PowerDNS Recursive Server application
by Kevin Riahi 17 Jan '24

17 Jan '24

What is the process for support on applications for observium subscribers? In this case the PowerDNS Recursive Server application. Should we reach out to the original author. In this case the script is very simple and it seems it has no documented authors. The issue is the script is no longer working even though it was in the past. It may be because PowerDNS Recursive Server 4.8 has made permission changes to /var/run/pdns-recursor/pdns_recursor.controlsocket Testing the script /usr/lib/observium_agent/local/powerdns-recursor and it will execute with below error. <<<app-powerdns-recursor>>> Fatal: Unable to connect to remote '/var/run/pdns-recursor/pdns_recursor.controlsocket': Permission denied Here is the powerdns-recursor script . #!/bin/sh recctrl=`which rec_control` if [ $? -eq 0 ] then echo '<<<app-powerdns-recursor>>>' $recctrl get-all fi TIA Kevin

RRD went missing after interface description change, screwing up billing.
by smiller＠fasttrackcomm.net 16 Jan '24

16 Jan '24

Hey there, I have a bundle ether interface that had its interface description change, and now when I'm viewing the bill summary which keys to this bundle ether interface, the graphs are missing, and if I hover over the port under "billed ports" in the bill information section, I get 4 of the same error: ERROR: opening '/opt/observium/rrd/<<IP>>/port-113.rrd': No such file or directory. I go into the server and sure enough there is no port-113.rrd in that directory. Also, the port description name under the billed ports section shows the old interface description still. I have another bundle ether that also had an updated interface description and that one is fine, and the port description is updated correctly on the billing page. How do I fix this? It seems like maybe data is still getting successfully pulled because the Used counts are increasing along with the average. What would happen if I created an empty port-113.rrd file in the directory, and why would this file have gone missing? Thanks for any help you can provide. -Seth

Hi, I have ZyXEL WLAN AP NWA1123ACv3 they are spoiling my system by creating new ports, with repeating names, every view hours. I have some APs with nearly 2000 Ports. Is there a way to prevent Observium from scanning for new ports for a specific device group. Kind Regards Mit freundlichen Grüßen Andreas Oberreiter

SNMP sysLocation NeDi format
by Brad Bendy 07 Jan '24

07 Jan '24

I found a post from 2014 showing the NeDi format works when using the Google API. I have tried a few different variations of it but under the location it shows a location for each device as the rack unit is different per device. Is this not supported and we should just do the physical location and not deal with the rack and rack unit or I am missing something? I thought before I had used () or [] in the location and the map parsing still worked but I don't see that in the docs anywhere. Thanks

PHP Weathermap Integration
by Adam Armstrong 03 Jan '24

03 Jan '24

Hi Guys, We added PHP Weathermap into Observium ~2 years ago, but the enabling option wasn't documented because there was an odd javascript bug breaking the UI. It turns out the bug was the same variable name being used in two completely separate bits of code, causing a clash. Typical Javascript. This is fixed now and it mostly functions, so I've unhidden the enabling option in the web-based config. $config['weathermap']['enable'] = TRUE; It works slightly differently to the original weathermap, it generates maps on the fly and is a little better integrated into the UI. It retains all of the old issues though, the weathermap code is very, very old and should not be enabled on installs untrusted people have access to. Thanks, adam. -- Sent from Postbox <https://www.postbox-inc.com/?utm_source=email&utm_medium=siglink&utm_campai…>

xinetd not supported on RHEL 9, use systemd instead
by Tony Guadagno 29 Dec '23

29 Dec '23

Hi, as xinetd is not provided for RHEL 9, I wrote a couple of systemd units to make this work. I am sure someone smarter than me could make this better, but I have confirmed this does work on any modern systemd implementation. Would it be possible to get this in the documentation so the knowledge is not lost?

Traffic accounting not working anymore
by Anthony Polselli 13 Dec '23

13 Dec '23

We recently built a new server with Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS and migrated Observium over. Everything seams to be working fine except for the Traffic Accounting. On the summary screen, it shows data from months ago (just before the upgrade), but when you click on one of the "bills" and look at the bandwidth graph, it's blank. I've tried adding a new bill and it same thing, no data. But if I click on the interface and go the that switch port, all the graphs are there. How can I reconnect the Traffic Accounting to pull data from the switchport graphs again? Thanks all!

is there an alert kill switch?
by Tony Guadagno 28 Nov '23

Hi, when my Microsoft servers patch monthly, they often reboot and that causes an alert that is unnecessary for me. Is there a way (maybe a script I could write) that would disable alerting? I am thinking about making a cron job that would run monthly (at the time I am patching) that would disable alerting...then maybe 2 hrs later, re-enable alerting. Is this possible?

Security Questions
by Wilkinson, Matthew 27 Nov '23

27 Nov '23

Hello, I am deploying Observium into a secured environment and I've a few questions. * What security measures are in place to protect subscription SVN branch? * Does SVN do any checksums or hashing of the code after it is checkout to the client to ensure no malicious attempts were made in transit? * Is there a contact name and email we can document in cases where we need to get direct support? * Is there a regular notification mechanism for updates to Observium? E.g. via the mailing list or blog post? In other words, how do we find out about new security patches? Thanks for any and all help. Matt

WMI Polling shows only 3 services
by Scott Kohnert 15 Nov '23

15 Nov '23

First time posting and hopes that someone can assist. Been using Subscription version of Observium for over 10 years collecting data on over 150 server farm using it daily and have been asked to now add monitoring of Windows Services. I started to do this via Probes and SNMP checks but due to the shear volume of services and servers involved this would be a tedious process. I would like to use WMI to monitor Windows Services as it appears to poll faster. Unfortunately I ran into an issue where it only displays 3 services at a time. Windows Server has over 200 services by default, I don’t plan on monitoring all of them but at least a couple dozen. Using WMI would be a much easier way to setup alerts if I could get the full listing to appear, which is where I am needing help. Here is my setup to reproduce the issue (generalized information used for security) Follow the WMI setup in the help documentation for my UB 22.04 server Global Settings > Polling > WMI (turn on) Server discovered via SNMP Open Properties of Server and edit WMI information (per server polling only no global settings) WMI Hostname = nacn_ip_TCP:hostname.domain.local[sign] WMI Domain= domain WMI Username = username WMI Password = password After a couple of minutes, I get the results of only showing 3 services not a full list. AllJoyn Router Service Remote Desktop Service Themes I have tried this on multiple servers and the same 3 services appear each time. I began to look into the code and run the wmic query on the web server itself using the following query wmic -U “domain\username%password” //ncacn_ip_TCP:hostname.domain.local[sign] “select DisplayName, Name, State, Status from Win32_Service” It gave me the full listing results and from what I can see this is where the issue lies. CLASS: Win32_Service DisplayName|Name|State|Status AllJoyn Router Service|AJRouter|Stopped|OK Application Layer Gateway Service|ALG|Stopped|OK Application Identity|AppIDSvc|Stopped|OK … Telephony|tapisrv|Stopped|OK CLASS: Win32_TerminalService DisplayName|Name|State|Status Remote Desktop Services|TermService|Running|OK CLASS: Win32_Service DisplayName|Name|State|Status Themes|Themes|Running|OK Storage Tiers Management|TieringEngineService|Stopped|OK … The first item of the WMI services is the AllJoyn Router Service, then about halfway down the listing it produces a different CLASS:Win32_TerminalService and the headers. Then it has Remote Desktop Services and starts again with CLASS:Win32_Service and headers again, and the third entry to be displayed Themes. Looking through the code I think the issue resides in the /opt/observium/includes/wmi.inc.php code and the function wmi_parse. This is the function that is used (from what I can back trace) for performing the parsing of the WMI call and populating the database with the WMI entries. But when running the mysql query for the services listing it only shows these 3 listed and not all the services that the manual query performed on the server displays. I would like to ask if someone can look into the WMI process and check the coding to allow the WMIC query to populate ALL the service results in the web site. As a separate test I also went into the Global Settings > Discovery > WMI AutoDiscoveryOptions and added in several services manually (list of 10) not including the Remote Desktop Services and the results I get on the Windows Services tab show the Remote Desktop Services. So the 2nd CLASS that appears for this service appears to be causing the issue. Any help is appreacited.

Questions about Observium Enterprise Support
by Johan Carlander 31 Oct '23

31 Oct '23

Hi, I’ve been trying to find more detailed info about Observium Enterprise Support, does anyone here has such an agreement and can share the details? All I can find on the web page says: “Included Enterprise-grade email & live support: Yes, 10 hours” So I take it that means that up to 10 hours of live support is included, what will be the cost per hour for support after those 10 hours? I cannot find any definition of what live support is, I would guess that it means some sort of online meeting with screen sharing but it would good to have it in writing so we know what to expect. Is there any SLA for response time for new support tickets, for example within 4 hours or Next Business day? Thanks in advance.

EqualLogics Volume Monitoring
by cwager＠communicationsmuseum.org.uk 31 Oct '23

31 Oct '23

Good Afternoon, I have been setting up Observium, which I am relatively new to, and am not sure how to monitor the volumes of the EqualLogic Storage Array, Observium has detected it and provided sensors for the Physical Disk, fan, Controllers, and so on but no volumes are picked up. According to the following link, there are MIBs for this. https://mibs.observium.org/mib/EQLVOLUME-MIB/ If I SNMPWALK the OID's then I get the expected data, would it be possible for someone to advise how I may go about getting this data to be shown in Observium itself? Thanks Chris

by rhett.zeeman＠ttconnect.co.za 26 Oct '23

Hi Team, we are trying to monitor the above device. This works well. Observium can even monitor the GPON PON interfaces eg: gpon-olt1/1. The problem we are having is trying the monitor the ONU devices on site at a client. We use Raisecom ONU's. There are currently mib files available but we noticed that the mib files are empty. So it would seem that Observium cant monitor the bandwidth of the onu's behind the splitter that is connected to the pon interface. Is this something we can manually do from our side? if we have a look at the mib files in /opt/observium/mib/raisecom and vi into the mib file, it is populated.

Teams webhook debugging
by Ivo van Tulden 17 Oct '23

17 Oct '23

Dear members, After the great help with the dashboard I went of to the next part in automating, which is for us alerting through Teams. Hopefully you can help me as quickly with this as the last time. We want to use Teams Webhook function to create an alert message, which holds a couple of components. I have configured the webhook within MS Teams and setup the link with the Observium contacts. Created a alert which triggers and mentions the notification of contacts, but nothing happens within MS Teams. The problem can be with a couple of things, so I wanted to start with logging with Observium. This can probably show me if the firewall blocks, if the Webhook link was a bad URL, etc. Where can I find a debugging log of the notification actions, so I can start debugging?

Fwd: Juniper MX104 doesn't like load average graph
by David Beveridge 16 Oct '23

16 Oct '23

Last week I upgraded a server to Observium 23.10.13043 (stable) In Polling information I had a huge increase in system polling, (See attached images.) I backed out the upgrade and tried it again a few days later, when I had more time to investigate. In addition the processor graph had changed, showing much higher CPU usage I also noticed a new graph called Load Averages defined here... # svn blame /opt/observium/includes/definitions/mibs/juniper.inc.php 13020 adama // JUNIPER-MIB::jnxOperatingDescr.9.1.0.0 = STRING: Routing Engine 0 13020 adama // JUNIPER-MIB::jnxOperatingDescr.9.2.0.0 = STRING: Routing Engine 1 13020 adama // JUNIPER-MIB::jnxOperatingState.9.1.0.0 = INTEGER: running(2) 13020 adama // JUNIPER-MIB::jnxOperatingState.9.2.0.0 = INTEGER: standby(7) 13020 adama // JUNIPER-MIB::jnxOperating1MinLoadAvg.9.1.0.0 = Gauge32: 123 13020 adama // JUNIPER-MIB::jnxOperating1MinLoadAvg.9.2.0.0 = Gauge32: 8 13020 adama // JUNIPER-MIB::jnxOperating5MinLoadAvg.9.1.0.0 = Gauge32: 56 13020 adama // JUNIPER-MIB::jnxOperating5MinLoadAvg.9.2.0.0 = Gauge32: 5 13020 adama // JUNIPER-MIB::jnxOperating15MinLoadAvg.9.1.0.0 = Gauge32: 27 13020 adama // JUNIPER-MIB::jnxOperating15MinLoadAvg.9.2.0.0 = Gauge32: 0 13020 adama $config['mibs'][$mib]['la'] = [ 13020 adama 'type' => 'table', // In table mode get first entry with test condition 13020 adama 'scale' => 0.01, 13020 adama // Walks 13020 adama 'oid_extra' => 'jnxOperatingState.9', 13020 adama 'oid_1min' => 'jnxOperating1MinLoadAvg.9', 13020 adama 'oid_5min' => 'jnxOperating5MinLoadAvg.9', 13020 adama 'oid_15min' => 'jnxOperating15MinLoadAvg.9', 13020 adama 'test' => [ 'field' => 'jnxOperatingState', 'operator' => 'eq', 'value' => 'running' ], 13020 adama ]; 13020 adama I added unset($config['mibs'][$mib]['la']); // dave did this This has fixed the problem, I don't need the la graph anyway. I had tried to add this to confg.php, but that didn't work. I'm concerned that modifying the juniper.inc.php is not a good idea. Is there a better way to disable this?

Obtaining good thresholds for monitoring SFP light levels
by Corwin Ziegler Hunts 11 Oct '23

11 Oct '23

We would like to alert if an SFP's received light level is too low. The light level sensor data is present and linked with a specific port so we can adjust the alert checkers based on attributes of the linked port. What we haven't figured out how to do is get appropriate thresholds for alerting for each SFP. The SFPs define warning and alarm thresholds which are readable on the devices containing the SFPs but that data doesn't make it into Observium for most of our monitored devices as far as we can tell. Similar SFPs usually have similar thresholds so grouping by SFP vendor and part number then creating a check for each set of SFPs with manually extracted and entered thresholds could be acceptable. Observium does show the SFP vendor and part number on the device overview and inventory pages along with which port contains the SFP but there doesn't seem to be a way to reference this data when creating port or sensor groups or alert checkers. There are also the automatically generated or manually set thresholds for sensors inside Observium itself. The automatically generated thresholds are often missing and we are not aware of a way to ensure they are present or reasonable. Manually set thresholds could work if there was a way to set and audit those thresholds in an automated fashion. We don't see a way to use the API to do this though (we're using the subscription edition). Are there recommendations on how to achieve this? Is this a solved problem and we're running into a bug? This is feeling more difficult than it should be. Corwin

device_rebooted metric is now NULL instead of 1
by Corwin Ziegler Hunts 10 Oct '23

10 Oct '23

We have an alert checker using the device_rebooted metric to monitor for reboots. The metric used to read as 1 when a reboot was detected as is documented <https://docs.observium.org/entities/#device>. After updating to the latest stable revision (r13020) from r12520 the metric now reads as NULL immediately after a reboot. Is this change in behavior intended? Corwin

Hi, we have observium installed and working fine (polling 629 devices). It is currently installed on a physical server. How advisable is it to promote it to a virtual server? -- Saluda cordialmente

CustomOID Draw Error
by amat＠tvfactory.ch 05 Oct '23

Good Morning, We're having trouble with observium and "Custom OID" SNMP retrieval. The Huawei (S6730 V200R019C00SPC500) monitors portspeed and other. However, we are trying to get some Custom OID for hwAvgDuty5min refelecting the Average 5 Min CPU usage. (A) SNMP Walk On the same machine that Observium is installed the snmpwalk returns a value that makes sense administrator@m01:/opt/observium/html/weathermap/configs$ snmpwalk -v2c -c community-hidden 151.252.33.12 1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.6.3.4.1.4 SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2011.6.3.4.1.4.0.0.0 = INTEGER: 9 (B) Observium - Configure Custom OID Numeric OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.6.3.4.1.4 we also tried Numeric OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.6.3.4.1.4.0.0.0 Text OID hwAvgDuty5min Value Type GAUGE Description Average CPU Usage Display Unit cpu-usage Display Symbol % Kibibyte (1024) no Log Y Axis no Audo-discovery Yes Unfortunately it does return a "Draw Error". If we do open the CustomOID Graph we see Error: Openeing '': No such file or directory. Any idea what goes wrong here? Kind Regards Ramon Amat

Hello, does anyone know if observium can retrieve BGP peering info via SNMP with RouterOS 7.10+? It is now supported on Mikrotiks side, I am able to see the info via snmpwalk with OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.15.3.1 [cid:image003.png@01D9F6A7.A13EF790] [cid:image002.png@01D9F6A7.3CD825B0] Ryan Bergen Network Lead HyLife Ltd 5 Fabas Street, Box 100 La Broquerie, MB R0A 0W0 p 204-424-2300 x472 hylife.com<https://hylife.com/> • Ryan.Bergen(a)Hylife.com<mailto:Ryan.Bergen@Hylife.com> [cid3813500305*image001.png(a)01D93182.760726F0]

Hi Adam, Did you manage to implement this ‘math parser’ feature for custom oid’s?

Devices with multiple IP addresses
by Sanjeev Gupta 01 Oct '23

01 Oct '23

Hi, Thanks Adam, I am back to using Observium after many years (was on the Subscription, now on Community).. I have a question on a router (and some similar devices). The router has two interfaces, both visible from the Observium poller. It has been discovered twice, and appears twice as well on the map. I cannot find a script, or anything in the UI (which I am still exploring) or the FAQ. What should I be looking for? -- Sanjeev Gupta +65 98551208 http://sg.linkedin.com/in/ghane
