CDR Overage Alerts
by Andrew Lemin 04 Feb '19

04 Feb '19

Hi List, I know there has been a long-time request to enable the ability to generate an Alert when traffic (peak or 95%) goes over the CDR (as configured within [CDR] on the interface), and we would like to know if this has been realised yet? We just need a way of dynamically detecting and reporting when traffic goes over the configured CDR, using the port description’s [CDR] value. We cannot create Observium billing reports for every single customer facing port as we have thousands, and we are trying to keep manual processes to a minimum as this could easily be a generic alert of the form; ifInUcastPkts_rate > CDR OR ifOutUcastPkts_rate > CDR I believe historically there was some outstanding work to convert the discovered [CDR] field data into a normalised bps value in the database (as CDR can be given in units of Bits/Megabits/Gigabits etc). Thanks, Andy.

Hello I'm happy to using Observium and its Custom OID. Eveything is working fine. My question is the presentation of the values to the web. Is it possible to manipulate just for the presentation the collecte values? For example wie collect the SNR (Signal to noise) from the CMTS, this value has 3 digits like 325 in the RRD. Now for the human I would like to change it to 32.5 in the grafic. Is it possible? If not, would it be a nice features? Regards Walter

Port label parsing - Mikrotik possible bug?
by Lyndon Labuschagne 31 Jan '19

31 Jan '19

Hi I have picked up that the port cable parsing does not seem to work on Mikrotik routers, a port description of Core: sfp-sfpplus1- Trunk to 6509 becomes CoreCore: sfp-sfpplus1- Trunk to 6509 An SNMP walk gives be the below iso.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2.1 = STRING: "Core: sfp-sfpplus1- Trunk to 6509" iso.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.1.1 = STRING: "Core: sfp-sfpplus1- Trunk to 6509" iso.3.6.1.2.1.55.1.5.1.2.1 = STRING: "Core: sfp-sfpplus1- Trunk to 6509” If I run a poller on the device, the “Descr” under the sensors display shows the correct "Core: sfp-sfpplus1- Trunk to 6509” but later on under the ifIndex listing the Label there is CoreCore: sfp-sfpplus1- Trunk to 6509 Regards

When trying to upgrade observium I'm prompted for a root pw
by Michael Medwid 29 Jan '19

29 Jan '19

[juser@observium logs]$ sudo svn update [sudo] password for juser: Updating '.': Authentication realm: <http://svn.observium.org:80> Observium Professional Repository Password for 'root': Looking through our password vault I don't see a "root" user for observium upgrades. I do see another user ID labeled "Observium SVC" and the original system owner noted "used for upgrades". But as the only instruction for the upgrade is "svn update", it's not clear to me where this other username would come into play. Looking through the observium update doc I don't see any reference to being prompted for a root password nor an alternate svn user. Insight appreciated. Thanks, Michael

Hi When I clear geolocation for a device openstreetmap shows not found and it places it to the default in the middle of the Atlantic. Now for some reason all our stuff is being placed there. This also means that most devices are in Unknown in the Devices-> Location menu. But if I take the API request and clean it up, remove *** and amp; stuff it gives the correct answer, see the second screenshot. The url requested for this is: https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?format=json&accept-language=en&a… Running the latest pro version from trunk but had the issue before, just upgraded to see if it would go away. /T

svn update issue
by John Dicks 25 Jan '19

25 Jan '19

Hi all. I have an issue running svn update. My system details below. What happens is I get 'GET request returned unexpected delta base' or less commonly a checksum mismatch'. I then revert to my saved snapshot of the VM and start again. Each time it fails at a different part. We are 588 rev's behind so I attempted to svn update -r 9217 which I believe is only one version ahead of where we are. Hoping that with fewer committed changes it would make it through. Same error though. Does anyone have any thing for me to try. I have not seen anyone else online with this issue? Thanks a LOT!

Observium Enterprise
by Joelly, Alexander 24 Jan '19

24 Jan '19

Hello, Our company is split into two major regions (EU & NA) where we have a central datacenter in each region, all sites in the particular region is connected to it's regional datacenter and the two datacenters are red. connected together. As I understand with the enterprise version multiple pollers can be deployed within the topology to scale vertically where in our scenario we would place them in our datacenters as everything is reachable from there (DC and WAN equippement on remote sites). How would we monitor both regions? Our concern is that the latency between the datacenters (~120ms) could cause some issues and might slow in response if the gui,rrd and mysql servers are hosted in one region. Can the rrd and mysql servers deployed redundant - one node in EU and the second in NA and also each region a local gui instance? Or is it possible to run a separate instance in each region and have a common gui with visibility of all devices? We possibly might also monitor the LAN equipment of the sites in the future - that might add a couple of thousands devices per region (no real numbers known yet) We have a network team and service desk in each region, where we have about 1.500 datacenter and WAN devices in each region to monitor in the first step - we are calculating to have around 30 people from each region using the gui daily. Does someone have such a setup? We setup the CE for testing and we would go ahead using it globally, but not sure how the setup should/would like for that and we haven't found anything in that direction... Thanks, Alex

Hi team, I am running Observium Professional 18.10.9472. An alert check has been created for monitoring high CPU.

In Device Property -> Alert Settings, I have the option to choose "Disable alerts -Don't send alert emails (but write to eventlog)". When enabled and threshold is reached, there is no alert message in the event log either. How can event logging for alarms be enabled ? Thanks for advice.

Disabling redundancy/stack metrics for standalone Cisco switch
by Peter Watts 18 Jan '19

18 Jan '19

Hello, I have commissioned a few new Cisco 3650 switches (WS-C3650-24TD-L) which are stacking-capable, but I have them running standalone. They're on IOS XE 16.6.5 and Observium is detecting/reporting the redundancy attributes for these switches but because they're not stacked, I'm getting an alert for 'nonRedundant'. cRFCfgRedundancyOperMode = 1 Is there a way I can force Observium to ignore the redundancy metrics for these switches? I tried disabling CISCO-RF-MIB on the device but it still persists and when I run './poller.php -h my3650switch -m status' I see the redundancy attributes coming through (assumed I shouldn't? not sure).

Cisco VRF
by Andre Geißler 12 Jan '19

12 Jan '19

Hi all, any Idea how that could be? We're using two Cisco 3850 (WS-C3850-24S-E) and VRF lite. On each discovery VRF information are deleted from observium. When doing an manual discovery of module cisco-vrf I can see the VRFs again. I can see the difference between a) /opt/observium/discovery.php -h hostname b) /opt/observium/discovery.php -h switch-vwd-sp1 -m cisco-vrf In the first case no VRFs are shown under module cisco-vrf in the second case they are. Thanks in advance. Have a nice day Andre

Rename/Relabel new dashboard graphs?
by Darrell Budic 11 Jan '19

11 Jan '19

Is it possible to rename dashboard graphs? My install kept some good names for some graphs when converting, those are fine. When I add new ones, especially combined transit/peering graphs, I wind up with names like "7 Port :: bits_seperate”. Especially with two of those, it’s not as pretty as it used to be with named mini-graphs. Thanks! -Darrell

logging failed discoverd devices
by Reisner Martin 10 Jan '19

10 Jan '19

Hi! If i run "./discovery.php -h all" at the shell observium will find new devices. Observium try to access the device with snmpV3, snmpV2 and snmpV1. If Observium can access the device it will be added to Observium and show up in the GUI. If Observium failed to access the Device it would not show up in the GUI and i don't even know, that there was a device found. Is there a way to log dicovered but failed Devices? Maybe with the failed message, Hostname and IP-Address? Or a notification in the gui like "found 3 new devices but could not access the devices. [click more for details]" would be nice. :) Thank you in advanced! Kind regards Martin

old 3rd-party script, need help
by Adam Thompson 09 Jan '19

09 Jan '19

I’m attempting to use a ~4yr-old script that uses data Observium stores in the MySQL database, but the Observium schema has changed since then. First, the script attempts to use the “links” table, which is now called “neighbors” – this is an easy fix. Secondly, it uses the “ports-state” table, which was removed last may in updates/341.sql, with the matching SVN comments of “Remove bgpPeers-state and bgpPeers_cbgp-state” which doesn’t mean much to me. Is the functionality of the “ports-state” table gone, and I should remove the corresponding functionality from this other script, or has it been refactored into something else, in which case I’ll need to refactor my script just as much? (FYI: I’m trying to use https://github.com/kedare/observium_map_generator) Thanks, -Adam Adam Thompson Consultant, Infrastructure Services [Description: sig] 100 - 135 Innovation Drive Winnipeg, MB, R3T 6A8 (204) 977-6824 or 1-800-430-6404 (MB only) athompson(a)merlin.mb.ca<mailto:athompson@merlin.mb.ca> www.merlin.mb.ca<http://www.merlin.mb.ca/>

Syslog notifications
by Simon Mousey Smith 09 Jan '19

09 Jan '19

Hi All Im not sure if this is me being thick or simply how its designed I have devices sending observium syslogs and all is good… I have setup an some syslog rules and they work fine as I can see the alerts in the syslog alerts I have then assigned the syslog rules to the contacts, but strangely enough im only getting the syslog alerts every 5 minutes when the poller is run Is this designed this way or have I mis configured something somewhere ? Its also annoying because I can get 4 notifications at a 5 min interval, 1 to say port down, 1 port up, 1 port down, 1 port up, etc… I would like them to be instant notifications when observium receives the syslog Regards Simon - Hestor

multiple authentication mechanisms at the same time for observium?
by Steve Costaras 09 Jan '19

09 Jan '19

I'm running the current stable release. A question came up today about authentication, basically is it possible to have accounts authenticated via mysql AND have other accounts authenticated via radius? i.e. I want to have some local/mysql accounts on the system but have the general major population authenticated via radius. Was thinking something of a lookup process to check to see if a user is local first and if they don't exist then continue down to the next authentication mechanism. Steve

$config['frontpage']['order'] no longer taken into account ?
by Thibault Richard 08 Jan '19

08 Jan '19

Hello, Since my recent update to the latest stable version (19.1.9661) I've noticed the variable $config['frontpage']['order'] defined into /opt/observium/includes/defaults.inc.php is no longer taken into account. Actually it displays what I had defined before but my new changes there are not taken into account. Did I miss something ? Best Regards Thibault

Blank Dashboards
by Andrew Lemin 07 Jan '19

07 Jan '19

Hi. Has anyone else experienced the same issue where after the Observium upgrade (9657) the new dashboard is showing empty transit and peering traffic graphs? Before the upgrade they were showing the traffic data fine, but on the new dashboard based front page, the graphs are empty? I’ve cleared browser cache etc and waited for a while. I have also tried adding a new graph, which involves browsing to the aggregate transit graph and click add to widget etc. But that only creates a mini graph (which does show). The nice front page graphs for Transit, Peering, and Transit and Peering are just white :( [image1.jpeg] The Gap the graph below was from the upgrade maintenance as I also upgraded the distribution with apt upgrade etc. Everything else seems ok Thanks, Andy. Sent from a teeny tiny keyboard, so please excuse typos

Default Micrograph size?
by Shawn L 07 Jan '19

07 Jan '19

Pre-upgrade (to 19.1.9661) we were able to set a default micrograph size in config.php ie: $config['frontpage']['micrograph_settings']['width'] = 250; $config['frontpage']['micrograph_settings']['height'] = 100; Post upgrade, that value doesn't seem to be used anymore. Is there a way to set the default size of the micro graphs in the config? I know I can use the GUI to edit each individual graph, but I'd like to be able to just do it once and have them all the same size. Unless I'm missing something....

Hello, I've just updated to the latest stable version. Thanks ! I've just noticed a weird thing. As you can see on this screenshot, the bar displaying the version number is hiding the bottom of the front page (at the right of the screenshot, aside 70,4 Mbps, you can see the top of a graphic hidden by the version bar) I've tested with different browser Not a big deal but at you least you are now aware Best Regards Thibault
