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

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 03 Oct '17

03 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

Preferred MTA?

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?

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 was wondering if I could send the files to your team, after you optimized it and added it to later releases to facilitate software upgrades and other user usage. I hope our developers can join you later to develop this software and make it better.

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

RRDTool Customisation
by William Hutchins 19 Sep '17

19 Sep '17

Hi All, What could be a silly question - Is there a straightforward switch or option to alter the RRDtool formatting from the default “opposing” format for Upload/Download, to an overlaid format in network traffic graphing? Current opposing format https://ibb.co/kbGcB5 Required Overlaid format https://ibb.co/nGJw4Q I’ve noted the config example in doco, however switching off the opposing view/feature wasn’t immediately clear. Thought I’d ask to see if the devs had a hidden php configuration switch for this, and if not, how others might’ve overcome this? Many thanks, Will

Hello! I ran into a little issue today. If I am on page two of the BGP session list and search for a remote AS the search always comes up with an empty list.

If I remove the pageno=2 section in the URL I get the right result. Regards, Siegfried

SMS alerts configuration in observium?
by Vikas Kumar 18 Sep '17

18 Sep '17

Dear all, I am trying to configure sms alerts in observium for this my institute has a sms gateway via which i can send messgaes to ant number the API is in this format " http://smsgateway.iitb.ac.in/smsapi/index.php?To=91********&Message=test2 <http://dcmonitor.iitb.ac.in/smsapi/index.php?To=919930547677&Message=test2>" . Now i want to post the notification to this API. So i edited the file /opt/observium/includes/defaults.inc.php as follows: $config['smsbox']['scheme'] = 'http'; // URL scheme, http or https. $config['smsbox']['host'] = 'smsgateway.iitb.ac.in'; // Name of host on which SMSBox is running. $config['smsbox']['port'] = '80'; // Port number on which SMSBox host receives requests. $config['smsbox']['user'] = ''; // SMSBox username. $config['smsbox']['password'] = ''; // SMSBox password. $config['smsbox']['from'] = ''; // Phone number of sender, usually overridden by SMSC. Then i edited the file /opt/observium/includes/alerting/smsbox.inc.php as follows: <?php // Kannel SMSBox documentation: http://kannel.org/download/1.5.0/userguide-1.5.0/userguide.html#AEN4623 $message = $message_tags['ALERT_STATE'] . " " . $message_tags['DEVICE_HOSTNAME'] .": " . $message_tags['ENTITY_NAME'] . "\n" . $message_tags['ALERT_MESSAGE']; $context_data = array ( 'method' => 'GET', 'header' => "Connection: close\r\n" ); $url = sprintf('%s://%s/smsapi/index.php?To=%s&Meassage=%s', $config['smsbox']['scheme'], $config['smsbox']['host'], urlencode($endpoint['phone']),urlencode($message)); $response = get_http_request($url, $context_data); if (strpos($response, "Accepted") || strpos($response, "Queued")) { $notify_status['success'] = TRUE; } else { $notify_status['success'] = FALSE; } unset($message); // EOF But still i am not able to get SMS alerts on my mobile phone. Please note that the SMS gateway has given IP based access to my machine on which observium is runnning so i do not need username and password fileds while posting message to the API. Please help me resolve this issue .

CentOS 7.4?
by William Bauer 17 Sep '17

17 Sep '17

Anyone upgrade their installation from CentOS7.3 to 7.4? I needed that upgrade on other systems due to some patches that wouldn't be released to 7.3. I've had no issues with 7.4, so I'm wondering if anyone has run into Observium related problems with 7.4? It only came out officially in the last few days, so it may be too early to ask.

New error after update to latest SVN (stable branch)
by Shon Elliott 13 Sep '17

13 Sep '17

Hi Observium List, We updated Observium to the latest svn stable branch today. I made sure we had ran the update, so it shows that everything is up to date, including the database. We found that we ran into a snag when adding new users to the system via the web interface. I was able to add the user via the adduser.php script, but it's missing some data. When I went to go edit it, it logged the same error. Here are the excerpts of the errors below, one for adding the user, and one for editing the user added via adduser.php. [Tue Sep 12 14:23:32.609888 2017] [:error] [pid 42518] [client 1.2.3.4:51614] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function hash_equals() in /usr/local/www/observium/html/includes/functions.inc.php on line 313, referer: http://xxx/adduser/ [Tue Sep 12 14:26:36.631482 2017] [:error] [pid 42518] [client 1.2.3.4:10867] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function hash_equals() in /usr/local/www/observium/html/pages/edituser.inc.php on line 125, referer: http://xxx/edituser/user_id=13/ Any ideas?

One more for the customOID topic
by Jesper Frank Nemholt 13 Sep '17

13 Sep '17

So I also upgraded to the latest and got the autodiscovery on custom OIDs. Didn't have the best effect on my system as it mapped hundreds of individual Isilon nodes to a long range of custom OIDs I had created. So lessons learned / feature requests : - Previously one could pick (one by one or multi select) the devices to be covered in a specific custom OID. THis option seems to have gone now. I'd like that option back, or alternatively be able to somehow filter or group devices. I also use the combined line or stack graphs for certain things and sometime need to show just a group of devices and not all. Right now with the new version I can only show either a single device or all devices as I cannot create custom OID groups and then narrow down what devices to show there. - On systems like Isilon where you may want to both have cluster wide data (so polling the cluster alias) but also monitor each node in the cluster, the lack of the above mentioned filtering/grouping is a problem as currently the custom OID will only work for me if I delete all individual nodes and only monitor the cluster alias. On the other hand, now Servertech Sentry4 devices are better supported, so the net outcome of the upgrade was still positive for me. /Jesper

Feature idea: custom graphs
by Jesse Defer 12 Sep '17

12 Sep '17

Prior to the recent changes to Custom OIDs (r8738~r8741) we had been abusing the feature to create custom graphs containing multiple hosts. For example we had a graph of emails delivered that combined all of our email servers in one. Now with OID discovery added and manual association removed that graph goes from 20 hosts to 600 and is no longer very useful. I think moving some of the previous functionality of Custom OIDs into it's own Custom Graph feature would be very useful and welcome feedback on the idea. Thanks, Jesse DeFer Arizona State University

Hello, Currently Eurofiber is testing Observium in our live network. So far it runs smooth. We only have 1 problem. The graphs are empty (-nan). My guess its a config.php error but im not sure. I have added a screenshot and the config.php file.

CyberPower PDU compatibility
by Kaya Saman 05 Sep '17

05 Sep '17

Hi, I've been recommended a PDU by CyberPower model: PDU15SWHVIEC8FNET and was wondering about the support if-at-all in Observium. Already I have had a bad experience with Eaton and switching to APC was much better. Would anyone be able to provide any information as to whether this make of PDU will work well with Observium and Net-snmp? Many thanks. Kaya

Traffic Summary on the front page
by Gumilar Siegfried 05 Sep '17

05 Sep '17

Hello, I just noticed the addition of a new element to the Traffic Summary on the front page: [cid:image001.png@01D32563.BD4879F0] I like the fact that we now also have a history of the Peering to Transit Ratio directly on the front page. But I am missing an information about the timeframe that is displayed here. Could you make it look like this? [cid:image003.png@01D32564.D6332630] That would be awesome! Regards, Siegfried

mib folder
by Tomasz.Kwiecien＠nordea.com 31 Aug '17

Hi, I know that you can't simply add mibs to observium :) I just want to add mib, so I can use object names instead of OID in code. I've added in include/definitions/os.inc.php: $os = "alteon-ad"; $config['os'][$os]['mibs'][] = "ALTEON-CHEETAH-NETWORK-MIB"; And try add ha status for this device using $alteon['hastatus'] = snmpwalk_cache_oid($device, 'vrrpInfoHAState', array(), 'ALTEON-CHEETAH-NETWORK-MIB'); In debug mode I can see errors /usr/bin/snmpbulkwalk -t '5' -r '3' -v2c -c 'something' -Pu -OQUs -m ALTEON-CHEETAH-NETWORK-MIB -M /opt/observium/mibs 'udp':'myDevice':'161' vrrpInfoHAState Cannot find module (ALTEON-CHEETAH-NETWORK-MIB) But file exist in 2 locations: /opt/observium/mibs/nortel/ALTEON-CHEETAH-SWITCH-MIB /opt/observium/mibs/alteon/ALTEON-CHEETAH-SWITCH-MIB How can I map this mib to alteon-ad os, so snmp commands would have options: -m ALTEON-CHEETAH-NETWORK-MIB -M /opt/observium/mibs/alteon:/opt/observium/mibs/rfc Instead of: -m ALTEON-CHEETAH-NETWORK-MIB -M /opt/observium/mibs ?

Front page graphs
by Philippe Hurtubise 29 Aug '17

29 Aug '17

Hi, I made a fresh install 2-3 week ago. I added mini graphs on the frontpage. It worked out for 2 weeks fine, but now the graph are incomplete. Like no data is received from the device which is an HP Procurve network switch. See image, between August 18 and 24 nothing on the graph. [cid:image001.png@01D3200E.75EFFF10] Is there something to do before reinstalling Observium fresh. Thanks

Blank Screen After Login
by İhsan Doğan 28 Aug '17

28 Aug '17

Hello, I’ve made a fresh install of Observium and during the initial setup I was using the mysql authentication type. After adding a few data sources (devices), I’ve switched to Radius authentication. In my config.php, I’ve added/changed these lines: $config['auth_mechanism'] = "radius"; $config['auth_radius_server'] = array(‚1.2.3.4'); $config['auth_radius_port'] = 1812; $config['auth_radius_secret'] = 'top_secret'; $config['auth_radius_method'] = 'PAP'; $config['auth_radius_groupmemberattr'] = 'Filter-Id'; $config['auth_radius_groups']['super_admin']['level'] = 10; $config['auth_radius_groups'][’user']['level'] = 7; The authentication works very well, but after logging in, I’m getting only an empty page an empty page. Did I miss something with the configuration? What can be the reason for the empty page? -Ihsan -- ihsan(a)dogan.ch http://blog.dogan.ch/
