Possibly Alert filter bug?
by Laszlo Nemeth 08 Sep '21

08 Sep '21

Hello We have some Check Point firewalls and if i make an Alert check to their memory usage and try to associate it to these firewalls, after the SAVE CHANGES the check doesn't shows any associated items even if i set the hostname directly or use the exact hardware type of it like the attached pictures. If i add the "Device Vendor in Check Point" it shows our other Check Point-made firewall but not that is in the attached picture (where the hardware is 15600 or the hostname is **fw01 . Is it a bug or just i made a mistake? Thanks Laszlo

Hi, SNMPv3 is more complex than SNMPv2 and requires all of the configuration parameters to match. If you're having trouble making SNMPv3 work to a particular type of device, you should try to make it work properly from the commandline using snmpwalk first.

observium enterprise doesnt word after installation
by Toky ANDRIANASOLO 03 Sep '21

03 Sep '21

We just had 1 year of subscription license observium Enterprise, ref: 4011610 We are completely new on this monitoring tools and really need your support for the installation. Our standard is debian 11, and we proceed on the manual installation as the script on the observim document doesn’t work (script automatic installation for debian 10) All the package are installed, observium seems to be installed following the guide (SNV username/password inserted) but *when we access the observium via GUI, the apache default page is shown instead of observium page* We already remove the apache (2.4) and then reinstalled and configure but the same result. Could you please help us on that or redirect me on the right support as we are turning around on this issue for a few weeks Thank you -- *Toky *

Probes from remote collectors
by Brad Bendy 27 Aug '21

27 Aug '21

Hi, I have added probes under a hosts that is a remote collector (ICMP for now) but I don't see that hosts actually sending the data. The master observium is doing the checks not the hosts the probe is tied to. When I go add probe I am choosing the other remote collector hosts and it shows up under that hosts when I go look at the hosts but those checks are still originating from the wrong place. I guess the "hosts" refers to which hosts would be used as the default %HOSTNAME% variable? If so, is there any way we can get these checks to launch from the collector and send data back? Thanks

monitor specific ports
by Luis Olavarrieta 19 Aug '21

19 Aug '21

Hey guys, i am trying to monitor two things in a port, if is operational up with “ ifOperStatus notequals up” but if I set it up to all my switches, it sends 2221 (literally) emails regarding all the ports available in my networks. How can I specify certain ports in certain devices. The other one is to be able to see if there is “traffic”, the scenario is we have a several mikrotik devices connected to DSL modems, but we need to see if the DSL service is up and running and get a notification if this port / service goes down.

JunOS Fusion and satellite
by Johann Mallet 31 Jul '21

31 Jul '21

Hello, We migrate one part of our equipments to JunOS Fusion Provider Edge. That permits us to have one Juniper MX chassis with a satellite (like Juniper EX or QFX) which is seen as like a linecard of Juniper MX chassis. But I have the impression that Observium can't detect sensors, COS or hardware for ports on this satellite. On CLI, we need to add the keyword "satellite" in commands to see optical level, hardware list. Maybe for satellite mode, the SNMP MIB was different (FPC number for satellite starts at 100). But, I have only found documentation for the "hardware" part. https://www.juniper.net/documentation/us/en/software/junos/fusion-enterpris… I can share access to our lab equipment with JunOS Fusion if needed.

Looking at the poller table I see the hostid in not different across some of the hosts, assuming his because we cloned the image. What is this hostid referenced from? We made new SSH keys on each host but there must be something else this from and not really sure how to change it. Thanks

Unable to poll a once working Device
by Oberreiter Andreas 20 Jul '21

20 Jul '21

Hi there, I have multiple environmental Devices which are working fine for years now. A view weeks ago one of was shown as unable to poll. A SNMPwalk for the Device works fine. I've tried to add the device via it's IP no luck there. I've rebooted the Server and the Device multiple times. I flushed the DNS cache. Attached are the debug Output of a poller run of a working Device poll_tempboxnl.txt and of the non-working Device poll_tempboxnz.txt as well as the discovery and snmpwalk output. xxx_tempboxnl.txt working. xxx_tempboxnz.txt not working. Any suggestions are welcome. Best regards Andras

Unable to create Alert Checker
by David Milton 12 Jul '21

12 Jul '21

Hello, I'm having a strange problem creating alert checkers. I first noticed this today and updated to the latest edition: 21.7.11450. I'm working on a test server and was attempting to re-create all of the alert checkers currently on my production systems and then add a few more; I would like to monitor power supply input state as well as air intake temperatures and produce alerts when a power supply is "down" and when intake air temperatures go above something like 45C. This has been prompted by some problems lately where power redundancy was lost and where we had an air conditioner failure. An earlier warning than having the hardware go into thermal shutdown is very much needed. So on my test server I can go through the basic process of creating the alert checker; alert checks -> Create new checker. In this case I click BGP Peer, fill in the name, message, use 1 for the delay and the conditions: bgpPeerAdminStatus notequals stop bgpPeerState notequals established Unfortunately, when I click "Add Checker" nothing happens. I've verified this is not likely the browser or is something pretty universal to all of my browsers because I can duplicate this in current versions Firefox, Safari, Opera, and Chrome. Both Opera and Chrome are fresh installations done today but I did try disabling all extensions in Firefox and Safari to see if those were a problem. I searched through the documentation but couldn't find anything about browser compatibility or known conflicts. This used to work but it's been quite some time since I've wanted to add new checks. Is there something else I'm missing? Thanks, Dave.

Thermal Alarm Bug

Hi Adam (et al), When Obs pulls in a sensor_value of NULL it gets interpreted as a zero and thus triggers alerts. Can we prevent that somehow?

APCu Caching not working?
by Milton Ngan 08 Jul '21

08 Jul '21

I have noticed that when I enable webUI caching, that the page loads don’t speed up. It regularly takes 3 seconds to render a page, although the tool tip at the bottom shows APCu caching is enabled. However, if I force the cache driver to “files”, then I see a huge speed up (page loads drop to about 100-200ms). Is there some extra config to get APCu working correctly? I didn’t see anything in the docs, but I could have missed it.

Distributed polling
by Milton Ngan 06 Jul '21

06 Jul '21

I was looking at the distributed polling feature as we have a geographically distributed network and polling slow devices from half way across the globe takes a long time. It turns out that putting a poller closer to the device doesn’t actually help. The SNMP polling times go down a bit, but the SQL times go up a lot because there are hundreds of SQL queries that get run for every polled device. This can easily add another 1-2 minutes to your polls depending on how many metrics are being polled. So, it seems to me that the distributed feature only works if the poller is still reasonably close to the database, otherwise the latency per query eats up any gains you might have from reducing the SNMP latency. Are there plans to try to reduce the number of queries a poller makes to make geographically distributed polling less latency sensitive? Cheers Milton

Alert on Entity Group
by Philipp Rehs 05 Jul '21

05 Jul '21

Hello, we want to create alert checkers for entities (mostly storage entities) which are only assigned to some entities in special groups. Building the groups is possible but it is not possible to add a association rule based on entitiy group membership. it is just possible to do it on device group membership or entity attributes. There is no entitiy / storage group option. Any idea how to solve this?
