Real-time graphs not handling much about 1gbps (64-bit problem?)
by Stephen Fulton 26 Dec '13

26 Dec '13

Hi all, I'm running community edition v0.13.10.4585 and polling a few C6500's and a Cisco Nexus 7k. I have a number of 10GE interfaces and 10GE etherchannel bundles. The 5 minute graphing appears to work fine, the numbers are accurate when I compare against another monitoring system in production. However, when I run a "real time" poll against an interface or port-channel, of any duration (2 secs to 60 secs), the numbers never crack much above 1gbps, and there are often negative numbers. This suggests 64-bit counters are not being used or being interpreted correctly, but I haven't looked at the code. Has anyone else seen this? If so, did I mess something up with the install or is there something I can do? Thanks, -- Stephen

Alerting system: multiple associations
by Stefano Cordio 24 Dec '13

24 Dec '13

Hey guys, I have the following alert checker: As you can see, the checker is applied only to server devices but I'd like to extend that to storage devices. Is there a simple way to modify the device match rule in something like "type equals (server or storage)"? I tried searching any suggestion on the wiki and on the mail archive, but I didn't find anything. Thanks for any hints, Stefano

Honestly, today I found myself searching your website to order the paid subscription of the software. Hard to find. I found it on a very small link on the homepage but no place else.

Unix Agent
by Ryan Milton 23 Dec '13

23 Dec '13

Still not quite understanding Unix Agent--- from the sounds of it, it has to be installed on all servers that Observium monitors? I finally have SNMP running on FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and from the FAQ's, etc, it really seems that I should bypass Net-SNMP with Observium. Regards, Ryan Milton

Network Dependencies
by Johnathon Voegeli 21 Dec '13

21 Dec '13

Hey guys, I am using the beta version of observium updated with svn with the server running in a datacenter in one US state and some of the SNMP agents in several others. It works perfect with one site, however the other has terrible internet connecting the site, and we lose vpn every once in a while. It immediately comes back, however when it polls while the site is down we receive 20-30 emails about devices being down when in fact it is the internet connection. Is there a way (or a plan in the future) to set dependencies on polling? For example if the Router/Modem does not respond then send an alert as down, but it knows that in fact if it can't talk past the router then obviously the rest will show as down as well so the alerts won't bombard our email? ~JV Johnathon Voegeli jvoegeli(a)voigtie.com<mailto:jvoegeli@voigtie.com>

Skip Memory Pools by regex
by Robert Williams 21 Dec '13

21 Dec '13

Hi, Can anyone tell me if it's possible to 'skip' polling of memory pools using their names (or regex) like you can with interfaces? I need to remove the "reserved" and "image" memory pools which are detected on all of our ASR9k units as they are all 100% (by nature) so are always red. Example below/attached: It's probably staring me in the face but despite trawling the config options I cannot see one for memory pools - Any ideas? Cheers!

Auto Discovered Device
by Matthias Cramer 20 Dec '13

20 Dec '13

Hi All In my Observium installation there is a new Device named "core" appearing every 6h (expect from the discover process) after 12h I have two of them and so on. If I delete them the reappear. I do not know from where this comes. Is there any way to find out how observium finds this device? If not, what's the best way to prevent Observium from automatically adding new devices ?

Email Alerts with Mail/Sendmail Not Working
by sysadmin＠boyah.net 19 Dec '13

19 Dec '13

Hello, I'm having an issue getting Observium to send email alerts. 1. SysContact is set on the client device. 2. Sending test mail from monitoring server via sendmail on command line works fine. 3. Observium config.php has following configuration: $config['alerts']['email']['enable'] = TRUE; $config['alerts']['port']['ifdown'] = TRUE; $config['alerts']['email']['default'] = "notif…(a)xx.net"; $config['email_backend'] = 'mail'; $config['email_from'] = "MTR <mtr...(a)xx.net>"; $config['email_sendmail_path'] = '/usr/sbin/sendmail'; $config['alerts']['interval'] = 900; Setup a demo device, ensured it was polling and reporting correctly, then force-shutdown the demo. No mail sent by Observium. In mail.log, nothing reported (except for the successful test message I sent via command line). Maybe I'm misunderstanding. Will Observium send an email alert when a monitored device goes down, when configured this way? How can I achieve this? Many thanks in advance to anyone who can offer advice.

NFSEN Integration Issues
by Brian Morgan 17 Dec '13

17 Dec '13

Hello, The recent netflow question, reminded me that I needed to finish configuring nfsen on our box. I started going through the process of configuring observium, but no matter what I put in the config file, the suffix would not be removed. Digging into the code it looks like the logic was there in the /html/includes/functions.inc.php to check and use strstr to remove the domain name. But the string that was created was never actually used to open the rrd file. I have updated our functions.inc.php to use $nfsen_filename instead of $basefilename_underscored when creating the $nfsen_rrd_filename variable and the integration is now working. Who should I reach out to discuss our small changes to functions.inc.ph in regards to nfsen integration? Also is it okay to share code snippets of the latest svn branch on this list? Thank you, Brian

Checking the Juniper docs it seems that there is MIB support in JUNIPER-VPN-MIB… If I snmpwalk 1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.3.26 I do indeed get the pseudowire status from the box… I put it here: http://pastebin.com/mMuhdKbA 123456789 is the sanitized pseudo wire ID… Not having looked at the Cisco MIB for this, is it remotely similar making this a doable adventure?

Mount points on windows

Hello, Is there a way to see mount point storage under storage on a windows server? I have a few exchange servers with all of the drives configured as mount points from the SAN as there are not enough drive letters to add them as local disks.

MIB development
by Johnathon Voegeli 09 Dec '13

09 Dec '13

I am by no means a developer. We currently use a lot of AudioCodes MediaPacks and Mediants for 911 VoIP solutions and are in need of monitoring the traffic from them. Is there anyone out there that would be willing to develop the observium MIB integration for us? We would gladly pay if need be and supply the MIBs. Or could someone point us in the right direction if this is the incorrect place to ask? Thanks! Johnathon

Adding a MIB

Hi, Just a little question about adding a MIB from the CheckPoint Gaia OS to my Observium server : Do I need to restart the service ? Does the file need to have a specific name ? Can I put it in the "CheckPoint" folder directly, or do I need to specify a pointer ?

snmp and unix-agent question
by Christos Panagiotakis 07 Dec '13

07 Dec '13

It might sounds stupid but I wanted to ask anyway. :-) The same way the snmp works for distro and parsing the distro data, using: extend .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.7890.1 distro /usr/bin/distro is there a way to use the same or similar for unix-agent ? And parse all the unix-agent data plus any local scripts through snmp ? The purpose to this is to parse the information of workstations behind multiple local networks with one single IP seeing the internet on every lan. So I can use NAT/port forwarding to get different snmpd ports for every workstation on one IP, but I cannot use unix-agent. Is there a way? Thanks in advance, Chris

Billing/Invoicing Integration Options

Database Query option in footer
by Teixeira, Mike 06 Dec '13

06 Dec '13

Hello, There used to be a database query option in the footer of the page that told you what database queries were used to build the page. I can't seem to find that option in the configuration options. Is that option to have that still available? I used that to see the relationships between the database tables. So in my data warehouse I could create reports concerning billing, links between switches, IOS revisions, etc. Thanks, Mike

graphing question

Hi guys, I have a question on graphing. Last week I took some screen shots of our graphs for a specific simulation and then checked again this week for the exact same time periods and the numbers are the same, but the graphs are different.

It only goes up to 40k: [cid:image001.jpg@01CEF109.7988A100] When I checked this exact same graph with the same date and time stamp a week later, the numbers are the exact same, but the graph has changed although still doesn't go up to 225.05k, but does go up higher to 75k: [cid:image002.jpg@01CEF109.7988A100] Any help or insight is greatly appreciated!

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 02 Dec '13

02 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.

Billing aggregated links not working
by Gerwin Krist 02 Dec '13

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

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.
