Perf_time tables
by Jeremy Custenborder 10 Oct '13

10 Oct '13

Are the perf_times and devices_perftimes used for anything other than diagnostics at the moment? These tables are the significant majority of the data in our database. I truncated them once to free up some space. Is this something that I could do on a regular basis? perf_times => 2013-09-20 04:00:02 to 2013-10-10 17:23:21 generated 25,476,751 rows devices_perftimes => 2013-09-20 20:45:02 to 2013-10-10 17:40:21 generated 24,536,885 rows

Mailing alert for hosts down
by BERTRAND Adrien [BPCE Assurances] 10 Oct '13

10 Oct '13

Good afternoon everyone, I'm a security administrator from a French insurance company and me and my collegues are interested in your powerful monitoring tool. I've tested it recently and was amazed by the pretty easy installation of such an intuitive software :-) I've also discovered your splitting editions and your intentions for the future and agree with that. The pricing is correct in front of all the work you (all the devs) have done. The only things I would to know to convince my chief that it's the tool we need, is : do you have a roadmap for the alerting module ? Because, if I've correctly understood, you have done a successful Kickstarter campaign to implement the alerting module, but from my last tests (one of the last free SVN edition, something like r4400) the alerting module wasn't really enabled, even after changing the config.php and setting the mailing alerts (with the right SMTP relay, recipient, etc...). Another question is, when (or how if I've done it wrong ...) do you plan to enable mail alerts for hosts down ? I didn't search in all your archives (only the last months) but I'm sorry if the questions was already asked ... and I'm sorry for my rough English ... Thank you in advance for your answer(s), Adrien Bertrand Information security administrator BPCE Assurances

Client \ Server Observium
by Randy Coburn 09 Oct '13

09 Oct '13

Hi All, I was wondering if there was a way to get a copy of Observium to be a collector and then somehow send that data to a display server. Our issue is that we would like to collect the stats as close to the devices as possible and then transport them over to the central server where we can view them all. If this is as easy as doing some mysql scripting then we should be ok to get it done. However a push in the right direction would be welcome. NewVoiceMedia are proud gold sponsors of Dreamforce.

Observium Community / Professional
by Adam Armstrong 09 Oct '13

09 Oct '13

Hi Guys, As we talked about in April, to sustain development we need to develop a revenue stream. The temporary solution in April was the Kickstarter, which funded 6 months of development for the alerting system. To fund development after that, we've decided to try a relatively inexpensive subscription scheme. http://www.observium.org/Edition_Split The intention is to provide enough for free to keep the people who wouldn't ever pay happy, and try to keep the price low enough that everyone else can pay without worrying too much about it. We've set the subscription at £100/year. If you were a Kickstarter supporter, you'll get a free subscription for a while, because we're nice like that. Comments? :) adam.

Hi, just installed observium on a new host. Everything seems to be fine except that no RRD graphs are shown. I tried to run the poller-wrapper from the CLI and I get this error: /opt/observium/poller-wrapper.py File "/opt/observium/poller-wrapper.py", line 96 with open(config_file) as f: pass ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax Any hints?

Memory Usage: what is there displayed?
by Wiethoff, Helge 09 Oct '13

Hi all, i have a little problem with the Memory-Usage-Graph. I hope it wasn't discussed already: What is displayed there? :-) It says: "Used: -2.0GB" As you can see in the attached memory_usage.png X-AS01:/etc/pam.d # free -h total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 4,9G 4,6G 292M 0B 68M 4,1G -/+ buffers/cache: 399M 4,5G Swap: 743M 115M 628M I guess observium is a bit confused because i have a ramdisk? tmpfs on /mnt/ramdisk type tmpfs (rw,relatime,size=4194304k) Is this a observium-Problem or is it a misconfigured by myself?

Port groups under device
by Christian Hügel 09 Oct '13

09 Oct '13

Hi, i wonder if its possible to group port types (eg. all 10GigE) of a specific device. We have some core switches that have lots of modules with a huge amount of ports. If I click to see the graphs of that device it takes way to long while it loads all of the ports of that device. Like: switch1 ------> Module 1 ------> Module 2 ------> PortChannels ------> TenGig ------> VLANs switch2 etc. It would be much faster/easier to go directly to the desired module/port group. Thanks Chris.

Monitoring an NFS share?
by kevin＠techdaddies.com 09 Oct '13

09 Oct '13

We have our backup storage mounted as an NFS share on our devices. We want to monitor each of these shares individually from the servers themselves (Not from the backup server, as that machine is not under our control). I am loving Observium so far but cannot figure out how we can accomplish this task. Disk monitoring is already in place so this doesn't seem like too much of a reach as the mounted share shows up in df -h output. Any tips would be appreciated.

Custom device types

Has anyone done anything to customize the device types? I poked around in the config file and it does look like each type has its own array of variables that go with it.

Re: [Observium] arp ip dnsname
by Rob VanHooren 07 Oct '13

+1 hack in all of switchmap.pl so I can take it out of cron :-) --- am just curious, is it possible to get the ARP / NDP Table to show the IP addresses associated with the ports instead of just the VLAN ID? Is this possible to configure, or just not with what info the Cisco switches are providing? Sorry if this is explained somewhere, just didn't seem to find anything related to this.

Hi, after som updates (now on the latest public SVN) I have lost temperatures on my SuperMicro boxes. And on some the storage as well.

Hi, I understand the change. And personally I think the price is oke, but I don't hope it will sky-rocket in the near feature. For us the MOST important thing is the Alerting (eg. IF up/down) part. But right now it's very limited and not working very well for us. Make it more less-complicated would be nice :-D When we can use it as reliable monitoring platform too, we are in! One other part: also support RHEL/CENTOS. It's an widely used enterprise OS and can't be ignored imho. - Gerwin

Bug in SLA addition?
by Eric Stewart 04 Oct '13

04 Oct '13

Putting together a test box on CentOS 6.4 today to get a feel for it. If it works for us (though there are some hurdles), we'll look at it as a long term replacement to our largely homegrown MRTG installation. One of the many things I was happy to find that Observium is doing out of the box is Cisco IP SLA graphing. However, I'm running into an issue. The rrds are not being created and the graphs are empty. I set up config.php to enable_sla, and taking a clue from something I came across in the archives, I ran: ./poller.php -d -h <hostname> In the debug, a couple of things show up: SLA 121: jitter IP SLA SVC to Villages Low Priority... RRD[/usr/bin/rrdtool create /usr/local/apps/observium/rrd/<hostname>/sla-121.rrd \ DS:rtt:GAUGE:600:0:300000 --step 300 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:2016 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:6:2976 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:24:1440 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:288:1440 RRA:MIN:0.5:6:1440 RRA:MIN:0.5:96:360 RRA:MIN:0.5:288:1440 RRA:MAX:0.5:6:1440 RRA:MAX:0.5:96:360 RRA:MAX:0.5:288:1440 ] ERROR: can't parse argument ' DS:rtt:GAUGE:600:0:300000' 17ms at 2013-10-03 11:11:59RRD[cmd[update /usr/local/apps/observium/rrd/<hostname>/sla-121.rrd 1380813119:17] stdout[ERROR: opening '/usr/local/apps/observium/rrd/<hostname>/sla-121.rrd': No such file or directory] stderr[]] SLA 130: jitter IP SLA SVC to Mote High Priority...

Running observium on multiple hosts
by Eric Stewart 03 Oct '13

03 Oct '13

I'm looking for some feedback/ideas on how others may have implemented Observium in a multi-site capacity. We are currently using MRTG to provide our data collection and graphing. While Observium isn't a perfect replacement for us, it goes a long way towards replacing much of what MRTG does. Our current setup involves a large university campus. We have core, distribution, and access layers, and at the distribution layers we've implemented monitoring systems for packet capture and (you guessed it) MRTG. This allows for: - Data collection to continue even if a distribution layer site is isolated from the core - Prevents data collection bandwidth from impacting the core Our MRTG data presentation is largely homegrown, and how we go about it isn't important. What I'm looking for are suggestions on how one might take a multi-server setup and allow someone to search or navigate to a given building or switch without having to guess as to which distribution site it's out of. Ideas rattling around my head right now involve: - Coding up the search function so that it not only searches the local site, but also all of the other servers - Coming up with some static page that indicates that a given building is off of a given installation - this one I don't like so much So I'm wondering if this is something someone else has put time and effort into and has a viable solution. -- Eric Stewart - Network Administrator - eric(a)usf.edu University of South Florida, Information Technology

Device Alerts
by James Bensley 02 Oct '13

02 Oct '13

Hi everyone, On the main front page of Observium (the Overview/dashboard), the device alerts table never seems to empty. I guess it works on a maximum number of entries scheme, new alerts are displayed at the top as they occur and old ones are dropped off the bottom. It looks like we always have problems on our NOC display. Is it possible to remove items from the list, clear them off somehow? Many thanks, James.

That page is how it is, you cant remove things from it because its showing state. Rebooted information goes away after 24 hours. Its actually showing you devices with uptime below 24 hours. Adam.

Hi all, is it possible to have a separate graph for each entity in the DiskIO? Scenario is that we try to monitor ZFS server and there are over 200 Filesystems that are shown on top of each other making the graph impossible to use. Thanks!

Sounds like typical Cisco bugs. You should probably verify that your device is populating the correct MIBs before you moan at us. Adam.

Adding a custom OID ?
by Mihai Tanasescu 30 Sep '13

30 Sep '13

Hello, I'm a newbie with Observium having just installed it, but now a question has popped up in my head that I could not find a clear answer to by googling. I have a couple of Linux hosts for which I also added in the net-snmpd conf a counter for the number of imapd & others processes. How could I add to a small part of the existing graphed servers, this OID ? (or where should I look in the conf ?) I was thinking maybe defining a new template (if this is the working principle) and adding there these OIDs also for the discovery phase. Can someone advise me at least where to start my question with ? I'm a bit confused at the moment. Thanks, Mihai

Aggregate Graphing?
by Luis Quintana 27 Sep '13

27 Sep '13

I was looking at the graphing off of the main page, where you select All Devices, then Bits, and had a quick question about this. I assume this is an aggregate of all interfaces being displayed. What I am curious to know is if the graphs show interfaces that are "technically" duplicates? For example, a straight interface on a juniper device can be ge-1/0/0, but because there is a unit attached to the interface, sort of like a sub-interface, ge-1/0/0.0 shows up as well. The problem here is, its the same statistics for both of the interfaces, in this example. So, if the aggregate graph is looking at all interfaces and includes both in the aggregate graph, well than the aggregate is not correct? Not sure if I explained it correctly, and if not, please let me know. What i am getting at is, it seems as though there is duplicate information being aggregated so the graphs is not accurate, from what it looks like. Thoughts?

Hi Could use Cisco ASA per VPN tunnel traffic stats. I think its available thru SNMP ? So my Observium does not show them, so its not currently collecting info per vpn-tunnel ? Regards, Pekka Panula

Problems after sync to 4532
by Andrew Hunstiger 26 Sep '13

26 Sep '13

Sorry if this is the wrong channel to send this to. Not sure what happened, but after syncing to the latest version the web portal seems to be broken. Checking the logs the poller is still working, I just can't access the web page any more. Checking the error logs the only two events that keep popping up when I try to load the page are: [Wed Sep 25 09:29:53 2013] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_SL in /opt/observium/html/index.php on line 212 [Wed Sep 25 09:52:04 2013] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_SL in /opt/observium/html/index.php on line 215 Line 212 points to the start of what I pasted in below. The only part that stood out to me (I honestly have no idea what I am doing, just trying to troubleshoot) is what I highlighted below: { // Warn about lack of mcrypt unless told not to. <<<<<<< .mine <<<<<<< .mine <<<<<<< .mine if($config['login_remember_me'] = FALSE && (!function_exists('mcrypt_decrypt') || !function_exists('mcrypt_encrypt'))) ======= if($config['login_remember_me'] == TRUE && (!function_exists('mcrypt_decrypt') || !function_exists('mcrypt_encrypt'))) ======= if($config['login_remember_me'] = TRUE && (!function_exists('mcrypt_decrypt') || !function_exists('mcrypt_encrypt'))) ======= if($config['login_remember_me'] == TRUE && (!function_exists('mcrypt_decrypt') || !function_exists('mcrypt_encrypt'))) >>>>>>> .r4532 >>>>>>> .r4471 >>>>>>> .r4532 { print_error('Observium now requires mcrypt to be installed for use by the "remember me" function.

Print a page. if (isset($vars['page']) && !strstr("..", $vars['page']) && is_file("pages/" . $vars['page'] . ".inc.php")) { include("pages/" . $vars['page'] . ".inc.php"); } else { if (isset($config['front_page']) && is_file($config['front_page'])) { include($config['front_page']); } else { include("pages/front/default.php"); } } } } Once I commented those lines out, the page was able to load without any problems. // <<<<<<< .mine // <<<<<<< .mine // <<<<<<< .mine if($config['login_remember_me'] = FALSE && (!function_exists('mcrypt_decrypt') || !function_exists('mcrypt_encrypt'))) // ======= if($config['login_remember_me'] == TRUE && (!function_exists('mcrypt_decrypt') || !function_exists('mcrypt_encrypt'))) // ======= if($config['login_remember_me'] = TRUE && (!function_exists('mcrypt_decrypt') || !function_exists('mcrypt_encrypt'))) // ======= if($config['login_remember_me'] == TRUE && (!function_exists('mcrypt_decrypt') || !function_exists('mcrypt_encrypt'))) // >>>>>>> .r4532 // >>>>>>> .r4471 // >>>>>>> .r4532 Also, once I did the sync, there was an error (wish I wrote it down first) when running the "./discovery.php -h none" command.

Re: [Observium] notify
by Rob VanHooren 26 Sep '13

on that note, when considering thresholds in the alert system, one desirable feature may be to trigger on 'zero' as well as some upper bound. i.e., my demarc might be just fine, but if somebody stops sending me traffic on a provisioned link, release the hounds!

SQL query instead of port detail
by Wolfgang Eitel 25 Sep '13

25 Sep '13

hi. I just installed another instance ob observium. While my first one is working like a charm (installed 6 weeks ago) this one has a strange behaviour. For example: When I click on a device and then click on the showed graph I do net get the port details with more detailed RRD graph (where you can changes the range with time and date). Instead only a SQL query is showed :( Any ideas what causes the issue? best, Wolfgang

Polling Intervals
by Robbie Wright 24 Sep '13

24 Sep '13

So we're relatively new to Observium and hacking out way through getting it integrated and tested in our environment. One common thing (that we can't find in the faq's or documentation) other tools use is the ability to change polling intervals. On our edge firewall, we might want one minute queries while on SAN volumes we might want 30 minute disk checks. Is there any way to adjust that per device/device type/globally?

Disable auto adding ports on Mikrotik PPPoE Server
by Petar Janev 24 Sep '13

24 Sep '13

Hi I have two Mikrotik PPPoE Servers added to Observium and it constantly adding new ports as users get connected with PPPoE ports, and then deleted as user disconnects. After some time a lot of ports appear in Deleted Port, that I need to manually delete them, and also disk space grows as new rrd's gets created. I tried adding "bad_if" in config file but without success, because this interfaces don't have description. Also is there any way to permanently delete this previously added port from database and rrd folder. Thanks, Petar Janev

macsuck CAM tables?
by Joel Krauska 24 Sep '13

24 Sep '13

I would love to see a Mac Address forwarding table grab in observium for L2 devices. Maybe it's already there, but I couldn't find it. In NetDisco, this feature is implemented using the 'macsuck' tool. *http://www.netdisco.org/readme.html#glossary* I've implemented it before in sloppy perl using the Bridge mib. * http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk648/tk362/technologies_tech_note09186a008… * The gist for collection is: - determine the list of active vlans - for each vlan get a list of mac addresses per 'bridge port' - lookup a translation of bridgeport to ifindex If you correlate this data with a global ARP table and DNS, you get a killer feature. "Lookup the switch port where a given host was last seen. (and hopefully where it still is)" Because this can be a pretty dynamic dataset, you'll also probably want to maintain the list by putting a last seen datestamp and rolling out old entries. I think I've found a few hints at some development interest in the past about this sort of feature. Has it gotten any traction? Cheers, Joel
