Question regarding switch Ports
by Svensson Fredrik A 15 Apr '20

15 Apr '20

Hello! We have this nice status-graph in observium: [cid:image001.png@01D61338.1A381E30] Is it possible to get an output of a procentage of used user-ports? In my example I have 17/27 = 63% utilization of ports. I dont want to count in ports that are shutdown, often trunk or sfp-ports. Vlan interfaces /port-channels and so on is also counted as UP, but I dont really care about that. Regards Fredrik

Hi Fredrik, you can try creating a custom port group of relevant ports and ask for a feature request in Observium Jira to add „Percentage View“ in „Aggregate Graphs“ view for custom port groups.

Observium on CentOS 8
by Michael Spaulding 15 Apr '20

15 Apr '20

Has anyone had any luck installing Observium on Centos/RHEL 8 yet? And is there any plan to support it in the future? I'm trying to do so and not getting any errors, but I've also been unable to get the graphing to work. The only packages I've been unable to install are php-sodium and MySQL-python, but I got the impression they weren't absolutely necessary from the basic software requirements. The RRD commands appear to run correctly: RRDTool Output: 1233x369 RRDtool Runtime: 0.073s | Total time: 0.074s Michael Spaulding | Systems Administrator Information Technology | Division of Student Affairs 1259 TAMU | College Station, TX 77843-1259 ph: 979.458.9223 | mspaulding(a)tamu.edu | doit.tamu.edu - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY

Using Observium after moving VM
by Leo Dano 10 Apr '20

10 Apr '20

Hello all, Been scratching my head on this one. All I did is move the Observium VM from one network to another (closed). I cannot seem to figure out why I cannot add new hosts. No firewalls in the way. SNMP verified running on the host. Hosts are pinging each other. Is there a command to verify what is wrong between Observium and a host and why it's not adding? I am using public as the SNMP community name. One thing that does seem odd is this message when trying to add a host. No reply on given community *** using v2c, it showing the 3 asterisks versus it saying public. Any suggestions would be awesome! Leo

Apache dies with Segmentation Fault
by Beulen, Klaus 09 Apr '20

09 Apr '20

Hi, we are currently using Observium CE 19.8.10000 as a test installation to monitor part of our switch/router infrastructure (currently about 290 devices, mostly Cisco). From time to time we have problems accessing the UI, the web browser just answers "Page does not work - observium did not send an answer - ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE". When I check the error.log in /var/logs/apache, I find lots of lines like ... [Wed Apr 08 14:44:44.362412 2020] [core:notice] [pid 1367] AH00051: child pid 27005 exit signal Segmentation fault (11), possible coredump in /etc/apache2 [Wed Apr 08 14:44:44.362479 2020] [core:notice] [pid 1367] AH00051: child pid 1696 exit signal Segmentation fault (11), possible coredump in /etc/apache2 [Wed Apr 08 14:44:53.366005 2020] [core:notice] [pid 1367] AH00051: child pid 7903 exit signal Segmentation fault (11), possible coredump in /etc/apache2 ... Is this a known bug/error in this version, or did I eventually configure something wrong? All packages are up to date ("apt update; apt upgrade"). Regards, Klaus.

How to exclude temperature sensors from virtual machines?
by Thomas Stather 08 Apr '20

08 Apr '20

Hi We are using Observium Professional: 20.2.10301 (rolling) Some of our VMs (ESXi) have temperature sensors shown in Observium (either green 100deg. or red 0deg.). This doesn't make any sense and i am searching for a way to disable this. The strange thing is that this happens only for some of our VMs (regardless of the distribution).

An Event Log annoyance
by Richard Kuhns 08 Apr '20

08 Apr '20

Hello, I'm currently running Observium 20.4.10353(rolling) in my test (home office) environment. I had to restart everything 2 days ago when I brought in a new desk and rearranged. I'm monitoring 4 devices: a server (running observium), a Cisco ASA 5505 firewall, a Cisco wireless access point, and an APC UPS with Web/SNMP Management card. Everything is working fine since the restart, except that every 5 minutes I get a new entry in the Event log telling me about how my ASA rebooted; I'm attaching a screenshot. That's the only device that's showing up in the event log. How can I convince observium that it doesn't need to keep telling me about it? Thanks, - Richard -- Richard Kuhns <rjk(a)wintek.com> Systems Administrator Wintek Powered by Tipmont Main: 765-742-8428 Direct: 765-269-8541

Issues with IP SLA
by Cartas, Mauro S. 08 Apr '20

08 Apr '20

Hello experts, Need some help to understand how observium handles IPSLA probes links. We have a fully working weathermap with IP sla information (jitter, echo, etc) all nice with nodes and links. Links are configured this way: LINK A-B INFOURL /graphs/type=sla_jitter/id=10495/ OVERLIBGRAPH /graph.php?height=100&width=512&id=10495&type=sla_jitter&legend=no INBWFORMAT {link:this:bandwidth_in:%0} OUTBWFORMAT {link:this:bandwidth_out:%d} BWLABELPOS 50 50 TARGET gauge:../../rrd/router_A/sla_jitter-cisco-rttmon-mib-1100020-LMR_IO.rrd:rtt:rtt NODES Chicago Washington BANDWIDTH 34 Now the problem that we have is that when observium server loses connectivity with router_A (i.e. network outage, check below) It will generate a new ID for the link to the graphic hence we have to go to the editor and update INFOURL and OVERLIBGRAPH ID values. As shown below the ID is 12961 for SLA 1100020 whereas above the ID configured was 10495. [cid:image002.jpg@01D6075C.16B03280] [cid:image006.jpg@01D6075C.16B03280] This becomes very annoying as we cannot maintain a fully working IPSLA map and we're not sure why it's constantly generating new ids. [cid:image007.jpg@01D6075C.16B03280] Hope there is a way to force this ID not to change and remain static no matter what happens as the device ID never changes.

Traffic Comparison widget wrong after moving interfaces between routers
by Darrell Budic 03 Apr '20

03 Apr '20

Folk, I recently added some new routers and then moved interfaces from the old to the new. The transit and peering graphs picked up the new interfaces just fine, but the Traffic Comparison widget on the front page hasn’t. Any ideas on getting it to update? Observium pro 20.3.10324 (stable). I’ve tried deleting and re-adding the widget, and it’s had a discovery run since the change. Thanks, -Darrell

Alerting switch stack status
by Eric W. Bates 02 Apr '20

02 Apr '20

I want to alert whenever one switch in a stack drops out. And I need help composing a checker. Specifically, I have stacks of cisco 2960-X switches linked via flex stack modules such that they appear as a single switch for purposes of ping'ing or snmp. On occasion, one switch in the stack will fail, but the rest of the stack stays on-line and continues to respond to pings, etc. I believe I want to watch the Status entity: Stack is redundant CISCO-STACKWISE-MIB::cswRingRedundant.0 https://mibs.observium.org/mib/CISCO-STACKWISE-MIB/#cswRingRedundant Each stacking module has two cables and one runs cables such that all the switches are in a big loop. cswRingRedundant is a boolean that indicates that such a loop is intact. So it will be False if a switch dies or simply if a cable is unplugged (also a desirable alert). If the switch is a standalone with no stacking modules installed, you get: "No Such Object available on this agent at this OID" I've created a Status entry: <?xml version="1.0"?> <templates> <template type="alert" description="Autogenerated observium template" version="0.91" created="Wed, 01 Apr 2020 11:51:32 -0400" observium="20.2.10302" id="fbe29724e648671f6e2095e9425d7515"> <entity_type>status</entity_type> <name>2960_stack_loop_redundancy</name> <message>Stack loop redundancy has failed (might be a missing stack switch)</message> <severity>crit</severity> <suppress_recovery>0</suppress_recovery> <delay>0</delay> <conditions_and>1</conditions_and> <conditions>status_name == Stack is redundant</conditions> <conditions>status_event == warn</conditions> <conditions_complex>status_name == Stack is redundant AND status_event == warn</conditions_complex> </template> </templates> It doesn't appear to be working (I have one switch with a cable unplugged it should alert on). Do I just have to wait 5 minutes? Or does it read the status from the database? Is that the correct "status_name?" I copied it from the Health --> Status page "Description" column. Should it be quoted? The export XML doesn't include the associations, but I included: device.hardware regexp /.*WS-C2960X-.*/ I don't really know what the value of "device.hardware" might be, but I'm assuming it's the same as the field labeled "Vendor/Hardware" shown on the front page for a given switch? Thanks for your time. -- Clark 159a, MS 46 508/289-3112 -- Clark 159a, MS 46 508/289-3112

Port group and aggregated graphs
by Daniel Johansson 01 Apr '20

01 Apr '20

Hi I added a port group to be able to have an aggregated graph but the graph does not seems to aggregate the ports usage in one graph. See the attached pictures as reference. Site1 have 137Mbit in and 160Mbit out and a spike at over 200Mbit Site2 have 38Mbit in and 80 out and a spike at over 140Mbit The aggregated graph does not show much more than a bit over 100Mbit both in and out in total and with the spike it should show around 340Mbit What has caused this irregularity to happen and should it be like this? ---- Regards Daniel

Re: [Observium] Dynamic Network Map
by Chris Wopat 28 Mar '20

28 Mar '20

This does exist, go to <your_url>/map.php Its use varies greatly on the number of devices you have. It uses `dot` from `graphviz` which you must have installed and configured in config.php ($config['dot']) Also each port shows LLDP neighbors if you go to /neighbors/, and there should be a sub-tab of an interface called 'Map' to show you 1 level of connections. Also, please share your php7 changes for weathermap to that project, we did similar a few years ago but Im not sure if they actually got committed. > > From: Richard Wigzell [mailto:richard.wigzell@it.ox.ac.uk] > Sent: Friday, March 27, 2020 10:21 AM > To: Methe, Mike <mmethe(a)brattlebororetreat.org>; 'Observium' <observium(a)observium.org> > Subject: RE: Dynamic Network Map > > Yes, we already make extensive use of the php-weathermap plugin with some code modifications to better support php7. > > What we are looking for is something that will dynamically draw a network relationship map using XDP data, with the ability to limit the scope to a defined set of devices. > > Weathermap is good for showing network utilization of infrastructure networks (well understood, defined use and good documentation) but not so useful for our ad-hoc or campus stuff (so yeah we don't know what this switch in this cupboard is for but if it goes off this breaks etc). >

Dynamic Network Map
by Richard Wigzell 27 Mar '20

27 Mar '20

Hello, This is a feature we would find very useful, a dynamic network map that can be confined to a defined group of switches (e.g. from LibreNMS https://docs.librenms.org/Extensions/Network-Map/ ). Is this something Observium can already do? Or something that could be added? We are currently using Observium Enterprise (20.2.10291) and have zero interest in also running LibreNMS (or anything else) but this is feature we would really appreciate. The use case we are trying to address is the new on boarding of campus networks previously run by local IT that now fall under our remit (often with little or very poor or just wrong documentation).

Hi, I am pretty sure it Is very stable.

SVN Updates don't appear to be working
by Chris Macneill 18 Mar '20

18 Mar '20

Hi, Some weeks ago I updated successfully to v10304, but since then any time since that when I do an "svn update", it says successfully updated, but no files are downloaded and the version shown on the webpage remains at v10304. I understood that the daily updates were copied to the Stable Branch weekly, but this doesn't appear to be the case currently??? I'm interested in getting a fix that was made in v10306, but can't get it and when I looked at changing our SVN update source to the daily update branch, Adam advised against this. Regards Chris Macneill

Hello there! In these times where you might want to now how many users are using VPN to your cisco-device the information is available through custom OID.

I was able to get this working and it is a really great tip Btw, Josh, I used .29.0 for L2L tunnels and am getting the right numbers… I used http://www.mibdepot.com/cgi-bin/getmib3.cgi?i=1&n=CISCO-REMOTE-ACCESS-MONIT… to research. I think .26 is all IPSEC connections, that would include client to site IPSEC as well as site to site.

Creating check on sensors which only have measured up state
by Previder Network 06 Mar '20

06 Mar '20

Hi Observium Community, Hopefully someone can help me here. I'm using Observium Professional Edition. I'm struggling creating a check on sensors of type dBm which only has measured up state. When i go to Health -> dBm i see al my ports power levels. I can filter there on sensor event "critical". Then i'm getting a nice overview of ports which are below threshold. But most of these ports are down. So many of them are false positives and i'm not interested in them. Then we have the option "Measured State". Over there i can select "Measured Up" and then i'm getting the exact list i want. So i would like to create a check based on this. But when creating a check and assigning associations i'm not able to match based on the "Measured UP" state. In the groups section i'm also having this limitation. Am i overlooking something or is this not possible of hopefully i need to do this another way. Many thanks! Kind Regards, Nick Derksen, Previder B.V
