Unix-agent added to linux storage box but observium excludes it
by Cody Cook 09 May '19

09 May '19

[image: image.png] The unix-agent is excluded for this device but it runs and responds to unix-agent when using telnet. I have tried to manually discover and poll the unix-agent module with their respective php scripts but I still couldn't get any details to happen. Is there an override in the mysql database or an option I can force in config.php to force enable unix-agent at the device level? Thank you, Cody

Houskeeping question
by Joelly, Alexander 07 May '19

07 May '19

Hello, Currently with multiple distributed and partinioned pollers I only have the poller-wrapper.php process in the 5min schedule on the pollers and the discovery and housekeeping on the rrd-cache server. Is that okay or do I need to run the discovery and housekeeping also on the pollers? I'm asking because I have a device deleted, last rrd file was updated on 25. April and housekeeping settings 'RRD File Max Age' & 'Remove Deleted Ports Age' to 7d - and I actually set 'Remove Deleted Ports Age' to 2d but still have the rrd directory of the deleted device. Thought I would set the pollers 'only' for polling and do the discovery and housekeeping on the rrd server (as it's probably more efficient?) or is it not working that way? Thanks, Alex

Adjust rrd step size per device
by Steffen Klemer 06 May '19

06 May '19

Hey list, how much work would it be to have an option to adjust the rrd step size per device? Background is that we have a HP/H3C chassis that even with latest firmware takes average 1000s to poll; with fdb already disabled. 98% of the time is spent in the ports module, polling ifEntry and ifxEntry. We'd really like to at least get an hourly graph of the traffic which is better then nothing. The idea is to put this dev into its own group and have a different cron job for it (excluding this group from the default one). We do have a case with HP that is open for 2 years so the 'tell the vendor that their SNMP engine is crap'-part was already done... lg Steffen -- Steffen Klemer E-Mail: steffen.klemer(a)gwdg.de Tel: +49 551 201 2170 ------------------------------------------------------------------ GWDG - Gesellschaft für wissenschaftliche Datenverarbeitung mbH Göttingen Am Faßberg 11, 37077 Göttingen Service-Hotline: Tel: +49 551 201-1523 E-Mail: support(a)gwdg.de Kontakt: Tel: 0551 201-1510 Fax: 0551 201-2150 E-Mail: gwdg(a)gwdg.de WWW: https://www.gwdg.de ------------------------------------------------------------------ Geschäftsführer: Prof. Dr. Ramin Yahyapour Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender: Prof. Dr. Christian Griesinger Sitz der Gesellschaft: Göttingen Registergericht: Göttingen, Handelsregister-Nr.

RRDCached issue - HELP!
by Hamilton, Kent 06 May '19

Starting this weekend rrdcached appears to have stopped working correctly. Has anyone seen an issue with this? We've been using it for a long time and it seems to have broken totally early Sat morning (somewhere around 1 to 2 AM) Running the poller with debug doesn't give me a status any more, and I have hundreds of rrdtool processes being spawned to the point it actually took over most of the disk IO on our NAS on Saturday. /opt/observium# poller.php -h localhost -m system -dd | grep RRD RRDtool 1.7.0 Copyright by Tobias Oetiker <tobi(a)oetiker.ch> RRDCacheD 1.7.0 o RRDtool 1.7.0 (rrdcached 1.7.0: unix:/var/run/rrdcached.sock) RRD PIPE OPEN[TRUE] o RRDTool Usage (0s 0%) RRD PIPE CLOSE[TRUE] The host setup is: Ubuntu 18.04 Observium Professional 19.5.9870 PHP Weathermap 0.97b rrdcached 1.7.0-1build1 rrdtool-1.7.0-1build1 PHP 7.2 The rrdcached command line is /usr/bin/rrdcached -B -R -F -L -w 1800 -z 1800 -f 3600 -t 10 -b /opt/observium/rrd -j /var/lib/rrdcached/journal/ -G www-data -U www-data -p /var/run/rrdcached.pid -s www-data -m 0660 -l unix:/var/run/rrdcached.sock Really need to get this one solved if anyone can offer help. ________________________________ This e-mail and any documents accompanying it may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information belonging to Exegy, Inc.

Pollers and RRD files
by Joelly, Alexander 05 May '19

05 May '19

Hi, When using a dedicated rrd caching server - for what is the local /opt/observium/rrd caching folder used for? In our setup we created a dedicated rrd-caching server and several distributed and partitioned pollers and would expect the rrd's are only written/updated on the rrd-caching server and do not need much diskspace on the pollers but it seems the rrd's are also written on the pollers? Is that on purpose (fallback - rrd server unavailable) or what is the need of the rrd's on the pollers when using a rrd-caching server? Thanks, Alex

BGP Neighbor Descriptions
by Richard Savage 02 May '19

02 May '19

Hi We have observium v19.4.9840 (rolling) setup and working great with alerting for BGP sessions going down. For BGP sessions with public AS Numbers this works well as it shows up which AS number and who the AS number is assigned to as gone down: But when its a private AS number with a private IP, its then much harder to distinguish what the BGP neighbor is related to without logging into the router and looking at the neighbor and the neighbor descriptions set against the BGP neighbor: In most routers you can set a description against a BGP neighbor in the config. Is it possible to get this description attached to the BGP neighbor in observium thus then adding it to the alert when the BGP neighbor goes down? This is the config on a Cisco ASR9K for the above neighbor: router bgp 65000 neighbor 100.127.18.181 description USG1-GREE Could this description be pulled and added to the neighbor and thus alert? More than happy to provide some debug if required and any SNMP data that might be helpful. Many Thanks Richard

Auto Discovery
by Adam R. Koczarski 02 May '19

02 May '19

Hello, I’m new to this group and to Observium. A friend turned me on to it a few weeks ago. I have Observium 19.3.9774 running on Ubuntu 18.04.2LTS. Everything is working great! I’ve added my switches and LLDP and SNMP data is flowing in and all of the cross-references have been established. My question pertains to adding new devices. I can successfully add new devices via the GUI or the CLI as described in the documentation. My friend was telling me he <thinks> devices can be detected and added to the device list automatically via some sort of discovery?? Is this a thing or is he pulling my leg?

new alert checks?
by Tony Guadagno 02 May '19

02 May '19

Hi, I am currently using the current ce version (Observium CE 18.9.9420). After upgrading from the previous ce version, i see the alert checks have completely changed. the alert checks i had still seem to function, but when I try to modify them, the fields are all different....I am getting the impression that there is an alert conversion script? I have looked for docs on how to use the new alert checks but cannot find any. Can you please point me to a page that explains how to use the new alert checks and how to fix the upgraded alert checks. thanks! Tony

Voltage/Current Sensor anomalies on Cisco SG200/SF300 switches
by Serge Caron 01 May '19

01 May '19

Greetings! I have a number of SF300-24P (802.3af), SF300-24PP (802.3at), SF300-48P, and SG200-26P Cisco switches, all at firmware revision 1.4.8.6 (There is a newer firmware 1.4.10.06 published 4 days ago: I will install this only if required). The voltage/current sensors are constantly complaining that they are either under/over threshold. For example, below are the logs on a port drawing 3500 mW for a Ubiquiti Unifi access point model UAP-AC-M: voltage range from 0V (!) to 92V for a device that should draw 37 to 57 V PoE levels. I have 29 of these devices scattered over the network and I can rule out simple malfunction of any/all devices. More intriguing is the 0.0975A current "threshold" used to issue these warnings: it does not make sense if Watts are still the product of Volts by Ampps ;-). Is it possible that the MiB for these devices is out of whack? I recently updated my Observium CE to 18.9.9420 (5th September 2018) but this issue has been annoying me for quite some time. Please note that I have similar results for all kinds of IP cameras : however, I do not have issues for ports that are connected to Cisco SG200-08 PoE switches and for which the only warnings I get is when the output voltage suddenly drops to zero. Unfortunately, these devices do not support SNMP.

apcupsd UPS monitoring
by Nagy Attila 27 Apr '19

27 Apr '19

Hi All, we have a few Linux servers which are fed through APC Smart UPSs. Rather small ones, so no network management card, they are being monitored by apcupsd. We would be very happy to see the/some values of the UPSs in Observium. What I've done: I extended snmpd with a script from https://github.com/jirutka/apcupsd-snmp which makes some values from apcupsd available under |.1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1| which in turn belongs to PowerNet-MIB (aka APC). I can read those values with snmpwalk (see p.s.) so the script works. Observium already contains PowerNet-MIB, but no graph for these values are appearing. I suppose Observium does not query for PowerNet-MIB for anything other than APC OS, or maybe it looks for some other conditions as well? My question: is there a way to make Observium query and use these values for other OS's (like Linux) as well ? Regards, Tylla Ps: please feel free to correct any bad assumption/statement I made! Ps: here is my current output (MIB errors excluded) from snmpwalk in case it helps: snmpwalk -m ALL -v 2c -c public localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1 PowerNet-MIB::upsBasicIdentModel.0 = STRING: "Smart-UPS 750" PowerNet-MIB::upsBasicIdentName.0 = STRING: "test" PowerNet-MIB::upsAdvIdentFirmwareRevision.0 = STRING: "COM 02.1 / UPS.05.I" PowerNet-MIB::upsAdvIdentSerialNumber.0 = STRING: "AS1108112010" PowerNet-MIB::upsBasicBatteryTimeOnBattery.0 = Timeticks: (0) 0:00:00.00 PowerNet-MIB::upsAdvBatteryCapacity.0 = Gauge32: 100 PowerNet-MIB::upsAdvBatteryRunTimeRemaining.0 = Timeticks: (144000) 0:24:00.00 PowerNet-MIB::upsAdvBatteryNominalVoltage.0 = INTEGER: 24 PowerNet-MIB::upsAdvBatteryActualVoltage.0 = INTEGER: 27 PowerNet-MIB::upsBasicOutputStatus.0 = INTEGER: onLine(2) PowerNet-MIB::upsAdvConfigAlarm.0 = INTEGER: never(3) PowerNet-MIB::upsAdvConfigLowBatteryRunTime.0 = Timeticks: (30000) 0:05:00.00

Migrated from 16.04 to 18.04 and rrd stopped writing?
by Simon Mousey Smith 24 Apr '19

24 Apr '19

Hi All Im trying to find out if I have done something wrong or maybe missed something? I have done a migrate from ubuntu 16.04 to ubuntu 18.04 and now ALL of my RRDs have stopped being written? 1. mysqldump to backup, scp file to new server, then mysql to restore 2. Scp the whole rrd folder from old server to new server 3. Scp the old config.php to new server Only thing I have done differently is use the setup script instead of manually installing observium On the new server the rrd folder shows drwxrwsr-x 60 observium www-data 4.0K Apr 24 16:29 rrd But the old server shows it as drwxr-xr-x 60 www-data www-data 12K Apr 24 15:57 rrd One of the folders inside rrd show this drwxr-xr-x 2 root www-data 4096 Apr 24 15:58 localhost And an rrd file shows this -rw-r--r-- 1 root www-data 115K Apr 24 15:58 perf-poller.rrd Did I overwrite the folder permissions by accident?

Graph Widget Legend
by Brian Weeks 19 Apr '19

19 Apr '19

How can I get the front page Graph Widget to show the legend? I have had no luck enabling the legend on the graph page and then telling it to add to a dashboard it just does not show. As a matter of fact, the URL for the widget says legend=no. The legend is very important for us to know exactly how much bandwidth is being used on a particular link. -- Brian Weeks Network Engineer CCNA, MCSE, ACMT, A+, Network+, Security+ Brenham ISD 1301 Niebuhr St. Brenham, TX 7783 Office: (979) 277-3760 ext. 2249 Email: bweeks(a)brenhamk-12.net Website: http://www.brenhamisd.net --

seems i got something broken with geolocation
by Joelly, Alexander 18 Apr '19

18 Apr '19

during setup of distribution and partitioned poller, autodiscovery and mapquest I obviously did something wrong and messed up the geolocation feature - newly added devices are all only added to the default location. /opt/observium/logs/db.log on all pollers gets filled with: [2019/04/18 20:57:44 +0000] discovery.php(17511): Failed dbQuery (#1054 - Unknown column 'devices.location_id' in 'where clause'), Query: SELECT `device_id` FROM `devices` WHERE ( `devices`.`location_id` = '9') Thanks, Alex

Hello, Just wanted to mention that the apache config file generated/installed from install script has an incorrect access and error log destination set.

Hello, On the Dashboard in the Alerts Status widget the mouseover popups for the 'Failed Tests' (small blue icon with the 'I') is not working - when going to the Alerts page it's working there. In the global settings the mouseover popups is enabled. Is that a known or already fixed issue or something on my side not set properly? r9774 Thanks, Alex

alerts in latest community version
by Tony Guadagno 17 Apr '19

17 Apr '19

Hi, I am currently using the current ce version (Observium CE 18.9.9420). After upgrading, i see the alerts have completely changed. the alerts i had still seem to function, but when I try to modify them, the fields are all different....I am getting the impression that there is an alert conversion script? I have looked for docs on how to use the new alerts but cannot find any. Can you please point me to a page that explains how to use the new alerts and how to fix the upgraded alerts. thanks!

No RAM graphs are displayed for network devices
by Vladimir R 16 Apr '19

16 Apr '19

Hello. I have observium version 19.3.9791. Apparently, earlier it was possible to monitor the amount of occupied RAM on network devices. In the application there is a screenshot which shows that there were such graph on the device. On new devices there are no such graphs. How can I fix this? Perhaps there is not enough parameter in the configuration? -- The best regards! Vladimir R.

Alert Checker question
by Tim Grossner 11 Apr '19

11 Apr '19

I have an Observium question - I am looking to create an alert for Palo Alto Networks firewall's session count, ideally one that fires when the session percentage goes above 85%. How would I build such a checker? I have tested a couple of different ways, and not been able to get one to fire. The MIB contains references such as: panSessionUtilization OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX Integer32 MAX-ACCESS read-only STATUS current DESCRIPTION "Session table utilization percentage. Values should be between 0 and 100." ::= { panSession 1 } ...can I build an alert based on panSessionUtilization? -- [image: GuidePoint Security] <http://www.guidepointsecurity.com> *Tim Grossner,* Engineer II *GuidePoint Security LLC* | Your Mission.

RRD, Interfaces & docker
by Eduardo Costa 11 Apr '19

11 Apr '19

Hi all, This is my first post, and I'm a not so newbie user of Observium. If my question has been answered, or if its now correct, please advise. We're using Observium latest community edition as below: [cid:image001.png@01D4EFC3.4368A660] Situation: where monitoring a lot of virtual servers in a VMware environment, and we use docker in a lot of those vm's. What's happens is, as usual in docker, a lot of network devices are created, and observium correctly detects those ports. However in a small period of time they're gone, however Observium keep track of them, and keep the RRD files. In a specific case, we've got : [cid:image002.png@01D4EFC3.4368A660] Result... RRD for this server as... 200G! Anyone has had this problem? I was thinking about using the config['bad_if'][] with something similar of veth*, but I think is not possible. [cid:image003.png@01D4EFC3.899F0BB0] Any advice would be quite helpful!

Cat6K fabric stats
by Robert Williams 10 Apr '19

10 Apr '19

Hi, Did the Cat6k Fabric Load Statistics get removed (all supervisors and chassis sizes)? Just gone to look for something and found it no longer there, can't say 'when' it might have gone I'm afraid as it's not something commonly looked at by us. Not sure which MIB it would have been in either, but now it's not there I can't work out how to check where it used to be, of course :) Cheers!

Distributed Poller
by Ron Culler 10 Apr '19

10 Apr '19

I know in a standard install with a single server the poller_id is 0 in the DB. For a distributed poller setup do we need to specify $config[poller_id] in the config.php file on each poller? And how do we specify the poller_id when devices are added to the system? Thanks Ron Culler

Some graphs "choppy"
by Adam Ward 10 Apr '19

10 Apr '19

Hello, Some graphs are showing choppy as if there were issues writing the RRD’s. That’s not the case as other graphs are just fine. Is this some kind of device-specific issue? Maybe I should raise the timeout for SNMP?

Detected Entity Types - How to Find
by Adam Ward 04 Apr '19

04 Apr '19

Team, The most difficult part of alert checker creation is finding all the detected entity types to alert for. I noticed for Linux, there’s a special entity type for average CPU, but I cannot figure out how to see what’s available? I see this on the entity page, but how do I know what that entity is named? Special Situations¶<https://docs.observium.org/entities/#special-situations_1> On UNIX/Linux systems we generate a special "Average" processor entity by calculating the average cpu load for all processors. Use this for alerting on UNIX/Linux.
