Error drawing Graph
by Roman Romanyak 01 Nov '13

01 Nov '13

Hello everyone, I'm having strange issue, and spend a lot of time troubleshooting this without any success. Getting error 'error drawing graph' only for some devices only - EX4200 switches, which are located in the remote datacenter. After I started seeing issue, I install another switch here in local datacenter and added it to observium and its working good. Could be the issue in latency - the delay is about 30ms? discovery and poller scripts run good, the only thing I noticed that for the devices that don't work I in rrd/<device_name>/ files port-###.rrd are missing. The CPU and Memory graphs are working good, only network graphs are having errors. Thanks, Roman.

This is most certainly related to network conditions or polling frequency. The poller must run every 5 minutes. Make sure you are running the latest version (svn update) Adam.

traffic from transit/peering ports is not being generated

Gentlemen, I'm having trouble generating the graphics Transit / Peering, I put the description of the interface as described in the wiki ( http://www.observium.org/wiki/Interface_Description_Parsing), but when I go to the Ports menu -> Transit and Peering he do not show any graph. Below is some information about the descriptions: xe-0/0/0.3664 up up NTT Provider (AS2914) [2Gbps] Would be the case of removing part of [2Gbps]?

Upgrading to SVN stopped SNMP on my Zhones
by Brian Merrell 30 Oct '13

30 Oct '13

ZNID-GE-2424-NA-0GN- Zhone Indoor Network Interface Device; Release S2.5.073; We're looking at an 8 port zhone as well (better for triple play). I had 40 in that I need to monitor usage for but because of the SNMP issues affected by existing method of usage collection I have to take them out until I know i have a stable new setup for them with this. We have more but don't need to collect stats on all of them as that usually becomes somewhat cost prohibitive.

Upgrading to SVN stopped SNMP on my Zhones
by Brian Merrell 30 Oct '13

30 Oct '13

Code where this issue crops up appears to be 4711. 4710 looks like it works but 4711 seems to struggle through the poller process. I'm not sure that it isn't the discovery as I have gotten that exact and I'm still on a learning curve here. That said, 4710 is working right now on my zhones so I'm going keep testing on it.

Upgrading to SVN stopped SNMP on my Zhones
by Brian Merrell 30 Oct '13

30 Oct '13

Zhone's are being detected as "GENERIC" which is fine for as long as I get my port data. I started using Observium just last week and in the Open Source version and it gathered data fine all weekend for my Zhone switches. Changing over to the SVN and updating seems to be causing my zhones to stop responding to SNMP. Allied and Alcatel devices (which have the MIBS built in) work fine. Is there a specific SVN version that correlates to the Edition Split that I could try and go back too to see if that poller or discovery works better for these devices? Anybody else notice this? I've been looking for a couple hours and don't see much trouble with the poller like this lately.

Hi Everyone, I'd be interested to know if there is a way to get some percentage ratio between two graphs.

Juniper MX memory issue
by Steve Rossen 29 Oct '13

29 Oct '13

Is anyone else using Observium on the Juniper MX80 platform? I know the MX960 is listed as supported but not the smaller one and we are seeing an odd memory issue that lines up perfectly with when we started polling it with Observium. Attached/linked image shows the last 12 months of memory usage on a MX5. Not sure if it is related to Observium or not so reaching out to see if other are seeing a similar slow memory climb or not. http://i.imgur.com/9PET5L3.png

pfSense SNMP daemon crashes after update to r4711
by Stefano Cordio 28 Oct '13

28 Oct '13

Hello guys, yesterday I updated my Observium (Centos 6.4) to the r4711 and I noticed that all my pfSense firewalls (5 hosts, two 2.0.3 and three 2.1) became down. On every host, the SNMP daemon was crashed. I tried to restart the daemon on every pfSense, but it crashed again and it seems to me that it crashes during the next cycle of polling (the discovery seems to go fine). Today I tried to update to the r4715 but I'm experiencing the same problem. Has anyone experienced something like that? How can I go deeper? Thanks for any hints, Kind Regards Stefano

Hi I've noticed this afternoon that I'm no longer able to enter the character 'x' or 'X' in any input field. Pasting the character works but not normal keyboard input. All other characters seam to work as before. A work collogue has the same problem. So I think it's not the browser. The new behaviour seams to be on one of the changes since Thursday.

EX4200/4550 VC - Port Polling ~200 Seconds
by Tyler Christiansen 28 Oct '13

28 Oct '13

Testing Observium, I've noticed that polling an EX4200/4550 with Observium takes about 200 seconds. There are around 300 ports, and I've noticed that Observium polls the logical interfaces as separate from the physical interfaces. I considered disabling logical interface polling, but the logical interfaces are used for a lot of port correlations, etc. Cacti with Spine takes 13 seconds to poll everything in our network, and Cacti with the PHP poller takes maybe 2 minutes to poll everything in our network. Because of Cacti's ability to handle this particular device (even with its PHP poller), I'm pretty convinced that the issue isn't the device. I've checked interface, memory, and CPU utilization on the Observium server as well as the device and the network in-between. Everything is fine. I've also turned Cacti off to ensure there was no strange clash. I also turned polling off for all ports that were in a "down" state and disabled those ports in the switch as well. It almost seems that Observium's poller walks one OID at a time in serial, or otherwise does some ridiculously complex discovery on every poll that it doesn't need to do. Cacti does bulk requests, so it gets around 50 OIDs per request to the switch stack. Is it possible that I'm missing something in the Observium configuration? Thanks! --Tyler

RRD, Graphs and Draw Errors
by Moermond, Timothy 24 Oct '13

24 Oct '13

Hi, I recently updated to the subscription model of observium and did a clean install, but did use my old config.php file. I have several pages where the graphs show draw errors. I have tried setting the permissions on the RRD to apache:apache as indicated in the instructions, which did not seem to change the behavior. I then switched it to root:root, which also does not seem to change the behavior. I reviewed the information on RRD and Graph issues from the mailing list archives, unfortunately the couple of items I found to try did not seem to change the issue either. I did remove the ?> tag and the remaining white space at the end of the config.php file. I have attached a screen shot of the current permissions for the RRD directory and a screen of from one of the pieces of equipment showing the draw error. Some graphs appear to draw but do not contain data such as the CPU graphs. I am not sure how to proceed to further isolate what may be wrong. I have verified the path to the RRD directory and Executable on the system and checked that they were good in the config.php file. Thank you, Tim

mini-/micrographs stacked / aggregated?
by Andreas Rüdel 24 Oct '13

24 Oct '13

Greetings Is there a way we can create "aggregated" (or "stacked") mini-/micrographs for the frontpage? using this syntax $config['frontpage']['minigraphs']['ids'] = "19418,port_bits,Dist76-01.AMS4;19496,port_bits,NAME"; or this: $config['frontpage']['micrographs']['RING']['ids'] = "19414,port_bits,NAME;19492,port_bits,NAME2;19439,port_bits,NAME3"; results in several graphs next to each other. what we are after is in "mini" or "micro" what we can do it using "custom" traffic graphs - but they are too big for what we are trying to do... $config['frontpage']['custom_traffic']['ids'] = "19418,19496"; <-- this actually stacks the data into one graph thanks for any pointers!

Re: [Observium] Random Unicode Characters in BGP Polling / hex2ip
by Bastiaan Topper 22 Oct '13

22 Oct '13

Hi Mike, After your patch, it still isn't completely working. In the first screenshot (18:31) I manually triggered a discovery. The second minute I also manually triggered the poller. In fact 3 things are going wrong. - First the discovery fixes the IP addresses (ipv6) for the missing rows and second the poller removes the IPv6 addresses. - The second column for the IPv6 address still gives strange characters. - Last; the ip addresses (ipv4) are still wrongly formatted. I also included some debug logs again. Hopefully you can fix this.

Re: [Observium] poller-wrapper.py not working on FreeBSD9.1
by Borja Marcos 21 Oct '13

21 Oct '13

Hello, I 've been using Observium on FreeBSD 9.2 and now 10-BETA1 The most important difference between FreeBSD and some Linux distributions is where stuff is installed. The default installation of Observium uses /usr/bin as the path for many commands (snmp, Python, etc) and FreeBSD keeps a strict separation between the base system and the optional ports/packages. Nothing dramatic, but they belong under /usr/local/bin instead of /usr/bin, /usr/local/lib instead of /usr/lib... This is a list of the paths that should point to /usr/local. Note that Python and PHP are in /usr/local/bin, not /usr/bin (where the Observium files expect to find them). ./discovery.php:#!/usr/bin/env /usr/local/bin/php ./poll-billing.php:#!/usr/bin/env /usr/local/bin/php ./poller.php:#!/usr/bin/env /usr/local/bin/php ./includes/defaults.inc.php:$config['rrdtool'] = "/usr/local/bin/rrdtool"; ./includes/defaults.inc.php:$config['fping'] = "/usr/local/sbin/fping"; ./includes/defaults.inc.php:$config['fping6'] = "/usr/local/sbin/fping6"; ./includes/defaults.inc.php:$config['snmpwalk'] = "/usr/local/bin/snmpwalk"; ./includes/defaults.inc.php:$config['snmpget'] = "/usr/local/bin/snmpget"; ./includes/defaults.inc.php:$config['snmpbulkwalk'] = "/usr/local/bin/snmpbulkwalk"; ./includes/defaults.inc.php:$config['snmptranslate'] = "/usr/local/bin/snmptranslate"; ./includes/defaults.inc.php:$config['mtr'] = "/usr/local/sbin/mtr"; ./includes/defaults.inc.php:$config['nmap'] = "/usr/local/bin/nmap"; ./includes/defaults.inc.php:$config['dot'] = "/usr/local/bin/dot"; ./includes/defaults.inc.php:$config['unflatten'] = "/usr/local/bin/unflatten"; ./includes/defaults.inc.php:$config['neato'] = "/usr/local/bin/neato"; ./includes/defaults.inc.php:$config['sfdp'] = "/usr/local/bin/sfdp"; ./includes/defaults.inc.php:$config['svn'] = "/usr/local/bin/svn"; ./config.php:$config['nfsen_rrds'] = "/usr/local/nfsen/profiles-stat/live/"; ./poller-wrapper.py:#! /usr/bin/env /usr/local/bin/python I know I shouldn't have modified includes/defaults.inc.php, but I did it before I realized I should change it in config.php. Start by checking your paths, make sure that Observium can find Python, PHP, Net-SNMP, etc. Borja.

Error while adding localhost. Problem with SNMP

With regards to the question of "why FreeBSD?", that's personal preference. I'm more comfortable troubleshooting on FreeBSD than on Linux… Is there any way to make poller-wrapper.py produce more logging? (I admit not going through the code). Regards Rutger

poller-wrapper.py not working on FreeBSD?

I have the following line in my /etc/crontab on FreeBSD9.1: */5 * * * * root /opt/observium/poller-wrapper.py 1 >> /dev/null 2>&1 I can manually run the poller (as root) but all monitored interfaces go to '0'.

Re: [Observium] Empty ADSL and SLA rrd

Hi All, has anyone ran into the below? is it something that I've configured incorrectly? From: David George Sent: Tuesday, 15 October 2013 8:51 AM To: 'observium(a)observium.org' Subject: Empty ADSL and SLA rrd Morning all, I've just started trailing observium, and it's looking like a great system. Router health and interface counters seems to be logged and graphed correctly, so it's starting to look like a viable alternative to some of the larger closed source systems. I especially like the simplicity of the design which should allow for some additional sensor development down the that I'll submit back. So kudos on the system, I quite like it. Now - onto the issue, and I'm assuming given the size of the user-base this is likely to be configuration, but I've read and re-read the related doco and I'm unable to find anything wrong. I've added a Cisco 877 device, port counters and health are being logged and graphed correctly, but the ip-sla statistics and adsl line statistics are not. The header line includes dsl stats, and those stats appear to update according to the polling schedule, but the graphs do not. Also, the file timestamp is NOT updating on the adsl RRD file. it is however updating on the sla rrd file. rrdtool dump reveals that the rrd file contains no rows that have a value. config file contains $config['enable_ports_adsl'] = 1; # Enable ADSL-LINE-MIB $config['enable_sla'] = 1; Observium CE 0.13.10.4585 Apache 2.2.22 (Ubuntu) PHP 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.8 MySQL 5.5.29-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 RRDtool 1.4.7 [cid:image001.png@01CECE80.E0CDC300] [cid:image002.png@01CECE80.E0CDC300]

Making use of hdarray
by Henri Watson 20 Oct '13

20 Oct '13

Hi all, I've been trying to make use of hdarray (added in http://jira.observium.org/browse/OBSERVIUM-233) but it seems like there's a bit of an issue with the patch: it doesn't contain the actual observium-agent module. The patch seems to have been merged into SVN's devel branch (http://www.observium.org/svn/observer/branches/devel/includes/polling/unix-…, for example) but there's no hdarray module in SVN's devel branch either (see http://www.observium.org/svn/observer/branches/devel/scripts/agent-local/) which should rule out the possibility of it being added in right after. Am I looking in the wrong place or is the hdarray module simply missing? Cheers, Henri Watson
