New install only shows website header.
by Lasse Leegaard 16 Jul '12

16 Jul '12

I just did my first install of observium after a very convicing demo by a friend. However the website only loads the header (or parts of it). When I add /debug to the address I get this output Notice: Undefined index: page_title in /opt/observium/html/index.php on line 107 Notice: Undefined index: widescreen in /opt/observium/html/index.php on line 125 Notice: Undefined index: bare in /opt/observium/html/index.php on line 217 Notice: Undefined index: widescreen in /opt/observium/html/includes/header.inc.php on line 18 Widescreen<http://observium.brandbil.dk/debug?widescreen=yes>| Notice: Undefined index: authenticated in /opt/observium/html/includes/header.inc.php on line 25 Not logged in! Fatal error: Class 'Net_IPv6' not found in /opt/observium/html/includes/header.inc.php on line 32 For installation I followed this guide and also created a virtual host to run the observium webserver from: http://www.observium.org/wiki/Ubuntu_SVN_Installation I did everything and all the guide says - in that order - and did not do anything other than that. Obviously it seems like a problem with the Net_IPv6 package in PHP. Ubuntu is 10.04 and I meet all the requirements set forth in the requirements section of the install page. I am aware it might not be an observium error as such, but the googles is not really that helfull and my own skills are lacking a bit when it comes to webservers. -- -Lasse-

blank graphs
by Miguel Alejandro González 16 Jul '12

16 Jul '12

So I followed the ubuntu svn installation tutorial and managed to get observium to run... (commenting the function gethostbyname) But anyway... So far I have been able to log in to the web app and... the app has recorded all the info from the device I want to monitor... but somehow all the graphs are blank with nan values The device in question right now is in idle mode, just receiving packets from network equipment and sometimes ICMP (ping) packets. So maybe I'm doing this wrong and it needs to be in active mode receiving all kinds of requests.... but even the memory and processes graphs are blank... What could it be? Cron? I'm missing some configuration? Do I need to follow more of your documents? I'm a little confused... sorry I'm a n00b using this app I following these tuts: http://www.observium.org/wiki/Ubuntu_SVN_Installation (Completed the Installation section and the Debian > 6.0 and Ubuntu > 11.04 section) http://www.observium.org/wiki/NetSNMPd_Client_Configuration Regards!

Installing observium
by Miguel Alejandro González 13 Jul '12

13 Jul '12

Hello I'm having a little problem with the tutorial. I'm following this tut: http://www.observium.org/wiki/Ubuntu_SVN_Installation because both of my machine have ubuntu installed So I have two servers, server A is IPv6 only (i have installed Observium here, ubuntu 12.04) server B is IPv6/IPv4 (i want to monitor this machine, ubuntu 10.04) both machines are in a ipv6 network with cisco equipment (routers/switches) I configured the snmp client in server B, following this tutorial: http://www.observium.org/wiki/NetSNMPd_Client_Configuration And currently I'm stuck on this step, from the installation tutorial Add a first device to monitor: ./addhost.php <hostname> <community> v2c I get a message like this "coud not resolve hostname" Having said that, I have full connectivity between the machines and I configured a hostname in /etc/hosts, so I run this command (ubuntuservers is the community name i configured in server B) ./addhost.php server6 ubuntuservers v2c And I get the error message. I only modified these variables in config.php $config['db_user'] = "observium"; $config['db_pass'] = "mypass"; (a random password) $config['nets'][] = "2001:23::24/96"; What am I doing wrong, can you help me? Regards!!

Force Device Type Change?
by Robert Williams 13 Jul '12

13 Jul '12

Hi all, Is there a way to force a device to be treated as a different kind of device when it is polled? I've tried changing the "Type" under "Device Settings" but this does not have the desired effect. Reason for asking, we have several UPS systems which are successfully being polled by Observium (all are Reillo units, running NetMan Plus cards). We also have another system which is running a CS121 card (in a PW9000 DPA-250kVA unit). This system is polled by our Cacti server in exactly the same way as the Riello units and we get the same data from all of them. However, Observium will not see this UPS as a UPS, just a "Generic Device" and as such will not poll it for RFC1628 OIDs. Any ideas on a fix or 'tweak' to make it think it's a UPS and poll it? Thanks in advance! Robert Williams Backline / Operations Team Custodian DataCentre tel: +44 (0)1622 230382 email: Robert(a)CustodianDC.com http://www.custodiandc.com/disclaimer.txt

SLA graphs showing as broken icons
by Cushard Michael 12 Jul '12

12 Jul '12

Hi, I was wondering if SLA graphing was working, or if it is simply my installation that's borked. I'm on build 3323 and I have SLAs enabled in my config file, and I can see the SLA-XX.rrd files in my RRD directory, but the SLA tab in the GUI displays broken links. I've been testing Observium for the last few days and have over 10,000 ports in it with integration of rancid and smokeping. So far it's working fine, apart from my SLA issue. Regards, Michael

Brocade ifAlias
by Daniel Hooper 06 Jul '12

06 Jul '12

Hi All, Recently installed Observium today and very impressed so far, I have been busily migrating a boot load of stuff out of the not so free anymore Opsview into Observium all day. For my Cisco kit it's working great, unfortunately I'm hitting a few road blocks with my shiny new Brocade DC-6910 switches. I made a change to a poller include file to detect ironware / foundry switches and added the BR6910 string, what I still can't figure out is the ifAlias on the Brocades, it just comes back as 'Ethernet Port 3 on Unit 1' every time regardless of what the physical interface description is configured to. Anyone got any ideas on how to get around this one? Thanks -Dan

trouble ignoring switch ports - update broke functionality
by Henrik Lund Kramshøj 26 Jun '12

26 Jun '12

Hi All I have Observium running for some time and currently at [hlk@wiseguy01 observium]$ sudo svn up At revision 3310. After Observium SVN upgrade I cannot seem to ignore certain ports from Dell PowerConnect switches (might not be only those) from high port numbers I get "Device record unchanged. No update necessary." this happens currently on two switch stacks that are quite large, both 10 units single port 9/0/35 on one stack lots of ports from units 8, 9, 10 on the other stack Those cannot be ignored. I tested using ports 1/0/4 and 7/0/51 that I can ignore/unignore another port on this switch. also tried removing the switch completely and adding it again. Any pointers or ideas? Where to look for this - used to work fine. BTW I noticed to other ports were changed today - we moved a server, and changing those on a Dell 8024F gave the expected " 2 Device record updated." and were updated fine.

Sensors not picking up, get rediscovered 4 times a day
by Morgan McLean 26 Jun '12

26 Jun '12

My logs look like this...any idea why its not picking up? I have about 50 juniper devices, an APC device and a couple others and it doesn't seem to monitor or graph any of the sensors. I have seen some information about sensor configuration under config.php, but it wasn't very helpful. Every time the discovery runs, or maybe its the poller, not sure, it finds all these sensors for every device, but it does nothing with them. Is there a switch I need to flip? Thanks!

up / down gives no warning
by Ian Armstrong 24 Jun '12

24 Jun '12

Hi, Observium has been working very well over the past few months and now I want to begin tailoring it for our network specifically. We use an Ubuntu install as per the instructions and had no install problems. On the overview page we get an orange warning for a non-ignored link that goes into the (Cisco) down/down state BUT NOT when they are up/down. Is this a setting, bug or feature? If it can be changed does anyone know how - I would like a warning for any link that goes down/down and up/down. I have looked through the documentation, options and settings but find nothing. I also tried [alert][port][ifdown] as a long shot. Any help would be great. Thanks Ian

Speaking of Observium's pretty graphsŠ
by Andrew Beals 12 Jun '12

12 Jun '12

One of our clients uses a very large HP ProCurve 4108gl switch as the central hub of their network. When I'm looking at traffic graphs from it for large spaces of time, I invariably see it pegged to +/- 20Gbps because of some traffic spikes during the day (e.g. Windows clients talking to WSUS and downloading their patches). If I zoom in on one of the "empty" stretches of time, I see that there is actually some traffic flowing – it's just so small in comparison that it gets flatlined by the spikes. What I'd like to be able to do is to change the graph from a linear one in the Y (bps) axis to a logarithmic one, so I can see my traffic. For example, here's the past 24 hours: [cid:5CBC68CF-394E-403F-9F59-AB51C6450F66] (The rrdtool command that produces this graph is truly impressive and only crawls out of its blue box with the last set of CDEF statements before the giant list of AREA statements.) (All graphs generated for this e-mail use the same time span on the same hardware) I know, I know, "Use the Source, Luke!", but I've only watched the commits fly past, not actually dug into the code past the config file (and this doesn't appear to be a configuration option). rrdtool_graph() is called in three places, and fortunately only defined in one. Applying the obvious small patch: Index: html/includes/graphs/graph.inc.php =================================================================== --- html/includes/graphs/graph.inc.php (revision 3268) +++ html/includes/graphs/graph.inc.php (working copy) @@ -146,6 +146,7 @@ if ($rrd_options) { + $rrd_options .= " --logarithmic"; rrdtool_graph($graphfile, $rrd_options); if ($debug) { echo($rrd_cmd); } if (is_file($graphfile)) Nets me this: [cid:806F0C8F-84AE-4C4F-8D2D-04802B3A5EB7] Which could probably use a little more tweaking. I'd rather see SI "-bi-" units on the left rather than scientific notation. Also, it does tend to whack the CPU pretty hard figuring it all out, pegging both of the CPUs in the old ml350 I'm using for monitoring. Running "rrdgraph" at "nice +4" (or better) would likely be a win w/r/t data collection. This patch: Index: html/includes/graphs/graph.inc.php =================================================================== --- html/includes/graphs/graph.inc.php (revision 3268) +++ html/includes/graphs/graph.inc.php (working copy) @@ -146,6 +146,7 @@ if ($rrd_options) { + $rrd_options .= " --logarithmic --units=si"; rrdtool_graph($graphfile, $rrd_options); if ($debug) { echo($rrd_cmd); } if (is_file($graphfile)) Nets this: [cid:4C488D23-BF57-49B9-BBBE-C2D43F0E17AF] I'm pretty happy with this, overall. For those who are curious, the ProCurve Switch 4108gl has a claimed capacity of: routing/switching capacity 36.6 Gbps Throughput up to 71.4 mpps Being able to tweak individual graphs to show logarithmically would probably be nice, just to save some CPU for graphs that don't really need it. -- Andrew Beals Cell: 913-787-7538 Desk: 913-948-8782 E-mail: ABeals(a)mersoft.com<mailto:ABeals@mersoft.com>

Pretty Graphs
by Adam Armstrong 08 Jun '12

08 Jun '12

Hi All, It occurs to me that one of the reasons we've managed to keep the project alive for 6 years is that everyone loves graphs. It's one thing to store a bunch of numbers and draw a line, but it's a totally different thing to craft a pretty graph from those numbers. If any of you have graphs or pages that look particularly good, feel free to email us a screenshot, it'd be nice to break up the deafening torrent of inane cat pictures, right? We might even use them on the screenshots page :) adam.

Editing user passwords
by Chris Stone 06 Jun '12

06 Jun '12

Just had a user that could not, for whatever reason, log into our Observium installation. So, I was going to reset the password, but editing the user, found nothing there to do that. Seems that there is no way for anyone other than each user to edit passwords after the account is initially created? And if that user cannot log in, they cannot do it. I ended up deleting the login, recreating it, and then re-linking the devices, ports and bills the user has access to. Did I miss something? Chris -- Chris Stone AxisInternet, Inc. www.axint.net

Hello, On April 19th, I installed the last version of Observium from the Ubuntu instructions there http://www.observium.org/wiki/Ubuntu_SVN_Installation (I am using Ubuntu 10.10 server). Everything worked, I gathered a lot of interesting data about my devices, I was happy. Yesterday, I updated to the very latest version of Observium following the instructions there http://www.observium.org/wiki/Using_SVN#Upgrading_to_the_very_latest_version. After completing this upgrade, I can't log in Observium anymore and it doesn't poll the devices as specified in /etc/cron.d/observium. Today I installed the last stable release following http://www.observium.org/wiki/Using_SVN#Upgrading_to_a_specific_release_of_… that it would solve my 2 problems but they remain. What would be the simplest way to re-install everything without losing my data? Thanks! Charles -- Charles Nadeau Ph.D. http://charlesnadeau.blogspot.com/

Cisco Unified Border Element (CUBE) Support
by John Macleod 28 May '12

28 May '12

I manage numerous CUBE devices in my environment. I would like to use Observium for monitoring. The CUBE deployment is essentially an IP-IP voice gateway with two (or more) dial peers. Currently, they just show as they should as standard Cisco routers. Per the following link http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/voicesw/ps6790/gatecont/ps5640/w… there are some applicable Cisco MIBS for monitoring the voice elements of these devices, they appear to use the same voice MIBs as other Cisco devices, such as the AS5xxx. I do not know if it is possible during discovery/polling to see if voice is enabled on the platform or not and show/hide the applicable polled data? I would have no issue opening up a CUBE device for testing if anyone is interested. Thanks, John

Jira and Fisheye
by Adam Armstrong 25 May '12

25 May '12

Hi All, Just to remind everyone we have a Jira installation for reporting bugs. It's helpful when reporting things as it means I don't forget about them (which I have a habit of doing). It's a lot easier when I get some time to just look at Jira and clear out a couple than trying to remember what things people have reported via email. http://jira.observium.org We also have a Fisheye installation at http://fisheye.observium.org which gives a nice interface to our code. If you're reporting an error with a graph on a particular module, it's often helpful to send examples of the rrd files and an entry from the database (if you know how), as otherwise it can be a nightmare for us to test. adam.

Public Graphing Display
by Adam Blackington 23 May '12

23 May '12

The FAQ's and Configuration state that I can display graphs without requiring a username or password. This is great... but... here's the question I've made the appropriate modifications to config.php, however, what URL do I use to get to the public graphs? I tried looking at the URL of generated images, however, that doesn't seem to be correct. So you can understand my goal: I run a colocation company and require my customers to be able to review their bandwidth statistics. I utilize WHMCS and would like them to be able to view their graphs within their portal, thus, I've added the IP address of my WHMCS server as an 'authenticated' IP in config.php I'm thinking, once I can understand how to display the graphs, that I can use the port id as a variable to develop a custom module to display the graphs. So my questions are: After permitting an IP address to be able to view graphs without username/password, what is the syntax of the URL for displaying these graphs? It would be awesome to be able to integrate a custom range selection, but I'd really just settle for static generation of past 24 hours, past month, and past year.

I have done a new install on a Freebsd box using the instructions here: http://www.observium.org/wiki/FreeBSD_SVN_Installation I have everything installed, but when I go to the webpage I run into this: *Fatal error*: Call to undefined function simplexml_load_string() in * /usr/local/share/observium/includes/definitions.inc.php* on line *1144* * * I do show the xml.so extension installed in php. Any ideas what to check? No errors show up in the logs. * * * *

missing data in graphs.
by Michael Ponto 22 May '12

22 May '12

As a newbie I am sure I am doing something wrong, but don't know what. I have Observium installed in new install of Ubuntu 10.04 and it is seeing the snmp for users from the edge router at each of 7 locations much of the data comes in such as tem and CPU load but no carts are created anyplace. The forms for the graphs do open but all are without any data lines. The graphs have a -nan listed for data.

Hi, I was trying to add support for NRG Printers (Ricoh-clones), following the method found in the Developing/NewOS page and i'm blocked on the fourth step ('Add an OS text name and possibly other settings in includes/static-config.php'), but this file is almost empty, and the only other place with detection logic seems to be includes/definitions.inc.php but the header is quite deterrent :-) ######################################################### # NO CHANGES TO THIS FILE, IT IS NOT USER-EDITABLE # ######################################################### # YES, THAT MEANS YOU # ######################################################### I've walked past the disclaimer and tried to add the new os type inside, and everything works now, is it the right method ? best regards -- seb

Developing
by Adam Armstrong 15 May '12

15 May '12

I think it's worth pointing out that if you're planning to do any development, you should come to our IRC channel, #observium on freenode. It's usually a lot quicker to get questions answered, and you might save yourself a lot of time by not copying the wrong bit of code. adam.

Observium with an MFSYS25
by Ian Armstrong 14 May '12

14 May '12

Has anyone got Observium to recognise the switch module on an Intel MFSYS25 compute chassis by any chance? Observium finds the controller very easily, but doesn't find any of the switch ports. Thanks Ian
