Hello Is it possible for Observium to add devices based on the management address that is returned by LLDP if SysName does not resolve? Don't get me wrong, we use DNS, but sometimes a customer network is not known to us Regards Christian

Feature request: MAC address lookup
by Attila Nagy 13 Apr '18

13 Apr '18

Hi Adam! I was looking at the ARP/NDP table on the Ports page of some of our machines and currently it displays the vendor of the given device in a tooltip. But it would make much more sense to display - if the MAC address is known - the machine that has the given MAC address instead. Opinion? Has this any chance to get implemented? Regards, Tylla

LDAP auth vs AD server
by Elmar K. Bins 11 Apr '18

11 Apr '18

Hello everybody, I can't access the archives somehow, so if there's a simple direct pointer for this... I've played around with the LDAP config quite a bit now to get it to auth users versus our AD server. So far so good, the somewhat obscure OBS_DEBUG option helps. I believe (!) auth works now, but I have an interesting effect and can still not log into Observium: 1. I use my AD user and the WRONG password I get a lot of debug output, ending in - expected - "Invalid credentials". So far, so good. 2. I use my AD user and the CORRECT password I get ZERO output regarding LDAP, I see generic debugging and versioning output though: --------------------------------- CMD[/usr/bin/svn info /opt/observium] CMD EXITCODE[0] CMD RUNTIME[0.015s] STDOUT[ Path: /opt/observium Working Copy Root Path: /opt/observium URL: http://svn.observium.org/svn/observium/branches/stable Relative URL: ^/observium/branches/stable Repository Root: http://svn.observium.org/svn Repository UUID: 61d68cd4-352d-0410-923a-c4978735b2b8 Revision: 9166 Node Kind: directory Schedule: normal Last Changed Author: adama Last Changed Rev: 9073 Last Changed Date: 2018-03-02 22:37:46 +0000 (Fri, 02 Mar 2018) ] ... some MySQL SELECTs ... ending in STDOUT[ anx-i-observium0101 ] × Load class 'Net_IPv6' from '/opt/observium/libs/pear/Net/IPv6.php': OK CACHE DISABLED.

problem upgrading subscription edition
by niklaas＠0rb.it 10 Apr '18

10 Apr '18

Hello, I have problems upgrading my Observium installation, get following message when doing the svn update: svn: E155036: Please see the 'svn upgrade' command svn: E155036: The working copy at '/opt/observium/mibs/zte' is too old (format 10) to work with client version '1.9.5 (r1770682)' (expects format 31). You need to upgrade the working copy first. Any idea how to fix that the correct way? Because just doing the svn upgrade on the affected folders does not seem to do it the right way imho.

A graph that doesn't quite match the data
by Richard Kuhns 06 Apr '18

06 Apr '18

Hello, Here's a screenshot of 2 Traffic graphs for a 10G port on a Cisco 6509. The second (week) graph seems accurate, with the spike indicating a little over 300M bits/s. The first (day) graph indicates that the same spike is only 200M bits/s. The actual numbers under the graphs agree that the max is 337.03M. Traffic Why doesn't the first graph show the actual value? This is on v 18.3.9125. Thanks, -- Richard Kuhns <rjk(a)wintek.com> Wintek Corporation 427 N 6th Street Lafayette, IN 47901-2211 Main: 765-742-8428 Direct: 765-269-8541

Re: [Observium] Port Labeling
by Mike Stupalov 06 Apr '18

Hi, port_label is cleaned field (from unusefull information), generated based on multiple possible Oids (ie ifDescr, ifName). But anyway in db such fields ifDescr and ifName stored as is without changes and can used for alerts, etc. port_label is short as possible for display in most pages. I not see reasons for keep such data ( - Printer) for display in port names. This exactly should be stored in ifAlias (wich is port description). But.. if your device not support correct ifAlias, I can try to parse ifAlias for that os.

Rx/Tx Port Errors
by Erdem HAKI 05 Apr '18

05 Apr '18

Hello, I see several Rx/Tx port errors on my Observium. For example it says Tx: 25 on the home page, but when I click on the interface, the "Errors" graph shows me that Tx 118.69m, and I can not see anything wrong with the Tx when I check the interface errors from the router CLI. How can I verify these alarms are false positive or not? Alarms are not router specific, I got alarms from both Nokia and Juniper boxes. Best

Port Labeling
by Christian 05 Apr '18

05 Apr '18

Hello, I was introduced to Observium in early March, and coming from a Nagios / Cacti type of monitoring, I am completely impressed with the power of Observium. I have CE 17.9.0 and am in the process of deploying it at my location. I have a couple of smart switches that support SNMP, but are not capable of a Port label. Thus, Observium shows the switch as Port 1, Port 2, Port 3 instead of my desired “Port 1 - Bandwidth Control” “Port 2 - Linux Server” “Port 3 - Printer” … that sort of thing. I found that I could use NaviCat to edit the MySQL database to properly label the ports, but then the next polling cycle restores the generic port label 5 minutes later. Is there any way for me to modify the polling to leave the label alone? I don’t want to look into “locking” the [port_label] field of the database tables. If I may also ask, is there any way to tell Observium that a down port is the normal (green) condition? I have some switches with ports that are not active, and if something is plugged into them, an alert would be handy. Thank you again for this amazing software. Christian

taildrops counted as errors since junos 15.X on EX series
by Arne Van Theemsche 01 Apr '18

01 Apr '18

Hi, we started to upgrade our juniper EX switches to 15.X release and notice a change of behaviour in error reporting at interface level in observium the problem lays that taildrops (which are activated by default and cannot just be, and isn't even a good practice to disable them) are now reported as errors in observium Output errors: Carrier transitions: 29, Errors: 0, Drops: 177209, Collisions: 0, Aged packets: 0, FIFO errors: 0, HS link CRC errors: 0, MTU errors: 0, Resource errors: 0 show interfaces queue xe-0/0/4 .... Tail-dropped packets : 177209 ...... prior to 15.X we only received reports/mails if the Errors Value was > 0. Honestly, we only care about errors, because taildrops will always happen from time to time I don't know if this is a change in behaviour of juniper snmp counters or that this is a flag in observium we can toggle? thx Arne

Clearing Alerts
by mal＠platinumnetworks.com.au 28 Mar '18

28 Mar '18

Hi all - I have created my very first alert checker and can see that it creates and alert according to the checker criteria. My checker looks for speed on a port and alerts if ge 100M. >From what I can see, once that alert has been created I do not have the ability to 'clear' the alert so even if the port speed drops below 100M the alert remains in failed state and if the checker criteria are met again a new alert is not created. My use case is that I need to monitor the bandwidth utilisation on this specific port on an ongoing basis and be alerted each time the speed exceeds say 100M. Appreciate any pointers to show me where I am going wrong. Cheers Mal

FW: Defining Groups

Thanks Adam – Have updated to rolling (9128) and can see the groups is now different but I am still not seeing any members in my group ☹. I am thinking that the ruleset itself is not working because I created another group that does work using “device.hostname match *qld*”. Is the ruleset definition ‘port.port_descr_descr match *L3*’ correct if I want all ports with a parsed description including L3? My port description is something like… CUST: ABC Cust (Channel Wireless L3)…….. I was expecting the ruleset to match on *L3* and return results including L3.

Traffic Accounting
by mal＠platinumnetworks.com.au 23 Mar '18

23 Mar '18

Hi all - Have just upgraded to the subscription version and looking to understand what functionality I can get out of the traffic accounting. There are 2 initial aims I'd like to get some thoughts about. 1. Creating alert/email notification based on the outbound total traffic from specific ports. Example: if total outbound data for the current billing period is equal to 50% of quota, email customer. Similarly for say 75%, 90% and 100% of quota. 2. Configure bill to compare only outbound traffic to quota when calculating overusage. I am hoping someone may have tried previously and can give me some direction. Appreciate any thoughts. Mal

New device / custom graph
by Steffen Schwebel 22 Mar '18

22 Mar '18

Greetings o/ I have an instance with observium running and am trying to add a new device/graph for it. There seems to be little information for this. I tried looking into the mailing list archive as well at http://postman.memetic.org/pipermail/observium/ but get a 403. So, forgive me for asking again what must be a frequent question. My device is a PDU from "Gude" described by MIB GUDEADS-PDU818X. I can see that there are already devices from "Gude" in the source like "Gude Expert PDU" described by GUDEADS-PDU8110-MIB but so far I have not been successful. Are there any documents, guides or anything that you can recommend? Any help is greatly appreciated. Best regards, Steffen Schwebel

NTP agent issue
by Ron Marosko 22 Mar '18

22 Mar '18

Howdy Adam, et. al., I've run into an issue with the agent ntpd script on certain of my servers where the command "ntpdc -c iostats" times out with no response. However, the equivalent command used with ntpq works fine and provides the correct information Witness: root@observium:/opt/observium# ntpdc -c iostats localhost: timed out, nothing received ***Request timed out root@observium:/opt/observium# ntpq -c iostats time since reset: 1116387 receive buffers: 10 free receive buffers: 9 used receive buffers: 0 low water refills: 1 dropped packets: 0 ignored packets: 0 received packets: 140116 packets sent: 145459 packet send failures: 0 input wakeups: 140118 useful input wakeups: 140118 root@observium:/opt/observium# Yes, that is actually on the VM running observium. For simplicity of minimum changes to the script, I made the following change: // START SETTINGS /// $ntpq = "ntpq"; $ntpdc = "ntpq"; // END SETTINGS /// End result is this: You can see where I made the change to the script yesterday afternoon. The related version of ntpd is: ntpd - NTP daemon program - Ver. 4.2.8p4 I don't know if you want to push this out as a change overall, but wanted to make you aware of this so that it's documented somewhere at least.

Logging changes to Observium
by Josh Williams 14 Mar '18

14 Mar '18

Is there a way to log who is doing what whithin Observium? I would like to be able to tell who is adding or deleting devices, making changes to the config, or making any changes to Observium for that matter. I am not able (allowed) to lock down the config by making changes in the config.php. I have to keep the configs open to be changed by anyone on the team. This is truthfully a null point as the admin and root passwords are mandated to be stored in our team password vault anyway. I'd like a way to make others accountable for their actions. Thanks, Josh
