Thank you for your help.

by Davide Magni 22 May '17

22 May '17

Hi, I have a question about the "poller.php -h all" added in crontab, to run every 5 minutes. I need to install a cronjob for son specific appliances, to run every 10 minutes: > */10 * * * * /app/observium/poller.php -h 48 > */10 * * * * /app/observium/poller.php -h 49 > */10 * * * * /app/observium/poller.php -h 50 Is it possible to exclude this specific appliances from the "-h all" option? Thank you. -- *Davide Magni*

RealTime traffic view problem

Hello, we are running 17.5.8545 rolling and the Real time traffic graph is not working with the following error: "Can't get data about port (port id)" regardless of port id.

Temperature sensors
by Justin Miller 15 May '17

15 May '17

I’ve got a lot of equipment outside and as the weather flips from cool to hot to cool to hot I get a lot of alerts. I’ve got swings from 30 to 55 c. Is there a way to widen the auto generated limits across all system temperature oids? I tried adjusting the alert test conditions using arithmetic but I do not think it’s implemented. I tried this: sensor_value greater (@sensor_limit*1.25) sensor_value less (@sensor_limit_low*0.75) Justin

Stuck alerts for sensors and statuses
by Robert Williams 12 May '17

12 May '17

Hi, Following a series of device upgrades and reloads over the last couple of days; we now have some 'invisible' stuck alerts: I cannot seem to find them anywhere, clicking them produces a blank list and even if you click the "Total" column. In this example I clicked the number "605" under Statuses but I get a page which only shows 595 items - so 10 missing, which equals the number of phantom alerts exactly. We had this once before and it was to do with devices, which are set to 'Ignore' for their alerts. We have 42 devices like this (a mixture of Lab and workstations) which unfortunately, would be a very large amount of manual checking. So I'm hoping there is a better way and I'm just missing it? :) So - any idea how I can find/reset/clear these items? Cheers!

session problems with centos 7, php 70, and latest stable Observium
by Darrell Budic 03 May '17

03 May '17

I’ve recently upgraded a commercial observium install to PHP 7 (from IUS) on Centos 7. Ever since, it’s been dropping my session and requiring a fresh login very very often. Sometimes as soon as I login, the links on the home page are telling me my session has expired, and sometimes everything works fine for hours. More often then not, I’m logged out within an hour though. This happens with basic mysql auth and ldap auth. I don’t see anything in the log files to indicate why the sessions are dropping, is there a debugging setting that can help me figure out what is going wrong? Any known gotchas under php 7.0 for the sessions? Looks like r7476 on the stable tree. Thanks, -Darrell

Hello all, Today I added first Juniper MX480 to our Observium (Subscription Edition), but for some reason it doesn't discover physical interfaces. Loopbacks are properly discovered. What is interesting, when I look into "Inventory" I can see chassis, PEMs and FPCs. I've seen in the docs that MX960 is supported, so should be MX480. Are there any special knobs I should use to get this working please? Kind regards, Marcin Kurek

Cisco switches showing wrong Packet Size
by Jim Glassford 26 Apr '17

26 Apr '17

Hi, No luck trying to review the Observium Archives see if this was asked before, getting a Not Found off the web link. Running Observium 17.3.8438 (stable), question on MTU size on Cisco interfaces. On our HP ProCurve switches with Jumbo enabled, all displays correctly, see MTU as 9216 on the interfaces as expected. On our Cisco models with Jumbo enabled, MTU shows 1500 on Average Packet Size graph. I believe this is due to Cisco interfaces showing the MTU as 1500 even when Jumbo frames are enabled and are passing Jumbo on the switch interfaces. Seeing this on both Cisco models 2960s and 3K the Average Packet Size found to be 1500. Any chance someone have a work around for this Cisco problem, able to set the MTU up to 9216 for the interfaces? Appreciated! Jim

HyperV CPU usage
by Anthony Creed 19 Apr '17

19 Apr '17

Hello, I'm running some windows 2016 HyperVs and I'd like to get the CPU usage including the VMs so I can see which HyperV is overloaded and balance them out accordingly but what I get at the moment is just what the host is using which is about 2-5%. I know performance monitor can gather these status so is there any way to get observium to latch on to that CPU stst rather than just what the host is using?

Overview page - Statuses - Down Column issue
by Todd (Tech-Rat) 18 Apr '17

18 Apr '17

Hello all, I am running SVN revision 8457 from 2017-03-19. I noticed that the overview page on the Statuses Row, Down column, showed "2 alert" but when I clicked on the link it would show no entries. After looking at the code and contents of the SQL data I found out that I have two power supplies that have a "down" state. This is accurate. In html/includes/cache-data.inc.php line 439 the switch statement increments the $cache['statuses']['stat']['alert'] variable which is why I see the "2 alert" link which is correct. But the link from html/includes/status-summary.inc.php line 79 says: (Short version) generate_url(array('page' => 'health', 'metric' => 'status', 'event' => 'alert,')) I thought the extra comma after alert was odd but I added down and now the health page shows the two down power supplies. New version: generate_url(array('page' => 'health', 'metric' => 'status', 'event' => 'alert,down')) Thanks for a great product. Todd (Tech-Rat)

Collectd graph tuning
by Jesper Frank Nemholt 18 Apr '17

18 Apr '17

Hi! Not sure if other have the same issue, but my Collectd graphs show up occupying just half of the size compared to normal Observium graphs, plus the font size is so tiny that you can't really read it. I found in /opt/observium/html/includes/collectd/config.php that the following control the size of the graphs, and if I multiply the variable with 2 like in the example below, I get pretty close to the right size : // Array of paths when collectd's rrdtool plugin writes RRDs $config['datadirs'] = array($config['collectd_dir']); // Width of graph to be generated by rrdgraph if(isset($_GET['width'])) { $config['rrd_width'] = $_GET['width'] ** 2*; } else { $config['rrd_width'] = 270; } // Height of graph to be generated by rrdgraph if(isset($_GET['height'])) { $config['rrd_height'] = $_GET['height'] ** 2*; } else { $config['rrd_height'] = 120; } Clearly there should be a more precise way than just multiply with 2....I guess someone this list may know the proper way to solve this ? The other thing that I have not yet solved is the font size. How do I control the size so I can set it to something similar to what Observium uses itself for RRD graphs ? /Jesper

Device polling issue
by Cody Cook 13 Apr '17

13 Apr '17

Hi, I have been using Observium for a long time and I use it in my home. I have a pretty big lab network in my house. I get a lot of equipment for testing from my employer, NETGEAR. My discovery is every 5 minutes and my poller is every 2 or 3 minutes. Anyway, during discovery, the Processors on one of my products, WC9500, is constantly updating the event log, updating all processors to descr Processor vs descr Intel Xeon @ 2.00 GHz. Before I chose to inquire with Observium mailing list, I've been e-mailing back and forth with the wireless controller developers asking them to address the fact that out of all of my devices, the WC9500 is the only device that can't seem to keep the processor right, and keeps spamming my event logs. They immediately want to point blame at Observium, but I won't let them. Anyway, I just thought I'd check to see if anyone has also experienced any similar output during Discovery, and if you can give me any better clues to provide to my developers to show them it is an issue with the device and not Observium. In my testing to see how I could reproduce it, I spammed the device with snmpwalk requests to pull out the processor and it never faulted from "Intel Xeon @ 2.00 GHz", so I wasn't finding "Processor" there. Review screen shot to see event log for the device. Thanks for any assistance. Cody

WMI service query
by Steve Pierce 30 Mar '17

30 Mar '17

Hello, I had a question concerning the WMI implementation in Observium. I’d like to be able to create an alert to track the state of a service. Using the following WMIC command I’m able to view the state of a particular service wmic -U DOMAINNAME/Username%Password //HOSTNAME.DOMAIN.COM "SELECT Name,State FROM Win32_Service where Name='vmicvss'" CLASS: Win32_Service Name|State vmicvss|Stopped Is it possible to turn this command into an alert somehow? I’m currently running the latest release of the Subscription Edition (revision 8449). Thanks, Steve

Hi. I have a switch "Lenovo RackSwitch G8332" that observium doesn't support. Observium is capable to monitoring all the interfaces but it marks as a Generic Device. Another model of Lenovo RackSwitch (G8052) is working properly. How we can add this model in observium? Thank you in advance, Albert
