Starline Busway Monitoring
by David Ross 02 Jan '19

02 Jan '19

Hello! I sent this question yesterday but got no response. Please reply as soon as possible. I've added monitoring to our Starline Busway CPMs (Critical Power Meters) and have added latest MIB to the Observium SNMP MIBs directory. However, I get very little to no monitoring data. Is the Starline MIB not supported by Observium? Please advise; thanks! Regards, *David W. Ross, Sr.* Sr. Lab Ops Engineer 50 Fremont St, 42nd Floor San Francisco, California 94105 415.589.4930 - O 415.926.3483 - C david.ross(a)salesforce.com <http://smart.salesforce.com/sig/david.ross//us_mb/default/link.html>

help on Active directory authentication (nothing happens)
by Vincent Kwiatkowski 02 Jan '19

02 Jan '19

Hi All, I tried to make observium AD log in working during a few hours without any success, so I ask here for help^^ I took the ad example conf and edited some values. I used same kind of conf in antoher apache vhost, and it works fine. I also tried to find a good debug mode to help me with that, but nothing Is in the logs. I tried "url/debug", "url/debug=yes", I can only see "CACHE DISABLED. Disabled in config", but I don't see any message about failed authentication (after I entered my credentials, nothing happens, I come back to log in page) I also tried what is in this page ( https://docs.observium.org/config_options/#debugging-profiling-settings), but nothing happens in any log file. how can I enabled debug mode to help me with this authentication issue? In my win2k8 AD, the directory tree is as follow: Administrative (at the root) --> "Domain users" (where all the "human" users are) --> "Groups" (where all the groups are) --> "ServiceAccounts" (where the binddn user is) Here is the conf I have : $config['auth_mechanism'] = "ldap"; $config['auth_ldap_binddn'] = "cn=DNrequest,ou=ServiceAccounts,ou=Administrative,dc=example,dc=com"; $config['auth_ldap_bindpw'] = "password"; $config['auth_ldap_attr']['uid'] = "sAMAccountName"; $config['auth_ldap_attr']['uidNumber'] = "objectSid"; $config['auth_ldap_attr']['cn'] = "name"; $config['auth_ldap_attr']['dn'] = "distinguishedname"; $config['auth_ldap_objectclass'] = "person"; $config['auth_ldap_version'] = 3; $config['auth_ldap_server'] = "example.com"; $config['auth_ldap_port'] = 389; $config['auth_ldap_starttls'] = FALSE; $config['auth_ldap_prefix'] = "CN="; $config['auth_ldap_suffix'] = ",OU=Domain users,OU=Administrative,DC=example,DC=com"; $config['auth_ldap_group'] = array("CN=NE.Access,OU=Groups,OU=Administrative,DC=example,DC=com"); $config['auth_ldap_groupbase'] = "OU=Groups,OU=Administrative,DC=example,DC=com"; $config['auth_ldap_groupmembertype'] = "fulldn"; $config['auth_ldap_groupmemberattr'] = "member"; unset($config['auth_ldap_groups']); $config['auth_ldap_groups']['CN=NE.Access,OU=Groups,OU=Administrative,DC=example,DC=com']['level'] = 10; Thanks a lot in advance for you help!

Increase polling interval to 10 minutes?
by Gordon Cheng (gocheng) 18 Dec '18

18 Dec '18

I have a few Cisco Nexus switches with over 1k ports/interfaces. Since it takes quite some time for them to finish polling, is there any way we can increase the polling interval from default 5 minutes to say 10 minutes? Can we just increase the interval for these few devices, or we have to increase it for all? Any pointer or documents showing how it can be done? I'm a bit new to Observium. Thanks. - Gordon

Possible pseudowire bug - Backup PSW's classed as DOWN/ALERT, results in broken PW alerting
by Andrew Lemin 14 Dec '18

14 Dec '18

Hi List, Just a quick one to check that I do not need to configure something extra for this to work? We have lots of Pseudowire's configured using IOS-XR, IOS-XE and IOS, and these all show in Observium with the pwID, and the Local and Remote details (so Observium is correctly matching the stanzas across the two endpoints as being the same service) which is awesome :) However when configuring 'Backup' Pseudowire, the standby/backup Pseudowire is shown as 'Down' and 'Alert' in Observium? This is really confusing for support staff who do not understand if down/alert means something is wrong or not, and as such we are currently unable to monitor any pseudowire and have all alerts disabled for them :( The attached image shows an example, of how all the PWs to the secondary device are reported as down and in an alert state! They are all down but in the normal state as standby/backup pseudowires. Below shows the output for the PW states, and it can be seen that a status of 'sec' and 'SB' is provided for Standby/Backup (the Pseudowire is explicitly configured with a 'Backup' path etc) pseudowires. BYF-CGW-2#show xconnect all Legend: XC ST=Xconnect State S1=Segment1 State S2=Segment2 State UP=Up DN=Down AD=Admin Down IA=Inactive SB=Standby HS=Hot Standby RV=Recovering NH=No Hardware XC ST Segment 1 S1 Segment 2 S2 ------+---------------------------------+--+---------------------------------+-- UP pri ac Po20.339:339(Eth VLAN) UP mpls <remote-rt-1-ip>:339 UP IA sec ac Po20.339:339(Eth VLAN) UP mpls <remote-rt-2-ip>:339 SB UP pri ac Po20.341:341(Eth VLAN) UP mpls <remote-rt-1-ip>:341 UP IA sec ac Po20.341:341(Eth VLAN) UP mpls <remote-rt-2-ip>:341 SB UP pri ac Po20.348:348(Eth VLAN) UP mpls <remote-rt-1-ip>:348 UP IA sec ac Po20.348:348(Eth VLAN) UP mpls <remote-rt-2-ip>:348 SB So the question I guess is, do the OIDs show the third status of 'SB' (or the 'XC' and 'ST' states of, 'IA' & 'sec' = Standby/Backup etc) so we can have something like; 'UP' = Green (Up), 'SB' = Amber (Up), 'DN' = Red (Down/Alert)? Without this pseudowire alerting and state monitoring is broken :( As always, Thanks for all your time and effort with Observium Kind regards, Andy.

Host Description in Notifications
by Brian Downey 12 Dec '18

12 Dec '18

Hi All, Has anyone else experienced trouble getting the Description field (Host Properties -> Device Settings) to appear in notifications? Looking at the notification templates there is an "ENTITY_DESCRIPTION" field, but it doesn't seem to get used in our installation; i.e. the alerts simply show "Entity" and then "Condition" skipping it entirely. The descriptions are filled in and show in the Observium interface. As a shot in the dark I tried to customize the template per the README in the template directory & experimented with "DEVICE_DESCRIPTION", but also no bueno. -Brian

Observiums biggest weakness is its inability to auto-discover windows. LLDT needs to be integrated into the design. Or being able to piggy back off of Symantec or bigfix for data.

A general questions on apps vs sniped extend ?
by Jonas Karlsson 22 Nov '18

22 Nov '18

Hi, I am new to observium and I am trying to learn the "system". Last week I developed a "app" that shows some status. The client side was super simple but it was somewhat cumbersome on the serverside (find all files to update and definitions etc). This week I tried to use snmpd extend to display the same information. This was super simple both on the client and on the server side (adda custom oid) and it works with alerts! My question is therefore in what circumstances are the "apps" useful? At least for my simple example I did not find any benefits of apps over using snmpd extend and a custom OID. Specially as configuring an app is more cumbersome (on the server side). -- Jonas Karlsson Senior Research Engineer Karlstad University SE-651 88 Karlstad, Sweden 📞 +46 54 700 15 64 📞 +46 70 672 06 20 💬 karlsson.karl.jonas 🗝 0x88765911B284F3A6

For some reason, I've started receiving "DB Error 2002: No such file or directory" on my Observium installation. Weird thing was that it was literally right in the middle of using the web interface when the error started popping. I've restarted the VM and checked disk space and all looks good. root@tcgobs /opt/observium# ./discovery.php -h none MIB search path: /opt/observium/mibs Cannot find module (LM-SENSORS-MIB): At line 0 in (none) DB Error 2002: No such file or directory Ran the above command line discovery and got this. Not sure what's going on. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Tim

by Thibault Richard 16 Nov '18

Hello, I've defined a working group of ports which indeed contains what I want : Unfortunately I cannot use this group in an alert definition because I 'm able to define a DEVICE group but not a PORT group The only solution to achieve my goal is to define alerts with the same criterium as the ones used for my group definition Did I miss something ? Best Regards Thibault

No "mouse-over" on dashboard elements
by Silvio del Val Hinojal 14 Nov '18

14 Nov '18

Hello, "Mouse-over" function over machine names in dashboard doesn't work, I supposse this is correct by now? It works when I click on a machine name, status, alert or whatever and I pass mouse over any element in the screen, showing a floating window with corresponding statistics. This is to confirm this behaviour is right and I don't have anything misconfigured.
