Alert checker for device down
by Erik INGEBERG 02 May '14

02 May '14

Hi, Is there a way for using the new alerting system to send an e-mail when a device goes down? I see in the wiki that there is a "device_status" metric, but I can't figure out how to use it. There is no "Device" entity type when I try to make a new alert checker. Is this feature still in development? Erik

Hi, I get a "Error Drawing Graph" for Port Error graphs when rolling over or going into the graph. I see a error looking at the rrdtool information. "RRDTool Output: ERROR: Not a valid vname: totinB0 in line GPRINT:totinB0:%6.2lf%sB ". I'd really appreciate if anyone could help me fix this or provide some information.

Strange temperature and voltage readings
by Matthew A Harper 01 May '14

01 May '14

Hi Guys, First time posting - Be gentle ;) I've recently implemented Observium for our department and am absolutely loving it. However after an update this morning I have noticed that some devices are reporting weird readings for their sensors. Temperature and voltage specifically are reporting absurd variables (2209 degrees CPU temp / 1.45KV on a 1.2V rail). http://i.imgur.com/MG5NBA8.png - Random sample of temperature http://i.imgur.com/u8Emr3J.png - Random sample of voltage This issue seems to affect CISCO hardware but does not seem to be specific to a particular model or software revision and has only occurred since the DB Schema was updated this morning. Is anyone else seeing similar results with version 5405? Oh and yes, I confirmed these devices are not on fire or being struck by lightning. :) Regards, Matt. *********************************************************************** WARNING: This email (including any attachments) may contain legally privileged, confidential or private information and may be protected by copyright.

2 things with alerting
by Bastiaan Topper 30 Apr '14

30 Apr '14

Hi, We have 2 strange things with the alerting system since a few days. - 1. The frontpage displays ports up/down, even when the alerting for that port is disabled in the device settings. Is this normal? Because this wasn't till a few days ago. [cid:image001.png@01CF5ED2.3C5BB560] [cid:image002.png@01CF5ED2.3C5BB560] - 2. Some alert checks worked fine for months, but now they fail. (I only have the database output, because the http://observium/alert_checks/ links returns a blank page, maybe because the result is too big?): [cid:image003.png@01CF5ED2.7A406F60] I attached the debug poll of one of the devices. The polling debug output returns: Checking alert 4 associated by 4 replaced @sensor_limit with 5.92 from entity. Testing: sensor_value greater 5.92 (value: 5.187) FAIL replaced @sensor_limit_low with 4.37 from entity. Testing: sensor_value less 4.37 (value: 5.187) OK Checks failed. Generate alert. What I expect (and what it did for the last months) this alert rule to do, is to fail when the sensor value is not between the threshold ranges. It looks like it is only for the voltage and current sensors. [cid:image004.png@01CF5ED4.23531980] When I check the settings and alerting thresholds, they look fine to me. [cid:image005.png@01CF5ED4.23531980] Am I doing something wrong? Or is this some kind of bug? Thanks and regards, Bastiaan Topper

Billing - Circuit ID on main page
by Tim Calvin 29 Apr '14

29 Apr '14

My question is in regards to the blue circle with the "i" located on the main billing page. This used to display the circuit ID when you hover the mouse over this icon. Noticed it hasn't been working for me for quite some time. Not sure what revision it stopped. It was very helpful as we have several customers with multiple circuits so now I have to click on each one until I find the circuit ID I am interested in. If there is a way to get this feature re-added then I would greatly appreciate it. If adding it back is complex due to recent code changes then I understand that as well. Just wanted to check. Thanks, Tim Calvin Texas Lone Star Network

renamed block devices
by Tony Lill 28 Apr '14

28 Apr '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Observium CE 0.13.10.4585 doesn't seem to handle renamed block devices very gracefully. I added some disks to one of my boxes, which caused the old sda and sdb to come up as sdb and sdd. Now on the disk i/o page some devices are missing, some appear twice, most are displaying incorrect info. I've attached the contents of the ucd_diskio table. sdc and it's partitions are missing and a number of the others are duplicated. How do I clear up this mess?

Device Traffic Overview Graph Legend
by Jake Turner 26 Apr '14

26 Apr '14

Hi all, Just in case anybody else has spotted this and wants to fix it. The problem I was seeing (in the community edition at least) was that when ‘Show Legend’ was clicked on the Device Bits Graph page, the interface names would only have 10 characters as the image below shows: [cid:4474A50E-FFD7-439C-B557-8AB5663E872B@turnerhouse.local] With Cisco devices this renders the legend pretty useless as almost all the interfaces have FastEthernet/GigabitEthernet/TenGig etc. in front of the interface number. To fix this the file /html/includes/graphs/generic_multi_separated.inc.php needs to be modified. Lines 28 & 29 just need more space: $rrd_options .= " COMMENT:'$units_descr Cur Avg Max'"; if (!$nototal) { $rrd_options .= " COMMENT:' Total'"; } Line 81 will have the number 10 after the comma on rrdtool_escape: ($rrd['descr'], 10). This basically strips the interface to that length. In order for the interfaces on my 6500 to show nicely I changed this number to be 25: rrdtool_escape($rrd['descr'], 25). If you decide to go for a different number you should modify lines 28 & 29 too to make sure the ‘Cur, Avg, Max and Total’ headers are in line with the stats below. Then you just need to change for the ‘outbits' as well: substr(str_pad('', 25),0,25). The graph will/should then display like the below. Much more useful :) [cid:937DFBEE-EE5A-4F3E-8B38-AE6466900BE5@turnerhouse.local] An alternative would be to use ifName rather than ifDescr but I can’t be bothered to figure out how to do that.

Failover interface monitoring
by Gregoire Tourres 25 Apr '14

25 Apr '14

Hello Observium team I am monitoring different kind of devices (linux / windows / cisco) through my Observium. Everything work fine except for some Windows server 2012 network interfaces : the failover interfaces. Microsoft uses some kind of interface to supply a failover service (2 servers of the same kind speaks a special black protocol to monitor themself). >From the Windows Server, interfaces are "Microsoft failover cluster virtual adapter". >From Observium, they are seen as ethernet device and as tunnel device. Observium always seens some packet loss on these interfaces (however, there are no packet loss in the network, even with huge stress). So ... it keeps alerting for packet loss. You would say "turn monitoring or alerting off on these interfaces". Well .. that what I did : But I keep getting some alert in the eventlogs : The others real interfaces on the server work fine (good monitoring, no loss, no alerting). I am only having the problem on these kind of interfaces. Why does Observium always see packet loss on these interface ? Why does Observium do not stop alerting when I tell him to ? Thanks for answer! Greg

VM and Observium
by Luis Quintana 25 Apr '14

So, is anyone experiencing any issues running on observium on a vm? I submitted an email a month or two ago about some issues we were seeing, and i decided to reinstall observium from scratch. Currently i am seeing the same issues, whereby it "appears" that connectivity drops or isnt captured randomly. it's not across one device, but all. i am wondering if maybe i didnt build the vm appropriately or we really are having a network type issue. ive looked at the network but maybe i am overlooking something. anything on the vm side that maybe i can look at? i am running ubuntu 13.04 and the latest observium code as of yesterday.

Brocade MLXe and ICX support / question
by Swen Veckes (KDDI) 25 Apr '14

25 Apr '14

Hi, we use a couple of MLXe’s and ICX’s which seem fine at the first place running observium’s subscriber edition. However, a few part seems not working correctly: + MLXE’s - Memory shown as -1 on the device main page and has no graphs „nan“ at all - Memorypool usage graphs show -nan - Observium recognizes the installed Line card CPU but report 100% CPU on another machine adder 3 month earlier it reports OK - VLAN’s are reported fine, however, on the VLAN tab only untagged vlan1 (default vlan) has port associated with it, others are empt + ICX’s - CPU reported 100% all time, but same switch installed earlier shows fine - Compared to the MLXe it does not show LAG interfaces Any hints on the the graphing which works for one device but another added later does not as well for the memory? I Don’t hink that observium suddenly broke the support for this, as it is still working for the other devices (exactly the same device). What do I need to provide to help fixing the other things such as the LAG display for the ICX or others and to get more current Brocade device support? Cheers, Swen

Adding MIB after a device...
by Boardman, Nick 24 Apr '14

24 Apr '14

Good afternoon, I added an Eaton ePDU (sensor), and obviously it is showing up as Generic. I meant to upload the MIB prior but forgot. Any chance that after a few pollings it will auto-associate? If not, can it be linked manually? I looked under the Sensors Properties while attempting to edit the device but it looks like a no go. Or, since the MIB is now uploaded is it easier to delete the device and then manually re-add it? Thanks in advance any help you can offer.

We still need to write code to understand the MIB and collect data from it. We do support other devices by this manufacturer, so I'm not sure exactly why it doesn't work, Tom might, though. adam.

Aggregate graphs for Peering Ports
by Tim Calvin 22 Apr '14

22 Apr '14

I was curious if there was a way to group together Peering ports in a way that it shows an aggregate graph similar to how Customer ports are handled. On the customer ports page, I can see an aggregate graph of all a particular customers circuits. It seems all I have to do here is make sure they are named the same. We have a few peering circuits to one entity and it would be nice to have that same behavior. I have them named the same but on the peering page the two circuits are shown individually with no aggregate totals. Just wondering if there was some type of configurable option to enable this or not. Let me know if I need to provide anymore info. Hopefully that makes sense. Thanks, Tim Calvin Texas Lone Star Network

Frontpage Map Zoom
by Johnson, Edward A. 22 Apr '14

22 Apr '14

All of our devices are located within the state of Indiana. On the frontpage the map zooms from Utah to Nova Scotia with Indiana in the middle. Of course I can manually zoom in as far as I need but would like the default to zoom 1x more so I can see the entire state of indiana from north to south. Is there a setting in config.php that will let me do that?

After much debugging, tweaking the code and playing around with timestamp to epoch functions I’ve finally managed to get this working and it seems to be pretty accurate (for the Cisco devices at least). Thanks for your help Jake Turner [cid:94259173-8184-4F71-8163-56004829AE3C@turnerhouse.local] I am running 0.13.10 (rev. 4585) so yes, a pretty old version.

I see what you’re saying when it comes to providing the most compatibility with all the different vendors as they probably report it slightly different (or not at all) and so updating it with 'on update CURRENT_TIMESTAMP’ ensures that you’ll always have something there. I only have Cisco devices though so it’s not too much of a problem. Thanks, I’ll do some more digging tomorrow, need to sleep now!

This should use the port's ifLastChanged if it exists, else it'll use the current polling time. At some point we decided it was totally unrealiable and decided to track it ourselves by having the database update the value when the port configuration in the database changed. It sounds more like you'd want the "down since" number calculation changed to include the total time that the alert wasn't up (or unknown). adam.

graphs for power usage on Tripplite PDUMH30ATNET
by Jeff Courtade 21 Apr '14

21 Apr '14

Hello, I have successfully added in a Tripplite PDUMH30ATNET. It successfully detects and uses the OPS mib when it sets up and has a nice little tripplite icon. The only thing it seems to be graphing is the Ethernet traffic on the one ethernet interface on the device. What I want to see graphs of are the power usage on each of the power outlets and inputs. Any help would be appreciated. -- Thanks, Jeff Courtade Director of Systems Engineering Adjuggler Inc http://www.adjuggler.com M: 240.507.6116

Map issue
by Johnathon Voegeli 19 Apr '14

19 Apr '14

Does anyone know how to fix this? All the SysLocation fields are identical, but when they go on the map it places 2 blips a few miles a part. This is on all of my locations. I suspect its an easy fix to blow that part of the database away and let it reload them. I believe it started happening when the map updated the last time.

Port 'Last Changed' visibility
by Jake Turner 19 Apr '14

19 Apr '14

Hi all, I can't seem to see this feature on the port details page or the 'all ports' list but forgive me if it is visible somewhere. It would be useful to have a 'last changed' time (30 mins ago) etc... on the port details page. This info can be gained from SNMP and from what I can see is already in the DB so it would just be a case of adding it to the page code. Thanks Jake
