Polling/alerts
by Hermes J. Martinez 11 Jan '18

11 Jan '18

Hello everyone, I am new to Observium and I have a question, can someone explain to me how the polling works? And the email alerts are sent when the device is down/up(Recover) or when the polling time is met? For example: In the next image I have two cases at 9:37am I received the email for the alert and for the recovery (this is normal or I need to check somethings in the config?) Thank you! kind Regards Hermes J.

stopping queued alerts
by Edvinas K 10 Jan '18

10 Jan '18

Hello, Recently we had a case when network infrastructure went down, and only after some time we fixed it. Observium noticed it and everything was OK. But in meantime of fixing it - Observium started to flood with alerts - this may be the correct case. But after we repaired the network - and everything was OK, we still had a flood of old errors and it continued about an hour or so. I tried to disable email alerts through config.php, supress all alerts through WEB interface - but nothing helped. So is there any manual way to stop the Alerting queue ? Thanks

Monitoring interfaces is about as industry standard as it gets. If we're not picking up a port, it's because your device is bizarrely not exposing it. Have you tried walking the ifTable and seeing if it's present?

exclude or skip wildcard match for poller and discovery
by Richard Wigzell 10 Jan '18

10 Jan '18

Hello, We are currently running Pro r8993 with 650+ devices and will be adding another 400 or so shortly, to support this we will try a deployment as described in some detail by Markus: http://blog.best-practice.se/2017/10/scaling-observium-horizontally.html We do however also have another edge case to deal with in the form of an infrastructure that we cannot look into but can send out of, the inhibitor is political and not technical. We are halfway to solving it technically however by using a poller remotely with wildcard host name matching as the 'remote' stuff has a common domain part. Our other 'normal' pollers however need to be told to exclude or skip polling / discovery of the remote devices. Can a wildcard skip or exclude be added to the poller-wrapper script for this purpose? Picture attached for reference.

Missing ethernet port when monitoring Synology NAS

Hi, I'm pretty new on ObserviumJ and could use some help: Added my Synology NAS. Want to monitor also the Network interface, but the only port I see is the loopback IF. Thanks in advance. Regards, Edwin

Missing EngineID
by Alberto Busso 09 Jan '18

09 Jan '18

Hi all, I am a new user of observium and I am doing some tests with few devices before deploying it on a wider network. When I try to add my first device (with -d option), it only partially works. In the log I have only this error: CMD[/usr/bin/snmpget -v2c -c *** -Pu -OQv -m SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB -M /opt/observium/mibs/rfc:/opt/observium/mibs/net-snmp 'udp':'172.16.192.102':'161' snmpEngineID.0] CMD EXITCODE[0] CMD RUNTIME[0.0324s] CMD EXITDELAY[10ms] STDOUT[ No Such Object available on this agent at this OID ] SNMP STATUS[FALSE] SNMP ERROR[#1000 - Failed response] So, it seems I am not getting the EngineID object. Then at the end of the log I have this: SQL[INSERT INTO `devices` (`hostname`,`sysName`,`status`,`snmp_community`,`snmp_port`,`snmp_transport`,`snmp_version`,`os`,`snmpEngineID`,`location`,`sysContact`) VALUES ('172.16.192.102','Terlapini RB Sottotetto','1','public','161','udp','v2c','routeros','','Gussago','Elsy')] SQL RUNTIME[0.04079700s] Devices failed: 1. So, it seems that the script will try to add the device but with an empty EngineID field. The result is that the device is added (e.g. I can see it in the device when accessing e.g. via web interface, but when I click on it, it does not show up in the list with a reply that there are no devices matching the search criterias). I also noticed that if I try to add a second device with same EngineID problem, the SQL INSERT will fail with ' duplicate key' error. I have the impression that the EngineID is used as a unique key in the SQL DB and if it is empty this may cause problems. Am I right? In this case, I have to understand why I cannot get the EngineID from the device. Tnx Alberto

Graphing BIND with multiple views?
by Stephen Fulton 07 Jan '18

07 Jan '18

Hi all, I'm trying to graph BIND stats, which the normal method works well, but in this case the recursive-only server has multiple views configured and the stats returned by RNDC are broken into categories based on views. The Observium "Server Statistics" page looks accurate, but the Resolving and Queries page have almost data recorded (some data in "Errors" and "Incoming Queries" respectively, but not complete in either section). Has anyone dealt with this before? Thanks, -- Stephen

Alerts on Aggregate values or sums?
by Darrell Budic 02 Jan '18

02 Jan '18

Bit of an RFE here, would like to be able to alert on the aggregate value for a group, or do sums in the alert checker test field, unless I’m just missing how to do this? My particular use check is adding up the total power for a 3 phase PDU (and a group for the power panel), and alerting if the total watts or amps are greater than 80% of the circuit capacity. Total Power Output on my APC 3 phase PDUs doesn’t work for me here because it’s dependent on the power factor of the connected devices, and that isn’t readily available in observium. Even if it was, I’d still need math (division this time) on two values. Sums/aggregates seem like the easiest route for this task. Thanks, -Darrell

Is there a way to get a summary (and sum) of a particular sensor? I’d like to have a one graph for all my PDUs with the apower attribute summed up for a total, see what the absolute # is. -Darrell

The device was reachable and etc. I did a "rebuild' and they're reappeared again. What could be the cause ? NXOS ? :)

NetFlow Recommendation
by Oludayo Oyediran 20 Dec '17

20 Dec '17

Afternoon All, We recently purchased Observium after a recommendation from our Network Engineer, what Netflow software would you recommend to use alongside Observium? If you know any Open Source ones, that'd be awesome. I came across Nfsen but it's a tad too old. Also I have Observium talking to 6 out of 8 of my routers and SNMP is turned on on all of them. If you require any info please let me know. There are 7 Cisco x 1 Juniper routers and the affected routers are Cisco.

Multi year history
by Attila Nagy 19 Dec '17

19 Dec '17

Hi everyone! I was wondering about whether there is a recommended/approved/tested/tolerated way or plan of creating multi-year history (RRD data)? To reformulate it, changing the day/week/month/year history into something like day/week/month/year/10years... It's not a show-stopper, but sometimes there is demand to show or analyze historical data for more than 1 year in the past. Regards, Tylla

Hi everyone! We are using the CE version (17.9.0) so ignore my e-mail if this is already solved in the Pro edition. We started to configure the UNIX agent on a few of our machines and we saw that all the pop-up graphs in the Apps overviews are only showing the last 24 hours. Is this on purpose? Isn't there some possibility to make these graphs show the usual way (day, week, month, year)? Regards, Tylla

Problem with special characters on device descriptions / snmp location etc...
by Javier Valero 11 Dec '17

11 Dec '17

Hello We are using Observium CE as part of our monitoring systems at IslaLink / OranLink. A few weeks ago, we updated to the last CE version (17.9.0). Since then, we are experiencing problems with the interface descriptions that may contain some especial characters like “áóéñ…”. It also happens with the SNMP location string. Seems that this was an old bug that was already solved: Observium OBS-1396 UTF-8/ISO characters fail in SNMP location This is causing some events flood, and incorrect display. I attach some captures: [cid:image001.png@01D35C8C.F9C1C980][cid:image002.png@01D35C8C.F9C1C980] We tried to remove all special characters, but sometimes it’s not possible or easy. May this bug have emerged again? Thank you. Best regards.
