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

Issue with Search Function in BGP Sessions
by Gumilar Siegfried 18 Sep '17

18 Sep '17

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. I guess this is caused by the "pageno=2" in the URL: http://x.x.x.x/routing/protocol=bgp/graph=NULL/view=details/pagination=1/pa…... 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 18 Sep '17

18 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.

Geolocation detection improvement
by Mamitzsch,André 15 Sep '17

15 Sep '17

Hello We are constantly running into issues with the geolocation service and the automated detection of the coordinates – people tend to set additional information in the sysLocation which finally cause the geo api’s to fail. I would like to suggest a small format / code change here to make the geo location detection more usable and reliable. SysLocation should be set up in the form: <Business Name / Rack Location> Street No., ZIP Code City, Country The <Business Name / Rack Location> is still stored in observium but ignored when querying the api. --- geolocation.inc.php.org 2017-07-18 22:09:56.994896291 +0200 +++ geolocation.inc.php 2017-07-18 22:09:40.082938507 +0200 @@ -20,9 +20,14 @@ function get_geolocation($address, $geo_db = array(), $dns_only = FALSE) { global $config; + /* $address parsing, allow business names or additional information */ + /* address line should be: <ACME INC> Test Street 42, 823456 Somewhere */ + $address_orig = $address; + $address = preg_replace("/^<?.*>/","",$address); + $ok = FALSE; - $location = array('location' => $address); // Init location array + $location = array('location' => $address_orig); // Init location array $location['location_geoapi'] = strtolower(trim($config['geocoding']['api'])); if (!isset($config['geo_api'][$location['location_geoapi']])) { -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Best regards, André Mamitzsch

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

Hi All Im not sure if its Observium or TP-Link I should be asking really but ill ask in both places? Observium told me, one of our switches rebooted (which seemed odd as nobody can gain physical access to it) I checked observium and that shows an uptime of 16h 20m 30s When I snmpwalk the switch I can see DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (5883922) 16:20:39.22 But the TP-Link web panel shows RunTime: 332 day - 2 hour - 2 min - 39 sec ??? Any suggestions would be helpful :) Regards Simon

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

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 ?

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/

devices without snmp
by Hans Wolters 18 Aug '17

18 Aug '17

Dear all, Currently we are looking into the different option to get data from NSX Edge devices. Since snmp is not available on them we used the api to get the statistic information. Currently we store those values in a database. We would like to know what would be the best way to import this data into observium. Our goal is to have a generic solution that we can use for all kinds of data gathered from devices without snmp. We are also willing to contribute this to the observium community. >From what I have seen we have several options: 1. using an agent to provide the data on the agent port. 2. write an application. Both options would not make it very flexible. Could you please advise? Best regards, Hans Wolters

Customer Records Missing on rebuild
by Mal Evans 16 Aug '17

16 Aug '17

Hi - I did a full rebuild of Observium and restored the database. I previously had the ability to view 'Customers'. I can still see the Customers item in the Ports drop down but there are no entries. I can see that there are no records in the Customers table in the db. Since the customers were generated by polling the devices I thought this might just be a short term problem however after nearly 24 hours there are still no customer entries. I am wondering if I have missed something in the config or if perhaps this is because I have only installed the community edition initially whereas we had previously used the subscription edition including the traffic accounting functionality? Not sure where to start investigating the issue so would appreciate any suggestions. Cheers Mal

Server port description
by Pieter De Wit 16 Aug '17

16 Aug '17

Hi Guys, What effect does the “Server:” port description have “inside” observium - I can’t see anything. Can we get a server tab under the ports menu perhaps ? (I am using the stable SVN so this might already be implemented) (Core etc has the effect of putting it under a certain tab etc) Thanks, Pieter

Found bug? in p2p_radios poller / discovery
by Lyndon Labuschagne 16 Aug '17

16 Aug '17

Hello I am running Observium 17.7.8697 (stable), I also tried rolling but seem to have the same issue I noticed some radios on our network did not have the P2P radio tab while others did, in some cases these where identical radios with identical firmware. When I poll the devices with -dd I get the following The poller seems to push an error "ERROR[Error in query: (Column 'radio_name' cannot be null) 1048]” Now if I take and change the 8th position from NULL and add the “radio name” I can then see the P2P Radio tab in Observium and the correct information is visible, when the poller runs again the “radio_name” is removed "INSERT INTO `p2p_radios` (`device_id`,`radio_mib`,`radio_index`,`radio_tx_freq`,`radio_rx_freq`,`radio_tx_power`,`radio_rx_level`,`radio_name`,`radio_bandwidth`,`radio_modulation`,`radio_total_capacity`,`radio_standard`,`radio_loopback`,`radio_tx_mute`,`radio_eth_capacity`,`radio_e1t1_channels`,`radio_cur_capacity`) VALUES ('1150','ubnt-airmax-mib','1.128.42.168.46.239.89','5195000','5195000','27','-65',NULL,NULL,NULL,'146250000',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,'146250000’)]” More details output below if needed ##### Module Start: p2p-radios ##### SQL[SELECT * FROM `p2p_radios` WHERE `device_id` = '1150'] ROWS[1] SQL RUNTIME[0.00084591s] o UBNT-AirFIBER-MIB UBNT-AirFIBER-MIB CMD[/usr/bin/snmpwalk -t '1' -r '3' -v1 -c 'MTsnmpRO99' -Pu -OQUs -m UBNT-AirFIBER-MIB -M /opt/observium/mibs/rfc:/opt/observium/mibs/net-snmp:/opt/observium/mibs/ubiquiti 'udp':'sectornorth.highsite.kzn.domain.co.za':'161' airFiberConfigIndex] CMD EXITCODE[0] CMD RUNTIME[0.1514s] STDOUT[ ] All quotes stripped from snmp output, also for indexes and values!

10 Aug '17

Hi all, We have a requirement for some IPv6 IPSLA instances on an ASR9k. Can't say this has ever come up before, but anyway, it appears that the IPv6 target IPs don't show up (thousand words below): Is this a known issue (ie. Cisco failing to send it) or did we find a bug? Interestingly, the actual 'result' latency data is all there (and correct) but somewhat difficult to comprehend without the target IP :) Cheers!

VRF defined by route-target not route-distinguisher
by Simon Bell 09 Aug '17

09 Aug '17

Hi All, Just wondering if there is a way to use route-target to define our VRF's on observium instead of RD. We use route reflector's and therefore have a need for different RD's on each PE for the same VRF. However this means that we get 10 or so VRF's listings for the same VRF. Ideally we would just flip it to be RT if possible. (we use, Juniper MX, Cisco Nexus, Cisco IOS) Any feedback massively appreciated. Only had OBS running for just over a week and hugely impressed.

by Vikas Kumar 09 Aug '17

09 Aug '17

Hello everyone, I am a newbie to observium. I am using Observium CE 0.16.10.8128 (6th October 2016) . I have configured config.php as follows: $config['poller-wrapper']['alerter'] = TRUE; $config['email']['enable'] = TRUE; $config['email']['from'] = "noreply(a)xyz.com"; $config['email']['default'] = "uname(a)xyz.com"; $config['email']['default_only'] =TRUE; $config['email']['backend'] = "mail"; $config['email']['sendmail_path'] = "/usr/sbin/sendmail"; $config['email']['smtp_host'] = "smtp.xyz.com"; $config['email']['smtp_port'] = 587; $config['email']['smtp_timeout'] = 10; $config['email']['smtp_secure'] = "tls"; $config['email']['smtp_auth'] = TRUE; $config['email']['smtp_username'] = 'my uname'; $config['email']['smtp_password'] = 'my passwd'; I have added an alert check "device_status equals 0" for one of my server which i am monitoring using observium . The alert checker works fine as it can be seen from web based GUI but i am not receiving email notification on alert state change. Why so? Someone please guide me here is email notification not avaliable in this CE version or am i doing some where wrong? Thanks Regards, Vikas Kumar Masters Student CSE, IIT Bombay

syslog alert notifications not firing
by Joey Stanford 08 Aug '17

08 Aug '17

Howdy, I’ve setup syslog integration in our copy of observium. In the UI’s /syslog_alerts/ we are seeing the alerts. I have the syslog rules turned on in both our email and telegram contacts. I’ve rebuilt the rule checkers. Unfortunately we’re not getting alerted. We’re getting other alerts, just not for syslogs. I can’t find anything in the obs log or the server’s syslog that would tell me why it’s not working. Can anyone point me to how I can troubleshoot this please? Thanks, Joey

Hi – I read somewhere that the Community edition is released on a 6 monthly cycle and can see that the last and current release is 0.16.10 (26th October 2016). I was just wondering if this is no longer the case or whether a fresh Community edition is due for release soon ?

Storage reading error
by Timothy Illguth 08 Aug '17

08 Aug '17

Hello Support, Any advice on fixing observium so it doesn't drop reading storage? [image: Inline image 1] This seems to happen at random. I'll reboot the observium server and it comes up reading random machines as 0 storage.
