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
by Brandon Lund 20 Dec '21

20 Dec '21

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.

Re: [Observium] question about wmi
by Tony Guadagno 17 Dec '21

17 Dec '21

Rando, I followed this KB https://docs.observium.org/device_windows/ and it just worked. The reason I asked the questions is that it is not immediately obvious that it is working or not. The poller.php -m wmi -v proves it is working but also, I realized that if wmi is working, then your Microsoft devices will show a “windows services” tab. Also, I have Observium installed on RHEL 8. There seems to be no wmi package for version 8 (CentOS or RHEL). I installed the wmi RPM for version 7 and it seems to be working…fyi Good luck Tony From: Rando Sui Sent: Friday, December 17, 2021 6:29 AM To: Observium Cc: Tony Guadagno Subject: RE: [Observium] question about wmi Hello, How did you get WMI working and passing info?

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.

Hallo, I have two questions that I would like to know whether it is possible to do using Observium: 1. Is there a way to monitor the data that flows between site-to-site locations? 2. How can I check the bandwidth of a device that is already in observium? Lastly, I understand that mapping is from a 3rd party provider (OpenStreetMap), but would anyone have had a problem, whereby just from nowhere locations, that were properly mapped, are not correctly mapped anymore? A bunch of locations are showing in the middle of the sea. Thanks. Regards, Joyce

Discovery of IPv6 only hosts
by r0m5 30 Nov '21

30 Nov '21

Hello, I have a problem addind IPv6 only hosts to observium using discovery. For example the "myserver" host in the extract below (part of the result of"/opt/observium/discovery.php -h all -dd") This "myserver" host is discovered as a LLDP neighbor of another host. Then discovery.php tries to connect to "myserver" with snmpget using its IPv6 address. But There are missing brackets in the snmpget command : - failing : /usr/bin/snmpget -v2c -c 'commu' -Pud -OQUsn -m SNMPv2-MIB -M /opt/observium/mibs/rfc:/opt/observium/mibs/net-snmp 'udp6':'fde6:67ca:25ef:14::17':'161' .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.2.0.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0 - would be OK (adding brackets) : /usr/bin/snmpget -v2c -c 'commu' -Pud -OQUsn -m SNMPv2-MIB -M /opt/observium/mibs/rfc:/opt/observium/mibs/net-snmp 'udp6':'[fde6:67ca:25ef:14::17]':'161' .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.2.0.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0 How could I solve this issue ? - is there a way to force observium to add brackets ? - or maybe even better to force observium to use the hostname "myserver" to connect using snmpget instead of the IPv6 address ?

Unable to create web links to Watchdog monitors`
by Joe Brouillette 29 Oct '21

29 Oct '21

Good afternoon, I am trying to create a web page with links to our Watchdog environment monitors and not having any luck. I am using the same syntax I used with the Observium server I had last year and all I'm getting is a pink rectangle with No Auth at the top and the Date/Time indicators at the bottom. I can copy my links and put them in the address bar of my browser and the temperature graph pops right up. I did add the $config['allow_unauth_graphs'] = 0; line to my config.php file. I've been going over my settings and I can't figure this out. What am I doing wrong? I'm running Observium Professional 21.10.11678.

Hosts showing with _gateway
by Brad Bendy 28 Oct '21

28 Oct '21

Hi, Ive been chasing this problem for hours and see what is going on, no clue why. I have a host that is in DNS and added to Observium, syslog is not being collected. Digging around more I also see a _gateway device in Observium (I have never added this). This device actually appears to be the one I am having issues with. I removed the device and readded, it polls the device once it looks then the rrds area created as _gateway and not the actual device name, so that's why the GUI is not showing anything I am guessing. In this install the gateway is the same firewall that I am trying to add that is showing up as _gateway. We have no _gateway anywhere in the config and nothing in the local hosts file or DNS. So I am a lost as to what is going on here. Has anyone seen this or have a clue what is going on?? Thanks

Dell OpenManage / Monitor
by ron＠rjr-services.com 27 Oct '21

27 Oct '21

Howdy Dev team, Was doing some digging into the /includes/mibs/dell.inc.php and found the section on $mib = 'MIB-Dell-10892'; $config['mibs'][$mib]['enable'] = 1; $config['mibs'][$mib]['identity_num'] = '.1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1'; With a number of sub-items. As Dell have been releasing newer versions of OpenManage and Dell Command|Monitor, they have been migrating away from the 10892 mib, and are now using the 10909 mib. Just did a comparison walk on two different machines with different versions of OM agent, and have the following results: SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.674.10892.1.300.10.1.9.1 = STRING: "Precision WorkStation T3500 " SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.674.10909.1.300.10.1.9.1 = STRING: "Precision T7610" Of course the former machine doesn't have anything on 10909, and the latter has nothing on 10892. Sometime back, I pulled down MIB-Dell-10909 and dropped it into $OBSERVIUM_HOME/mibs/dell, but I haven't tried hacking on any of the php files anywhere... but it leads the question of whether it would be a "low-hanging fruit" type of change or if it would be something more substantial. Regards, Ron -- This message has been scanned by E.F.A. Project and is believed to be clean.

Mysql binary log files full hd

We've got a server running subscription observium and inadvertently had our mysql binary logging settings not optimized and filled the drive. Mysql won't start to run the recovery process due to the full drive. Server is only running observium. Is it safe to manually delete some of the old binlog files to get mysql to start and then run the cleanup in mysql or would I lose observium info? Thanks! Jay
