JunOS Inventory
by Peter Childs 02 Jul '13

02 Jul '13

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. Perl into your install_dir/scripts etc… YMMV Cheers, Peter

The geolocation is performed by a third party, we have no way of influencing it. You could try switching to Google's geolocation. You can restrict the geochart to a single region, there is documentation on the wiki for that. Adam. "Michael F.

USA States not dected.
by Michael F. Kisser 27 Jun '13

27 Jun '13

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
by Fältman, Mikael 27 Jun '13

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

Hi list, On all the 4900M monitored, inlet and outlet temperature sensors from fixed and removable modules are not displayed as soon as a transceiver supporting DOM and reporting temperature is present in the chassis.

NFSEN name mapping

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?

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.

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

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.

SVN commit comments, overall usability of SVN code
by Sebastian Wiesinger 17 Jun '13

17 Jun '13

Hello, I'm testing out Observium and I like a lot of the things that Observium does. But what really irks me is the way and style of releasing new versions and committing to the SVN repository. 1) Commit messages. To quickly get a feel what changed between revisions I consult the svn log. That is the primary source of information. In the Observium SVN this often leads me to read things like this: r4147 - CODE, Y U NO LOOK RITE r4140 - Me need your soul, more souls. >:-> r4139 - you're not ready for this. :) r4125 - disable whatever the fuck that is r4101 - add some crappy errors And on and on. Things like that make me question the code quality that is committed to the repository. What kind of project do you want to be with these kind of commit messages? Mind you, I know that many people use cheeky or funny commit messages but normally they include some kind of explanation/context to see what has changed. That's missing here. This hurts the project. It projects an immature image. 2) Follow up to this: How is code quality review done? What are the procedures to decide when code is added to the repository and how do you make sure that the repository is stable for the majority of the users? Also I noticed that you do not separate code and HTML output which is another source of potential problems and accidental breakage. Is it planned to rewrite this to use a templating system?

JPGraph, accurate bills, image link broken
by Bart Teunis 12 Jun '13

12 Jun '13

To all, I updated my observium and found out that jpgraph is not coming with the SVN anymore. So I installed this according the instructions I found in my observium installation. Some how the link to the accurate img remains broken, so I could use some help with this, two questions: 1. Is this a known issue 2. How can I solve this Regards, Bart Teunis Bart Teunis | A2B Internet BV | +31 85 90 20 410 ( Office ) | +31 6 57 88 48 47 ( Dutch cell ) | <mailto:bteunis@a2b-internet.com> bteunis(a)a2b-internet.com |

AP Statistics from Cisco WLC
by Fletcher Haynes 11 Jun '13

11 Jun '13

Hello, Observium has been awesome so far...I am wondering if there are plans to support AP discovery and statistics from Cisco WiSMs? We have several hundred APs in lightweight mode we would like to monitor. If there are no current development efforts in that area, I may take a crack at it...

Inversing in and out
by Benjamin Abadie 10 Jun '13

10 Jun '13

Hi, I'm looking for a way to reverse in and out position in port graphs. That is, display positive values for outbound, and negative ones for inbound. It can be interesting for a CDN, which mostly send its data to other ASes (booooo ! ;] ) I found a variable "$inverse" which *seems* to do what I want to do : > /opt/observium 0 # grep --exclude-dir=".svn" -n -r "\$inverse" > html/includes/graphs/generic_multi_data.inc.php:48: if ($inverse) { $in = 'out'; $out = 'in'; } else { $in = 'in'; $out = 'out'; } > html/includes/graphs/generic_multi_bits.inc.php:39: if ($inverse) { $in = 'out'; $out = 'in'; } else { $in = 'in'; $out = 'out'; } > html/includes/graphs/generic_data.inc.php:28:if ($inverse) { $in = 'out'; $out = 'in'; } else { $in = 'in'; $out = 'out'; } > html/includes/graphs/multiport/bits_trio.inc.php:17: if (strstr($inverse, "a")) { $in = "OUT"; $out = "IN"; } else { $in = "IN"; $out = "OUT"; } > html/includes/graphs/multiport/bits_trio.inc.php:37: if (strstr($inverse, "b")) { $in = "OUT"; $out = "IN"; } else { $in = "IN"; $out = "OUT"; } > html/includes/graphs/multiport/bits_trio.inc.php:57: if (strstr($inverse, "c")) { $in = "OUT"; $out = "IN"; } else { $in = "IN"; $out = "OUT"; } > html/includes/graphs/multiport/bits_duo.inc.php:45:if ($inverse) { $in = 'out'; $out = 'in'; } else { $in = 'in'; $out = 'out'; } But setting it to true does not seem to change anything. Am I completely mistaken ? If not, how should I use this ? I know it's not an official feature (or I would have found a config option) but I'm just messing around a little with observium's code... ;) Regards, Benjamin Abadie

Setup problem
by Richard Davies 07 Jun '13

07 Jun '13

Hi I am looking to implement snmp monitoring for the servers and network devices we support. I am looking at opennms and observium, and have them both running, monitoring some of our internal servers and devices. Observium is running on debian 7 - Wheezy. I believe I followed the debian specific installation instructions exactly, and Observium is up and running. I have configured it to monitor 2 of our Windows servers, 2 LINUX servers, a cisco router and sonicwall firewall. The initial discovery seems to have worked. However the olling does not seem to be working from cron. Looking at the observium.log > /opt/observium/discovery.php new June 5, 2013, 15:25 - 0 devices > discovered in 0. > 006 secs > /opt/observium/discovery.php new June 5, 2013, 15:30 - 0 devices > discovered in 0. > 007 secs > /opt/observium/discovery.php new June 5, 2013, 15:35 - 0 devices > discovered in 0. > 005 secs > ... discovery is running from cron every 5 mins as expected, but there is no mention in the log of poller.php running. I am sure I have been stupid and am missing something simple. All the graphs have a title Error Drawing Graph, guess that is because there is no data. Any help and advice would be appreciated, where to look to resolve the issues. Richard

Its largely unreliable because it relies on parts of the poller code working properly when run as the apache process. We rarely test it, and a lot of that code is horrific to debug. Adam.

frontpage event status > 24h?
by Rob VanHooren 07 Jun '13

07 Jun '13

hi, is there a quick way to adjust the frontage status to show events longer than 24h? i.e., tweak the time period for this config.php:$config['frontpage']['device_status']['ports'] = true; // Show the down ports (Last 24 hours) to be longer. dont' care so much about ports, but more the larger transient events (e.g., device rebooted). anyone? thanks!
