Can't see alerts.
by Bar Russo 30 Sep '24

30 Sep '24

Greetings. For some reason recently I can NOT see any alert status, if I press on 'Alerts' it is empty and doesn't show anything. Sometimes it's showing the alert for a second and then all of the alerts disappeared. I tried to reboot the Ubuntu VM and also tried to see some logs but couldn't handle it, still having this issue. I didn't change anything within the Ubuntu machine the Observium installed on so ain't got a clue what's happened. Maybe you'll be able to assist me please.

Setting up alerts on received power

Hi, I'd like to setup alerts on RX power levels of my optical interfaces (on juniper and cisco equipment). In the web interface, this value can be obtained @URL: /device/device=yy/tab=health/metric=dbm/id=xx/ I really can't figure how to properly build an alert checker on this. Did anyone already set it up ? Thanks

Sensor limit nominal and delta OIDs need different scaling
by Corwin Ziegler Hunts 18 Sep '24

18 Sep '24

Hi, We are trying to set appropriate limits for a frequency sensor. There are OIDs for the nominal frequency and the acceptable deviation from it. The problem is the nominal OID needs 0.1 scaling while the deviation OID needs 1 scaling (the measured value needs 0.1 scaling). Is there a way to handle this? We tried using 'limit_scale' but that applies the same scaling to both the nominal and delta limits. The specific device is a CyberPower ATS PDU. The OIDs are ePDU2SourceStatusSourceAFrequency, ePDU2SourceStatusSourceBFrequency, ePDU2SourceStatusNominalFrequency and ePDU2SourceConfigFrequencyDeviation. Corwin

The graphs for few network devices not getting displayed
by Renuka Arya 09 Sep '24

09 Sep '24

Hi Team! We are running Observium pro version Observium 24.6.13582(stable). Lookslike the memory,processor and network graphs are seeing a draw error. You can still the values beside but it wont draw the graphs. It says "Draw error"/nan I looked into the permissions for the rrd folders for these devices and did change a non-working one similar to a working one as root:observium but that did not fix the issue. I also tried deleting (which was not ideal) a device and adding it back but that did not work as well. Please guide! Thanks! Regards Renuka Arya

Incorrect sensor limits caused by duplicate unit conversion
by Corwin Ziegler Hunts 03 Sep '24

03 Sep '24

The definition for the temperature sensor on a CyberPower PDU (or UPS) environmental sensor accessory defines both "unit" and "limit_unit" as "F". This seems to cause the limit values to get converted (to Celsius) twice: first in "entity_limits_definition" using "limit_unit" and then in "discover_sensor_ng" using "sensor_unit" which is set from "unit". For us, the SNMP read limits of 59 and 90 F end up as -9.44 and 0.12 C on the sensor in Observium. This is on version r13629. Simply not setting "limit_unit" is a workaround if both the sensor and limit values use the same unit (maybe that is preferred when defining sensors?). If the units are different a proper fix is needed. Also, is this the preferred method for reporting this kind of issue? Corwin

How to add a device which only responds to ping/icmp?

Hi How can i add a device which cannot (!) speak any snmp and only responds to ping/icmp requests? We have an Aruba wlan setup (Mobility Master and two Mobility Controllers) and i want to add the aps to Observium, so that they are monitored but only by ping/icmp. (The MM and the two MCs are already added to Observium, but i cannot see if one AP went offline or came back online again) The aps cannot speak any snmp when managed by the MM or MC, thats why it fails when i try to add one via ./add_device.php I appreciate any help :) Best, Thomas -- Thomas Stather IT Services VCP4, VCP6-DCV, VCP6.5-DCV Tel: +49 6221 486 628 Fax: +49 6221 486 561 Bevor Sie diese Mail ausdrucken, prüfen Sie bitte ob dies wirklich nötig ist.

Observium doesn't show interfaces within VPRN on Nokia routers
by Tao Zhang 20 Aug '24

20 Aug '24

Hi Observium team, We are using Observium as a main tool to monitor our router interfaces and collect SNMP stats. We recently replaced our Juniper routers with Nokia SR 7750. We noticed that Observium doesn't work very well with Nokia routers. Observium can only show the interfaces in the master instance, not the interfaces within VPRN or VPLS instances (Nokia call those interfaces SAPs). To be able to see interfaces within VPLS or VPRN, we need to enable two other MIBs, TIMETRA-SAP-MIB and TIMETRA-VRTR-MIB. We are not sure how to enable those two MIBs. Do we need to add them manually? This is the MIBs enabled on the Nokia router (default). [cid:ece89bfc-3ae2-4dcd-9c7c-641c3978f803] Any suggestion is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Tao

Re: How to add a device which only responds to ping/icmp?
by Croene Jan (PZ Antwerpen) 20 Aug '24

Dear, We bought the license to monitor devices via ping-check (with the probe functionality). "Observium is designed to collect and display data from SNMP-capable devices, but not every device supports SNMP. In order to monitor non-SNMP capable devices, the probes system can be used to perform checks on non-SNMP devices". I am just wondering how we can add a device in observium that cannot handle snmp? ________________________________ Als u niet de beoogde ontvanger van deze email bent, lees onze disclaimer<https://www.politie.be/nl/maildisclaimer>.

Bandwidth alerts based on value in "Device Port Parsed Speed"
by Brad Bendy 14 Aug '24

14 Aug '24

Hi, Checked around and can't figure out a way to do this and don't see anything in mailing list about it. Is there a way to build alerts based on the bandwidth value we are setting this way? For example we have a description of "[600Mbit]" and then want to alert on 80% of this value for example. I don't see a way to do this as the test conditions are all the parameters from SNMP. Obviously can make up a checker and do the math manually and what not but would not auto adjust and I need 100+ of these created. Would anyone else find this helpful? Thanks

Missing some nice stats from Cisco 9800 that I got from Cisco 5520

Hi Our organization recently upgraded from Cisco 5520 WLC to Cisco 9800 WLC. In observium I get really good statistics about wireless client count and wireless ap count on the 5520 but not on the 9800. I am not sure if this is something on observium side or cisco side. But I wanted to ask if anyone has the same issue and if they found a solution. Or maybe this is just something that needs to be added. Please let me know if there is any further information I can submit. Best regards Andri

Bug report: Broken scaling on some SFP receive power graphs
by Corwin Ziegler Hunts 09 Aug '24

09 Aug '24

Hi Observium team, We're having issues with some of the generated graphs. Some of our devices report the light level received by SFPs using mW (rather than dBm). We are on the latest stable revision (13582). Issue 1: The graphs generated by Observium for these sensors usually show an excessive scale of at least -100 mW to 100 mW when the data in the specified time interval are entirely within the range 100 nW to 1 mW and usually only a small chunk of that. The calculated minimum and maximum values shown below the graph are correct. These graphs worked properly in the past with a prior version of Observium. Issue 2: Selecting and deselecting the Force Autoscale option appears to have no effect on the generated graph or displayed rrd graph command. Manually running the generated rrd graph command after removing the "--alt-autoscale" option results in a good graph. Here is the raw SNMP output for one of the these sensors showing a current value of 0.5560mW: ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB::entPhySensorType.1000004631 = INTEGER: watts(6) ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB::entPhySensorScale.1000004631 = INTEGER: milli(8) ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB::entPhySensorPrecision.1000004631 = INTEGER: 4 ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB::entPhySensorValue.1000004631 = INTEGER: 5560 ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB::entPhySensorOperStatus.1000004631 = INTEGER: ok(1) Corwin

Switch overview: configurable interface sorting?

Hello everyone, The port sorting in the device overview has been changed at some point. Previously, it was sorted alphanumerically, but now the numbers are prioritized. Before, the order was A1, A2, A3..., B1, B2, B3, etc. And now it is A1, B1, A2, B2..., A3, B3, etc. Is there a way to change the sorting back to the old method using a configuration switch?

Missing rebuild buttons for groups and alert checkers
by Corwin Ziegler Hunts 05 Aug '24

05 Aug '24

Hi, We use Observium groups extensively, often nested several times. Our alert checkers then reference these groups. After making changes to a group, including by adding a device, we used to force rebuilds of the groups (possibly several times) and checkers so the changes would propagate all the way through. We are on the latest stable revision (r13582) and the rebuild buttons are no longer available in the UI (possibly removed in r13391). What should we do now when we need to forcibly propagate changes?

Oxidized Integration?
by Wiethoff, Helge 05 Aug '24

05 Aug '24

Hi, I am currently testing a replacement for rancid. Rancid has worked for a long time, but adding new device classes feels more and more unwieldy. Oxidized [1] makes a good first impression and I was able to add new device classes without big problems. Then of course I would also like to see an integration with my favorite network management tool :-) There are people who have already worked on this: https://github.com/colin-stubbs/observium-oxidized It looks like this patch doesn't quite work for current observium versions, so I'd like to ask if anyone is working on it and what are the chances that there could be an Observium integration (professional edition)?

Polling - Real time port graphs are different on devices that run Linux natively
by ruben.aninoiu＠zananet.com 31 Jul '24

Hi Guys, I have noticed that the real-time graphs for devices that run Linux natively (JunosOS, UnifiOS, etc) display the traffic with "intervals in between". The non-native Linux devices (FortiOS, Cisco IOS) provide a nicer real-time graph for port traffic when polled. Is there something that could be adjusted so that the native Linux devices show the nicer graph? Best regards, Ruben

Also, are there plans to address the current limitation of the nginx `unix agent app script` that constrains it to a single instance of nginx? for systems with multiple containers running isolated nginx stacks, the current 'one instance of an app per monitored device' is kinda limiting... is this something that's likely to be addressed anytime soonish? hope the world's treatin y'all well!

Unknown Ports Showing Down.
by lawrence＠e2snail.com 11 May '24

11 May '24

I am very sorry but I am new to Observium and I don't really know how to ask this question. This also means that I have tried but cannot find questions of issues similar to what I am asking. I have a Unifi network. This question happens on all my switches. Is there a way to send a screenshot of what I am seeing. Basically I have an 8 port switch as can be seen below. Each of the physical ports are showing good, apart from port 8 where nothing is connected, but everything from 3/5 up to 3/26 are all down. what are all these ports and where do they source from. Is there a way to suppress them, and have them not showing. Device Port Name Bits[In/Out] Media[In/Out] 192.168.1.50| 0/1|Port 1 2.92Mbps|142kbps| Ethernet|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c UP 192.168.1.50| 0/2|Port 2 125kbps|2.91Mbps| Ethernet|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c UP 192.168.1.50| 0/3|Port 3 8bps|5.85kbps| Ethernet|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c UP 192.168.1.50| 0/4|Port 4 2.83kbps|7.85kbps| Ethernet|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c UP 192.168.1.50| 0/5|Port 5 9.96kbps|5.78kbps| Ethernet|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c UP 192.168.1.50| 0/6|Port 6 48bps|5.89kbps| Ethernet|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c UP 192.168.1.50| 0/7|Port 7 2.22kbps|7.34kbps| Ethernet|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c UP 192.168.1.50| 0/8|Port 8 0bps|0bps| Ethernet|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c DOWN 192.168.1.50| 3/1| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c UP 192.168.1.50| 3/2| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c UP 192.168.1.50| 3/3| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c UP 192.168.1.50| 3/4| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c UP 192.168.1.50| 3/5| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c DOWN 192.168.1.50| 3/6| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c DOWN 192.168.1.50| 3/7| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c DOWN 192.168.1.50| 3/8| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c DOWN 192.168.1.50| 3/9| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c DOWN 192.168.1.50| 3/10| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c DOWN 192.168.1.50| 3/11| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c DOWN 192.168.1.50| 3/12| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c DOWN 192.168.1.50| 3/13| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c DOWN 192.168.1.50| 3/14| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c DOWN 192.168.1.50| 3/15| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c DOWN 192.168.1.50| 3/16| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c DOWN 192.168.1.50| 3/17| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c DOWN 192.168.1.50| 3/18| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c DOWN 192.168.1.50| 3/19| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c DOWN 192.168.1.50| 3/20| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c DOWN 192.168.1.50| 3/21| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c DOWN 192.168.1.50| 3/22| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c DOWN 192.168.1.50| 3/23| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c DOWN 192.168.1.50| 3/24| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c DOWN 192.168.1.50| 3/25| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c DOWN 192.168.1.50| 3/26| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c DOWN 192.168.1.50| CPU Interface: 5/1| 6.33kbps|3.7kbps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9b UP Thanks Lawrence

NEWBIE Question: Global MIB Configuration
by lawrence＠e2snail.com 11 May '24

11 May '24

I am looking through the Global MIB Configuration and I see loads and loads of MIBs that are not used within my infrastructure. Things like Cisco, and A3COM, and many more. My question is two fold. The first is, is it good practise to disable non-used MIBS Then my second question is, is there a way to mass update the disabling of MIBS. The issue is, if I select a MIB and click disable, then the page refreshes and goes to teh top of the page. This is annoying for many because there are very many MIBs that I would like to disable. Thanks in advance for a GREAT product. Keep it up. Thanks Lawrence

Help with UNIX Agent and Bind
by Timothy Stoddard 23 Apr '24

23 Apr '24

All, I would like some help with the UNIX Agent. I have been able to get the agent up and running on the device and listen on port 36602 which in turn the Observium server can communicate with. I have UNIX Agent turned on in Obervium config and the server does show me a button to turn on "BIND" with a slider button. When I slide the BIND button to ON and press save Observium says "No Application found on this device." I have provided screenshots. What am I missing because I am close to getting this working. I am running Observium 24.3.13396 (stable) Thanks, -- Tim
