Forcing location based on IP
by Pieter De Wit 27 May '19

27 May '19

Hi Guys, I would like to insert location data based on the IP address, but I want to write a script that will auto update this into the DB. We are adding 100s of devices over the next few months, some on them doesn't support SNMP Location (yeah, I know....) We have decided to just override the location in Observium for all systems, even if they support it or not. By the looks of it, the data goes into devices_locations ? Thanks ! Pieter De Wit

Geolocation - API Endpoints missing in MySQL config table
by Chris Macneill 26 May '19

26 May '19

Oh no, not me again!! In my recent post I alluded to an issue I was having with Geolocation. After installing Observium CE v2018.9, I couldn't get Geolocation to work with the default setup, so I changed to Google as I already had an API Key setup for other purposes. However, Geolocation still failed to do anything. After looking in Jira, there seem to be a number of posts on this subject, all closed off with no resolution. For anyone out there that still has an issue with Google Geolocation, then I've found what the problem is. This may also solve the issue for other Geolocation APIs too. By the way, before I get started on the solution, I've opened a new bug in Jira (OBS-3022), so hopefully this will get fixed. So, digging into the PHP code, I finally worked out that the API Endpoint URLs are stored in MySQL "config" table. Except, they weren't, "direct_url" and "reverse_url" were missing from the "config" table. I would think that if you select Google as the API provider in the GUI, that the "config" table should be populated with the correct URLs. Nothing in any documentation states that config.php needs anything added manually to cause MySQL to be populated. There may actually be an easier way to achieve this by entering values in config.php, however I've only been digging around in the PHP code for less than 2 days and I haven't fully got my head around how Observium does things yet. So my solution involves getting your hands dirty with MySQL / SQL. To fix the problem manually for Google and potentially other API providers, do the following:- 1. SSH to your Observium host or login to the CLI if you're local. 2. I'm a bit naughty I tend to do everything in a "root" shell, so if you login as non-root you'll probably need to su or sudo to user observium or the owner of the MySQL database first. 3. Connect to MySQL using - mysql observium (don't include the " - ", that just to separate the description from the command) 4. Check the current contents of "config" table - select * from config; (for those of you unfamiliar with SQL the ";" is absolutely required) 5. For the Google Geolocation APIs to work there should be two entries as below:- | geocoding|direct_url | s:49:"https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json"; | | geocoding|reverse_url | s:49:"https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json"; | 6. If these are missing or different, then Google API will fail. At this point you either need to insert/update the Google API Endpoint URLs in the table or URLs that are appropriate to the API you want to use. 7. If missing, to enter for Google, do the following in MySQL. You can copy and paste, both lines are required:- insert into config (config_key,config_value) values ('geocoding|direct_url','s:49:"https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json";'); insert into config (config_key,config_value) values ('geocoding|reverse_url','s:49:"https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json";'); 8. If entries are there, but wrong urls, do:- update config set config_value = 's:49:"https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json"' where config_key = 'geocoding|direct_url' or config_key = 'geocoding|reverse_url'; 9. To enter different URLs you will likely have to change the s:49 value at the beginning. The value 49 is the count of characters in the URL between the double quotes, do not include the double quotes in the count. 10. If the URLs for the Geolocation API you want to use are different for direct and reverse lookups, then you will need a slightly different update statement in step 8. 11. I'm not going to tell you how to delete the entries, as this is a bit dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. So you either know anyway or go read up about MySQL and practice on a dummy table first. In any case there should be no reason to delete anything, unless the table is really in a mess. 12. To close MySQL CLI, enter quit or exit or press CTRL-C. 13. Lastly, don't panic if things don't seem to work immediately, for some reason it seemed to take a while for poller.php to start using the new config and this wasn't just the 5 minute delay of the crontab timings. 14. I actually purged all records from the "devices_locations" table to force all locations to be regenerated, but this is not a good idea if you've added manual lat/long coordinates. If your SNMP sysLocation cannot be converted by the Geolocation API and you've purged the locations table, all your "flags" will end up at the default lat/long, assuming you've configured one.

System Uptime (sysUpTime) OID incorrect for some systems
by Chris Macneill 26 May '19

26 May '19

I'm observing a problem with some systems being reported as having rebooted at odd times, which are completely unrelated to reality. The GUI claims the system uptime is derived from the OID sysUpTime, however I can't find this OID in any MIB, maybe an internal label in Observium? In actuality Observium seems to be using the 1st OID below, but as can be seen from the 2nd OID the two seem totally unrelated. In the case of this particular system, the 2nd OID value is when it was rebooted, the 1st one seems to have no correlation to the reboot time. DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (376806) 1:02:48.06 HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSystemUptime.0 = Timeticks: (13560578) 1 day, 13:40:05.78 Is there anyway to change the OID on a per device basis that is used to display and monitor System Uptime?

Alert Email Wont Change
by Connary, Scott 16 May '19

16 May '19

Good day, When we started using email alerts we had a very simple config. We had the lines for setting default in config.php commented out. And the setting in the webUI for use default on alerts set. So all alerts would go to: alerts(a)mycompany.com. Recently I have been working on updating our environment so that different devices have different contact emails so we can start bugging the device owners more specifically. I have the setting for use default turned off on the webUI. After multiple attempts I am still not able to get emails to follow the syscontact. I even added a new email address to the default email setting in the webUI and it STILL refuses to send to that new email. Is there a place someone else (I did not set the server up) could of hard coded that email? Thank you, Scott Connary

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.

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

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?

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.

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

Is there a document somewhere that will show me how to make "bulk" changes. An example would be how do I change a sensors Warn level for all my UPSs? I don't want to go though 200 of them, I want to change the default warning, etc. Caterpillar: Confidential Green

Bulk group creation via API/DB query/something else?
by Brandwatch NOC 26 Apr '19

26 Apr '19

Hi, I need to bulk create a large number of sensor groups. I would really rather not do that by hand in the GUI. Any automatable method would be fine - API/script/DB query/something else. I had a quick look around but couldn't find anything in the documentation - I would appreciate a quick nudge in the right direction.

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

Apache log path incorrect
by Joelly, Alexander 18 Apr '19

Hello, Just wanted to mention that the apache config file generated/installed from install script has an incorrect access and error log destination set. Should be: ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined instead: ErrorLog /error.log CustomLog /access.log combined Thanks, Alex
