Google Maps on dashboard
by Lars Joergensen 11 Sep '20

11 Sep '20

Hi Finally figured out how to make locations work properly by paying for the Google geocoding API. The map on the dashboard is provided by OpenSteetMap. Any way to make that map provided by Google instead, so we can get the satellite view?

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.

The only thing that has really change is the association rule set. Instead of it being a text entry like the test conditions, there is now an expression builder, but the fields and operators are still the same. That should be easier that before. The test/check condition documentation is still relevant. That hasn't changed.

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

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

I'm using the Subscription version, so maybe I remember from the days before we paid and were using the CE version.

Reducing WiFi Error Alerts

Hi, We get a lot of WiFi error alerts from Ubiquiti devices clogging up our event log.

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

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

Hi, We upgraded a Junos Pulse VPN box to a newer version and since the device is changed to a Linux Device. Our service provider contacted also Junos but they couldn't help they said in the first place. Anything you can do to help getting the right discovery again?

Something like autobackup ?
by Edvinas Kairys 29 Jul '20

29 Jul '20

hello, As the standalone Observium server grows with more and more devices, rules, checkers, etc. The possibility of losing that all due to hardware failure would make me mad. Is there any best practices of making the backups of Observium data to make the emergency restore more faster than from zero ? Thanks

I would like to have more information in my email alert messages. - Adding the names to DNS or hosts file does not currently give enough information.

Hi Your solution does work for changing the name from IP address to hostname. (In the picture below I removed the device from web interface and readded it so the history got deleted.) What I can see is that the Device name is now in 3 places where previously the IP address was: Email Title, Entity and Device. As we also have very many network devices that we want to monitor then we think that adding all those IP addresses with hostnames manually to the DNS (or hosts file) is not very practical, especially if we need to to it also with future devices. Maybe there still is a possibility that we can change the email contents with some other fields: adding Description, Location or something like that? Someone maybe knows where this template config file is located?

Login to the Observium server CLI and use the script "rename_device.php <old_name> <new_name>" where the old name is the device IP and the new name is the hostname. This will rename the device in Observium to its real hostname and the poller will just resolve its dns name to find the IP to poll. All the historic data for the device will remain. /Markus Den tors 16 juli 2020 kl 14:01 skrev Risto Jürisson via observium < observium(a)observium.org<mailto:observium@observium.org>>: > Hi > > > > This is my first message to this list.

Changing Observium alert message contents
by Risto Jürisson 16 Jul '20

16 Jul '20

Hi This is my first message to this list. I also wrote to the IRC on different days, but the web-based IRC client is not really good as information goes missing after disconnecting and relogging. We have Observium running on Ubuntu 16.04 and are monitoring different Windows servers and also some network devices. Below there is a pic of an alert for a Mikrotik wifi device that has gone down. We added the device to Observium via IP and therefore we also see the Device name with the IP address. Sadly we do not remember all the devices via their IP, but rather their hostname or description. I have set human-friendly names on the observium web interface to device "System name" value and also under "General Device Settings" to "Description" value. - Is there a possibility to add those fields to the email report and where should I do this? >From IRC channel I got an answer that the email template can be changed for the Observium Pro version but I do not know where to find this config file. This can not be done in the web interface as I understand. [cid:image001.png@01D65B81.16F78F80] (I also have questions on how to monitor services on Windows Server but I think that is via SNMP and specific OID/MIB´s. So I will look into that myself first.)

Cannot create RRD for type exim - not found in definitions

Running latest rolling release 20.6.10499. Trying to add Exim stats via the Unix agent. Seems RRD definitions are missing for the 'exim' application, they only exist for the 'exim-mailqueue' application'.

Varnish Agent not working
by Simone Montagnani 15 Jul '20

15 Jul '20

Hi, I have already used varnish agent on a server with version 4, now I'm trying to let it work on varnish version 6.4. observium_agent is responding, but the result of varnish agent is empty : <<<app-varnish>>> ;;;;;;;;;;;;; instead of: <<<app-varnish>>> 212916238;0;0;1393;0;;0;0;393297;1216912816;160350799;0;657384598; like I have on the old one. If I lunch perl varnish I don't get any particular error, maybe the agent must be updated to work with new versions? I see varnish perl script is using varnishstat -x , and the results are somehow different from the old varnish version: VARNISH 6.4: <?xml version="1.0"?> <varnishstat timestamp="2020-07-01T15:38:00"> <stat> <name>MGT.uptime</name> <value>60710</value> <flag>c</flag> <format>d</format> <description>Management process uptime</description> </stat> <stat> <name>MGT.child_start</name> <value>1</value> <flag>c</flag> <format>i</format> <description>Child process started</description> </stat> <stat> <name>MGT.child_exit</name> <value>0</value> <flag>c</flag> <format>i</format> <description>Child process normal exit</description> </stat> <stat> <name>MGT.child_stop</name> <value>0</value> <flag>c</flag> <format>i</format> <description>Child process unexpected exit</description> </stat> <stat> <name>MGT.child_died</name> <value>0</value> <flag>c</flag> <format>i</format> <description>Child process died (signal)</description> </stat> VARNISH 4 <?xml version="1.0"?> <varnishstat timestamp="2020-07-01T15:37:43"> <stat> <type>MAIN</type> <name>uptime</name> <value>13848724</value> <flag>c</flag> <format>d</format> <description>Child process uptime</description> </stat> <stat> <type>MAIN</type> <name>sess_conn</name> <value>250458042</value> <flag>c</flag> <format>i</format> <description>Sessions accepted</description> </stat> <stat> <type>MAIN</type> <name>sess_drop</name> <value>0</value> <flag>c</flag> <format>i</format> <description>Sessions dropped</description> </stat> <stat> <type>MAIN</type> <name>sess_fail</name> <value>0</value> <flag>c</flag> <format>i</format> <description>Session accept failures</description> </stat> <stat> <type>MAIN</type> <name>client_req_400</name> <value>1236</value> <flag>c</flag> <format>i</format> <description>Client requests received, subject to 400 errors</description> </stat> I tried to change the code, because as you can see the parameters are similar but the name now have a prefix like MGT, but mostly "MAIN." for the parameters we are trying to get . I'm no perl esxpert I tried simply to add MAIN. but it still isn't working... Any ideas? Best regards, Simone
