adding port to customer group?
by Kaiser, Erich 11 Nov '16

11 Nov '16

How and where do I go to add a port so it shows up in the customer group? Is it something that is done in the database or from backend scripts? Can I combine multiple graphs ? I have been trying to find tutorials on Observium with no luck. Erich Kaiser The Fusion Network erich(a)gotfusion.net Office: 630-621-4804

Quick filters within device ports view
by Daniel Willcocks 11 Nov '16

11 Nov '16

Hi, Has anyone else got problems when trying to select a quick filter within the Ports tab of a device? When clicking on one filter it seems to select all, hiding all ports. The reset does not release the applied filters, so need to remove part of the URL to get back to unfiltered view.

Hi running Observium 0.16.10.8181 (stable) and when you go into a device and click on "Health > Power" the ports are not being listed in order of ports 1,2,3,4,5. They are being ordered in a list like: 1,10,11,12,13.....,29,3,30 Can this be ordered correctly? See attachment thanks Rich

Small feature request
by Attila Nagy 09 Nov '16

09 Nov '16

Hi all! I ran into this small deficit a few times, but now I decided to report it, maybe it gets the attention of other fellow users and/or of developers. So the small thing that I miss sometimes from the GUI is the display of the IP address of a device. In my opinion this information should definitely be listed on the overview page, but optimally it should also appear in the tooltip that appears when hovering the mouse (let's say after the FQDN in square brackets). And given the fact that a device can have many IP addresses, I would say lets display the one that the devices FQDN resolves to (mostly this is that I am eager to know). Yes-yes, I know, DNS solves most of the problems, but sometimes it is just easier if you know the IP address. Any opinions? Regards, Tylla

Syslog Rules
by Kirk Sam (RXW) IT Network Engineer 08 Nov '16

08 Nov '16

Hi All, Has anyone used the syslog rules/alerts yet? I've tried setting up some simple rules to alert if there are particular messages in the syslog but haven't managed to get any to trigger. I've tried making the rules even simpler, for example setting the rule to /port/ (which occurs in the syslog often) and haven't had it trigger either. If I browse to the syslog and use the message search function it does return results. The syslog has been configured and in use for some time - one of my colleagues set it up and followed the syslog integration guide. Is there any further configuration needed for the syslog rules to enable them or something? Many thanks for your help. Regards, Sam

Re: [Observium] CheckPoint alert creation problem

I do a normal alert like our other looks like: Device: hostname match *cpfw01* Entity match: sensor_class equals fanspeed Test condition: sensor_value greater 3000 With this settings if i push a Rebuild, it shows 0 entities. How can i check what is wrong? I tried to change the fanspeed to temperature, but the problem is similar, 0 entities after rebuild. I attached a picture about the graphs of the device. Hmm... if i run a „rebuild” there are see lot of devices but there is no any „FW” devices however we have more whit this FW prefix. May be this is the problem?

Force disable 'Neighbours discovery: LLDP-MIB', ['xdp'] = FLASE; not working
by Andy Lemin 07 Nov '16

07 Nov '16

Hi, How can we _Force_ the disablement of discovering hosts via LLDP/XDP? Normally when running poller.php, with '$config['autodiscovery']['xdp'] = FLASE;' set in config.php, everything is fine. However when running '/opt/observium/discovery.php', it finds a switch, and we have LLDP enabled on our servers and switches for other processes related to the management of servers. However this means that Observium takes over an hour to discover a single Virtual Cassis which has 192 ports, with over 100 active servers (all showing up in the LLDP on the switch). Obviously this is a waste of time, and unnecessarily stressful for the servers being scanned and the Observium server. Why is discovery.php not honouring '$config['autodiscovery']['xdp'] = FLASE;' as set in config.php? Cheers, Andy.

Device Properties - Ports - Toggle Not Working
by Iwanski, Ed 06 Nov '16

06 Nov '16

I tried looking for mailing list archives but didn't find them online, please let me know where to look if I am mistaken. We are on Observium Professional 0.16.10.8181, stable svn update rev 8201 shown so looks up to date. We are having problems using the toggle or disable for an entire column on the device properties port page. I thought it might be a browser issue but I have tried Chrome, Firefox and IE from different computers with no luck. Currently the button just behaves like the save button and submits the form instead of changing the status on the existing page. Any thoughts on what else I could check would be appreciated.

Device Down false positive
by Sebastian Klute 03 Nov '16

03 Nov '16

Hi Tom, well it cannot really be that the device is marked as down by alert. Test conditions are as follows: device_status_type ping device_status equals 0 If I understand it correctly, even if snmp is not reachable the device should NOT be marked as down, because it is pingable. Therefore I do not understand why it is still marked as down.

No, let's not stand on the hamster, put the PNG could be a lot smaller. Using observium on a site with a slow line, during the login, the hamster takes longer to load than needed. When I throw the PNG into https://tinypng.com/ It shrinks from 359KB -> 67KB. Seems worthwile. Maybe some other PNG's can be shrunken aswell? Greetings, Marc

Device Down False positive and snmpget
by Sebastian Klute 03 Nov '16

03 Nov '16

Hello folks, today I got kinda strange problem. I got a Server up and running fine but it is still shown as device down. "Device status changed to Down (ping)" After some debugging and digging into the workflow of polling and checking egc. I tried to redo the different checks that could lead to a device down. First of all: Is it pingable ? root@om:/tmp# /usr/bin/fping -t1000 -t 500 -c 20 -q 84.200.41.226 84.2xx.xxx.xxx : xmt/rcv/%loss = 20/20/0%, min/avg/max = 0.20/0.30/0.43 seems good to me - no idea why it should be down by ping. Is the hostname resolvable? Yes it is. Standart ping with hostname is working fine. So I'll dig further into debug logs and found this CMD[/usr/bin/snmpget -v2c -c *** -Pu -OQUst -m SNMPv2-MIB -M /opt/observium/mibs/rfc:/opt/observium/mibs/net-snmp 'udp':'hostname.example':'161' sysObjectID.0 sysUpTime.0] CMD EXITCODE[1] CMD RUNTIME[6.0283s] STDOUT[ ] STDERR[ Timeout: No Response from udp:hostname.example:161. ] SNMP STATUS[FALSE] I wondered why and did it manualy. The error is as followed: Too many object identifiers specified. Only 128 allowed in one request. The question is now, what can I do to solve this issue? What about the false positive device down by ping alert?

Good day everyone! We are no longer seeing anything via the webui. I suspect it is due to a loss of network connectivity over the weekend. Seeing the following in the db.log now: Failed dbQuery (#2006 - MySQL server has gone away) Initial investigation seems to suggest that the client has become disconnected from the mariadb server (they are the same system) and so I'm wondering if there is an easy recovery method. Restarting services has not worked and the server has been rebooted. Still no change. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Disable alert reminders being sent
by Oliver Baker 26 Oct '16

26 Oct '16

Hi there, I'd like to set up Observium's alerts so that we only receive 1 alert email, and no more are sent even if the alert condition persists. I've set the following in config.php but I am not sure if it will give the desired effect: $config['alerts']['interval'] = 0; Is this the correct way to achieve this? Are there any further steps that need to be taken? Many thanks Oliver Baker

change to html/includes/authenticate.inc.php broke apache's AuthBasicFake . [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]
by Peter.Hine＠familycourt.gov.au 26 Oct '16

26 Oct '16

Adam, First up, this happened a long time ago. It's just taken till now to find why it broke (cause i have free time, i'm testing 0.16.9.8118 and found the error again) The problem lies in line 200 of html/includes/authenticate.inc.php (v0.16.9.8118) if (!$_SESSION['authenticated'] && (authenticate($_SESSION['username'], $auth_password) || // login/password in older versions, "$auth_password" was "$_SESSION['password']". by replacing "$auth_password" with "$_SESSION['password']"., AuthBasicFake works again. I can't see where "$auth_password" is initialized but it's not my code so i'll not assume too much more than that. thanks Peter Hine Senior Technical Support Engineer (Servers) Corporate Services | Federal Court of Australia ********************************************************************** The information contained in this e-mail (including any attachments) is for the exclusive use of the addressee.

Potential RRD Cache bug with Unix Agent / Applications
by Andy Lemin 25 Oct '16

25 Oct '16

Hi, Not sure if this is a bug, or a cannot fix, but; If rrdcached is running and "$config['rrdcached'] = "unix:/var/run/rrdcached.sock" is configured in config.php, the graphs for the Unix Agent do not work. I can understand why Smokeping does not work if it does not know how to read and write from the unix socket (so we created a link to SmokePing in the Globe menu). But I cannot think why the Observium UNIX Agent does not work, as that is a part of Observium, and the rest of observium works with rrdcached. I can only guess that the UNIX Agent poller is not writing to the UNIX socket and is still trying to write to /opt/observium/rrd/, however when I disable RRDCache and remove the rrdcached line from config.php, all the old data appears. This makes me think that the UNIX Agent poller is writting to the socket correctly, and it is just Observium itself that is failing to revert to reading from the UNIX socket for Applications etc. Cheers, Andy.

Update Issue
by Josh Hopper 25 Oct '16

25 Oct '16

Hello, I updated my Ubuntu VM from version 14.04 to 16.04 (LTS). After doing so PHP was not working as Observium's GUI wouldn't load. I updated PHP and PHP MYSQLI accordingly. I'm on v7 now. I was able to get to the login screen and login, however, after, I get a blank window. [image: Inline image 1] Code behind it looks odd. <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <base href="http://svr-observium.noc.dynamicinfastructure.com/" /> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1" />  <link href="css/observium.css <http://svr-observium.noc.dynamicinfastructure.com/css/observium.css>" rel=" stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <link href="css/jquery.qtip.min.css <http://svr-observium.noc.dynamicinfastructure.com/css/jquery.qtip.min.css>" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <link href="css/svg_png.css <http://svr-observium.noc.dynamicinfastructure.com/css/svg_png.css>" rel=" stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <link href="css/flags.css <http://svr-observium.noc.dynamicinfastructure.com/css/flags.css>" rel=" stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <link href="css/c3.min.css <http://svr-observium.noc.dynamicinfastructure.com/css/c3.min.css>" rel=" stylesheet" type="text/css" />   <script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.min.js <http://svr-observium.noc.dynamicinfastructure.com/js/jquery.min.js>"> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="js/bootstrap.min.js <http://svr-observium.noc.dynamicinfastructure.com/js/bootstrap.min.js>"> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="js/observium.js <http://svr-observium.noc.dynamicinfastructure.com/js/observium.js>"> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="js/d3.min.js <http://svr-observium.noc.dynamicinfastructure.com/js/d3.min.js>"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="js/c3.min.js <http://svr-observium.noc.dynamicinfastructure.com/js/c3.min.js>"></script>   <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="300" /> <title>Observium</title> <link rel="shortcut icon" href="images/observium-icon.png <http://svr-observium.noc.dynamicinfastructure.com/images/observium-icon.png>" /> Like, where is the rest? :) It seems Observium is still running as I can run a discovery and poller from the command line and it runs fine.

running observium on freebsd
by Simon Smith 23 Oct '16

23 Oct '16

Hi All, this is a random question, has anyone got observium running correctly on freebsd? managed to get it all setup and running, panels fine, add devices fine, poll device manually, etc only issue I’m having is i can’t get the cronjob working for every 5mins? i can see from the cron log in /var/log its running the poller correctly Oct 18 04:05:00 observium /usr/sbin/cron[49554]: (root) CMD (/opt/observium/poller-wrapper.py 2 >> /dev/null) Oct 18 04:10:00 observium /usr/sbin/cron[50385]: (root) CMD (/usr/libexec/atrun) Oct 18 04:10:00 observium /usr/sbin/cron[50387]: (root) CMD (/opt/observium/poller-wrapper.py 2 >> /dev/null) Oct 18 04:15:00 observium /usr/sbin/cron[51227]: (root) CMD (/usr/libexec/atrun) Oct 18 04:15:00 observium /usr/sbin/cron[51228]: (root) CMD (/opt/observium/poller-wrapper.py 2 >> /dev/null) Oct 18 04:20:00 observium /usr/sbin/cron[52076]: (root) CMD (/usr/libexec/atrun) Oct 18 04:20:00 observium /usr/sbin/cron[52079]: (root) CMD (/opt/observium/poller-wrapper.py 2 >> /dev/null) Oct 18 04:25:00 observium /usr/sbin/cron[52917]: (root) CMD (/usr/libexec/atrun) Oct 18 04:25:00 observium /usr/sbin/cron[52918]: (root) CMD (/opt/observium/poller-wrapper.py 2 >> /dev/null) Oct 18 04:30:00 observium /usr/sbin/cron[53752]: (root) CMD (/usr/libexec/atrun) Oct 18 04:30:00 observium /usr/sbin/cron[53753]: (root) CMD (/opt/observium/poller-wrapper.py 2 >> /dev/null) however no data gets inserted into the db, but if i run the command manually as root, it inserts stuff fine? the only thing i can think of is the php is running apache which then runs as www not root would this have an issue maybe? regards Simon

quering raid status on adaptec, lsi, 3w cli
by Sebastian Klute 22 Oct '16

22 Oct '16

Is there a way to get the current raid status of the common controllers? We are using several LSI 9xxxx series some adaptec 6405 8405 and from time to time 3ware controllers. I've noticed that there is a discovery module for raid but if enabled nothing happens. Looking into some codes even through the unix agent there is only cfggen but no support for megacli like stuff. Any workarounds? Other methods to get the status?

Hi, Thanks for that, I’ve selected one host and disabled the MIB here (only): I have left the Sensors module (and all others) enabled and then re-run the discovery – output attached.
