separate diskio graphs for different devices
by Mihai - Cristian Satmarean 02 Oct '13

02 Oct '13

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.

".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.

SQL query instead of port detail

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

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/lanswitch/command/reference/lsw_s2.html… Hello Observium Community, Before I add a feature request to JIRA and/or start work on an idea I have: I'd like to discuss it here briefly. I have a cisco router terminating a QinQ trunk on a GigabitEth port, the 2 tags are actually 802.1AD "translated" to cisco `ISL', and I would like to track the bit/s t/p on each (outer) S-TAG. There's no interface that corresponds to the S-TAG only; you get the entire trunk or several thousand sub-interfaces which correspond to the C-tags. The router has no trouble at all keeping a counter on the S-TAG level vlans: ROUTER#show vlans dot1q Total statistics for 802.1Q VLAN 1179: 1043211296 packets, 392860154434 bytes input 1318271657 packets, 1413383465338 bytes output Total statistics for 802.1Q VLAN 1180: 12901924856 packets, 5689677372911 bytes input 16833259171 packets, 17373955952108 bytes output So, the 1st task would be to find the MIB, if any for these "outer" tags, and attempt to write code for an add-on to discover and graph them. Any one "been there, done that" as yet? -- http://about.me/terry.sweetser

Frontpage

Is there a way to only show Overall traffic, not peering traffic, or "This Month"? Or how would I correct this to show properly anyway? Is it a matter of selecting the graph that I want to see and adding another line as you would do with minigraphs?

[observium] graphs and crontab
by Sanders, Curtis 12 Sep '13

12 Sep '13

Sorry if this has been asked already. I have scrolled thru the posts but I haven't come across the answer to my question yet. When I run ./poller-wrapper.py manually it works fine; I get graphing data for most of my devices, and the graphs show up. But if I let cron run it, nothing shows up? What am I missing? It's a clean build of Ubuntu 12.04, and Observium 0.13.9.4471. Thanks in advance, any help is appreciated. Yes, I'm a newb. :-)

Is the only option for the frontpage map "world"? I really only have network gear in NYC and Amsterdam, Holland. Any type of changes to regions, or map just got me an error. Is there a way of refining those displays? Regards, Ryan Milton MVS Network Manager o: 201-447-1505 x124 c: 862-249-5230 www.mvsusa.com<http://www.mvsusa.com/> [MVS final logo GOOD very small]

search MAC in FDB
by Jordan Paschalidis 11 Sep '13

11 Sep '13

Hi, trying to use the search option in observium. If i go to FDB Tables and pick a random MAC-Address and enter it in the searchfield there is no result. Whereas when i do this with any other search-option (ipv4;MAC Address;ARP/NDP) and enter appropriately, there is an result. Tested with 0.13.8.4262 and 0.13.7.4172. Has anybody a solution for this? -- Mit freundlichem Gruß Jordan Paschalidis

Unknown OS - Cisco ACS-Server
by Chris 11 Sep '13

11 Sep '13

Hello, I've got some CISCO-ACS-servers here. These appliances are linux-based systems and running a IOS-like application - with no access to the underlying OS. Anyway the SNMP agent behaves like running on a linux-server. Observium shows these Systems as "Unknown". is it possible to make the system known? currenty observium shows all "normal" linux-like graphs. (CPU/users/storage/and so on) here some snmp-vars for system detection: SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = STRING: Cisco Secure Access Control System 5.4 SNMPv2-MIB::sysObjectID.0 = OID: SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.47.1.1.1.1.13.1 DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (66748343) 7 days, 17:24:43.43 SNMPv2-MIB::sysContact.0 = STRING: user SNMPv2-MIB::sysName.0 = STRING: acs-server SNMPv2-MIB::sysLocation.0 = STRING: serverroom SNMPv2-MIB::sysServices.0 = INTEGER: 12 SNMPv2-MIB::sysORLastChange.0 = Timeticks: (3) 0:00:00.03 SNMPv2-MIB::sysORID.1 = OID: SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB::snmpFrameworkMIBCompliance SNMPv2-MIB::sysORID.2 = OID: SNMP-MPD-MIB::snmpMPDCompliance SNMPv2-MIB::sysORID.3 = OID: SNMP-USER-BASED-SM-MIB::usmMIBCompliance SNMPv2-MIB::sysORID.4 = OID: SNMPv2-MIB::snmpMIB SNMPv2-MIB::sysORID.5 = OID: TCP-MIB::tcpMIB SNMPv2-MIB::sysORID.6 = OID: IP-MIB::ip SNMPv2-MIB::sysORID.7 = OID: UDP-MIB::udpMIB SNMPv2-MIB::sysORID.8 = OID: SNMP-VIEW-BASED-ACM-MIB::vacmBasicGroup SNMPv2-MIB::sysORDescr.1 = STRING: The SNMP Management Architecture MIB.

Polling missed?
by Luis Quintana 10 Sep '13

10 Sep '13

Out of curiosity, where would I begin looking for any issues with missed polls or graphs not showing data for a certain period of time? I have looked under /var/log and do not see anything that stands out. I'm not sure if there are any other locations i can investigate this on. I am running ubuntu server 12.04.3 LTS. Attached are a couple of graphs you can see the gap of data not presented, or possibly missing? The weird part is, i have about 90% of my devices that show this gap, but the other 10% doesnt. Theres no specific network device/factor that would be have created this either. Any thoughts/suggestions/ideas?

Windows server issue with disk space
by DaZZa 10 Sep '13

10 Sep '13

Hi. I found Observium after reading a post on Reddit (if you're out there, whoever made the post, you have my eternal thanks!), and I've got it setup and running pretty much OK, but I've run into an issue with one specific Windows host. Observium accesses and sets it up OK except for one disk volume - the drive is approximately 15 Tb in size, but Observium is only reporting it as being 8Tb, and I can't figure out why. Can anyone suggest what I may have configured incorrectly? I initially used SNMP V1 to discover/configure this host - could that be the issue, perhaps? Thanks for any input, and a huge thanks to the guys (and gals?) who write this stuff, so that those of us who can't code our way out of a wet paper bag can still satisify the demands of manglement!

"No devices found" shown on Devices pages
by Stuart Shelton 08 Sep '13

08 Sep '13

Many of the pages beneath the "Devices" menu incorrectly display "No devices found". For example, choosing "All Devices" lists two devices, but clicking any of the controls in the '<div class="well">' segment - even the "Detail" button which is active by default - no longer shows the two devices but again reverts to "No devices found". Further down the "Devices" menu, "Servers (2)" is shown, but choosing this also displays "No devices found". Other menus, such as "Ports", appear to display all of their data correctly. This occurs with both SVN-3763 and the latest SVN-4451. When I spoke to another Observium user, they had the same issue, but no solution. Has anyone else seen this problem, or can anyone suggest anything I might do to resolve the issue? Many thanks, Stuart

Automated CSV/XCL/etc Traffic Billing Report?
by Luis Quintana 07 Sep '13

07 Sep '13

I was looking at the Traffic Billing piece and was curious to know if there is a way to setup an automated monthly report for each individual "customer" that is listed under that area? I dont seem to find anything at the moment. Would be cool to automate that and shoot out the raw data, in addition to the graphs for each individual "customer" on a monthly basis to whatever email address(s) specified. Would that ever be a feature or does anyone know how it could be accomplished?

Traffic Bill
by Maximilian Jacobsen 05 Sep '13

05 Sep '13

Hi, thanks for the development of observium! I want to use Observium to calculate the traffic of my clients. Now I have the following problem: Under "used" always "0B" is displayed. The same goes for "Over Usage" where only "-" is displayed. In the bar where the traffic usage should be displayed in percent is nothing. In the observium main directory I have found the file poll- billing.php I run it, but unfortunately nothing has happened here. I would be very grateful for a little assistance. For your information: Observium 0.13.9.4451 -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen Maximilian Jacobsen

is_file() usage for rrd file existance
by Peter Childs 05 Sep '13

05 Sep '13

Gday folks. I'm fiddling around with remote RRD storage via rrdcached. Most of the rrdtool stuff is wrapped in includes/rrdtool.inc.php which is wonderful from this perspective. Not within this include is the usage of is_file() to determine the existence of an rrd file. In discovery the pattern is something like If( ! is_file( some.rrd ) ) { rrdtool_create ( … )} In graphing the pattern is something like If ( is_file( some.rrd ) { graph some stuff… } Would there be any support for moving this usage into a rrdtool_file_exists( ) thin wrapper for is_file ? This would make it much easier to extended includes/rrdtool.inc.php to support storage of RRD's on remote storage (and potentially distribute over multiple remote storage devices ..) Thoughts? I had a quick check for usage of scandir/readdir to determine all the rrd's in a 'device' directory, but this doesn't seem to be a common pattern. My other evil thought is to use rename_function/override_function to work around this, but it seems very very WRONG. Cheers, Peter
