on our Arista EOS switches. Is that expected behaviour? If so, what information do you need to change Observium so that it can detect VARP IPs and display them on the appropriate interfaces? If not, what debug output should I be looking at – discovery? Polling? Which section? Thanks, -Adam Adam Thompson Consultant, Infrastructure Services [MERLIN] 100 - 135 Innovation Drive Winnipeg, MB, R3T 6A8 (204) 977-6824 or 1-800-430-6404 (MB only) athompson(a)merlin.mb.ca<mailto:athompson@merlin.mb.ca> www.merlin.mb.ca<http://www.merlin.mb.ca/>

Alerting feature request
by Joey Stanford 30 Dec '21

30 Dec '21

From my colleagues: > > What we would REALLY like is the ability to turn off alerts on a particular device for a specified amount of time. For example, when Winter Park goes flakey but it is really Comcast or Centurylink that need to fix the problem, I don't want alerts every 10 minutes to tell me the link still sucks. > > There are several possible solutions to this. One is a manual "suppress alerts for X hours". It is important that the alerts be turned back on after the specified time because otherwise we tend to forget to turn it back on. > > Another option is a rate limit on alerts by device. After 5 alerts I probably figured out the link sucks. > > A third option is a "delay on recover". Right now we get a recover as soon as one check passes. If it is flakey we may want to have more checks pass before declaring it recovered. This would probably be something we want to do by device, because from most I want to know as soon as it is back.

We try to make observium discoveries about the correct type "power" and vendor "huawei" to get the power information, like load, AC entry, baterya load, and so on... We was fight with this equipment more 1 year and can't make running =( We flap the "loss flag" and ask for help for anyone who can help us.

Hi guys, has anyone integrated Observium with Grafana to create dashboards? I don’t know the structure of the DB in observium and have been doing some test with no luck on the results, so any examples will be really appreciated. Regard,s Luis
