Abnormal spike in billing graphs - r2719
by Berant Lemmenes 23 Nov '11

23 Nov '11

Hello, I've just recently setup Observium and noticed a strange spike in reported usage for one billing item, that wasn't reported in the actual interfaces stats. I've attached three screen shots, one of the accurate billing page for the billing entry in question, the 2nd for the interface page under the device, and the 3rd for the same interface as seen from a cricket install. As you can see the physical interface graphs in Observium or cricket don't show this extended period of ~ 8Gb/s that show up in the mysql based graphs. Looking at bill_data for the bill_id in question there were 45 entries where in_delta was exactly 309525032051591 while out_delta continues to change. Here is an example row: 31, 2011-11-10 17:35:06, 299, 309525032052787, 309525032051591, 1196 This has only manifested in this one billing. Let me know if there is anything else I can look at or provide that would assist. Thank you in advance. Thanks, Berant

Billing question
by Berant Lemmenes 17 Nov '11

17 Nov '11

I have a quick question to confirm what data is used to determine an overage... I believe I'm understanding the code/database correctly in that it calculates the 95th percentile for both in and out (rate_95th_in/rate_95th_out) and then whichever one is larger is stored as rate_95th and that is what is used for the value that the overage is based on. I just ask because we see ~4-5 times more entries that are over their limit with Observium than with our previous system (which granted was horribly cobbled together, and last maintained in the early 00's), and I just wanted to make sure it wasn't taking the sum of in and out for the calculation. Thanks! Berant

Cisco ASA Remote Access Sessions getting Error Drawing Graph
by Jeff Collyer 15 Nov '11

15 Nov '11

Using Observium to monitor several pairs of Cisco ASA 5520 firewalls. On the graphs/firewall page /observium/device/device=27/tab=graphs/group=firewall/ the very last graph is labeled Remote Access Sessions. I'm getting the ubiquitous "Error Drawing Graph" on that row of graphs. whats my next debugging step? The apache logs don't show any errors, so I'm guessing its somewhere in the Observium or RRDtool layers. Observium 0.11.11.2726 Apache 2.2.14 (Ubuntu) PHP 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.10 MySQL 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.10 Thanks ---- Jeff

Potential bugs - r2726
by Berant Lemmenes 15 Nov '11

15 Nov '11

Some of these could be known issues but I didn't see anything in the bugtracker and wanted to see if they were somehow unique to my installation. There are a couple pages that completely error out, the browser get's a failure trying to load. For me that is the main Inventory page under the overview tab, and the all ports page. I have currently 30 devices with ~16k ports in my system. For a page like the all ports page I would expect that to take some time to render as it's pulling together a lot of info for 16k interfaces, however after maybe 1-2 seconds it fails. Filtering under the traffic bills page doesn't seem to work, when I first started entering Bills I know I was able to filter by over/under quota, however now that I have 67 in it doesn't seem to work. Also I'm not sure what the 'All Customers' drop down is supposed to filter on as I've filled out all the customer/bill related fields when adding a new bill and it never populates. In general I don't see any place to look for clues as to what is failing on the page failures, as the apache error.log doesn't have anything and the observium.log file is only poller items. Can I enable more verbose logging into the observium.log file somehow? Thanks, Berant

New user introduction - Scaling questions
by Berant Lemmenes 11 Nov '11

11 Nov '11

Hello everyone, I just wanted to introduce myself to the list and complement the authors on a fantastic tool! As a little background on our deployment, I work for a Midwestern US ISP/NSP and I found Observium by looking for a replacement solution for our severely aging 95th percentile burstable billing system. However I was blown away by Observium once I got it running. We're now looking at replacing several systems with it focusing on interface/data polling, we have a separate system that we will continue maintain to do SNMP trap handling. Right now we have just shy of 16k interfaces across 30 nodes, with another dozen or two to add to complete our cisco L3/L2 devices. I'm interested in adding new device types for our Cisco 15454 SONET and MSTP systems (and have read the Developing/NewOS document), however if these devices were to be added it would take our device count up north of 600, with a massive increase in interfaces. So I want to make sure I've got things setup well before going down that road. While performance is doing great thus far I'm concerned about things I can do to scale the system. Currently the system is a Xen VM with 4 cores and 4GB of ram, and the load average is staying right around 4 with 40% average CPU usage. Since we're not interested in alerting for interface/node up/down with Observium I've configured each device to ignore and disable alerting. I've also took out the various menu items poller modules for things that we don't need as well. And I need to look into interface names that can be ignored etc as well. I've not yet tried rrdcached but I'd like to see what impact that has on existing load. Does anyone else have any recommendations or additional best practices? I have some thoughts ideas on potential features that could be useful for other ISP users as well, however I don't want to flood the list right off the bat with an even more rambling email. Observium is a great tool, and though I'm not a programmer I'd love to help out however I can. Thanks, Berant

dlink snmp
by Nikolay Shopik 11 Nov '11

11 Nov '11

Hey, Does anyone here monitor D-link switches via SNMP? We had small devices which is pooling just fine, with pretty limited support, but still ok. And now trying out DGS-3120-24TC and it seems dying under snmp load when you add it on observium. And by dying I mean it become bunch of useless metal until you reboot it. So I wonder maybe anyone know which OID cause such behavior.

Anyone using 95th Billing?
by Mahomed Hussein 03 Nov '11

03 Nov '11

Hi Is anyone using 95th billing in observium? I've been having slowness issues with it, so I setup a new server, downloaded the latest version and cleared all the billing tables and let it start polling again. This was fine and the polling has been working. The page was loading in less than a second. As the days have gone on, the bills page has been getting slower and slower and now takes at least 20 seconds to load. I am just wondering if this is normal or if there is something wrong. Thanks.

We seeing once in while really huge peaks on some devices. In past we seen such when installing new device or/and doing maintenance on it. So we just ignore them in past, because they only broke graphs once in time. Does anyone seeing this too? Basically this looks like huge peak (10-100G) for about 5-10 min(2 scans). I've seen this on different devices, but all of them are Cisco afaik.

Include Server Port Type?
by Matthew Gyurgyik 11 Oct '11

11 Oct '11

The wiki[1] lists Server as a valid port type. The parser does all the work so that http://observium.ndcls.local/iftype/type=server/ works. All that is needed is a config option and a menu item. I have a patch that add these two things. However, codekiller brought up a valid point that all you'd have to do is search for server. http://observium.ndcls.local/ports/ifAlias=server/format=list_basic/ This works just as well, for me. Therefore I ask, do we want a menu link for the server port type? Yes - I'll provide a patch No - I'll create a wiki account and remove the offending information ~pyther [1] http://www.observium.org/wiki/Interface_Description_Parsing

Code to Delete interfaces that match bad_if?
by Matthew Gyurgyik 10 Oct '11

So I spent a lot of time digging through the code to figure out how bad_if works. I wanted to remove the stacking "ports" there were showing up. Added this code to my config: $config['bad_if'][] = "stack"; However the ports weren't getting removed. Upon further investigation I found that the current code only prevents the addition of a match. However, if the port is already in the database nothing is done. Is this the desired behaviour or should ports that match be removed from the database? ~pyther

Hi, I have just noticed that the Neighbours option has disappeared under the Ports Tab for some of the devices we monitor via Observium; this looks to have happened after upgrading to version 0.11.10.2654.

Dell OMSA
by John Macleod 05 Oct '11

I am curious what attributes of Dell's OMSA snmpd integration are polled by Observium? Pre OMSA install the host was identified as Generic, post OMSA install/SNMP SMUX integration it polls the model correctly but nothing else. Hardware is a PowerEdge 1950 III. Some quick googling suggests that the OIDs for PE 1950, 2650, 2950, etc are not the same - although temp, voltage, fan, etc should be available, and is via the OMSA interface. Thought I would reach out to any fellow Dell + Observium users. Thanks, John

VTY
by Bruce-Young Majola 20 Sep '11

20 Sep '11

Hi Adam, We have a need for the capability to monitor and graph the vty sessions on our Cisco gear since we have services that rely on the vty lines availability in order to work. I have digged and searched the Cisco website; link below; for info and it looks to be possible to do something like this using the OLD-CISCO-TS-MIB. I would like to have this graphed under the device Netstat tab, probably under the current UDP Statistics graph. I am specifically wanting to monitor the a number of active virtual-terminal at any one time. I am willing to program it into Observium if I can be shown how. I would appreciate you help. http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk648/tk362/technologies_tech_note09186a008… Regards, Bruce DISCLAIMER: The information in this message is confidential and may be legally privileged.

Hi, I just upgraded to version 0.11.9.2499 and noticed that when you click on the VRF icon under a Routing Tab; an empty overview screen is displayed, see below. In fact it seems to be the case that when you click on amythin under the Routing Tab, you get taken to the screen below. Is anyone else having this problem?

Memory,CPU and Device Traffic broken
by Bruce-Young Majola 19 Sep '11

19 Sep '11

Hi, Clicking the Memory, CPU and Device Traffic graphs under the device overview page takes one to the Recent Eventlog Entries. Adam I also have an issue now with the Cisco 7606 router that we monitor using the version 0.11.9.2499. The memory pools display 0% even though I get the correct values upon clicking the sub-items monitored. The problem manifested itself upon upgrading to version 0.11.9.2499 and it seems to be tied down to just the 7606 for now as all the other routers display the info correctly. -- Bruce-Young Majola Senior Operations Manager Swiftnet (Pty) Limited Fax: 012 665 0205 Tel: 012 686 3178 Cell: 082 336 6093 mail: brucem(a)fastnet.co.za DISCLAIMER: The information in this message is confidential and may be legally privileged.

Port Stack not working on newer versions
by Bruce-Young Majola 15 Sep '11

15 Sep '11

Hi, I running two versions of Observium; older one being 0.11.7.2395 and the latest being 0.11.9.2453. On the latest version under device ports I cannot see the ports that the device I am viewing connects to, like I did in the older version, see below. I suspect it has something to do with port stack feature that's gone missing. New version; Old version; The port stack module is enabled on both versions.
