SNMP - IPSEC VPN under VRF
by Dale Chambers 25 Sep '20

25 Sep '20

Hi, I am wondering if you can help. We have several Cisco 4331 routers which has IPSEC VPNs running inside a VRF, for some reason Observium is not able produce SNMP IPSEC tunnels within the VRF. Is there something I am missing?

Mikrotik Custom OID issue
by Joey Stanford 24 Sep '20

24 Sep '20

Hello All, I’ve run into a device specific issue with Mikrotik and am looking for some advice. I want to track a few MIB-defined variables like mtxrWlRtabStrength (signal strength, source https://mibs.observium.org/mib/MIKROTIK-MIB) and produce graphs. I added a custom OID for this but the snmpget command is failing. In theory, if I want to get data on OID .1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.1.2.1.3 I should be able to get it, but unfortunately snmpget in the poller errors out. It appears that for Mikrotik we need to attach the rest of the, and this is the problem, device-specific address to the OID. e.g. 1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.1.2.1.3 (and .0,.1) does not work but .1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.1.2.1.3.100.209.84.175.14.243.1 does. It will only get the data from that one device, not from any others. The easy way for me test this is to run the poller command: snmpget -t '10' -v1 -c xxx -Pud -OUQnv 'udp':'radio-leehill.nv0n.qth':'161’ 1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.1.2.1.3 Anyway, I’m wondering if there is a way in observium that I haven’t discovered yet that will get me graphs on various wireless activities from the registration table. The use case is to monitor things like signal strength and signal to noise to know when a wireless link is below a threshold. High winds up here tend to bend and destroy dishes even with a stiff-arm attached. Thanks, Joey ps. Adam, the Mikrotik MIB was updated on 15 Sept if you haven’t seen it: https://box.mikrotik.com/f/a41daf63d0c14347a088/?dl=1 <https://box.mikrotik.com/f/a41daf63d0c14347a088/?dl=1>

Web interface blank screen after last Update
by Marios.P＠crowe.com.cy 23 Sep '20

23 Sep '20

Hi, We have updated our Observium platform to the latest version CE 19.8 and we are facing the following issue. After finishing the upgrade using the instructions on the website we were able to access the web interface just once. When we logged in the first time after the upgrade we received a message that the php version also must be updated. After that we were unable to logon to the web interface (after login we see a blank screen) and we receive the following error in the apache error log: [Wed Sep 16 12:33:07 2020] [error] [client PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function password_hash() in /opt/observium/html/includes/authentication/mysql.inc.php on line 101, Is it possible to backup the configuration and update php version and use Observium installation again? If yes is there any guide how to perform the update? We have observium installed on a Debian 7 machine.

CheckPoint concurrent connections
by Joelly, Alexander 22 Sep '20

22 Sep '20

In older CE releases (2016/2017) the CheckPoint firewalls also were showing up the concurrent connections but the recent versions (CE, Pro and Enterprise) do not show that anymore. Can you please bring that graph back? Thanks, Alex [cid:image001.png@01D62AB4.9D1F6A90]

IOS XR device not recognized
by Marian Rychtecky 18 Sep '20

18 Sep '20

Hi all, I would like to ask for a hint or information I'm missing in oder to successfully monitor Cisco ASR9K (ASR9901-RP) running Cisco IOS XR Software, Version 7.0.1. I'm getting "Generic device" not Cisco device and for unknown reason I'm getting this LOG messages SNMP works just fine, as other graphs or values are being collected successfully. There is no error in observium.log and polling graphs looks good too. On top of that, every full discovery cycle (every 12 hours) we are getting full set of alarms from this device. Any idea please? Thank you Marian -- Marian Rychtecký mr(a)nix.cz Phone +420 724 397 441 NIX.CZ z.s.p.o. Americká 23, Praha 2 130 52 Czech Republic http://www.nix.cz

Average packet size throughout multiple ports
by Marian Rychtecky 18 Sep '20

18 Sep '20

Hi everyone, may I ask developers, if there is any chance to add "Aggregate average packet size" option to aggregated graphs? We have a need to have this statistics available throughout infrastructure. I would like to render average value calculated from all ports in "aggregation", therefore it's not aggregation in terms of values, but in terms of multiple ports calculation. Individual stats: Aggregates Thank you Marian -- Marian Rychtecký mr(a)nix.cz Phone +420 724 397 441 NIX.CZ z.s.p.o. Americká 23, Praha 2 130 52 Czech Republic http://www.nix.cz

Inventorying Merakis
by Lars Joergensen 14 Sep '20

14 Sep '20

Hi We have a bunch of Merakis in Observium, and we got the nice graphs and stuff. Then somebody asked for serial numbers for inventory purposes, and ... they're not there. I did an SNMP walk on a single Meraki device, and that's really sparse, explaining the lack of info in Observium. Then I added the Meraki dashboard (available at snmp.meraki.com), and let Observium have a look at that. It basically told me that it resides in San Francisco. Doing an SNMP walk on that does reveal all the necessary info, though, so it is there. Any plans on parsing the Meraki dashboard into Observium and get info on devices that way? If not, we can pull the serials from elsewhere, but it would be cool to know if it's coming.

SNMP Timeouts
by Luis Londoño 10 Sep '20

10 Sep '20

Hello, A couple of weeks ago some of our switches starting not responding to SNMP and are showing down now but I can ping them from the server that I have Observium on. Recently the server storage got filled up but I expanded the disk and has plenty of space now, but I still get timeouts even if I run the SNMPwalk from the Obserivum server. I reinstalled the snmp and snmpd packages on the server (ubuntu 20.04). Some switches are using v2c and those are working while the ones that aren't working are using v3. Wasn't sure if maybe I needed to reinstall some other packages or see what else I could do to fix this. Thank you

Re: [Observium] Alert on port utilisation percent ?

Milton, I disagree, for example, how do you set up a rule to apply to all devices (past and future)? It appears you cannot, however, you could in the past and that are what all the examples show. I like observium quite a lot, however, its these things (like documentation that is not current) that can really frustrate a user.

IPSEC Tunnel graphs - Def Error
by Dale Chambers 07 Sep '20

Hi, I we predominantly have Cisco devices which is monitored via Observium. I have noticed that there is an issue showing graphs of IPSEC Tunnels. I am not sure when this started to fail but I am on version 20.8.10644. I have checked amongst several different devices and they all show the same error. This is tested on ASA5506, ASA5525, Cisco 1921, Cisco 2911 and Cisco 4331. All graphs shows 'Def Error' [cid:image007.png@01D6829C.C6E0D220] How do I resolved this issue? I have already tried running the discovery.php -h all, and I have even upgraded to 20.9.10652 and still having the same issue.

Enabling MIB and custom values support
by Marian Rychtecky 07 Sep '20

07 Sep '20

Hi all, I do have two questions with different topics, but I didn't want to send multiple emails. Hope you don't mind. First question is probably very simple, however I cannot find out - I need to collect information from Cisco devices using " CISCO-NETWORK-VIRTUALIZATION-OVERLAY-MIB". This MIB is part of Observium. How I will "activate" collecting these MIB values from a device please? I do have almost all modules active and I don't know how to add MIB to a certain device (not all devices, just 3 of them). Second question - as more and more devices (such as Arista) are giving up on SNMP turning slowly to REST APIs or similar methods, is there any way to push information to Observium using its own (python/php) script? I would imagine any kind of value mapping to graphs and then collecting values from scripts or JSON file.... Thank you for your time and support.

Connect to device icon?
by Chris Macneill 05 Sep '20

05 Sep '20

Hi, I was sure at one point there was a "Connect to device/terminal" icon in Observium, but either I'm mistaken and it was never there or now so buried I can no longer find it. Whilst hostnames and/or IP addresses are shown in Observium, they generally have active links attached to them to take you to other screens in Observium, this makes it hard to copy these into a Browser to gain access to the device's GUI. It would be nice to have a "Connect to device" icon next to the IP/Hostname that will make it much easier to click through to the device's own GUI. We recently started using Ubiquiti's UNMS monitoring system which is good for Ubiquiti devices, but pretty lousy for anything else. UNMS has a "Copy to clipboard" icon next to each IP address making it really easy to then connect to the device's GUI. I like the "Copy to clipboard" method rather than a URL link, as this is generic and you can then copy and paste into a browser or any other application. Regards Chris Macneill

Alert Check - Monitoring Cisco Stack Redundancy
by Mezzadri, Steven 01 Sep '20

01 Sep '20

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me write a better alert checker to determine if a Cisco stack has a missing member. Occasionally, one member of a stack will fail, but the stack continues to operate so it's not in a "down" state. I would like to get a notification when that happens. I am currently monitoring all stack ports, but any unused stack ports show "down" as well, so I'm looking for a better solution. [image: image.png] I would like to use another status indicator such as "stack is redundant" or "stacking state": [image: image.png] Perhaps cswRingRedundant ? [image: image.png] Could anyone assist me with how to construct an alert check to accomplish this? Thanks! -- Steven Mezzadri Network Engineer

Syslog alert checker functionality / OID "group" alerts (FC Port Monitoring)
by Markus Mohr 24 Aug '20

24 Aug '20

Hiya! Two questions or requests for some problems that just showed up. 1. Syslog with additional alert checker functionality We use observiums syslogserver for most of our systems and syslog alerts of course. Problem is, we can't set a delay. Like 1 system, 4 reports in 10 Minutes = alert. Is there any way this could be implemented or is already planned for observium? Main reason is, that we have some systems that need to alert, but only after a specific threshold. Otherwise we get flooded with senseless alarms. Waking up in the middle of the night because of a false alert sucks a bit :) 2. Building OID groups / FC Port monitoring We need a check for our FC switches to report, if a port has the wrong config and runs as FL instead of F. MIB and custom OID are no problem in this case, would be OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.75.1.2.1.1.3 - and it works. BUT I need to add a custom OID for every port, so 1.3.6.1.2.1.75.1.2.1.1.3.1.1, 1.3.6.1.2.1.75.1.2.1.1.3.1.2 etc. and create an alert check for every OID. Adding 24 or more custom OID etc. and the checks . well, sucks a bit. Any idea how this could be better managed? Best wishes Markus MOHR IT-Infrastruktur TakeASP AG

Ghost devices in alert checker
by Daniel Johansson 19 Aug '20

19 Aug '20

Hi I created a new alert checker today and it seems I have 2 ghost devices showing up now. Neither of the other alert checkers have them showing up. Could there be some issue in the db or can I find out which devices it picks up? When I click on the entitys it just says: No valid device specified A valid device was not specified in the URL. Please retype and try again. -- Any ideas? ---- Regards Daniel
