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

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.

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?

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.

Aggregate vs individual port graph maximum value & 95th % on bits graph
by Sean Pedersen 04 Dec '17

04 Dec '17

I have two graph questions that I haven't been able to get an answer on via IRC, so I thought this might be easier since I can include more information up front: 1st Question: A 2-port aggregate graph (agg_bits.png) shows a maximum value based on :AVERAGE while individual port graphs (port1_bits.png, port2_bits.png) for the ports that make up the aggregate show a maximum value based on :MAX. Is this intentional? If not, would it be possible to remove or toggle graphing average vs. maximum data on individual port graphs? I think both data points are useful, but in general when providing graphs the 5-minute average the only data we'd want to show them. More data below. 2nd Question: The "bits_old" graph includes 95th % both graphed and in the legend. Would it be possible to get the same for the other bits graphs, or at minimum, just bits? I did some digging and didn't find a means to use options via graphs.php to generate it myself. Question 1 data: An aggregate graph (bits) takes the :AVERAGE inbound and outbound of the two ports, using that data to create the graph and populate the legend (min/max/avg, etc.): DEF:in0=/opt/observium/rrd/dce01.01.mmr01/port-10.rrd:INOCTETS:AVERAGE DEF:out0=/opt/observium/rrd/dce01.01.mmr01/port-10.rrd:OUTOCTETS:AVERAGE DEF:in1=/opt/observium/rrd/dce02.01.mmr02/port-10.rrd:INOCTETS:AVERAGE DEF:out1=/opt/observium/rrd/dce02.01.mmr02/port-10.rrd:OUTOCTETS:AVERAGE The individual ports use both :AVERAGE and :MAX. DEF:outoctets=/opt/observium/rrd/dce01.01.mmr02/port-10.rrd:OUTOCTETS:AVERAG E DEF:inoctets=/opt/observium/rrd/dce01.01.mmr02/port-10.rrd:INOCTETS:AVERAGE DEF:outoctets_max=/opt/observium/rrd/dce01.01.mmr02/port-10.rrd:OUTOCTETS:MA X DEF:inoctets_max=/opt/observium/rrd/dce01.01.mmr02/port-10.rrd:INOCTETS:MAX (I didn't include all the CDEFs, AREAS, HRULES, etc. for brevity, but I have copies of each RRD command for reference, if needed.) The "Max" value in the legend reflects the :AVERAGE-based maximum on the aggregate graph and the :MAX-based maximum on the individual graph. Because of this, when compared side-by-side, the values do not match. Aggregate Max: p1_in: 118.25Mb p1_out: 31.95Mb p2_in: 40.15Mb p2_out: 2.61Mb Port 1 Max: p1_in: 304.39Mb p1_out: 98.77Mb Port 2 Max: p2_in: 90.94Mb p2_out: 14.05Mb -- Thanks, skpio

Ciena SAOS thresholds using incorrect OIDs
by Erik Muller 03 Dec '17

03 Dec '17

We recently added some Ciena 3942s and 3904s to our monitoring, and found that Observium (CE 17.9.8859) is picking up the wrong OID for some sensors. It seems that the same OID was reused for a couple of checks where they should have been the next in sequence, causing optics Tx power and voltage to not be properly checked. The below change syncs the checks with the correct MIB values, and fixed the false alarms it was generating for us. thanks, -e admin@nms:~$ diff -ub /opt/observium/includes/discovery/sensors/wwp-leos-port-xcvr-mib.inc.php.orig /opt/observium/includes/discovery/sensors/wwp-leos-port-xcvr-mib.inc.php --- /opt/observium/includes/discovery/sensors/wwp-leos-port-xcvr-mib.inc.php.orig 2017-02-01 11:31:13.983653739 -0500 +++ /opt/observium/includes/discovery/sensors/wwp-leos-port-xcvr-mib.inc.php 2017-02-01 15:39:05.687844414 -0500 @@ -59,7 +59,7 @@ foreach ($oids as $index => $entry) { $entry['descr'] = dbFetchCell("SELECT `ifDescr` FROM `ports` WHERE `device_id` = ?

Grouping both ends of Core P2P links into single Graph
by Andrew Lemin 30 Nov '17

30 Nov '17

Hi, We are evaluating Observium at the moment, and we have many point-to-point links in our WAN as everyone should ;) Each end of the same p2p link is labeled to be identical; interface Te1/1/1 description CORE:DeviceA=DeviceB This results in two graphs in Observium. One for DeviceA (labelled "CORE:DeviceA=DeviceB") and one for DeviceB (labelled "CORE:DeviceA=DeviceB"). However as they are connected back-to-back to each other they show the exact same information (just "in" and "out" reversed obviously). Is it possible to merge these two ports/graphs into a single logical Core link? This would significantly save on screen real estate (halving the Core page at the least) and make tracing paths through the network much more logical. Similar to how the Customer graphs aggregate multiple ports with the same description together. But I guess throwing away one side of the link maybe? Details for each end could still be seen on the specific device's page to view locally significant things like port errors etc Thanks, Andy.

Hi all - I've noticed that some of my devices display an option to connect directly via SSH etc. as per attached screenshot but unfortunately not all devices provide this option.
