Re: [Observium] vrf dance

well then if nobody else out there gets it right, then that just screams "opportunity" for Observium! we can just all hope that it doesn't wind up giving Adam Mike and Tom too much brain damage. :-) R. PS: DNS separation I could see as logical for VDCs. But for VRFs? That's banannas to have to try do. Don't even know that it'd fully function. (e.g., traps etc. are pinned to source from just one vrf; how to map back the event blame of $other_vrf_"device" as culprit?) Screws loose in San Jose, for sure.

There is no community indexing for the vrf MIBs as far as I have seen. It's quite common for Cisco to not bother implementing what they consider to be service provider MIBs on enterprise hardware. This is probably something you need to direct to Cisco. Note that we currently consider the vrf tracking in Observium to be broken and unusable. Adam.

Strange issue
by DaZZa 24 Jul '13

24 Jul '13

Hi folks. I've been noticing a strange issue when using Observium in the last couple of days which has me scratching my head. Occasionally, when I am browsing devices, or device components, I'll get a graph or image which just comes up reading "no authorisation" or similar - and anything else I click on results in my being kicked back to the logon screen. I don't *think* it's an inactivity timeout - at the times I have noticed this happening I specifically noticed it because I was in the middle of doing something. Is there something else I could have misconfigured which would cause this behaviour? Thanks. DaZZa

Alerting Update
by Adam Armstrong 23 Jul '13

23 Jul '13

Morning Observiumites and Kickstarters. We're pleased to announce that we've reached a development milestone on the road to replacing all of our hated monitoring applications. The last 2 weeks spent in Amsterdam collaborating on the alerting system have been immensely productive, thanks to the great visionaries Maarten Moerman of eBay and Job Snijders of Atrato, we would like to thank them for their continuous support, Coke Zero and Appelkoeks. The fundamental schema for the alerting system have been defined and a basic working framework written. This week will be spent further improving and bug-fixing the framework so that we can move on to writing a UI to easily change the alert rule sets and associations. We'll provide some further details on how the system works soon! Thanks, Adam Armstrong - Project Leader

When I try to login with wrong user/pass it wasy login invalid, but with the real login details nothing happens, no error, just gets me to login page again. I use RHEL6 and i did everything from the guide. Tried with both Apache and nginx, same error. error_log empty. How could I debug this further? I know DB is created successfully and admin users loaded to the mysql table sucessfully. Any help wold be appreciated.

Event Logs Broken and Empty
by Michael Davies 23 Jul '13

23 Jul '13

Hi All, At some stage a wee back, a couple of months ago I think, something broke all the event log bits in Observium. I vaguely remember it breaking after one of the sql updates that took a long time to run on the eventlog table, but I'm not certain about that. Example images: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/106803/work/observium1.PNG https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/106803/work/observium2.PNG Table looks like this: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/106803/work/eventlog.txt What might be the best way to fix this up? I'm not worried about any historical data so it's fine if emptying out that DB table is the fix. Thoughts?

VPS root devices in snmpd.conf
by Shaun Bradley 22 Jul '13

22 Jul '13

Hi Guys, me again I've googled for this but not found anything much, and I know it's not entirely observium-related but is there any way of specifying a different root device in snmpd.conf? I have a few VPS hosted systems and the root devices are different, some are /dev/simfs, others are /dev/xvda1 etc. Obviously this just produces a broken graph in observium so I'm wondering if there is a way of setting it and then having it picked up. Many thanks for any pointers. Shaun

SNMPv3-Only Discovery/Polling

The snmpd.conf should grand the user full Readonly rights as I didn't specify any SubID to the user. Is this known? Is there a way around? Is there any example of a working snmpv3-only setup?

Collectd minigraphs on front page
by Frank Ortmann 18 Jul '13

Hello We make fairly heavy use of the collectd capabilities of Observium. It really is a great feature for us. I have been investigating adding mini graphs to the front page. The guide helped me add graphs from SNMP-gathered data, but I was unable to add graphs from our collectd list. The current implementation requires an ID and a TYPE. Unfortunately, the collectd chart dos not contain these keys (see below). <IP>/graphs/type=device_collectd/device=15/c_plugin=<FOLDER_NAME>/c_type=counter/c_type_instance=<COUNTER_NAME>/to=1374136448/from=1374050048/ Has anyone been able to do this?

Hi I was running observium successfully since last one year. Recently i migrated my running setup to new server, everything works fine except when i click on ports and inventory options from menu i get server error. I have checked apache log but nothing found except message "File does not exist: /opt/observium/html/favicon.ico" Any clue how can i figure out what went wrong?

Incorrect speed of interfaces reported by Observium
by Xavier Beaudouin 15 Jul '13

15 Jul '13

Hi there, I dunno if it is already an asked question, but it seems on linux that Observium insist to report links to 10Mbps instead of the real speed. Is there any hack / hint about tell Observium the interface is 1Gps or 10Gps to avoid false alarms ? Kind regards, Xavier

Support for SNMP Informant on Windows?
by Jared Beaulieu 14 Jul '13

14 Jul '13

Hi, First of all, awesome tool. I've been using it for about a month now and it's really helped isolate system and network issues. Keep up the great work! I was very happy to donate to the kickstarter project as well. We have a wide variety of platforms that we monitor including Windows but the default Windows SNMP stack leaves a lot to be desired. I've used SNMP Informant in the past and was wondering if Observium does or will support this product. Thanks, Jared

Re: [Observium] brocade snmp support

Foundry/brocade support should be quit good. I added support for mem/CPU ages ago. Brocade's own stuff will have no support except standard MIBs at the moment. :-) Adam.

Mouse over popups modal proposal
by Lucian Paiusescu 14 Jul '13

14 Jul '13

Hello, I don't know if this was already discussedso far, but I wanted to proposea more efficient way of displaying popupsinstead of mouseover (ref: $config['web_mouseover']). Popups should be displayed in a jquery modal style when someone clicksan object likean interface or device, etc. In that way the popup would be displayed properly on the center of the screen and not in the right-bottomof the mouse's position.Well, it would be a nice featureto have the posibility to switch between this two behaviourson mouseover or modal. Best regards, Lucian.
