Sorry, but I don't see any attached graphs. I do believe that Cisco memory graphs are working for other people, just not for me. When I go to graphs, system, all I see is processors and device uptime. Not sure where to start troubleshooting and/or correcting this. I should also note that I am using the Turnkey Linux appliance.

Should I be seeing memory usage graphs on Cisco devices?
by Don Maker 03 Mar '17

03 Mar '17

I have various Cisco devices ( catalyst switches, ios routers, ios-xe, etc), but none of them are showing any memory usage details in observium. I was surprised by this as observium did a remarkable job of recognizing and displaying information for things that most snmp tools do not, Qnap for example. It does recognize my Cisco devices and reports back on just about everything, but memory. Other tools I tried, such as Manageengine, PRTG, etc reported the memory with no issue. So, I'm skeptical that there is anything wrong with my snmp setup. I would really love to get memory usage for my Cisco devices. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears. Thanks

Syslog parsing for NXOS
by Markus Bornhauser 02 Mar '17

02 Mar '17

Hi list, Sorry if this had been asked before, but I'm unable to browse the mailing list archives. I have set up syslog parsing with Rsyslogd, like documented [1]. The syslog.php script does receive the logs and saves them in the database. Parsing logs from both Cisco Catalyst (IOS) and Cisco Nexus switches, I discovered that the NXOS logs are parsed incorrectly (see screenshot [2]). Does Observium support NXOS logs, or do I have to change something to make it as perfect as with IOS logs? [1] https://observium.org/docs/syslog/#rsyslogd [2] https://snag.gy/2eDsgH.jpg

Hi All, I think weathermap is not part of Observium, but if anyone has the same issue with me please share Since I tried to created a few maps via web using weathermap editor like example1.conf, example2.conf, example3.conf and point it to like /maps/example1.html, /maps/example2.html, /maps/example3.html Then I tried to open each map, but all maps will link to the same content instead (like in the same example3). This is so strange if anyone used to have this issue like me, please share how you can fix it Thanks a lot

Observium API / CE 0.16.1.7533
by Uwe Freier 28 Feb '17

28 Feb '17

Hello, sorry for a maybe stupid question but I searched the Observium docs and FAQs and tried to search the mailing lists archive but latest was not available because the link to 'observium Archivs' on mailman's web interface leads to a 404. Is there an API to Observium and if is there a doc anywhere? Maybe I'm blind but I cannot find any related information if I inserted 'API' in the search field of the Obeservium docs. Google finds some pages that talk of " $config['api']['enabled'] = 1;" and/or query strings for an api.php - I do not even have an api.php in my observium installation. Some Observium values should be made available through a CRM and an API might be a smooth solution. Any tipps appreciated! Thanks, Uwe

Graph direct link changes when group membership changes
by Jesper Frank Nemholt 23 Feb '17

23 Feb '17

Hi! I'm using the direct link to graphs for a dashboard. Not sure this was the intended usage, but I found an issue that I think could be avoided related to this. It looks like graphs in this view are getting encoded IDs that somehow relate to the devices in the group, so the URL looks like this below. The issue is that when having lots of devices in a view, the id field gets really long and eventually will cause the graph creation to fail....however another and bigger issue is that it seems the id actually change when new devices are added (which happens during auto-discovery). Is there any way to fix the id to a numeric number like used with other graphs ? http://observium/graph.php?to=1487801959&id=WyIzMjE5MSIsIjMyNTE1IiwiMzMxNjM… /Jesper

When using device search (Devices->All Devices), then selecting hardware type (for example DES-1210-26/ME), we can find 8 devices from our network, that's ok. But we have updated the firmware version of this specific device, and when trying to do the same search in Observium, It can't find the device with updated firmware. And this happened with every device we upgraded. Quick search bar finds the device without any problems. Could this be related to the caching update? Thank you

Can't write new info to Observium
by Karolis Birgėla 22 Feb '17

22 Feb '17

Hello all, never happened to me before, but Obsevium acts strangely lately for me. When trying to add a new device via web, it sucessfully adds it, but it's page appears to be missing. It says something like 'You entered a device which does not exist' or something similar. What is more, when I want to manually change device's description on the web, it says 'Device record updated'. But the info that I've written has not appeared. What could have caused this? I don't remember doing any changes to my Observium server, except doing an update. Version 17.2.8364 (stable) Everything else works as it should. Thank you

ASR9k RAM Changes
by Robert Williams 22 Feb '17

22 Feb '17

Hi, Have there just been some changes to the ASR9k RAM detection? Suddenly after the overnight svn up we are seeing this for all 9k chassis: [cid:image001.png@01D28C23.56E5F220] These 3 new items are in alarm. The “reserved” and “image” are filtered from all other devices by existing config.php – but obviously no brackets on these ones. $config['ignore_mempool_string'][] = '(reserved)'; $config['ignore_mempool_string'][] = '(image)'; However, the ‘processor’ one is actually wrong as it seems to be using the CPU0 usage but a strange maximum of 3.81GB instead of 7.81GB. I can’t filter this out because it will drop all ‘processor’ types. I remember something historic relating to this where the maximums were showing as around 4GB even though there is 8GB installed and someone (Adam?) found and sorted it. This may or may not be related though. Cheers! Robert Williams Custodian Data Centre Email: Robert(a)CustodianDC.com http://www.CustodianDC.com

Alert regeneration via cli?
by Michael 22 Feb '17

22 Feb '17

Is there a way to regenerate the alerts from the cli? We have some checks that alert based on port state, dependent on conditions within a port description. But that matching is only performed during the alert regeneration, not during polling. So if the port description gets updated, the alert still triggers based on the old condition match... I'm thinking of running a regen via cron on a regular basis to try and minimise the false positives. Unless somebody has a better way to achieve a similar outcome? Thanks, Michael

Poller wrapper history graphs not updating

Hi! I have moved an instance from a physical server to a VM by moving over the database & RRD files + Observium $HOME. All works except one minor thing : The poller wrapper history (/pollerlog/ page) graphs do not update anymore. Also the RRD files do not update their timestamp since I moved the files to the new VM. The poller discovery/timing part of the same page does work properly, so it's only the top two graphs missing (or rather the graphs are there, but no new data is being added). Any idea why ? /Jesper

using hardware sensors
by Thoralf Freitag 20 Feb '17

20 Feb '17

Dear Observium community, is there any description of using hardware sensors? I've following issue. I'm operating a HP server with an Ilom under Ubuntu Linux. I configured in the device properties for ipmi: IPMI Hostname (IP address of the Ilom), IPMI Username (as configured at Ilom) IPMI Password, IPMI Userlevel (User) IPMI Interface (IPMI v2.0 RMCP+LAN Interface). Observium rekognized the sensors for temperature und fan speed. I did the same at an other HP server (same type) which is running ESXi 6.5 (HP customized Image). The Sensors are shown in the vSphre-Client and ESXi empeded host client UI. But for this host, Observium does not rekognize the sensors. How can this be explained ? Thanks. Lg. TF

Group with 500+ devices
by Karolis Birgėla 20 Feb '17

20 Feb '17

Hi, I have a problem with device classification to specific groups. We currently have 750 devices added in our network. Some users can only have access to specific devices, which led us to creating a group associated with them. The problem is, that more than 500 devices belong to the group, and when we attach this group to a user, it lags like hell. The main window of Observium loads slowly, and the search works very slow. I dont think that the server is incapable of proccesing this quickly It's a server with 80gb of ram, 24core cpu. By the way, admin accounts work perfectly . Is this a bug? Or something needs to be done in order? Let me know, thank you.

Ruckus Virtual SmartZone (vSZ) controller
by Philippe Laurent 18 Feb '17

18 Feb '17

It seems that either the Ruckus MIB changed, or my expectation of function is different than reality. We run the Ruckus Virtual SmartZone (vSZ) to control our AP's. At the moment, Observium provides just the local attributes (CPU, NIC, RAM, Disk) of the virtual machine, but it was my impression that I was supposed to get a much larger subset of data regarding AP's, configured WLANS, clients and traffic, etc. It appears in the MIB properties that the data should be available, but perhaps there's been a change of MIB from the Ruckus side (in which case I would also like to pay for getting that updated). Attached is a screenshot of the Device MIBs and SNMP errors as reported by Observium. If you require something else, please let me know. I am using the most recent software version for both vSZ and the APs (R600). Observium is updated from SVN daily(ish). If this requires more heavy lifting or outside of the scope, then please contact me offline for pricing and timeline, and I'll sponsor the additions. Philippe [image: Inline image 1]

Generate an BGP group with only like clue the interface description?
by Johann Mallet 17 Feb '17

17 Feb '17

Hello, We would like create alert on BGP sessions only on private peering. The only clue for detected these BGP sessions is the description on interface. But Observium seems don't can link session<->network ports. I don't find easy solution to match these sessions. Anybody have an idea? Observium seems to be able link one IP to network port. Is it possible for you add functionality to link BGP sessions (with their IP) to network port too? We could do a really great monitoring and see BGP sessions linked to the network port (on new tab?) :-) Johann

I’ve been getting the alerts perfectly fine! But the tabs are wrong? Attached shows the home page which shows I have an alerts FAIL, however when i go into the alerts page I have none? Also I haven’t been notified of a FAIL alert either? Caching bug maybe? Regards Simon

Custom OID and New Sensors
by Ing. Andrés Gallo 17 Feb '17

17 Feb '17

Hi there Just installed the Observium 17.2.8353 to monitor our network Great job! I need to handle a couple of issues: 1. Once I did Custom OID to monitor, How Can I set threshold or alarm limit to get an alert? For example, graphing fuel level, raise an alert on low value. 2. Some devices are recognized by the system-i.e. EATON SC Controller-, but sensors -voltage, current, power, etc.- are not. I can write a sensor.inc.php -same way as others into includes/discovery/sensors dir- but even with the debug option in command line, cant´t get it working. Any clue? Couldnt find the list archive ( mybe solved there, but....) link is broken Regards Andres.-

What is the procedure for moving observium to a new box? I know I’ve seen snippets of this in email before, but I am unable to track down a procedure. Also, are there any issues that would occur moving from Debian (currently wheezy) to Ubunut 16? Thanks, derek

Map marker icon size
by Ed Iwanski 16 Feb '17

16 Feb '17

We are adding quite a few locations to our install and after adding the first batch our front page map ends up with quite a bit of overlap while we have many more to add. It got me thinking if we could just make the individual markers smaller it would work better for us. Looking into the settings it seems there was an option for: $config['frontpage']['map']['dotsize'] = 10; Changing this seems to have no effect and a quick glance it does not seem to be used anymore Doing a little more digging in the code it looks like the html/includes/map/leaflet.inc.php has options defined to add the svg icons with static sizes with the following: var icons = { ok: L.icon({ iconUrl: 'images/svg/ok.svg', popupAnchor: [0, 16], iconSize: [24, 24] // size of the icon }), alert: L.icon({ iconUrl: 'images/svg/high_priority.svg', popupAnchor: [0, 12], iconSize: [32, 32] // size of the icon }), }; It seems just changing the values in iconSize: [X,Y] accomplishes what we would like to do to make the marker size a bit smaller and the maps to be more clear with many more sites added. Maybe 2 new example variables to allow a little further map customization? $config['frontpage']['map']['markeroksize'] = <value>; $config['frontpage']['map']['markeralertsize'] = <value>; Thanks, Ed

LDAP Debug Support
by Ryan DeShone 14 Feb '17

14 Feb '17

Can anyone point me in the right direction for debugging LDAP authentication? Running the most current stable release of the Professional edition currently on CentOS 7 (in our test environment). Upgraded PHP to 7.1, as the older PHP we had installed was not working, now I cannot log in. It just loops me back to the main page. I was also getting TLS negotiation errors (with a blank error message) though I seem to have solved that particular issue for now. I can't seem to figure out how to enable debug logging though so that I can find out what's going on...
