Device Graphs page blank
by Chris Stone 11 Apr '12

11 Apr '12

Not sure when this started, but I've got a couple of Linux servers where suddenly the Graphs tab on them blank. The page layout is all there, but the part under the heading Graphs where the graphs and netstats links and graphs should be is empty. Checked the apache logs and see nothing there indicating any problem and poller.php runs fine - one of them: Observium Poller v0.12.4.3008 Starting polling run: pegasus.domain.com 65 linux (unix) Using hrSystemUptime (384:13:39:50.94) Uptime: 1 years, 19 days, 13h 39m 50s Hardware: Generic x86 64-bit Version: 2.6.18-164.6.1.el5 Features: CentOS 5.7 Processor Intel Xeon 2.80GHz... 10% Processor Intel Xeon 2.80GHz... 9% Processor Intel Xeon 2.80GHz... 11% Processor Intel Xeon 2.80GHz... 11% Mempool Physical memory: 88.23% Mempool Virtual memory: 43.62% Mempool Swap space: 0.52% Storage /: 19% Storage /boot: 35% Polling Netstats: IP TCP UDP ICMP SNMP HR Stats: Processes Users Polling IP-MIB ipSystemStats ipv4 ipv6 Caching Oids: ifEntry ifXEntry dot3StatsDuplexStatus Port lo(1) HC HC VLAN == bps(37.4kbps/37.4kbps)bytes(434kB/434kB)pkts(38.9pps/38.9pps) Port eth0(2) HC HC dot3Duplex VLAN == bps(340kbps/336kbps)bytes(3.86MB/3.81MB)pkts(153pps/149pps) Port eth1(3) HC dot3Duplex VLAN == bps(0bps/0bps)bytes(0B/0B)pkts(0pps/0pps) Port sit0(4) HC VLAN == bps(0bps/0bps)bytes(0B/0B)pkts(0pps/0pps) Module [ bgp-peers ] disabled on host.

PIX 501 support
by Chris Stone 06 Apr '12

06 Apr '12

I have a couple of Cisco PIX 501's setup in Observium, but they are being seen only as Generic Devices: Cisco PIX Firewall Version 6.3(5) Operating System Generic Device Contact support(a)axint.net Location Denver, CO Uptime 291 days, 22h 45m 55s And the only graphs I am getting are Uptime and the ethernet port counters (traffic, packets, etc). Nothing for memory or cpu. Both firewalls are the same - here's the info on one of them: voip-fw# show ver Cisco PIX Firewall Version 6.3(5) Cisco PIX Device Manager Version 3.0(4) Compiled on Thu 04-Aug-05 21:40 by morlee voip-fw up 291 days 22 hours Hardware: PIX-501, 16 MB RAM, CPU Am5x86 133 MHz Flash E28F640J3 @ 0x3000000, 8MB BIOS Flash E28F640J3 @ 0xfffd8000, 128KB 0: ethernet0: address is 0016.c836.223a, irq 9 1: ethernet1: address is 0016.c836.223c, irq 10 Licensed Features: Failover: Disabled VPN-DES: Enabled VPN-3DES-AES: Enabled Maximum Physical Interfaces: 2 Maximum Interfaces: 2 Cut-through Proxy: Enabled Guards: Enabled URL-filtering: Enabled Inside Hosts: 10 Throughput: Unlimited IKE peers: 10 My understanding was that PIX firewalls were supported. Is what I am getting all the support there currently is? Or is there something else I need to do to enable cpu and memory counters. I had them setup in Cacti previously, so it would seem that the SNMP counters do exist. -- Chris Stone AxisInternet, Inc. www.axint.net

Hi Adam, I am having a strange issues which I need your help in troubleshooting. I have this 7606 which has ATM interfaces configured but the problem is that when I discover this device, all the interfaces are discovered include ATM ones but as soon as the poller runs, they disappear again. I am not sure how to fix this issues. I am running the latest version of Observium. Thanks for your help.

Re: [Observium] poller doesn’t kick the apache-stats.py script
by Andrew Beals 05 Apr '12

05 Apr '12

Rather than modifying the poller script, simply commenting out the "mibs :" line at the bottom of /etc/snmp/snmp.conf on your Observium server box is sufficient to get the polling to work correctly. Ubuntu put that line in citing "licensing issues" with the MIBs.

rrd time selection is wrong
by Nikolay Shopik 04 Apr '12

04 Apr '12

It seems like when you select time to show graph it doesn't take in consideration timezone. Basically if I select from 18:00 till now and press update time in "From" field update to 22:00 (I have GMT+4 zone). You can click update multiply times and graph time will be moving after each click.

SNMPv3 implementation
by Guillaume Leclanche 31 Mar '12

31 Mar '12

Hello, attached is the patch for the implementation of SNMPv3. I've been testing it on my system and devices, and it seems to be working properly. Since it's a core function of the soft, I guess it would be good that other people give it a try before it is committed. I use NET-SNMP version: 5.4.3. Be careful that a few files use direct calls to net-snmp instead of calling observium library functions. It means that those calls will not work with an snmpv3 device. includes/discovery/cisco-mac-accounting.inc.php: $datas = shell_exec($config['snmpbulkwalk'] . " -M ".$config['mibdir']." -m CISCO-IP-STAT-MIB -Oqn -".$device['snmpver']." -c ".$device['community']."

Cisco-vrf discovery - huge performance improvement
by Guillaume Leclanche 31 Mar '12

31 Mar '12

Hi, As I wanted to make Cisco VRF discovery SNMPv3-compatible, I realized that it was actually very slow. So I change the philosophy of it (bulkwalk all SNMP info first then analyze in the code), and here's the result for a device with 500 VRFs: Old version : Discovered in 65.83 seconds New version : Discovered in 3.234 seconds At the same time I made it SNMPv3-compatible, and I added the support for CISCO-L3VPN-STD-MIB that is the more recent MIB and the only one supported on the latest releases of IOS/IOS-XR. I tested it with Cisco Hw and it's fine, but for the other vendors implementing the MIB, somebody else will have to test it :) Guillaume

bug report: Billing Traffic
by Timbo a la Bazzi 16 Mar '12

16 Mar '12

Hi There, How can I make a bug report? The forum is closed for registration, the bugtracker also, so I hope this is the correct way and I can help in the future maybe, because the software is awesome! I have the following situation: The polling is done correctly and it shows the same results as cacti for my switch. Buw when I add billing and make a bill for a port with Quota the first time I add for example 20GB it shows like 20B. If i then edit it it shows correctly as 20GB (so not 2.0E-8), so there is a work around. When I add a bill for multiple ports the sum is totally wrong. For example. I made a bill of 5 ports and 5 bills of each port, so I can check. If a manually sum the 5 bills/ports I get around 80GB. But when I look at the SUMMED bill it says 1.47PB I have added the billing feature this way: http://www.observium.org/wiki/Billing What am I doing wrong and if it is a bug how can I correct it? So there are 2 problems: initial quota is set wrong, but can be corrected. -> Bug with a work around quota calculated to high values -> bug or misconfiguration, but I can't find anything about it: So you can see the sum of the 5 ports are 9.36Gbps and it are 5x 100MBit ports ;-) The switch that I am monitoring is a HP2524 Thanks in advance!

Traffic

Hi, I'm testing the observium and already added a couple of devices, (several switch one router and some linux boxes) All this devices have at least 1Gb network cards or ports in the case of switchs, some have 10Gb ports. But in my graphs I have at most 100/120 Mb peaks, but I'm sure that I have more traffic in some ports, because I have other monitoring system (cacti) showing that. I remember that in cacti I had to configure the counters to be 64-bits and convert bytes in bits.

Data is visible up to a couple of weeks ago, but then stops and nothing more has been recorded since. The permission on the rrd are fine, and the file itself hasn't been modified since the day the data stopped being recorded. Interestingly, the usage 'bar' next to the (blank) graph shows usage on it correctly. So, as a test, I moved the rrd files for one chassis out of its folder then did a full redetect of the one host in question. Since then it doesn't appear to have made any effort to re-create the RRD file :( So, any ideas on why this one element would stop working suddenly? Or alternatively, is there a way to 'force' Observium to re-create it's rrd files for specific sensors on demand? Any input most welcome :) Cheers, _______________________________________________ observium mailing list observium(a)observium.org http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium

C6K Fabric stats not being recorded any more
by Robert Williams 03 Feb '12

03 Feb '12

Hi Guys, For some (unknown) reason all of our catalyst chassis (650x-E) have recently stopped recording data for their Crossbar usage on all their cards. Data is visible up to a couple of weeks ago, but then stops and nothing more has been recorded since. The permission on the rrd are fine, and the file itself hasn't been modified since the day the data stopped being recorded. Interestingly, the usage 'bar' next to the (blank) graph shows usage on it correctly. So, as a test, I moved the rrd files for one chassis out of its folder then did a full redetect of the one host in question. Since then it doesn't appear to have made any effort to re-create the RRD file :( So, any ideas on why this one element would stop working suddenly? Or alternatively, is there a way to 'force' Observium to re-create it's rrd files for specific sensors on demand? Any input most welcome :) Cheers, Robert Williams Backline / Operations Team Custodian DataCentre tel: +44 (0)1622 230382 email: Robert(a)CustodianDC.com http://www.custodiandc.com/disclaimer.txt

Feature Request/Suggestion: Trending
by Ciro Iriarte 24 Jan '12

24 Jan '12

Hi, it would be really helpful for Capacity Planning to include Trending support, as far as I know, RRDTool already has support for it. Maybe adding trending on all graphs is not the best option, because for one graph there are many data sources, and while one can choose what one thinks would be the most obvious candidate another user might need to do the trending using other datasource... Maybe adding a separate TAB where one can choose what to graph with trending would be the most "universal" solution, or maybe a mix of both, graph the obvious by default and enable and "advanced" tab for trending on demand...

Collectd alongside Observium
by Ciro Iriarte 24 Jan '12

24 Jan '12

Hi, I'll try asking again splitting topics... Does collectd add new data/features not available with SNMP polling?, should I implement collectd alongside a new Observium installation?. Also, which version plays nice with Observium today?, 4.10 or 5.0? Regards, -- Ciro Iriarte http://cyruspy.wordpress.com --

Load Graph, 'm'illions?
by Ciro Iriarte 24 Jan '12

24 Jan '12

Sorry if this has been asked before, couldn't find the answer in a quick search. Graphing Linux load average on a busy machine I see integer numbers, which is expected "20" for example, but graphing an almost idle machine (load 0.22), it's graphed as 220 m. Is there something I need to adjust?, is a RRD limitation? Regards, -- Ciro Iriarte http://cyruspy.wordpress.com --

"Could not ping <host>" from Web UI
by Ciro Iriarte 24 Jan '12

24 Jan '12

Hi, I managed to install Observium rev2831 on SLES11SP1, and it's working great!! Trying to add hosts by CLI I was getting the "cannot ping" message, fixed it adding "$config['fping'] = "/usr/sbin/fping";" to config.php. Now, I keep getting the same trying to use the Web UI to add a hosts, apparently it's not using the config['fping'] variable. Is that possible? Regards, -- Ciro Iriarte http://cyruspy.wordpress.com --

Looking for FabricOS and Eaton Rack Monitor support
by Ciro Iriarte 23 Jan '12

23 Jan '12

Any pointers/help to add support for: - Brocade SAN Switches (FabricOS): Added as unknown device, some traffic data saved. Snmpwalk output: http://pastebin.com/WAq90sFA - Eaton Powerware Rack Monitor: Recognized as UPS (!), no environment data saved. Snmpwalk output: http://pastebin.com/xdT0La6T MIB: http://pastebin.com/gH2W9dvK I kinda suck at php, but would be nice to add support for this devices..
