Hello, Quick question about the new interface. All 'toolbars' now seem to have an arrow. When I hover over them, should that normally open a list?

zfs file system size wrong listed
by Mihai - Cristian Satmarean 20 Mar '13

20 Mar '13

Hi all, I have a zfs filesystem on OpenIndiana that is 25 TB and occupancy is around 90%. Observium correctly recognizes most of the OpenIndiana features, but the size of this filesystem is reported around 1.5 Tb. Is there something I can do to fix it? Thank you!

Plz need suppor ...
by Rizwan Tw1 17 Mar '13

17 Mar '13

Hi all, Can any one please confirm about the mentioned below detials are supported over observium . - Interface monitoring ( All ypes of pors as STM's, FE , GE , XGE , etc - device statisics (CPU, Memory , etc ) - IPSLA MIB support - QOS/COS support - RRD suuport - Format of files relaed to data of graphs - VPN/neighbour prefix details - Status of Routing protocols -How much of Hardware requirement will be needed for monitoring of about 50 Routers along with 150 L3/L2 switches considering polling time for about 5 min. As an average routers have about 20 ports nd L3 switches with about 40 ports eachs, nd layer switches have 25 ports. - How actually network discovery works for observium ? I mean do I have to just enable SNMP with same community and same Snmp version on all my devices so that observium can discover my whole network and does observium also show me the whole map for my network ( connectivity b/w my devices) and most important do i need to make any device as Seed device for my network ? from which it will automatically penetrate to whole network...Further more after discovering of my device can i filter those graphs so that I can only plot useful or main graphs - Can I also make groups to those graphs I mean is it possible that I can make a separate tab for my roters and the \n separate tab for switches etc. Thanks Muhammad Rizwan Azher

Application Stats

Hi!, what's the state of application data collection?. I had stats for mysql and apache on my original install, but after it's reincarnation the application collection doesn't seem to work any more, was that moved to the unix agent? We would like to include application counters to observium and most of them are custom developments. Today we have cacti installs everywhere, but having all that info in one place would be great.

Better for you, perhaps. Our policy is not to spoon feed information we have already provided in the install documentation. If you are not capable of following it, you should not be using observium. We only have limited time to work on the project and do not believe supporting lazy users is an efficient use of that time.

Poller performance
by Ciro Iriarte 16 Mar '13

16 Mar '13

Hi!, I've been running Observium on SLES11 for almost a year. This was on a 8 vCPU + 2GB RAM VMware guest with a 30GB RRD footprint. After adding about 320 new hosts (all of them, network gear) the RRD database went to 130GB and the little machine got peaks of 3k IOPS. The I/O wait was rather hi and the machine would suddently stop responding (Hypervisor stats showed 0% CPU usage). So, I've migrated the installation to a physical machine running Solaris 11 (I know, it's not supported) and without any tunning (mysql/zfs are candidates) I'm seeing polling of 41 devices in about an hour. Is this usual/expected? -- ./poller.php 0/24 February 13, 2013, 18:27 - 27 devices polled in 4048. secs ./poller.php 7/24 February 13, 2013, 18:27 - 27 devices polled in 4075. secs ./poller.php 0/24 February 13, 2013, 18:28 - 27 devices polled in 3803. secs ./poller.php 22/24 February 13, 2013, 18:28 - 27 devices polled in 4404. secs ./poller.php 3/24 February 13, 2013, 18:28 - 28 devices polled in 4417. secs -- IOPS climbed to 5k, comments?

Smokeping Integration
by Tim Calvin 16 Mar '13

16 Mar '13

Trying to get some assistance on integrating Smokeping into Observium. Unable to get the ping tab to appear under my devices. I have read the documentation and seem to have everything in order. Not sure if it is just the way I have the devices named or something else. Smokeping's html files are located at: /var/www/smokeping/ I have edited Observium's config.php to include the following: $config['smokeping']['dir'] = "/var/www/smokeping/"; Observium is using identical hostnames to the ones from the Smokeping config snippet below. I can access the Smokeping webpage and can verify it is working properly. Am I missing something? + dlls-asr9k_tlsn_net host = dlls-asr9k.tlsn.net + sant-asr9k_tlsn_net host = sant-asr9k.tlsn.net + mdld-asr9k_tlsn_net host = mdld-asr9k.tlsn.net Thanks in advance. Tim

Verifying timeouts
by Bryan Socha 15 Mar '13

15 Mar '13

We've been using observium for well over a year now and extrememly happy with it. We have devices all over the world and recently started to see some strange reboot, high cpu loads and device up/down messages when the devices appear to be ok I recently noticed it seems to be the ones further away. I noticed the log really doesn't specify anything specific and my php skills are not up to snuff so I was wondering how would one go about verifying if we are seeing timeouts on the polling to know the best way to rectify the situation we are experiencing. Can someone verify is say the timeout of a cpu poll would actually how max cpu load? Thanks, Bryan

First of all, thank you for the gr8 product and keep up the good work :) I am using observium in a small infrastructure (ESXi servers and linux appliances with snmp enabled) and I am facing two problems: -monitoring ESXi performance metrics - those are not exposed via snmp, so I have installed VMware CIM binaries to query the host machines. However, I am not aware how to pass data to observium afterwards and get a performance graph. -graphing data from a custom snmp OID ( snmp exec or extend) Thanks in advance!

SysUptime issue
by Mike Richardson 09 Mar '13

09 Mar '13

Hiya, We've noticed that Observium is reporting that devices have rebooted even though they haven't. It's happening at the 496 day mark and so we're assuming that this is related to the 32bit SysUptime counter limitation. I noticed though that there is a section of code which says: // Use snmpEngineTime (68 year rollover) to cross-reference for false // positives in device rebooting due to sysUpTime rollover issues so I presume this ought not be happening. I can appreciate that this is a difficult one to test. Or rather, it's easy to test but has a *really* long debug cycle :-) We're currently running 0.13.2.3559. Here's the output from a device which observium recently reported as having rebooted: SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB::snmpEngineTime.0 = INTEGER: 43016530 DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (6689166) 18:34:51.66 If you want any more information just ask. Given the number of devices we have with uptimes around 496 days we can probably do a test every few days.

Poller debugging
by Jason Lixfeld 07 Mar '13

07 Mar '13

Hi, I've checked around for some docs on this subject but I'm coming up empty. Not sure if I'm looking in the wrong spot or if they just don't exist. I'm noticing the odd gap in all graphs for a particular device, and only that device. The two gaps in the last 24 hours seem to have lasted about 15 and 30 minutes, respectively. This is the first time I've seen these gaps on this device, but I did upgrade the code on this box last week. I'm convinced it's a software issue on the router I'm polling, but I need some ammo for the vendor. To that end, I'd like to enable some debugging that will show what the poller is reporting (or not reporting) when it hits this device. My hope is to catch something useful in the debugs that I can bring to the vendor. Any hits appreciated. Thanks!

Platform change on existing device
by Florian Hibler 07 Mar '13

Hi everyone, we just replaced one of our core routers and therefore changed platform from Cisco to Juniper. Whilst the interfaces got discovered correctly, Observium does not detect the change of the device/platform itself. Also the full discovery, which runs every few hours did not notice. Is there a way to rediscover a device without deleting it or will there be any feature like "platform change detected" during the full discover in future?

Juniper BGP Prefix Graphing Issue
by Joe Wooller 07 Mar '13

07 Mar '13

Hey Guys, I have just started using Observium, so far I think it's great! (Good work) I have however stumbled across an issue with BGP Prefixes on my Juniper J2320. When I do a debug on discovery.php and poller.php (after adding the host) it appears that it is extracting the correct information for jnxBgpM2PrefixInPrefixesAccepted and jnxBgpM2PrefixInPrefixesRejected for both IPv4 and IPv6, however it only seems to graph the prefixes from only 1 of my peers (they have 2 ipv4 and 1 ipv6 session with me) so I am seeing graphs for these 3, but not any others. In the debug information I am also only seeing an update for the graphs that are working. (Obviously) SQL[UPDATE `bgpPeers_cbgp` set `AcceptedPrefixes` ='58',`DeniedPrefixes` ='0',`PrefixAdminLimit` ='',`PrefixThreshold` ='',`PrefixClearThreshold` ='',`AdvertisedPrefixes` ='3103',`SuppressedPrefixes` ='',`WithdrawnPrefixes` ='' WHERE `device_id` = '7' AND bgpPeerIdentifier = 'x.x.x.x' AND afi = 'ipv4' AND safi = 'unicast'] RRD[/usr/bin/rrdtool create /opt/observium/rrd/rs1/cbgp-x.x.x.x.ipv4.unicast.rrd DS:AcceptedPrefixes:GAUGE:600:U:100000000000 \ DS:DeniedPrefixes:GAUGE:600:U:100000000000 \ DS:AdvertisedPrefixes:GAUGE:600:U:100000000000 \ DS:SuppressedPrefixes:GAUGE:600:U:100000000000 \ DS:WithdrawnPrefixes:GAUGE:600:U:100000000000 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:2016 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:6:1440 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:24:1440 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:288:1440 RRA:MIN:0.5:1:720 RRA:MIN:0.5:6:1440 RRA:MIN:0.5:24:775 RRA:MIN:0.5:288:797 RRA:MAX:0.5:1:720 RRA:MAX:0.5:6:1440 RRA:MAX:0.5:24:775 RRA:MAX:0.5:288:797 RRA:LAST:0.5:1:1440 ] OK u:0.00 s:0.01 r:14.58 RRD[update /opt/observium/rrd/rs1/cbgp-x.x.x.x.ipv4.unicast.rrd N:58:0:3103::] I see this for all 3 sessions the peer has, but for none of the others. I am not sure where to start debugging this further. Any help would be greatly appreciated? Cheers Joe

Hi all, I don't know whether Observium support IE or not, but when I run it in IE I got permission denied as shown below: All the menus are functioning normally. I already dig the log file but nothing related to this message. Can I assume this message safely to ignore? Rgds, -dewo-

Traffic bills
by Mattias Gyllenvarg 07 Mar '13

07 Mar '13

Hi Adam About the traffic Bills. After a month is billing period is completed will the data be preserved even if interfaces are added/removed from the billing? The reason I ask is that it is a hassle too keep track of aggregated usage of things like Peering/Infrastructure/Transit as you constantly upgrade and move things around. So, perhaps a snapshot could be taken at certain points too keep this data? Pipedream? -- *Med Vänliga Hälsningar - Best Regards* *Mattias Gyllenvarg* *Nätutveckling* Bredband2 Tel: +46 406219712

These are warnings you can ignore them. They should be disabled in the php config. Ciro Iriarte <cyruspy(a)gmail.com> wrote: >_______________________________________________ >observium mailing list >observium(a)observium.org >http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium

Hi!, is it possible that there's some new memory requirements introduced with the last UI changes?. I can only make the main page load with PHP parameter memory_limit = 512M, before that it was working with 96M. Regards, -- Ciro Iriarte http://cyruspy.wordpress.com --

Aruba feature request
by Mike Richardson 05 Mar '13

05 Mar '13

What would be handy for us is to have graphs of not just the number of clients on our Aruba M3 controllers, but the number of .1x clients and the number of captive portal clients. This could either be separate graphs or combined with the 'number of clients' graphs. Don't mind really. The OID for .1x clients is .1.3.6.1.4.1.14823.2.2.1.4.1.4.1.0 and for CP clients is .1.3.6.1.4.1.14823.2.2.1.4.1.4.3.0 Thanks, Mike -- Mike Richardson Networks (network(a)manchester.ac.uk) IT Services, University of Manchester *Plain text only please - attachments stripped on arrival*
