Qlogic Sanbox 5602 Support
by Christian Gerbrandt 24 Mar '14

24 Mar '14

Hi group, I was wondering about how to add support for a Qlogic Sanbox 5602 FC switch. >From all the info I gathered so far, it is using the Fibre Alliance MIB. I already added it to our Observium instalaltion, but I'm not able to get all information via SNMP. Only LAN ports are showing up, and some general infos are missing. Has anyone maybe started working on adding this device, or can tell me how to best add it? Many thanks, Christian

Hi Adam, I thought I had replied already, but I didn't see my message coming through, so I give it another try. I did import the devices table into the new system, run the discovery and copied the rrds. Everything worked perfectly.. However, I should have imported the ports table as well, because all ports id have changed and our integrated systems relying on those id's were in panic. We were running Debian Wheezy 3.2.46-1+deb7u1 x86_64 with PHP Version 5.4.4-14+deb7u8, Apache/2.2.22 and MySql 5.5.31 Thanks a lot for your help, our monitoring system is running again :) Cheers, Marco Met vriendelijke groet/ Kind regards, Marco Spicuglia Network engineer - Programmer ReasonNet B.V.

GeoLocation

21 Mar '14

Quick question... We are a small WISP and I am trying to add all the WAPs to the map... if I do something like this: $config['location_map']['VIE Office'] = "35.476475, -80.992856"; It looks perfect on the map, however under the location menu of course it shows these coordinates as well... Is there anyway to get the SysLocation to show in the location field, but the map display correctly? Or is this a pipe dream. ~JV

Session issues - automatically logged out frequently/instantly
by Chris Wopat 20 Mar '14

20 Mar '14

Hi list folks, I've had an issue with Observium since I *think* 4152 (http://fisheye.observium.org/changelog/Observium?cs=4152) where some authentication stuff was changed. Symptoms are once you log in, your next click may have your session already expired. As an example, I can log in, type something in the search bar, it may immediately report that the session is expired. If I simply leave the browser open on a page, it typically will just auto expire at some random period of time, all of which is under an hour. It appears to be very random so difficult to troubleshoot. This happens weather you choose to save your session or not. I've enabled PHP session debugging to write to files, contents of those seem fine. I've also cleared out `users_ckeys` table, no changes. I've also enabled php error logging in my apache config, but observium is overwritting this with ini_set all over the place which makes that somewhat futile. I've tested this on multiple systems, with built in auth and LDAP auth. Common denominator in this case is that my systems are FreeBSD, not Linux. Basically I'm checking if anyone else has encountered this at all, or if any other FreeBSD users are NOT having any issues. Info about my main observium install: FreeBSD 9.1 PHP+Modules 5.4.20 I've tested with PHP's APC on and off php Memory limit = 256 I've mentioned this with devs many times over the last 6 months, they effectively consider FreeBSD unsupported so don't really care. It all certainly worked perfectly prior to that auth update, nothing has changed on my systems since then except standard package updates. Thoughts? --Chris

KVM Virtual Machine Monitoring
by Lane Eckley 20 Mar '14

20 Mar '14

Hi Guys, Our purchase of the subscription version of Observium is pending, but meanwhile I am looking to see if anyone has been using the KVM virtual machine monitoring built into Observium. I am curious if Observium is pulling the CPU, RAM, etc. for the KVM virtual machines running on each of the hypervisors or if its only monitoring whether the virtual machine is powered on or not. I read over the documentation, but unfortunately was unable to get it working at all thus far and am assuming its due to the free version not supporting. Thanks in advance! -Lane

Problems with MIBS included with observium...
by Ricardo M Meleschi 20 Mar '14

20 Mar '14

Hello, Does anyone else see a large number of MIBs that cause errors when attempting to do snmp walks/gets? When I had the free version of Observium, I simply removed the offending MIBs from /opt/observium/mibs but since I have moved to the SVN version, this may become more of an annoyance since I will be updating frequently, and may actually need the MIBs as I find other uses for Observium. I'm getting many errors similar to this: Cannot find module (ZYXEL-MIB): At line 10 in /opt/observium/mibs/220AQV1C0-private However, in this case (and probably many others) ZYXEL-MIB exists just fine in /opt/observium/mibs/zyxel/ZYXEL-MIB. My snmp.conf is as follows: /opt/observium/mibs# cat /etc/snmp/snmp.conf # # As the snmp packages come without MIB files due to license reasons, loading # of MIBs is disabled by default. If you added the MIBs you can reenable # loaging them by commenting out the following line. #mibDirs +/sw/share/snmp/mibs:/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp:/opt/observium/mibs mibDirs +/opt/observium/mibs mibs all showMibErrors no I am sure I'm just missing something simple but it's escaping me at the moment. Thanks, Ricardo Meleschi

Broken jpgraph Images

20 Mar '14

I have never used the "billing" side of Observium even though I have been using several (subscription) instances of Observium for a while now. Today I wanted to play with the Billing features and followed the jpgraph install prompt, however the graphs appear as broken images. With the debug=1 flag I see the following: > $varsSELECT * FROM `devices_perms` WHERE `user_id` = '1' string(51) SELECT * FROM `ports_perms` WHERE `user_id` = '1' string(49) SELECT * FROM `bill_perms` WHERE `user_id` = '1' string(48) SELECT * from `bills` WHERE `bill_id`= '2' LIMIT 1 string(50) SELECT count(`delta`) FROM `bill_data` WHERE `bill_id` = '2' AND `timestamp` >= FROM_UNIXTIME( '1393653600' ) AND `timestamp` <= FROM_UNIXTIME( '1396328399' ) string(158) SELECT *, UNIX_TIMESTAMP(timestamp) AS formatted_date FROM bill_data WHERE bill_id = '2' AND `timestamp` >= FROM_UNIXTIME( '1393653600' ) AND `timestamp` <= FROM_UNIXTIME( '1396328399' ) ORDER BY timestamp ASC string(209) JpGraph Error: 25082 Illegal sizes specified for width or height when creating an image, (width=0, height=0) Thanks!

Cannot Login via Web Interface
by Luis Quintana 19 Mar '14

19 Mar '14

Not sure what direction to go with this. My instance of observium has been working great ever since I deployed it. A peer of mine decided to add hosts to the host file, and in doing so, somehow messed with something that does not allow us to log back in via web/gui. I can ssh to the device and have looked at every possible log in /var/log, but do not see anything that stands out. I also try to investigate the log while I attempt logging in via gui, and nothing is seen. I took a look at the install documentation to see if anything stands out there, that may lead me in the right direction but do not find anything, other than probably reinstalling which I am trying to avoid (i'll have to look at how to preserve current files, etc once reinstalling if i go down that road). Is there anything else that I can possibly look at to get a better direction and try to isolate this? I can't imagine him modifying the /etc/hosts file would affect logging into observium via the front end gui. Thanks for any help you guys can provide!

Web Session Expired
by Chip Pleasants 19 Mar '14

19 Mar '14

Hoping someone could point me in the right direction. When I click on the Temperature Under Health on the main heading I get a red "No Auth" on all the mini graphs. I also I see "Session Expired, Please Login Again!" when I roll over the device name on that same page. This happen every time I perform this action no matter if I have just logged in. This only happen for Temperature under the main heading. I don't see the behavior on any other graph. Even when I go into any device click Health and then Temperature I can see the graph and do not get the "No Auth". I am using ldap against AD for my authentication. I've looked at the apache logs and don't see any glaring issues. PHP and Apache should have defaults. I sess the sessions in /var/lib/php/session/ being created. Any suggestions on troubleshooting this odd behavior? Thanks in advance for any assistance. Thanks, Chip

Hi Marco, If you no longer trust your database, copy over the rrd folder, then run add_device.php for all your hosts. You could do this with a for loop if you extract the hostnames from your old devices table. That said, I doubt there will be much wrong with your devices table, your plan should work just as well. However, I'm quite intrigued as to what causes/d your issue. Tom Marco Spicuglia <Marco.Spicuglia(a)reasonnet.com> wrote: >Hi Adam, > > thanks for your reply.

Alerts

Is there a guide on how to best setup alerts for all devices? I found: http://www.observium.org/wiki/Alerting_Metrics_and_Attributes http://www.observium.org/wiki/Creating_an_Alert_Checker I want to set thresholds for DISK, RAM, CPU, UP/DOWN, and RX/TX Limits for all devices. Is there a particular Device Association or Entity Association I'm supposed to use? I figured I would set some general and then get specific with alerts by hostname for specific instances I want to monitor. -- Sincerely, Joshua Hopper, A+ CE Network Administrator [cid:image001.jpg@01CF4208.DDB37150] 420 3rd Ave NW Hickory NC 28601 Office: 828-449-1839x2160 | Cell: 828-855-7565 Protect Plus Air Holdings, LLC and Affiliates, Protect Plus, LLC and Affiliates, Imagine One Resources, LLC and Affiliates, Protect Plus Surfaces, LLC and Affiliates Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail is intended only for the addressee named above.

svn update not fully working (v0.14.2.5106)

Alert Emails
by Nicholas Schmidt 19 Mar '14

19 Mar '14

Ive followed the documentation but cannot get email alerting working. I see nothing in my mail log from Observium and other mailings on the system work without issue (RANCID, using the mail command from shell) so I believe it related to something I am doing wrong in Observium or PHP. It also looks as though whats in config.php.default doesn't match whats documented in the wiki. Ill gladly update it once I figure out which is correct. I am running Observium build 0.14.3.5112 on Debian 5.5.35-0 My config.php based on config.php.defaults , which differs slightly from http://www.observium.org/wiki/Configuration_Options#Alert_Settings $config['poller-wrapper']['alerter'] = TRUE; $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['descr'] = "Network Alert"; $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['type'] = "email"; $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['contact'] = "noc(a)mediamath.com"; $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['enable'] = TRUE; -Nick

Possible to ignore interfaces without description with the bad_if_ filter?
by Fredrik Korsbäck 18 Mar '14

18 Mar '14

Hello list. As the topic suggests. My enviroment somewhat relies on ports in the network having a interface description, graphing, billing, provisioning, rancid, and a few other stuffs gets activated whenever a description get set. I would like Observium to behave in such manner aswell - ive put up a feature request on this in Jira but now that ive read up abit more i realise that this could possible be achieved through the built-in filters. Has anyone built a smart regexp or something with the already available filters? We run a juniper-setup with alot of pretty beefy routers so there is about 600 interfaces on each machine, where i would like to graph at tops 100 of them, the 100 with a description :) And thanks for a great monitoring tool! Br, -- Fredrik Korsbäck

GeoLocation

Quick question... We are a small WISP and I am trying to add all the WAPs to the map... if I do something like this: $config['location_map']['VIE Office'] = "35.476475, -80.992856"; It looks perfect on the map, however under the location menu of course it shows these coordinates as well... Is there anyway to get the SysLocation to show in the location field, but the map display correctly? Or is this a pipe dream. ~JV

Getting billing data out of Observium via SQL

I'm looking to get the billing data out of observium for monthly executive reviews. For some reason the CIO wants it in Excel (boo.) What I'm interested in mostly are the Avg in, Avg out, 95th in and 95th out for each billed circuit on a monthly basis. If anyone has done this, please let me know how or if you have queries, I'd love to see them. Thanks! Best regards, Scott Brawner

Fortinet Support
by Ninja Data 14 Mar '14

14 Mar '14

I wanted to start by saying Observium is so awesome! I wish I would of found it sooner! So I'm trying to add my Fortinet firewalls to Observium. I see that I can add specific MIBs for Fortigates, but I didn't see the latest D series on the list. I'm not exactly sure how to add the Fortigates. I'm unable to create a DNS entry for the firewall, and I know it's dependent on DNS. I'm very new and not exactly sure how to go about this addon. Can anybody shed some light and point me in the right direction. Also, I read that if a custom MIB wasn't written for the device that one can donate. How do I go about doing that? I would love to see the latest Fortinets(and older of course) in Observium. Cheers,

device_ucd_load Graphs
by Daniel Knights 14 Mar '14

14 Mar '14

Hi, Hoping someone can help. Since upgrading to the latest version using the SVN the device_ucd_load graphs have stopped generating and are no longer displayed within Observium. We use an external website and link to these graphs so our clients can view the server load and it'd be handy to get them working again. Were they disabled/removed in the latest version? Is there any way to get them back? Thanks

FreeBSD Instalation
by Michel Braga Guimaraes 14 Mar '14

14 Mar '14

How, everyone. I'd like to know if someone there has Observium installed in a FreeBSD server. I have one Observium installed in a FreeBSD server, and other installed in a Ubuntu Server. The Ubuntu one works perfectly, but in my FreeBSD, there is no that Health tab, that shows me Processors information, Mempool information, Power information. That velocimeter icon,([image: Inline image 1]), doesn't shows up for me, I don't know if it can be some mib missing, but I don~t think so, cause I already installed net-snmp, I configured snmp.conf with snmpconf -i and etc... I don't know what else to do. Do someone there has a recipe, to make Observium works properly on FreeBSD?

Graphing used RAM from free command
by David Reagan 14 Mar '14

14 Mar '14

When looking at RAM usage, the number I've always cared the most about is the number from the "used" column and "-/+ buffers/cache" row when I run the "free" command. Like: # free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 16389700 15802892 586808 0 622824 3345472 -/+ buffers/cache: 11834596 4555104 Swap: 4089852 51536 4038316 I don't see any graph that looks like it contains that information. I see the memory pool graph, but it show much higher usage that I actually have because of how Linux manages RAM. So, any thoughts on how I could get Observium to graph what I want? Thanks!

Smokeping tab gone on holiday
by Robert Williams 12 Mar '14

12 Mar '14

Hi – our Smokeping tab has vanished mysteriously. Not sure exactly when but definitely within the last week. The setting is still there: $config['smokeping']['dir'] = "/var/lib/smokeping/"; Plus the script which auto-generates the Targets file with the correct formatting is still there also and running ok (extract below): echo "*** Targets ***\n\nprobe = FPing\n\nmenu = Top\ntitle = Network Latency Grapher\nremark = Welcome to SmokePing\n\n"; $query = mysql_query("SELECT hostname FROM `devices` WHERE `ignore`=0 AND `disabled`=0 ORDER BY hostname"); while ($data = mysql_fetch_array($query)) { $hostid = str_replace(".","_",$data['hostname']); $hostname = $data['hostname']; echo "+ $hostid\n\nhost = $hostname\n\n"; } Making hosts that look like: + sw-msl-pab-52_mastv_local host = sw-msl-pab-52.mastv.local So the targets file itself looks good and the Smokeping site is running fine if you browse it directly. The RRDs are all in /var/lib/smokeping/ and we are SVN up’ing daily. Host names are unchanged and it has been working fine for over a year so I’m lost as to why it would disappear now. It’s gone for all hosts as far as I can tell? I have no idea how to debug it as it’s not a poller / discovery thing, so any pointers as to what might be broken please?

Billing Module and Bill Date
by Chris Bissell 12 Mar '14

12 Mar '14

I had a question on how the Bill Date is implemented. Currently we have it set to 1 as our normal billing cycle is the 1st through last day of the month. However the process of getting the API data from Observium and getting that data into our Billing system is a manual process. The API data I'm getting is from the 'type=list' format which doesn't appear to accept start and end dates. I'd like to use this API call simply because it has the billing value of 95th already calculated per bill. My question is if our billing system makes that API call on April 3rd, what data does it get? Does it get the last full month from March 1st through 31st, or is it getting the data from April 1st through April 3rd? -- Chris Bissell - CTO FRII - 970.212.0723 cbissell(a)frii.net

Prevent creation of RRD files on ignored/disabled ports
by Remco Bressers 12 Mar '14

12 Mar '14

I'm running Observium on a fairly large network with a few Cisco 7200's running 1000+ subinterfaces and 1000+ virtual-access interfaces. These interfaces are ignored with the "bad_if_regexp" configuration variable in config.php but RRD files are still generated and the "device total traffic" graph takes ages to generate which is not optimal. The RRD files are using lot's of diskspace and we're really only interested in uplinks instead of customer interfaces. Is there a way to prevent interfaces in the bad_if or bad_if_regexp to be polled altogether without writing RRD files? Kind regards, Remco Bressers Signet B.V.

traffic 0bps / 0pps
by Gregory Storme 11 Mar '14

11 Mar '14

Hi, I'm running Observium 0.14.3.5094 on Debian 7, followed the installation guide. The problem is that the traffic, displayed under the ports overview, is 0bps / 0pps. When hovering over that port, or clicking on it, the graphs do display the traffic correctly. Some devices their ports do display the traffic number as well, but the majority doesn't. I can't figure out why the traffic on some ports is displayed correct, while it's not on all the others. I don't think it's not a problem on the devices being polled, because I'm running 2 observium versions for testing purposes (0.13.10.4585 & 0.14.3.5094), and on v13 the traffic for device X is displayed correctly, while on v14 the traffic for that device is 0bps/0pps on all ports (graphs work fine). And the other way around for device Y. These are Cisco and Juniper devices being polled. All the graphs work fine. I have attached these screenshots to clarify what I mean: The port graphs:

Host down and up every 5 min.
by Joarli Leandro [INITNET] 10 Mar '14

Good morning, I have a problem I can not solve. I have two installations of observium, CE and SUBSCRIPTION, on 2 different servers. My hosts are all down , 5 minutes after up. In both servers. When I go to check, no host had fallen, and neither appears in the logs instability. I installed another server, running only the SNMP and a dedicated link, and even then it falls and rises in 5 minutes. What can it be? All three devices are dedicated to Observium, 1 physical machine, and another virtual. The client host only with SNMP are physical. All in 3 diferents Datacenter.

Someone has an idea? a tweak? **************************************************************************************************************** nagios-plugins-snmp-1.4.15-2.el6.x86_64 net-snmp-libs-5.5-49.el6.x86_64 net-snmp-5.5-49.el6.x86_64 net-snmp-utils-5.5-49.el6.x86_64 10:57:04 AM Linux 2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Nov 22 03:15:09 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux **************************************************************************************************************** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /dev/md4 73T 35M 73T 1% /brick0 /dev/md9 73T 35M 73T 1% /brick1 /dev/md10 73T 35M 73T 1% /brick2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Beruben Daniel

smokeping graphs in observium (loss of information)
by Martin Smith 06 Mar '14

Hello, I have a quick question about Smokeping integration with Observium. It's working but the graphs are displayed with less information. Is it possible for Observium to display the graphs in the same fashion as native Smokeping? For example, smoke goes "up" from the baseline, packet loss displayed in a different color according to percent loss.

I didn't change anything on my observium server, I got no traffic since I added these servers. ls -l /opt/observium/rrd/s29.inter.net/port-* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1739144 mars 6 11:00 /opt/observium/rrd/ s29.inter.net/port-1.rrd -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1739144 mars 6 11:00 /opt/observium/rrd/ s29.inter.net/port-2.rrd -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1739144 mars 6 11:00 /opt/observium/rrd/ s29.inter.net/port-3.rrd -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1739144 mars 6 11:00 /opt/observium/rrd/ s29.inter.net/port-4.rrd -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1739144 mars 6 11:00 /opt/observium/rrd/ s29.inter.net/port-5.rrd -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1739144 mars 6 11:00 /opt/observium/rrd/ s29.inter.net/port-6.rrd -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1739144 mars 6 11:00 /opt/observium/rrd/ s29.inter.net/port-7.rrd I added my poller output with debug option.
