mysql app
by andres fariña 08 Jul '13

08 Jul '13

Hi all, Please give a help here, I´m adding mysql app to a host. I have configured the agent at host and telnet to 36602 is ok. I also enabled unix-agent at modules for that host And I see it at polling: [mysql] => a0:4033341 a1:4020805 a2:120 a3:120 ... But I still get no images, just the message "Error drawing graph". What could be missing here? Thanks, Andrés

Bulk Addition of Hosts?
by David Lagace 08 Jul '13

08 Jul '13

Hello, I'm new to Observium and coming from Zenoss I have to say I love the simplicity and completeness of all the information available. I'm just stuck on one issue. I've added the hosts I want to monitor to the /etc/hosts file and have successfully added a few hosts manually. I've been reading through the wiki and looking through google and can't seem to find a way to bulk import hosts. I tried to script it in the following way (please don't hurt me I'm not much of a coder) for file in `cat routerdt1`; do ./addhost.php "$file" mycomm v2c; done But keep getting: Could not resolve i504562 i504562 being one of the hosts in the list routerdt1. If I run the addhost.php script manually it works. ./addhost.php i504562 mycomm v2c Trying community mycomm ... Discovering i545973 (42)i545973 42 ios (cisco) (etc etc) The file routerdt1 is in the format: I553476 I553500 I553364 I553173 I553274 I542788 I554040 I554398 I554488 Is there a way to take my list and add them into Observium? Am I missing something where there could be an auto add function? Thanks for your help on this, looking forward to using this product more. --Dave

[ip_nets] => Array
by Jordan Paschalidis 08 Jul '13

08 Jul '13

Hello, i recently installed observium and it is amazing. There is one thing i found under "Global Settings". [autodiscovery] => Array ( ... [ip_nets] => Array ( [0] => 127.0.0.0/8 [1] => 192.168.0.0/16 [2] => 10.0.0.0/8 [3] => 172.0.0.0/8 ) Shouldn't the Entry "172.0.0.0/8" be "172.16.0.0/12" ? I know that the question " Can the monitoringintervall be changed, e.g. 5 min to 1 min" was already answered and the answer was "No". I just wanted to note that this is really sad, because 5 min is quite long for a fast changing parameter like Ethernet. We were monitoring a Gigabit-link with different intervalls ( cacti ) , with 5 min, 1 min and 10 sec The results are really surprising. For a special intervall of 40 min with Peaks the result was with 5min-monitoring 200 Mbit/s 1min-monitoring 350 Mbit/s 10sec-monitoring 610 Mbit/s -- Jordan Paschalidis *** XCOM AG Legal Disclaimer *** Diese E-Mail einschliesslich ihrer Anhaenge ist vertraulich und ist allein für den Gebrauch durch den vorgesehenen Empfaenger bestimmt.

Publish single graphs without authentication
by Stephan Dahlmann 08 Jul '13

08 Jul '13

Hi, I am looking at Observium as an alternative / addition to Cacti and it looks really nice so far. One thing I do with Cacti is publish single graphs of bandwidth on core routers and switches to websites (or wikis), so that other people can see that current usage very fast without having to access Cacti. This works by giving a guest (means: no login) read access and then just using the URL for the graph (e.g. .../graph_image.php?local_graph_id=330). The last part is as easy in Observium (../graph.php?type=port_bits&id=150&height=200&width=600), but I don't think there is an easy option to do this without authentication. Any idea on how to accomplish this? Thanks

Here is a hack to get JunOS (potentially others?) to work via leveraging the pseudo Entity-MIB construct from SNMP::Info Bit nasty as you may need to ensure the MIBs required by SNMP::Info are available someone in your mibdirs I'm not overly impressed with the output of this, and at some stage will probably see if it can be improved.

Hello All, Just a note a have a site in Trenton, MI not Trenton, NJ its listing them in NJ area on the Map. All my nodes have City,State IE Trenton, MI just something you might want to look at. Also it would be cool to have the ability to limit the map to a "area" like for me just the USA. I just use solarwinds for Alerting and everything else is Observium but it would be nice to have the map not show all the countries. Keep up the great work the new layout looks GREAT! Mike

IP SLA

27 Jun '13

Hi. IP SLA is not showing any data in the graphs. I have found information of this problem before in the list but no solutions only others having similar problems. Everything looks ok from debug output, snmpwalk is getting ip sla data, rrds is being updated, SLA tab is there, graph with are showing up but with no data ! When doing a "rrdtool dump sla-1.rrd" I find data with future timestamps ?!  <row><v>1.3000000000e+01</v></row>  <row><v>6.0586666667e+01</v></row>  <row><v>6.1000000000e+01</v></row> No other rrd archive is showing future timestamps with data. My rrd knowledge is not very good but I suspect that there might be a connection with graphs not showing data ? My Observium installation work as expected except for IP SLA. Doing daily svn updates. Thankful for anybody that can help solving this. Mikael Fäldtman

Geographically distributed pollers with poller-wrapper.py
by Michael Hsu 26 Jun '13

26 Jun '13

The problem is that the pollers write to rrd's local to the poller box and observium isn't written in a way where these can be easily distributed. I wrote the patch that added that comment as that was my goal. I tested using parallel rsync methods as well as using glusterfs replicated filesystem across multiple datacenters but couldn't get my polling runs + syncing to complete within 5 minute runs (quickest I could get were 8 minute runs writing to about 16,000+ rrds). I have a large number of ports however so smaller installations could probably work. I wonder what the plans are for being able to distribute observium across multiple hosts, geographically or not. Or if anyone else has attempted this. What would be great would be the option to use something like graphite for the graphing backend so pollers could just send data to graphite and observium could use graphite to create the graphs for the web interface. >On 2013-06-24 14:46, Benjamin Abadie wrote: >> Hi, >> I'm reading the following as a comment in poller-wrapper.py : >> >> Additionally, if a hostname wildcard is passed, add it to the where >> clause.

Problem with geolocation
by Joniel Gagné-Laurin 26 Jun '13

26 Jun '13

Hi everyone, Been using for some time Observium as a potential replacement for our reporting system and we are now ready to put in production our server but I'm stuck at the moment. I know some people had this issue in the past and some fix were put in place but it doesn't work for me. On a newly installed server, when I try to add a host by addhost.php, the mysql insert query is not going through because the location_geoapi is empty. The easiest way of dealing would be to just allow null value or put a default value, but I would like to have a clean solution as we will use it for production. I don't know if there is something missing in my setup or what, but something I'm sure, the request to get the geo location doesn't go out as I don't see anything on my proxy. So, can someone can help me here? I can provide some debugging if you need more information. Fantastic product by the way, loving it.

Adding new OS and types of devices
by Jon Auer 24 Jun '13

24 Jun '13

1) I have some devices that aren't known to Observium that I'd like to track. I've followed the instructions at http://observium.org/wiki/Developing/NewOS and made a new OS type for Ubiquiti EdgeOS routers. Diff here: http://www.tapodi.net/~jda/dev/edgeos.diff <http://www.tapodi.net/%7Ejda/dev/edgeos.diff> Did I do that correctly, and if so, how do I contribute it back into Observium? 2) Is there a preferred way to handle point to multipoint aggregation devices such as DSLAMs, GPON OLTs, and Wireless APs where you have client signal levels, modulation, etc? In particular I'd like to add support for Ubiquiti and Canopy APs where one would track multiple metrics for each associated client in addition to metrics from the device itself. E.g. Stats for the downlink can be gathered from the AP, but uplink has to be gathered from the client radios. Clients are only loosely associated with APs (they are discovered through a AP, can migrate to other APs, and don't have a static IP address). Client devices like this break the hostname-required rule but perhaps it isn't mandatory if they are discovered via the AP? <http://observium.org/wiki/Developing/NewOS>

Re: [Observium] Exclude interfaces with empty ifDescr
by Joe Hoh 19 Jun '13

19 Jun '13

Adam, You are right - I have confused ifAlias with ifDescr. Let's say that I have 1,000 Ethernet ports on Access Switches that are for desktop/laptop connections. These are going to be up/down randomly and I don't care. I don't want to investigate bandwidth or errors on them individually ALL of the time. I only want to do this when I am investigating a problem. I cannot Admin Down these interfaces - users need to use them I don't want to gather stats on them - because of storage/overhead/long polling I don't want to manage ifAliases on them - what would I name them - users move and come and go all of the time. I want to include uplinks and crosslinks and the device details only - not the end-user ports. I just want to exclude them from Observium as 'Ignored' How can I do that? Joe

Hello Mike Robbert, thanks for your reply the solution for me is stop SNMP polling of my HP Switch Ports ? or stop all SNMP polling for all devices connected on my HP Switch ? thanks, Rodrigo Araujo ITMNETWORKS

Re: [Observium] Exclude interfaces with empty ifDescr

You are confusing ifDescr and ifAlias. This is a strange thing to want to do, and against our design goals. Adam.

NFSEN name mapping
by Julian Rutz 19 Jun '13

19 Jun '13

Hello, I am running revision 4151 on debian 7.1 and I am trying integrate nfsen into observium. Unfortunately, the tab does not show up and if I try to manually access the nfsen-tab the graphs are empty with the error "Error Drawing Graph". The graphs are looking fine in the webinterface of nfsen. Therefor I suspect a problem with the name mapping. Hostname in Observium: ch-bb-r1.domain.tld file-names in $nfsen_rrds: ch-bb-r1.rrd root@observer:/opt/observium# cat config.php | grep nfsen $config['nfsen_enable'] = 1; $config['nfsen_rrds'] = "/opt/nfsen/profiles-stat/live/"; $config['nfsen_split_char'] = "_"; $config['nfsen_suffix'] = "_domain_tld"; Permissions should be fine as well: 1311140 2628 -rw-rw-r-- 1 www-data www-data 2687848 Jun 18 16:05 /opt/nfsen/profiles-stat/live/ch-bb-r1.rrd Can you see any obvious misconfiguration in here? Thanks in advance for your effort on this. Kind regards, Julian

Exclude interfaces with empty ifDescr
by Joe Hoh 18 Jun '13

18 Jun '13

We have discovered only 21 devices and have 3266 ports. We will have over 2,000 devices. I want to ignore ports where ifDescr is null or whitespace. Currently, I have: $config['bad_if_regexp'][] = array("/^$/","","/\A\s*+\z/"); This is _not_ working, or at least it is not working for EXISTING, DISCOVERED ports. Please show me the way! I want to be able to remove the ifDescr from the network gear and have it stop being monitored and vice-versa (add an ifDescr and have it start being monitored). Thanks! I'm sure I just have something messed up in the regex.

Health probe not added
by Hynek Med 17 Jun '13

17 Jun '13

Hi, I have noticed that there's no health (temperature, dBm) measurement for one of interfaces on a Cisco 6500. Other ports are measured, traffic and erros on this port is measured. How to fix that? How to re-add a device / force scan of health probes ? Thanks, Hynek -- Hynek Med PRO-ZETA a.s. Tiskarska 10/257 108 00 Praha 10 Czech Republic

Thankfully a publicly announced svn repository makes it virtually impossible for Trojans to be committed. Unlike tar.gz. Checkmate, naysayers! Adam.

does anybody success setup observium to query h3c devices?
by darkblue 17 Jun '13

I have a lot of h3c network gear to monitor, such as s5500, s3100 and F100E. but it seems that observium is not compatible with h3c's device.
