How to exclude some network interfaces?
by Sam Munzani 22 Apr '13

22 Apr '13

Hi, I deployed Observium over the weekend to try out. Reading through documents, I figured out how to exclude specific interface types. However trying to figure out how to exclude a specific interface? E.g. The list might be Fa0/30, Fa0/37, Gig0/9, Gig0/42. No contiguous interface. Thanks in advance, Sam

Observium VMs wrong OS version
by observium＠velder.li 21 Apr '13

21 Apr '13

Hi there In the virtual machine overview (ESXi Host..), the os version is not correct. I added the VM to observium, when squeeze 6.0.6 was installed. Now it is 6.0.7 (since a few weeks) but observium still says 6.0.6. Is that a bug? Regards, Patrick

IPMI weirdness

Hi All, For a while now it appears that all our devices which also have IPMI cards are seeing every single sensor added and deleted (in that order) on every poll.

Reset disk storage values on host
by Andrew Lynch 21 Apr '13

21 Apr '13

I recently changed the disk configuration on one of my monitored hosts. It seems like the discovery engine is pulling the stats incorrectly and applying them to the wrong disks. Is there an easy way (save for removing and re-adding the entire host) to flush the stats of the storage only? I don't care if it has to completely start from scratch.

Subifs no longer showing up for Cisco ASR9K/IOS-XR device after upgrade
by Stephen Fulton 21 Apr '13

21 Apr '13

Hi all, I've been using Observium since January, and I've mostly been happy with it. I upgraded to 0.13.4.3934 yesterday, and since then, none of the sub-interfaces on a ASR9K/IOS-XR 4.3.0 router are being collected. Originally I thought it was due to an upgrade error on my part, so I deleted the host and re-added it, but the sub-interfaces are not being seen and data not being collected. Let me know what information is needed, and I'll present it. -- Stephen

If you changed the RRD databases, they'd stop storing the normal datapoints, because they would be at the wrong resolution. Like I said, it can't currently be done. You could change the entire installation to be 1-minute, change the RRD template and delete all of the existing RRDs, but you wouldn't want to, because that would be a lot of load on your network and on the observium host. Also, your changes would likely be overwritten by a future update, then you'd be stuffed :) adam.

Observium Enterprise/Pro licensing
by Adam Armstrong 19 Apr '13

19 Apr '13

Hi All, At some point in the future it's likely that I'm going to split Observium into free and enterprise/pro variants. Observium has historically been developed as a fairly ad hoc project, with work being done as time permits between work projects. We've often had gaps of 6 months where there has been little work done due to other commitments. As the user-base expands this is going to become less and less viable a way of maintaining the project, and we need to be able to devote more time to keeping on top of bug reports and feature development. To be able to devote more time to the project we need to establish a revenue stream to be able to support it. We'd like comments from you guys about how we should go about splitting, what should be in each version, and what we should charge. We're considering: A hosts/ports-based licensing scheme, where you get a certain number free, and any more than that requires a license. A feature-based licensing scheme, where higher-value features such as load balancers, netapp, mac accounting, vpn tracking, etc require a license. Licensing for customer-access, where allowing customers access to the web interface requires a license. What pricing models do you think would work? Options for the ent/pro version include using the honour system, maintaining a separate password-protected SVN repository or distributing an ioncube-protected version. I would prefer to go the honour system route, but I'm not sure how well that would work. Thanks, adam.

polling interval
by J Z 19 Apr '13

19 Apr '13

Long-time user and lurker. Many thanks to Adam and those who volunteer their time on this awesome project. I was wondering if there was a way to modify the polling interval (aside from modifying the crontab entry). I know that there was a lot of work that had to be done to decrease the polling interval from 5 to 1 minutes in Cacti, so I imagine it's not as simple as simply changing the crontab entry for Observium to monitor a switch's traffic utilization every 60 seconds. Has anyone successfully done this? Is there something simple I'm missing to get this to work? Many thanks!

APC UPS and remaining Runtime
by Chris Blake 19 Apr '13

19 Apr '13

Hello, Not sure if I am doing this right (using the mailing list) so please don't kill me if I am. I currently have a APC UPS SMT2200RM2U, and I just recently added it to my Observium panel vi SNMP v2c. I see it logs everything from the current load to battery temp, but I am kind of surprised it does not log Battery Run Time Remaining. I checked in the latest APC powernet.mib file, and there is a function to call this. So, I updated the /opt/observium/mib/apc/powernet.mib to the latest version, but observium still does not log or show the remaining run time, which leads me to believe it is not coded into the script. Just wondering if this is a plan for the future, or am I doing everything wrong? Thanks, Chris B

Polling Rate on a 3750 Stack
by Michael Sweikata 18 Apr '13

18 Apr '13

Is anyone else having huge response times in their polling of a Cisco 3750 stack? I've increased the number of pollers I have to something close to 17, but my 3750s seem to take forever to respond (anywhere between 200 - 999.99+ seconds). It may be an issue on my 3750s, but my polling intervals on my devices is several hours. I have 2950s and 6509s that don't seem to have any issue responding in a short amount of time (<20 seconds).

Re: [Observium] Observium Enterprise/Pro licensing
by Adam Armstrong 16 Apr '13

16 Apr '13

For the port-based model we would likely exclude virtual ports. It would likely only exist to catch users with 8 vss and 10k ports :-) In terms of support and development, we would likely push all new feature development to the commercial version. Support and feature requests from licensees would be prioritised too. This is already the case for our existing commercial sponsor. Roughly 50% of development work is directly requested features from them. We certainly want to keep the free version usable, and we don't want to separate the code bases, as that would slow progress a lot. I think the balance between keeping everything usable and maintaining a carrot to encourage people to license will be difficult. Pricing is also difficult to decide on. If the majority of users won't pay, it will be higher than if we have more licensees. If every user paid $10, we would probably be fine. I suspect not even 5% will be willing to pay, though. Adam.

Re: [Observium] Observium Enterprise/Pro licensing

I suppose and important question would be, given a realistic pricing model, how many of you would, in principle, pay for a license, and how many of you would make do with whatever remains free? Adam.

Access denied to fabric graphs
by Robert Williams 14 Apr '13

Hi, Got an odd one here, suddenly we are getting access denied to all 6500/7600 fabric graphs on all devices: [cid:image001.png@01CE3697.EBD353E0] When you click on the * graph you get: [cid:image002.png@01CE3697.EBD353E0] From the URL: http://<servername>/graphs/to=1365669262/device=43/mod=1/chan=0/type=c6kxbar_util/from=1365582862/<http://%3cservername%3e/graphs/to=1365669262/device=43/mod=1/chan=0/type=c6kxbar_util/from=1365582862/> We auto SVN update, so I can’t be certain exactly when this broke, but I’m pretty sure it was ok a few days ago. I’m logged in as “admin” and have never changed (or even really looked at) the permissions page, but here is a screenshot in case I’ve failed to add something I’m meant to: [cid:image003.png@01CE3698.81307AD0] Any assistance much appreciated :) Cheers!

Pagination issue
by Michael Robbert 08 Apr '13

08 Apr '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I just noticed in our instance of Observium if we load the "Ports -> All ports" page it has a pagination selector at the top, but it appears to be showing all ports on one page rather than the 100 that appears to be the default. This was producing 500 errors until I increased the PHP memory to 1024M. Now it is grinding the browser to a crawl. Should this or could this page load only the first 100 entries by default? We have a similar problem with the inventory page, but it doesn't appear to have pagination enabled. I'd like to request that has an enhancement unless it is supposed to already be there and my instance is just messed up.

Graphs don't show

Hi All, At the moment I have an issue that some of my graphs dont show well and something in the overusage calculation as well. - I see no graph for overusage - I see no correct overusage. According to my system a client is using 2,58 Mbps (1 allowed) and the overusage is 2,58 Mbps as well. Is this a familiar issue ?

I might have remembered wrong. There is as graphs array populated by modules which defines things in the graphs tab. The ucd modules do this. The graph defs are a huge section in either defaults.inc.php or definitions.inc.php.

Drop it into an rrd and add in entry into $graps_enabled matching the graph type which will draw it. You also need a graph type def in definitions. Adam.

LDAP Configuration
by Michael Sweikata 02 Apr '13

02 Apr '13

Hey everyone; Answers so far have been wonderful. I've been pouring through the archives trying to find a good example for LDAP Authentication, and I believe I have the authentication portion working correctly, however security permissions in Observium aren't working correctly. If I provide the correct credentials, it lets me through but the main page has no content. If I provide incorrect credentials, it spits me back out to the login page. The structure of the containers is correct, the AD Security Group 'Network Ops' is the group our Network Management team uses, so I want us to have full access (level 10), and is located in (Canonical name): hh.nku.edu/NKU/HH/Groups/Security/Network Ops I've tried it with 'Domain Users' instead of 'Network Ops' but no dice there either. And yes, I have double-checked that my account is a member of the 'Network Ops' group, I didn't get fired today. My level 7 and level 1 groups have been commented out just to try and simplify any issues. My config.php (relevant portions) look like: // Authentication Model #Required LDAP Settings $config['auth_mechanism'] = "ldap"; $config['auth_ldap_version'] = 3; $config['auth_ldap_server'] = "nkuserv1.hh.nku.edu"; $config['auth_ldap_port'] = 389; $config['auth_ldap_starttls'] = "false"; #User Account $config['auth_ldap_prefix'] = "cn="; $config['auth_ldap_suffix'] = ",OU=Faculty_Staff,OU=Users,OU=HH,OU=NKU,DC=hh,DC=nku,DC=edu"; #Required Group Membership $config['auth_ldap_group'] = "cn=Network Ops,OU=Security,OU=Groups,OU=HH,OU=NKU,dc=hh,dc=nku,dc=edu"; $config['auth_ldap_groupbase'] = "ou=Security,ou=Groups,ou=hh,ou=nku,dc=hh,dc=nku,dc=edu"; #Optional LDAP Settings $config['auth_ldap_groups']['Network Ops']['level'] = 10; #$config['auth_ldap_groups']['Domain Admins']['level'] = 7; #$config['auth_ldap_groups']['Lab Admins']['level'] = 1; So, if anyone has any ideas or can help with this, it'd be greatly appreciated.

All counters. But we can't guarantee any of them exist at that point in the poller, or that they were ever greater than zero. Adam.

It comes from SNMP. What does the uptime graph show?
