Re: [Observium] Custom port service type?
by Robert Williams 15 May '13

15 May '13

Hi Paul, That’s excellent thanks! I've just extended that array to include all our (already labelled, thankfully) ports for various service types and it's worked brilliantly. One question, I don't suppose there is an 'easy' way to add a category which is made of up two other port types? Like with the default "Peering & Transit" group? Cheers :) Robert Williams Custodian Data Centre Email: Robert(a)CustodianDC.com http://www.CustodianDC.com -----Original Message----- From: observium [mailto:observium-bounces@observium.org] On Behalf Of Paul Orrock Sent: 15 May 2013 06:00 To: Observium Network Observation System Subject: Re: [Observium] Custom port service type? Hi, I've just supplied a patch to the nav bar (commit 4004) that will pick up anything you put followed by a colon and display it as a group under the ports menu. So I have a bunch of ports which have descriptions which start ESXData: Inter: Mgmt: etc and now those headings appear as groups under the port menu automatically when you add them to the config file with $config['int_groups'] = array("EsxData","EsxMgmt","Inter"); If your existing ports don't start with something like that then you'll need to create a custom port description parser which will pull out the type from however you have it laid out in your port descriptions. I took the opportunity to re-label all my 330 ports into a better structure and just use the standard parser but the custom parser is easy enough if you can write regular expressions. regards, Paul On 15/05/2013 02:08, Jason Lixfeld wrote: > > On 2013-05-14, at 5:59 PM, Tom Laermans <tom.laermans(a)powersource.cx> wrote: > >> On 14/05/2013 23:45, Jason Lixfeld wrote: >>> My port naming convention for core ports doesn't follow the "Core:" spec required by Observium.

Smokeping / Ping Tab - 3rd Graph?
by Robert Williams 14 May '13

14 May '13

Hi, Just setup Smokeping integration (and generated targets using Michiel’s groovy script – thanks!). Anyway, it’s all working fine for all the hosts but I’m not sure what the 3rd graph on the Ping tab is meant to show, called localhost. It appears on every single host’s “Ping” tab. Have I just failed to configured a hostname *somewhere* or is this graph meant to display something else? When you click on it you just get an “Insufficient Permissions” message, image attached for reference. Any input or pointers as to what I’ve done wrong are welcome – cheers :) [cid:image001.png@01CE4E68.90BE29B0] Robert Williams Custodian Data Centre Email: Robert(a)CustodianDC.com http://www.CustodianDC.com

{For the Devs} Asterisk Monitoring

Hello Devs, I have done some work on Asterisk monitoring for Observium. I had an off-list chat with Adam to help me complete the work and to get the patch applied to Observium. I think he got busy with other work (or just ignoring me :) - it's all good ) so I am looking for someone to help me get this into Observium. I have an almost working code base, I just need some help in getting the graphs to display and perhaps some other work. I can give you access to an Asterisk box via SNMP, a static IP will be required. I am also willing to do the coding, I just need some guidance :) Feel free to contact me off list. Thanks, Pieter

Re: [Observium] Getting wierd spike graph

Its not obvious what the problem is. The spikes seem to be evenly spaced, which is odd. Its likely either a bug in the switch SNMP stack which is returning zero or referring to the 32bit counters, or a network congestion issue caused by a crown job. Do all of the devices have the same software versions? Adam.

Checkpoint Firewall Support?
by Steve Costaras 08 May '13

08 May '13

I'm just starting to look at observium for some monitoring. I see that it supports cisco based firewalls (ASA/PIX) but it does not currently support checkpoint. Checkpoint mainly runs on top of redhat linux. I'm able to get the general linux stats but not the firewall specific stats (connections/vpn/etc) similar to what's available with the cisco asa support. Basically, I'm asking if anyone has managed to get this to work. Or barring that, any information as to how to add support? Steve

Hey anyone upgraded to debian7 and noticed interrupts raised like 10x times? At first I though it server specific issue, but when I upgraded completely different hardware and noticed same thing even w/o booting into new kernel. So we had at one server about 160 and now 1700, and other server 280 now 1800. Also context switches increased 5-6 times from 500 to 3,5K now.

Quick question on Brocade VLAN interfaces
by Aaron Mayfield 30 Apr '13

30 Apr '13

I'm running Brocade CER routers in my network at the moment. VLAN interfaces on Brocade are implemented as ve interfaces. Brocade for some reason decided not to implement interface counters for ve interfaces on the CES/CERs, so of course I don't get any utilization graphs for these interfaces. Is anyone out there running MLX or XMR? Out of morbid curiosity, do the VLAN interface octet/packet counters work on them? Thanks

Can't add first host
by Dan McGurk 30 Apr '13

30 Apr '13

I have tried twice now to set this up, unsuccessfully. I have followed the walk-through for Debian/ubuntu as best I can but still can't get anything to work. I shouldn't say anything. I DO get the webpage and can log in with the user I set-up in the walk-through via command. When I go to the "Add Device" page I get a webpage error at the bottom. I have copied and pasted it here: Webpage error details User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; Trident/4.0; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; SLCC2; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; .NET4.0C; Tablet PC 2.0; .NET4.0E) Timestamp: Tue, 30 Apr 2013 19:14:18 UTC Message: Expected identifier, string or number Line: 40 Char: 9 Code: 0 URI: http://xx.xx.233.26/addhost/ Message: Invalid character Line: 455 Char: 1 Code: 0 URI: http://xx.xx.233.26/addhost/ Also, when I go to the main page, underneath Devices and Ports..there is a red graphical rectangle with "Permission Denied x" Any ideas or thoughts would be much appreciated!

Linux agent port change
by Adam Armstrong 30 Apr '13

30 Apr '13

Hi All, I've just changed the default port for the agent from the check_mk port to a port matching our enterprise id, 36602. There's an example script in scripts/observium_agent_xinetd for xinetd. You can now just use the agent script from scripts/observium_agent. Put it into /usr/bin/observium_agent, as matching the xinetd file. Create a /usr/lib/observium_agent directory and a /usr/lib/observium_agent/local directory. Put the agent scripts you want to run in the local directly. To test it, use "telnet localhost 36602". We're still working on a method of keeping the agent up to date on clients :) For the time being the poller will check both the /new/ port and the original check_mk port, but this will be removed in the future. adam.

User interface access error
by ColoCenter bv 29 Apr '13

29 Apr '13

Hi all, I give my customers access to observium so they can view the traffic from my switch to their network through their port. This used to work great, but now users can't view their port anymore. I get some access denied errors. Giving access to a device still works, to a single interface not. I don't know since what version this bug exists, my customers don't check their traffic every day. Another issue is that in the "all devices" and "all ports" sections they can see all devices that are being monitored by observium, even if they don't have access to it. A small security issue here. Can these issues be fixed? First one has my priority, second one would be nice. Kind regards, -- Alexander Lantink ColoCenter bv http://www.colocenter.nl info(a)colocenter.nl

Hmm. Just recently someone tested this and these issues weren't there. I am thinking of stripping out the complex permissions system altogether. Adam.

This is all done in rrdtool, so purely graphical initially. It is possible to extract this kind of data from rrdtool in numerical form, but it's quite slow, certainly too slow to do in the poller. Also, I would say in this instance you would set a warning at 75%. Much easier :) Adam.
