Issues monitoring an SRX cluster
by Jacob Gardiner 01 Feb '13

01 Feb '13

Hi all, Firstly - Cheers Adam et all for the development. I'm looking to see if anybody has had any luck properly monitoring a Juniper SRX cluster. We've got a couple up and running at the moment, in addition to some J-series units that we'll probably replace with another pair of SRXs in the future but we've been running into some issues. Basically when adding the host to observium, everything works a treat as usual. Devices get detected properly, node0 & node1's routing engines get detected properly and we can see two different graphs for each in relation to processor, memory, temperature etc. However when polling the interfaces, we get a zero response for bps. This behavior happens on all interfaces except the lo0.X interfaces and fxpX interfaces. (They show graphs and results). I've run a poll via cmdline with the -d flag and can see that the poller is definitely seeing a 0 response from all of the other interfaces, output looks something like: <paste> SQL[INSERT INTO `ports-state` (`port_id`) VALUES ('2151')] state inserted SQL[UPDATE `ports-state` set `poll_time` ='1359075465',`poll_period` ='153',`ifInOctets` ='',`ifInOctets_rate` ='0',`ifInOctets_delta` ='0',`ifOutOctets` ='',`ifOutOctets_rate` ='0',`ifOutOctets_delta` ='0',`ifInErrors` ='',`ifInErrors_rate` ='0',`ifInErrors_delta` ='0',`ifOutErrors` ='',`ifOutErrors_rate` ='0',`ifOutErrors_delta` ='0',`ifInUcastPkts` ='',`ifInUcastPkts_rate` ='0',`ifInUcastPkts_delta` ='0',`ifOutUcastPkts` ='',`ifOutUcastPkts_rate` ='0',`ifOutUcastPkts_delta` ='0',`ifInOctets_perc` ='0',`ifOutOctets_perc` ='0',`ifOctets_rate` ='0',`ifUcastPkts_rate` ='0',`ifErrors_rate` ='0' WHERE `port_id` = '2151'] 1 updated Port reth0(568) VLAN == ifInOctets (0 B) 0 Bps 153 secs ifOutOctets (0 B) 0 Bps 153 secs ifInErrors (0 B) 0 Bps 153 secs ifOutErrors (0 B) 0 Bps 153 secs ifInUcastPkts (0 B) 0 Bps 153 secs ifOutUcastPkts (0 B) 0 Bps 153 secs bps(0bps/0bps)bytes(0B/0B)pkts(0pps/0pps)OK u:0.00 s:0.03 r:50.09 </paste> My first impression is that it's the MIB incorrectly polling the device, Can anybody confirm?

apache application error after upgrade
by ColoCenter bv 29 Jan '13

29 Jan '13

After some efforts I got the apache application plugin for observium working for a certain server. I was at first stuck with a missing module of PERL(LWP::Simple) It was working fine till today when i upgraded apache from 2.2.19 to 2.2.23. Not a very big upgrade, but now the apache script of observium is not working anymore. If I execute it manually it produces the following error: [root@server01 agent-local]# perl apache Data fetch failure. Any suggestions what might be causing this or where to look for an answer or more detailed error message and how to solve it?

Re: [Observium] Poller performance
by Adam Armstrong 24 Jan '13

24 Jan '13

Observium scales primarily on the number of interfaces you have, as they account for the majority of I/o. 128 switches would be a large install, 128 servers would not. You should try running 2 or 3 pollers if your server's disk is not too heavily loaded. If you are only using one poller then your disk is waiting for SNMP was dating time. Memcached was replaced with mysql memory tables, which you are already using :-) Rrdcached seems to make little difference to me. I have my installs running in a ramdisk, as that removes the i/o bottleneck entirely. Adam.

Hi, I have some performance troubles with the poller, it takes a bit more than 5 minutes to finish. There are 128 devices to poll... Looking at the "Performance tuning" wiki page and the mailing list, I implemented the following tweaks: * Using poller-wrapper from Job Snijders ("Multiple poller instances" was really bad, polling took about 10 minutes) * Activated RRDcached Putting the RRDs on a Ramdisk is not a solution for me (too less memory). Does memcache work with the current SVN build? What other options for performance tuning do I have? One idea was to have "worker" server which only poll a subset of devices and report the values back to the master. Is something like that possible? Which resources need the most I/O? RRD or MySQL?

The front page? It is designed to be customised. We almost totally ignore it in reality, as no one uses it. Which front page are you using? The default one?

Hi I would like too be able too set the Linespeed as the Max vertical value. Especially as an option under "All ports" This would be handy when reviewing needed upgrades among other things. -- *Med Vänliga Hälsningar - Best Regards* *Mattias Gyllenvarg* *Nätutveckling* Bredband2 Tel: +46 406219712

Attempting to put this into production with our NOC. When they logon with the user class of "Global Read" they can see the devices but nothing appears on the overview page. If I create the user with class of "Normal" they cannot see anything. Admin class of course works as expected. Regards, Adam

Postgres monitor script
by Lance Raymond 15 Jan '13

15 Jan '13

Afternoon all, have my apache working nicely, mysql and moving through the list of to-do's. Next is our primary DB which is running postgres. I have that server added, SNMP working, the agent is loaded and I can telnet from the observium server on 6556 port with no issues. Looking at the install http://www.observium.org/wiki/Application/Postgresqlthe only thing left from that section and my notes from mysql is to copy the script from the local observium server (under /opt/observium/scripts/agent-local) to the postgres server and update the config with the user/pass but those files are not there. I also don't see postgres listed in the applications list for the device. Is postgres not supported anymore? -- *e*. lraymond(a)weatherflow.com *c.* 386.561.1509 *f.* 386.409.5178

Function scope issues?
by Paul Gear 11 Jan '13

11 Jan '13

Hi all, I'm just looking into a couple of nagging problems on my Observium install and i found this: 1. includes/discovery/discovery-protocols.inc.php uses ifNameDescr(), which is defined in includes/rewrites.php (called from includes/functions.php). 2. ifNameDescr() is a wrapper around ifLabel(), which itself is a wrapper around humanize_port() 3. humanize_port() calls humanspeed(), which is defined in html/includes/functions.inc.php This seems to indicate that ifNameDescr/ifLabel/humanize port, when called from discovery functions, will never work. Is this intentional? Or should humanspeed() (and possibly others of its peers within html/includes/functions.inc.php) be moved to includes/rewrites.php? Regards, Paul

Disable Monitoring of Linux Interfaces
by admin 11 Jan '13

11 Jan '13

Good Evening, I was able to get Observium up and running with no issues, but I do have a bit of an odd situation. I happen to have a server that I wish to monitor that has over 300 PPP interfaces. Observium is attempting to poll them, and its hammering the server hard, and Observium. Is there a way to remove polling of interfaces (or maybe just ppp interfaces) on that server? Thanks!

Drilling down to specific times in graphs
by Jason Lixfeld 11 Jan '13

11 Jan '13

I'm having a little trouble understanding how the graph drill downs are supposed to work. I select a 6 hour graph of something, From: says 17:44 To: says 23:44. Case 1: I change 17:44 to 16:44 and click Submit, From: says 11:44 To: says 18:44. Case 2: I leave From: at 17:44 but change To: to 18:44 and click Submit, From: says 12:44 To: says 13:44. Am I missing something on how these timeframes are supposed to work?

Observium doesn't hit apache directly. That is done via the agent script. Is it working?

Adding mysql monitoring
by Lance Raymond 07 Jan '13

07 Jan '13

Checking out http://www.observium.org/wiki/Application/MySQL#Requirementsand seems pretty straight forward. I have my server running, added that box and see it collecting data now. php5-cli and php-mysql are installed on both the server and mysql server I wish to monitor, but nothing has been added and not sure how to force check, add, etc. Docs are simple enough; I created the user with access on the remote server. Then the steps are simply; *Copy* the mysql script *from scripts/agent-local/* in your observium install to */usr/local/check_mk_agent/local/* (/usr/lib/check_mk_agent/local/ on Debian systems) the *server* you wish to monitor. The remote server is running ubuntu, so I create a folder; /usr/lib/check_mk_agent/local with 2 files; mysql (script) mysql.cnf I can run the script locally and get a lot of data (here is a sample); root@mysql101:/usr/lib/check_mk_agent/local# ./mysql <<<mysql>>> a0:13362926 a1:50929 a2:4796992 a3:287789 So is it something on the server end I need to add/edit?

Aggrgation, Nagios Check, Graph Caching
by Tobias Brunner 31 Dec '12

31 Dec '12

Hi, After using Observium for some time I have some ideas and questions: * Is it possible to create aggregated graphs? F.e. I'd like to aggregate all uplinks (which are on different routers) into one big graph (all uplinks as a single line, in one graph (overlay). And the traffic aggregated). * This could maybe end up in a Dashboard, which shows me an overview of what's going on in the network. (Aggregated Graphs, Top Ports, Recent Syslog, High Values, ...) * I'd like to check some values collected by Observium with Nagios to generate an Alert (F.e. the temperatures, dBm, ...). This could be a plugin like "check_observium <device> <type> <thresholds>". How can I access the raw data in Observium from outside? Is there something like this available, or does it need to be written? My main concern is to have just one tool which Polls the devices and get the collected data out of it. I don't want to have many tools which are all doing SNMP. One single tool should be enough. * How can I get the graphs out of Observium to display in another tool? * Are there any caching mechanisms for the Graphs? Everytime I hover over a link which creates a Pop-Up the graphs are being generated. What about caching the generated graphs for f.e. 5 minutes? Cheers and thanks a lot for this great tool!
