Re: [Observium] New install of Observium; fails to add device
by Michael Sweikata 27 Mar '13

Sorry for the formatting issue, I had my mailing list set to bulk distributions, which I've changed, so I'm not replying to the latest messages. Okay, I'm not sure what the hell, but once I loaded up the net-snmp-utils it worked fine. So I'm assuming that some of the packages didn't load correctly. I'll re-install all of them just to see what happens. Thanks for the quick response Adam and Dean!

Issues with port alerts.
by List User 27 Mar '13

27 Mar '13

Hi there, I am a new user to Observium and seem to be having an issue with the options for "Ports" on a device. I currently have 2 devices hooked up, working fine. The problem is when I edit the device and go to edit the Threshold and PPS settings, they never save. I tried both the Save and Save changes button. I used this guide to install Observium (http://www.observium.org/wiki/Ubuntu_SVN_Installation). The only I changed was instead of doing addhost in the command line, I did it on the website instead. Other then that, I didn't touch anything else. The server is dedicated to Observium and is running Ubuntu 12.10 (32bit). I noticed the FAQ had an entry which seemed related (http://www.observium.org/wiki/FAQ#When_submitting_large_forms_such_as_port_…) but I didn't find that error in my PHP error logs. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thank you. PS. Sorry if this was brought up before, I also checked via Google, but it didn't show any relevant results.

New install of Observium; fails to add device
by Michael Sweikata 27 Mar '13

27 Mar '13

Hey Everyone; I'm trying out a brand new install of Observium, I really like the product and would love to set it up in my production environment. I have followed the installation guide for Red Hat 6 x64 on a virtual machine, however, when I attempt to add a router (Cisco 6509 using Advanced IP Services 12.2(33)), it fails to add: ./addhost.php routerDNSName observium Trying community observium ... No reply on community observium using v2c Could not reach routerDNSName with given SNMP community using v2c Trying v3 parameters observium/noAuthNoPriv ... No reply on credentials observium/noAuthNoPriv using v3 Could not reach routerDNSName with given SNMP community using v3 Trying community observium ... No reply on community observium using v1 Could not reach routerDNSName with given SNMP community using v1 Trying community observium ... No reply on community observium using v2c Could not reach routerDNSName with given SNMP community using v2c Trying v3 parameters observium/noAuthNoPriv ... No reply on credentials observium/noAuthNoPriv using v3 Could not reach routerDNSName with given SNMP community using v3 Trying community observium ... No reply on community observium using v1 Could not reach routerDNSName with given SNMP community using v1 On the 6509, I have input the commands listed on the wiki: routerName#sh run | i snmp snmp-server community observium RO SNMPv4 snmp-server ifindex persist snmp-server location routerLocation snmp-server contact Michael Sweikata snmp ifmib ifindex persist routerName#sh ip access-list SNMPv4 Standard IP access list SNMPv4 10 permit 10.2.48.130 log The DNS name does resolve correctly, and there are no firewalls or access-restrictions on those two devices talking. I've not worked with SNMP much before, but I can say that this device did run SNMP correctly, as Ciscoworks is able to detect issues, and it is listening on UDP/161. Any help for troubleshooting this would be appreciated.

Hi Tom, A few Comware-based HP switches have been detected as ProCurve recently as well. I think it's due to bone-headed changes by HP in the sysDescr string they're returning (because, contrary to your commit message, everything HP Networking must be ProCurve-branded :-). If i grab some snmpwalk results, do you need any particular flags, or is just the content of the string enough? Regards, Paul

Hello, It seems that more and more Linux Distros are stepping out on MySQL and replace MySQL with MariaDB.

browsable archives and (sub)domains in hostnames
by Andreas Rüdel 25 Mar '13

25 Mar '13

Hi, Observium 1) I wonder: is there a searchable version of the mailing list archives somewhere? 2) I need some hint where I can change the behaviour of observium to cut avay domains after the first dot - we used subdomains to segment our hardware so now all devices are called the same on the overview screen. (alarms / events) Example: switch1.site1.country1 switch1.site2.country1 switch1.site1.country2 and so on.. (I know it's boring but we ran out of elven names at one point...) ;) on the overview page they would all be called "switch1" when I go to "devices" everything is just fine can this be changed somewhere? could not find in config.php and don't dare editing the other files thanks!

Observium Network Discovery
by Rizwan azher 21 Mar '13

21 Mar '13

Hi All, - 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 networkor I jus have to add of single device name in config.apt and whole network will be autoatically discovered?..... 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 Rizwan

VMware ESXi hosts missing information
by Matt Hucker 21 Mar '13

21 Mar '13

Hi all, I'm using Observium r3791 to monitor a few VMware ESXi 5.1 hosts along with a mix of servers and network gear. All seems to be running well, except for the ESX hosts. When Observium polls the ESX hosts it seems to be missing a lot of information due to missing MIBs: My /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf has the mibdirs line as per the installation instructions. mibdirs /opt/observium/mibs It seems if I copy all of the mibs from the /opt/observium/mibs directory to /usr/share/mibs, then the poller seems to run OK. No more missing module errors. Is this expected behaviour? Partial debug poller output below: Observium Poller v0.13.3.3784 DEBUG! Starting polling run: SQL[SELECT `device_id` FROM `devices` WHERE `disabled` = 0 AND `hostname` LIKE 'esx01%' ORDER BY `device_id` ASC] SQL[SELECT * FROM `devices` WHERE `device_id` = '11'] SQL[SELECT * FROM devices_attribs WHERE `device_id` = '11'] esx01.prod.nrhosted.com 11 vmware DEBUG: SNMP Auth options = -v2c -c esx01 /usr/bin/snmpget -v2c -c esx01 -Oqv -m SNMPv2-MIB -M /opt/observium/mibs udp:esx01.prod.nrhosted.com:161 sysObjectID.0 SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.6876.4.1 RRD[update /opt/observium/rrd/esx01.prod.nrhosted.com/status.rrd N:1] OK u:0.01 s:0.00 r:0.07 RRD[update /opt/observium/rrd/esx01.prod.nrhosted.com/ping.rrd N:1.08] OK u:0.02 s:0.00 r:0.07 RRD[update /opt/observium/rrd/esx01.prod.nrhosted.com/ping_snmp.rrd N:46.31] DEBUG: SNMP Auth options = -v2c -c esx01 /usr/bin/snmpget -v2c -c esx01 -OQUs -m +VMWARE-ROOT-MIB:VMWARE-SYSTEM-MIB -M +/opt/observium/mibs/vmware udp:esx01.prod.nrhosted.com:161 VMWARE-SYSTEM-MIB::vmwProdName.0 VMWARE-SYSTEM-MIB::vmwProdVersion.0 VMWARE-SYSTEM-MIB::vmwProdBuild.0 MIB search path: /root/.snmp/mibs:/usr/share/mibs/site:/usr/share/snmp/mibs:/usr/share/mibs/iana:/usr/share/mibs/ietf:/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp:/opt/observium/mibs/vmware The first call to snmpget has the correct MIB path (/opt/observium/mibs), but the 2nd call to snmpget seems to only include the /opt/observium/mibs/vmware (leaving out /opt/observium/mibs) Consequently I get a lot of errors such as these: Cannot find module (SNMPv2-TC): At line 10 in /usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/UCD-DLMOD-MIB Cannot find module (SNMPv2-SMI): At line 34 in /usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/UCD-SNMP-MIB Cannot find module (SNMPv2-TC): At line 37 in /usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/UCD-SNMP-MIB Did not find 'enterprises' in module #-1 (/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/UCD-SNMP-MIB) Did not find 'DisplayString' in module #-1 (/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/UCD-SNMP-MIB) Did not find 'TruthValue' in module #-1 (/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/UCD-SNMP-MIB) -- Cheers, Matt.

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

snmp custom oid graphing
by Tsvetan Blagoev 12 Mar '13

12 Mar '13

Hello ! 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!

Hi All, I've added a Dlink DES and a HP Procurve switch in my observium. Observium can lean about my used and unused port, but the graphs doesn't plot. Anything to be done to plot? Thank you.
