SVN Errors - Paid Subscription
by Jason Ross 03 Dec '13

03 Dec '13

My apologies if this has been answered, but I searched and did not find the answer in the archives or the documentation. I'm also a Windows admin and not nearly as familiar with linux or the apache web server so I've been fumbling around the internet quite a bit to get this going. Ubuntu 13.04 Observium Revision 13.10.4585 Followed Ubuntu Installation page exactly. Most everything is working thus far, but from what I've found online, at least one of the items that isn't working was fixed in later versions. I paid the subscription and submitted a username / password hash. After receiving the confirmation email from Adam I tried to use the "svn checkout http://svn.observium.org/svn/observium/trunk/ observium" command to download the latest version. However, I get a couple error messages and I'm wondering if I need to configure the svn client before it will work. Or I may even be entering the username / password incorrectly? Below is the error messages that I receive whether I use an incorrect username/password combo or the one I submitted. "svn: E175002: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'http://svn.observium.org/svn/observium/trunk' " and "svn: E175002 OPTIONS of 'http://svn.observium.org/svn/obserium/trunk' : could not read status line: connection was closed by server (http://svn.observium.org)" Thanks guys, love the product so far!

Updating from before the subscription scheme
by James Bensley 03 Dec '13

03 Dec '13

Hi All, I want to update my Observium install for which I would normally run `svn update` however I haven't updated since the subscription scheme was initiated. Firstly, I'm happy with the subscription option, it's a worthy cause so I will be paying my 100 squid tomorrow or the day after. In the mean though if I run `svn update` now (I'm in a rush to update), will I just hit an svn authentication error and it won't update, or will it update then shit the bed? I don't want to fuck my perfectly happy instance of Observium and the funds aren't mine for a couple of days until the higher ups give it to me. I'm happy to wait though. Cheers, James.

Hi, We having problems with 95% billing with 2 ports. The graphs are just fine but the 95% percentile value keeps being 0 bpps. billing-calculate.php shows: 12/01/13 @ 00:00:00 to 12/31/13 @ 23:59:59 CDR 90Mbps 0bps 0% Updated! Updated history! Today I upgraded to latest revision but does not fix it either. Other customers are working fine but they do not have combined/multiple links in the billing module. - Gerwin

Ubuntu 13.10 Install
by Pieter De Wit 02 Dec '13

02 Dec '13

Hi Guys, I got my observium working on 13.10. Instead of "Allow from All" in apache, they now need "Require IP", so my config now has the following in the Directory: <Directory "/opt/observium/html/"> Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride All Require ip 192.168 </Directory> Seems to work then. This is all based on the instructions on the wiki page. I will shout if I find more broken things and how to fix. Cheers, Pieter

How to enable bulkwalk?
by Shayne Lebrun 27 Nov '13

27 Nov '13

I'm probably missing something really obvious, but how do you get Observium to use bulkwalk instead of walk? Currently using revision 4586. Trying to get poller times down, running: poller.php -h 51 -d to debug, and it sticks on this command: /usr/bin/snmpwalk -v2c -c 'COMMNAME' -OQUs -m IF-MIB -M /opt/observium/mibs 'udp':'x.x.x.x':'161' ifXEntry Which makes sense, as there's an awful lot of interfaces on that particular device. Running that command manually, using time, gives me: real 2m35.743s user 0m0.326s sys 0m0.168s Replacing /usr/bin/snmpwalk with /usr/bin/snmpbulkwalk and running again gives me: real 0m14.914s user 0m0.080s sys 0m0.038s I'd much rather have this take 15 seconds than 110. I could have sworn I saw something somewhere about setting some different snmpwalk flags, but I can't find anything in the docs, the faqs, the archives, the googles. But it's Friday, so, again, I'm probably missing something obvious. Thanks.

Ideas on Packet Loss?
by Ryan Milton 22 Nov '13

22 Nov '13

Attached is a picture of one device in the network that keeps throwing a fit. I regularly get the notice that it is down (Netscreen 204) and that there is packet loss. Now I think that the two issues may be different. When I "get clock," I show UP 1741 hours. Is this an issue with Observium? If so, I don't know how to change that. I have my Observium server in the same rack as the device in question. Otherwise, it's something with my hardware-obviously. I know that I may feel the wrath of Adam, but I'm trying to narrow down what ISN'T the issue.

Stable vs Trunk
by Adam Armstrong 18 Nov '13

18 Nov '13

Hi All, When we started the new SVN setup, I had envisioned dropping trunk to stable every couple of weeks when I felt it was un-buggy enough. As it turns out, waiting for a bit of software to feel un-buggy enough to call stable is a little bit like chasing a magic dragon in a pharmaceutically-enhanced dream, a largely unattainable goal. It's a little difficult to gauge stability when we have half a dozen commits per day! Are any of you using the stable branch, and if so, how often and under what conditions would you want me to merge changes? adam.

billing module not loading three javascript files
by Rutger Bevaart 18 Nov '13

18 Nov '13

Hi all, In my Observium I have issues with the billing graphs where only the quick graphs are loading correctly. The browser inspector shows: Failed to load a resource : A server with the specified hostname cannot be found : http:<my hostname>js/bootstrap-loader.js Failed to load a resource : A server with the specified hostname cannot be found : http:<my hostname>js/bootstrap-tab.js Failed to load a resource : A server with the specified hostname cannot be found : http:<my hostname>js/billing.js It looks like the ‘/‘ after the hostname is missing… Tried to find where this is set and found three files in html/pages/ called: bill.php.inc bills.php.inc packages.inc.php Manually adding a ‘/‘ there does not solve the problem, and then I’m at the end of my l33t observ1um debug skills. Choosing an “transfer graph” gives a “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500” in the inspector for the graph after the other three above, but it might be totally unrelated. Quick graphs work fine. Anybody encounter this too? regards, Rutger

Can't get alert to trigger
by Kevin Cackler 14 Nov '13

14 Nov '13

We are just now setting up our alerts for the first time and cannot get even our most basic one to alert successfully. We added an alert checker applied to all devices and all entities. The condition is storage_perc gt 80. We then regenerated our alerts and the alert was assigned successfully to all of our devices. On the alert page that shows a summary of the alert and the devices that it belongs to, I see all of our devices listed and all of them have a status of OK even though one of them is currently sitting at 87% utilization. If I mouse over the "state" column for that entity, it confirms that it is at 87 right now. What are we doing wrong? Why isn't this alert triggering?

by Chris Pelling 13 Nov '13

13 Nov '13

Evening all, I have a Dell 2162DS KVM essentially a rebranded Avocent, have MIB, and the FAQs say its not as easy as "adding a mib" :p I honestly do not mind learning / breaking and getting a bollocking for breaking Observium in trying to get this to work so I can potentially help others :p Who wants to show/tell me where to start and Ill start poking :) Observium sees the device, so thats a good start :-) -- Kind regards, Chris

Non-snmp Devices
by Cory Thibault 13 Nov '13

13 Nov '13

Hello, Is it possible to add non-snmp devices? Say I need to monitor a specific website for uptime but don't have snmp level access. I looked up the services check however from what I understand it still relies on the device being added the usual way which requires snmp. Assuming I can't add non-snmp devices, could someone point me in the right direction on extending Observium to add this functionality? Ultimately, I want 4 monitors: ping, tcp protocol checks (custom ports), http(s) (simple or with response analysis) and ssh. If I can do that, then graphing the results will be trivial. I realize there are other tools that have these features but I prefer the Observium interface. Cheers, Cory

Unable to map aut_ldap_groups
by Christian Hügel 13 Nov '13

13 Nov '13

Hi, I´m using the ldap mechanism to auth against our AD. So far I can log in but unable to see any graphs or devices. Apparently the group: $config['auth_ldap_groups']['ObserviumAdmins']['level'] = 10; are not mapped. However, the group "ObserviumAdmins" is present in AD and my username is member of this group. The auth_ldap_groupbase and auth_ldap_group is also correct. Is there anything else I have to take into consideration? Christian

+1 re: bsd

+1 (++good) for a maintained BSD port. but draw the line at slowaris or other nasty *nix. there’s a reason AIX is a homonym of “aches”. alternatively, go the IncrediblePBX route, call it “embedded” and pack it into a VM. ideally, both … if embedded BSD is good enough for StatSeeker, pfSense, or FreeNAS; it’s good enough for us! LOL. by some unfathomable logic, packing up something into an OVF container (along with replacing bash with busybox, and tossing phone-home/updates into a cron job) is an acceptable way to avoid the political agony of introducing Obs into some brain-dead enterprise ‘doze-only shops that forbid OpenSores. ps adam — suggest any future “enterprise" license (if any) should be $8,500/year for those types (under $10k tax-in, so you stay at the discretion boundary of 1st-level budget approvers). Plus another 30% for next-business-day email “support” maintenance. Otherwise, they’ll think you’re just kidding. (keep it the Exact Same Thing as the svn version, but it just costs more … because somehow, that makes it legitimate! ) $0.02 R.
