Re: [Observium] Interface description, auto-add to billing?

Oh man. This is an ancient historical feature from like 2009 that I think broke in 2009 :) The enabling/disabling option is still in the config. But it won't work.

Interface description, auto-add to billing?
by Luis Quintana 25 Sep '13

25 Sep '13

I could have sworn I had seen something where I can enable an auto-add feature in order for ports to be automatically added, into the billing piece, with a particular pattern in the port description. Is this something that is available or will be available? i cant seem to find it again for some reason and I remember even seeing the pattern that was given, which would need to change in my particular instance. Any ideas on this one?

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

cisco chassis temperature sensors gone

Hey, I've just noticed, we have no longer have chasis temperature senors on any Cisco 3560 switches, while it still shows temperature from SFP modules. Debug discovery snmpwalk shows sensor name only, no entSensorValue. Was it polled other way before? Evenlog says its gone like months ago, on march of this year :)

graphs: broken images
by Micah Young 18 Sep '13

18 Sep '13

Hi, Firstly, the process to add graphs is a nice and simple one, so thanks for that. I'm trying to add graphs with different configurations and variable names, and I think I've gotten somewhere, however I'm getting a broken graphs image. I've checked for extra whitespace and have not found any. Neither do I end the files with "?>"; Any idea what the problem might be? Thanks, Mike Y.

Cisco IOS vlans counters
by Terry Sweetser 12 Sep '13

12 Sep '13

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

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

observium Syslog not recieving syslog msgs

Hi, I have been unable to get the syslog function to work and I can't find any info online that is helping I am just getting the follwoing msg on the webpage No syslog entries found! This device does not have any syslog entries. Check that the syslog daemon and Observium configuration options are set correctly, that this device is configured to send syslog to Observium and that there are no firewalls blocking the messages. See documentation<http://www.observium.org/wiki/Category:Documentation> and configuration options<http://www.observium.org/wiki/Configuration_Options#Syslog_Settings> for more information. it may be something simple that I have missed (have followed the documentation on the website ) see far below for my syslog-ng.conf, syslog.php and config.php So far I have tested and my server is receiving syslog msg form my cisco devices I tested this by changing the destination d_observium to output to a file rather than "program("/opt/observium/syslog.php" template ("$HOST||$FACILITY||$PRIORITY||$LEVEL||$TAG||$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY $HOUR:$MIN:$SEC||$MSG||$PROGRAM\n") template-escape(yes)); which worked beautifully any help would be appreciated. ---------------------config.php------------------- <?php ## Have a look in includes/defaults.inc.php for examples of settings you can set here.
