Copy module properties between devices
by Jason Lixfeld 25 Oct '17

25 Oct '17

Hey there, Is there perhaps a knob that can be used to copy device properties from Device > Properties > Modules from one device to another, or better yet, if I create a group of devices, can I have all members of the group inherit the same properties? I’ve looked through the GUI and also through the available CLI scripts looking for some clues, but haven’t found anything, so perhaps there’s no such ability? Thanks!

Status Map

Is there any recommendations for a "Status Map" that is more like Nagvis? We are in the process of moving all our alert checks from Icinga to observium and would like a more robust solution than the current overview map for our operations center display. -- Kris Kirkland ~ K5KRK 2B1ASK1 - http://goo.gl/5bU4F0

Device taking > 5 minutes to poll
by Jason Lixfeld 24 Oct '17

24 Oct '17

Hey all, I’ve got a device (Zhone MXK-F) with over 10,000 ports on it, and Observium is taking well over 5 minutes to poll it (upwards of 15 minutes, actually). While there isn’t a definition specifically for MXK-F, it’s getting detected as MXK. os.inc.php is setting max-rep 50, so it’s at least trying to bulk walk, but I don’t know if it’s actually working. Overriding to max-rep 100 doesn’t have an affect on the polling time. So, I guess my question is whether or not I’m on the right track in assuming that this issue is likely that of bulk walk on this device, or possibly some other issue, and how would I determine one way or the other? If it’s something that I can pinpoint, I can throw it back to the vendor to fix. From the digging I’ve done so far, all other poller processes called from poller-wrapper complete in under 5 minutes, so I’m fairly certain that this issue is one of the device, not Observium. But, to be thorough, I moved my database and RRD storage over to local SSDs, and also enabled rrdcached - all that to ensure I didn’t have any I/O issues. /pollerlog/view=devices indicates that it’s just the one device that has high timing (although other devices of the same type are spots 2-7 on the top 10 list high timers, but none is over 300 seconds except for this guy). root@monitor:/home/jlixfeld# /opt/observium/poller.php -VV Observium 17.9.8837 ##### Software versions ##### o OS Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 [amd64] (Debian 8 (jessie)) o Apache 2.4.10 o PHP 5.6.30-0+deb8u1 (OPcache: DISABLED) o Python 2.7.9 o MySQL 5.5.55-0+deb8u1 (extension: mysqli 5.5.55) o SNMP NET-SNMP 5.7.2.1 o RRDtool 1.4.8 (rrdcached 1.4.8: unix:/opt/observium/rrdcached.sock) ##### Memory Limit ##### o PHP Unlimited ##### MySQL mode ##### o MySQL ##### Charset info ##### o PHP UTF-8 o MySQL utf8 ##### Timezones info ##### o Date Monday, 02-Oct-17 12:55:15 EDT o PHP -04:00 o MySQL -04:00 root@monitor:/home/jlixfeld# Thanks all!

Observium migration
by Edvinas K 24 Oct '17

24 Oct '17

Hello, I freshly installed Observer community edition. Now i need to migrate all information from old mashine to new one. I'm ready to move these things from old mashine to newone: 1)RRD Folder 2)Mysql db 3)Weathermap configuration with existing interface number (requirements is that they would be left the same). So everything should be Ok, but i noticed in older mashine i see in config.php the db configuration is without "$config['db_extension'] = 'mysqli';" like in new one. Will it's possible to get any problem because of that ? Thanks.

Graphing OSPF neighbour count?
by Brandwatch NOC 23 Oct '17

23 Oct '17

Hi All, Love Observium, thanks! We had an issue on Friday with an OSPF adjacency; we didn't see it for various reasons and the logs on the device aged out quickly so we don't have a historical on when it came back. We will extend the log depth and possibly ship logs centrally but that doesn't help us on this occasion. This led to me digging around in Observium to see if it had captured the neighbour flapping. The routing tab is great and even shows neighbour count, but it doesn't seem to be graphed (unless I'm overlooking it). Is this something that I could turn on somehow? Many thanks! Chris

Syslog Integration
by Philippe Hurtubise 20 Oct '17

Hi, I am trying to configure syslog integration to send syslog from Windows server to Obeservium. I followed instruction on this page http://docs.observium.org/syslog/. But at the bottom of the page I am not sure what to do. Syslog-ng Make sure these options are set : options { chain_hostnames(0); keep_hostname(1); use_dns(no); }; Use this as destination in syslog-ng.conf, change syslog.php path to match yours source s_net { udp(); }; destination d_observium { program("/opt/observium/syslog.php" template ("$HOST||$FACILITY||$LEVEL_NUM||$LEVEL||$TAG||$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY $HOUR:$MIN:$SEC||$MSG||$PROGRAM\n") template-escape(yes)); }; log { source(s_net); destination(d_observium); }; Where do I add options mentioned, where is the syslog-ng.conf file and where do I add sources section. Thanks

Tables in the Observium DB
by Eric Kollmann 16 Oct '17

16 Oct '17

First, I just took over our install of this, wasn't involved in the initial setup of observium and I understand the piece I'm asking about is not part of observium, just uses the data it collects and I want to verify if structure has changed since it was released or if there is something incorrectly setup with our system. I'm looking to build out graphviz maps with the data observium has gathered, specifically using: https://github.com/kedare/observium_map_generator Going through their code, it queries the db for the links table and fails. Looking at the database I have a neighbours table, but not links. Google search I see links table discussed back in 2014, but nothing much recently. So, did the links table go away in newer versions, or is the fact that the table is missing an issue with our setup? If it is supposed to be there and missing, I'll work on figuring that out next, if it did just go away I just want to verify that. Thanks

Bogus alerts since last CE update
by Musall, Maik 06 Oct '17

06 Oct '17

Hi, on Sept 28th I updated one installation to the new CE release (17.9.0). Since then, Observium keeps sending me interface down/up alerts for every single port on every single switch and router, once every day between 11:20 am and 11:35 am (a bunch every 5 minutes). The alerts look like this: They serve to notify me if anyone connects or disconnects something in my absence. That worked well for a year or so, until I did this update. Now I get 114 emails every day at the same time. What could be the cause, and how can I solve that? Maik

Multiple mailing options
by Franks Andy (IT Technical Architecture Manager) 06 Oct '17

06 Oct '17

Hi all, We have a scenario where we'd like, for certain alerts, to not only send via the default mail settings but also to forward to an external sms portal. This particular portal is fairly simple and works via sending an email to a certain domain with a phone number prefix. We'd need to use different mail settings for this purpose though and I was wondering if someone could think of the best way to do this. I can't really find many examples for the external script or web hook transport methods, and ideally we'd be able to do most of the configuration and filtering directly within observium rather than doing the messaging logic elsewhere. Thanks Andy

VPN site-to-site monitoring by name
by Satish Patel 04 Oct '17

I have posted on JIRA http://jira.observium.org/browse/OBS-2438 But just wonder if anyone has any solution for this issue, we have many site-to-site tunnel and in observium its just showing count but it would be good if it shows list of tunnel by name so easy to identify down tunnel and alert.

Graphs not rendering correctly
by Mal Evans 04 Oct '17

04 Oct '17

Hi all, Seem to be having a problem with the graphs on my new install (CE). See the example below: As you can see there are regular gaps in the display. I am wondering if this might have something to do with a polling cycle etc? not sure where to start investigating so any suggestions are welcome. As far as I can tell every graph shows similar behaviour. Cheers Mal

p2p radio detection
by Joey Stanford 04 Oct '17

04 Oct '17

Howdy, We noticed not that long ago that Ubiquity devices gained p2p radio detection. Is there any consideration for Ubutiks (Ubiquity RF + Microtik routerboard)? We have a number of these and the device_state array contains the p2p radio info just like the Ubiquity radios do. Discovery put the ubutiks into the network category like a normal mikrotik. We’ve been changing them over by hand to wireless for categorization. Thanks, Joey

Feature request: OpenBSD CARP and pf
by Tommy Nevtelen 28 Sep '17

28 Sep '17

Hi there! I would like to request CARP-MIB and PF-MIB support in Observium. Most importantly show if the CARP interfaces are master or backup. So we can get alerted. Maybe show it in the same way as Cisco ASA Active/Passive or some other better suited as you can have an arbitrary amount of CARP interfaces. And then the ability to graph the statistics from PF-MIB. The MIBs for reference: https://github.com/openbsd/src/tree/master/share/snmp Not sure if this is a lot of work or not though, hope some of it is easy enough :) -- Tommy Nevtelen

Is there an option to keep observium from "obsessing" over an alert? I would like to only alert once on failure and once on recovery, not every time it checks. -- Kris Kirkland ~ K5KRK 2B1ASK1 - http://goo.gl/5bU4F0

Hi, Please reply to the mailing list instead of directly to me. Also, can you make the image a bit smaller still? I can still read it if I really try... Either way, have you selected the correct entity type? * is not matching any entity so I'd assume not.

Preferred MTA?
by Joe Brouillette 27 Sep '17

27 Sep '17

Hey all, I've been trying to get Observium to send alerts to my Exchange server. Wireshark on Exchange shows nothing so I just gave up, looked online and found a post from Adam saying to not use SMTP; he recommended using an MTA instead. Does Observium have a preferred MTA? Any to watch out for?

After updating to 8852 my multi-customoid graphs are broken. Line graphs render but have no devices/data points and stacked graphs return the error image. Rolling back to 8851 shows expected behavior. Jesse

Hi,Observium Team: I'm a test engineer for Fiberhome, and we currently plan to write files for Fiberhome's network devices in community version software.

I hope our developers can join you later to develop this software and make it better.

Pandacom DWDM devices
by Andre Geißler 26 Sep '17

26 Sep '17

Hi all Recently we purchased some DWDM devices from Pandacom (SPEED-OTS-5000). Might be interesting for more than us to have them in observium. Is there a way for a non-programmer like me to add those devices? What I can provide are the MIB files. If access to a device is needed for testing I'd like to use my contact at Pandacom Cheers, Andre

Hey folks, Is there a simple way to export the entire config for the Observium community edition? I'm running the latest 16x version on a dedicated server but would rather switch over to a simplified KVM virtual server. Can someone explain the proper path to accomplish this? Thanks.
