Re: [Observium] LDAP auth to MS AD with TLS Self Signed Cert
by Tony Guadagno 16 Feb '22

16 Feb '22

Sorry, I should have been more specific…I already have other apps using ldap with tls hitting the server and they work…so I am confident my AD server is properly configured. I work a lot with ldap and I often find that some apps that integrate with ldap and tls get picky about the cert..thats why I think it might be the fact that I am using a self signed cert (which is common on AD servers). Usually, there is a way to tell the application “ignore the fact that it is self signed, accept it anyway” Tony From: Brandon Lund<mailto:brandon@kansas.net> Sent: Wednesday, February 16, 2022 3:08 PM To: Observium<mailto:observium@observium.org> Cc: Tony Guadagno<mailto:tonyg@guadagno.org> Subject: Re: LDAP auth to MS AD with TLS Self Signed Cert looks like you need to enable tls for ad to start listing for ldaps no experience just a quick search. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/identity/enabl… [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/media/logos/logo-ms-social.png]<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/identity/enabl…> Enable Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) over Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) - Windows Server | Microsoft Docs<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/identity/enabl…> docs.microsoft.com Describes how to enable LDAP over SSL with a third-party certification authority.

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
by Toky ANDRIANASOLO 09 Feb '22

09 Feb '22

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

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?

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.

syslog issues
by Brad Bendy 22 Dec '21

22 Dec '21

Spent hours on this and am at a loss. Got some hosts that won't have syslog show up in the GUI, digging further the DB shows the IP not the hostname for those records, so that makes sense why they are not showing up. Looking at the actual data coming over syslog the devices that work and don't work show the exact same format. Nothing different at all, and identical configs on identical devices. Is there a debug or another log that I am not seeing that would show why these entries are getting inserted into the DB as IP addresses and not being replaced with hostnames? At a loss, any suggestions would be great! Thanks

Ruckus zone director support

is anyone monitoring ruckus zone directors? it looks like it provides a bunch of useful info via snmp but observium is not graphing much other then the bandwidth on the interfaces. main thing i am looking for would be a graph of the number of ap's connected. 1.3.6.1.4.1.25053.1.2.1.1.1.15.1.0 aka online ap number RUCKUS-ZD-SYSTEM-MIB::ruckusZDSystemStatsNumAP.0 = Gauge32: 15 ^ is a oid i found from a script i run against my Nagios to monitor the same stat, just would like a graph also. i am sure there is lots of other useful info also ,eg number of clients connected per wlan, per ap, etc. it looks like you already have the mib file for these installed but i am not sure where i would start customizing the code. i would think i need to make a new OS for ruckus zonedirector different than ruckus aps, and then have that apply these mibs, but i am unsure where i should start.

Adam, happy to do that, can you give me the snmpwalk syntax you would like?

If you are interested in the nature of the data flowing (e.g. destinations and protocols, etc.) then you probably need another tool like ntopng but only if your network equipment supports NetFlow/sFlow exports. To check bandwidth being used, typically you drill down to a specific port on a router or switch and display the data graphically that way. For data flowing between sites via a VPN, you may need to look at IPsec ports, rather than physical ports. Take a look under ports: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ad/Observium-ports-march20… MfG Darren On Fri, 3 Dec 2021 at 11:13, Njoroge, Joyce (Stadt Ulm) via observium < observium(a)observium.org> wrote: > Hallo, > I have two questions that I would like to know whether it is possible > to do using Observium: > > 1.
