snmpget on multiple OID fails on Eaton UPS
by Mailing Lists 14 Sep '18

14 Sep '18

We have around 22 Eaton UPS devices currently monitored on Observium and I have been investigating today why about 25% of them refuse to return a syslocation. It seems that the devices just don't reliably return snmpget when multiple OID are queried at once, at least for these objects. Specifically, when taking the following command from the poller debug and running it manually: /usr/bin/snmpget -t '4' -r '2' -v3 -l 'authPriv' -n '' -x 'DES' -X 'removed' -a 'MD5' -A 'removed' -u 'observium' -Pu -OQUs -m SNMPv2-MIB -M /opt/observium/mibs/rfc:/opt/observium/mibs/net-snmp 'udp':'device':'161' sysUpTime.0 sysLocation.0 sysContact.0 sysName.0 The request times out even when increasing the timeout. When reducing the number of OID queried to 3 or less the device seems to respond: /usr/bin/snmpget -t '4' -r '2' -v3 -l 'authPriv' -n '' -x 'DES' -X 'removed' -a 'MD5' -A 'removed' -u 'observium' -Pu -OQUs -m SNMPv2-MIB -M /opt/observium/mibs/rfc:/opt/observium/mibs/net-snmp 'udp':'device':'161' sysUpTime.0 sysLocation.0 sysContact.0 sysUpTime.0 = 0:0:31:01.19 sysLocation.0 = location sysContact.0 = user(a)example.com /usr/bin/snmpget -t '4' -r '2' -v3 -l 'authPriv' -n '' -x 'DES' -X 'removed' -a 'MD5' -A 'removed' -u 'observium' -Pu -OQUs -m SNMPv2-MIB -M /opt/observium/mibs/rfc:/opt/observium/mibs/net-snmp 'udp':'device':'161' sysLocation.0 sysContact.0 sysName.0 sysLocation.0 = location sysContact.0 = user(a)example.com sysName.0 = device Is there a way to configure the behaviour to reduce the number of simultaneous OID requested to make this work reliably? Thanks, Tim C

731 Revisions behind
by Thomas Steffensen 11 Sep '18

11 Sep '18

Hi, I am currently running: Version Information Observium CE 0.16.10.8128 (6th October 2016) OS Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 [amd64] (Debian 7.11) Apache 2.2.22 (Debian) PHP 5.4.45-0+deb7u11 Python 2.7.3 MySQL 5.5.58-0+deb7u1 (extension: mysqli 5.5.58) SNMP NET-SNMP 5.4.3 RRDtool 1.4.7 And I would really like to upgrade to version 17.9.8859 which is 731 revisions ahead. However, being 2 years behind on updates I admit that I am having a little bit of an issue with the consequences of this. Is there any best practices I should follow or are there revisions that I should upgrade to first before going to the latest?

Hrm, on all my tested TP-Link switches this feature improved polling speed. That why separate_walk feature for this os enabled. But such problems are certainly unacceptable, I will disable that for os.

Observium site blank after logging in
by Stallings, Breisch 10 Sep '18

10 Sep '18

I've acquired an Observium implementation, which worked perfectly fine a few months ago. Nothing that I know of has changed over the past few months. Now we can get to the login screen as usual. As soon as you enter your credentials and login, the very next screen is completely blank and nothing appears. We've rebooted the box several times. Today I upgraded to the latest release - 9431. I'm not very proficient working through Linux troubleshooting, which is was the base OS is. Has anyone else seen this issue and possibly how to troubleshoot/resolve it?

Devices not being discovered
by Roland Hill 08 Sep '18

08 Sep '18

Hi all, I've been running the CE version of Observium for a few years now, always upgrading as the new releases come out. Earlier this year my server hosting Observium updated to Ubuntu 18.04 and php7x. As previously raised on list, this was incompatible with the previous CE version. No problem, I waited it out. Now my issue. Since upgrading to the latest CE version, 5 out of my 7 devices (home network) are no longer being discovered. I can confirm DNS is working. I've debugged as much as I can, including reinstalling snmpd on the Ubuntu boxes. The devices which are staying down are my Ubuntu boxes and Unifi AP and Secure gateway. Any direction on debugging would be greatly appreciated. -- Regards, Roland

TP-Link switches freeze with new Observium CE
by Attila Nagy 07 Sep '18

07 Sep '18

Hi List! Firstly our appreciations go to the team for the new CE version. Thanks a lot! Now the somewhat bitter part: we updated yesterday evening to the latest CE version and today morning we were confronted with the problem that a few Tp-Link switches have frozen. To be more precise, only the management part was frozen, so the switch was degraded to a dumb non-manageable switch. After reboot the switches return to full function only to freeze again on next SNMP poll. The switches in question are all T1600G-28TS or T1600G-28PS (poor-man's manageable gigabit switches :-)) There is no newer firmware update available for them. They worked perfectly with the previous CE version up until the update. We have other Tp-Link switches which are not affected by the same problem: TL-SG2424, TL-SG2216, TL-SG2008. We tried to narrow down the problem, and it seems that discovery works as it should, the freeze enacts during the polling, more exactly when the ports module runs. Looking at the debug log the following command produces the freeze: /usr/bin/snmpget -v2c -c 'public' -Pu -OQUs -m IF-MIB -M /opt/observium/mibs/rfc:/opt/observium/mibs/net-snmp 'udp':'switch-test':'161' ifInMulticastPkts.1 ifOutMulticastPkts.1 ifInBroadcastPkts.1 ifOutBroadcastPkts.1 ifHCInOctets.1 ifHCOutOctets.1 ifHCInUcastPkts.1 ifHCOutUcastPkts.1 ifHCInMulticastPkts.1 ifHCOutMulticastPkts.1 ifHCInBroadcastPkts.1 ifHCOutBroadcastPkts.1 ifInOctets.1 ifOutOctets.1 ifInUcastPkts.1 ifOutUcastPkts.1 ifInNUcastPkts.1 ifOutNUcastPkts.1 ifInDiscards.1 ifOutDiscards.1 ifInErrors.1 ifOutErrors.1 ifInUnknownProtos.1 ifMtu.1 ifSpeed.1 ifPhysAddress.1 ifAdminStatus.1 ifLastChange.1 ifPromiscuousMode.1 ifConnectorPresent.1 From here onward there is no SNMP response from the switch, the SYS LED stops blinking and is frozen in whichever state it was, and there is no network connectivity to the switch (does not respond to ping and the management interface is inaccessible). The dumb switch hardware was still working for some time, but this was inconsistent, some switches have frozen to a complete halt some time after, while others were still working as dumb switches. As these are under constant load we didn't had the time to more thoroughly investigate on them, we restored their functionality and disabled them in Observium. We have one extra hardware that we can put online for testing if needed. My questions would be: - Should I include a full debug log or the above info is enough? - Has anyone met the same problem/has a solution to it? - Can we know what was changed on the above command line, so maybe as a workaround we can disable that single feature? - I suspect this is a firmware issue, but I am not sure (that's why I'm asking here first, here I have way bigger chances to receive meaningful answers compared to Tp-Link's support), maybe somebody can help me narrow down the firmware bug if it is really one. Thank you guys in advance. Best regards, Tylla

How do you configure Internet traffic Today
by Thomas Steffensen 04 Sep '18

Hi, I am not sure if this is the right forum but I need some help with basic settings in Observium. I admit I have very little experience with Observium but a great deal with Solarwinds and The Dude (Mikrotik). On my main dashboard window I have a tab saying Internet Traffic Today. This monitors ports to the internet. However, we have replaced some border router and therefor I need to change which ports are being monitored and I can't seem to figure out where I change this? Can I do this in GUI?

Also a show vlan <id>(showvlan.txt) to prove that they really are untagged ;) 1.

Polling times grew a lot upgrading to 18.8.9403 from 18.7.9337
by Silvio del Val Hinojal 29 Aug '18

29 Aug '18

Hello, This morning I upgraded our Observium Pro machines from prior version 18.7.9337 to last 18.8.9403 and, since then, polling times growed by almost 3 or 4 times: [cid:image003.jpg@01D43ED6.AFE37570] I upgraded using "svn update" in our polling machines and "discovery.php -u" to upgrade DB schema. I even tried to activate "$config['snmp']['max-rep'] = TRUE;" with no luck. What should I change to fix this times?

Get more information on Dashboard for Process consumption
by Kaustubh Parthasarthy, CLSA 29 Aug '18

29 Aug '18

I have been using observium for few months now. I wanted some info from the graphs that observium spins off. Following is the graphs for running process consumption: [cid:image001.png@01D43EAC.03C3D610] Can I get something like top 10 process graphs? Let me give you an example, I sometimes get requests from folks asking, "Ok my memory utilization on a server ABC was 90% on this particular day. Can we get list of processes consuming high memory on that particular day ? " So as per this, can I customize the graph to get process level info ?

Dashboards
by Cederlund Tobias 27 Aug '18

27 Aug '18

Hi (...threw the to the list yesterday, but it didn't came through...) A few months ago I noticed the appearance of a "Default Dashboard" under Overview in the menu. There's also a nice "Add to Dashboard" button on graph-pages to add the graph to a dashboard. This seems like a fantastic feature but right now there only the "Default Dashboard". Is it possible add more dashboards? ...and if so, how? I also haven't seen any documentation of this very nice feature. Is there any? We're on 18.8.9355 Best regards, Tobias

Static routes
by Klimek, Denis 23 Aug '18

23 Aug '18

Hi, what is your opinion about extracting also the static configured routes from the device? Possible SNMP OID would be .1.3.6.1.2.1.4.24.7 We have the case that multiple prefixes are staticly configured and that we are able to fetch them in the Observium database for 3rd party purposes that we built around. I know that pulling the routes from a device with a BGP full route takes a lot of time, but maybe it can be implemented into the discovery module instead of the poller. A way to ignore BGP or to exclude everything except static is not known so far.... From my side.

Custom OID Metric Conditions (now with 100% more attachment)
by Brandwatch NOC 22 Aug '18

Hi, The attached image shows some custom OIDs I have set up to monitor Juniper QFX VCP link status. These work fine and I see the custom graphs (gauges where state 1 = link up, state 0 = link down). The last bit I need to figure out is how to alert on them. I think I'm 90% of the way there. You can see the custom OIDs in the top browser window. In the bottom browser window, I'm unsure how to refer to the custom OIDs in the "conditions" bit. Any help gratefully accepted - I've got this far without bothering anyone but I've fallen at the last hurdle. Thanks!

Show ink levels for Ricoh printers
by Simon Mousey Smith 21 Aug '18

21 Aug '18

Hi All This is a message to ask people can they try these SNMP OIDs in the link below on there Ricoh printers? We have a few Ricoh printers that just show SOME SPACE in observium and would love to see values! I discovered this link by accident and they appear to be working on our few printers! Currently using the printer-mib only reveilles -3, -2, -1 which isnt helpful... But the link below uses ricohs private mib which appears to work! https://github.com/librenms/librenms/issues/4177#issuecomment-241957542 <https://github.com/librenms/librenms/issues/4177#issuecomment-241957542> If they work for others, could the wonderful amazing observium team implement these oids into the existing checker to show stats :) Regards Simon - Hestor Ltd

Then you can upgrade it and in case of troubles you can simple restore the data from backup (directory or full backup of the system). So you will only loose data that got collected between upgrade process and restore process.
