Port Alerts
by Peter Smith 23 Sep '16

23 Sep '16

Hi, I am not sure if this is the correct place to ask this question but I am interested in setting up alerts for key ports only. I have setup the example which shows Enabled ports which are currently down: Tests ifAdminStatus equals up ifOperStatus notequals up Entity Match ifType equals ethernetCsmacd However I cannot work out how to refine it further - such as trunk ports only or if the port description contains a string, such as "CORE". We would like to know when key ports go down only. I have tried adding: ifAlias equals *CORE* and similar configuration but I expect I have the syntax incorrect. The idea would be to alert on either ports containing a certain word in their description or on tagged/trunk ports. I also tried to find a location to search the old emails from this mailing list but have been unable to find it. Many thanks, Peter

22 Sep '16

Hello I have a Nexus switch (hostname is sw01) with lot of FEX. I would like to check only one FEX (fex name is Fex-120) Die-1 temperature value. I go to Devices > Network and select „sw01” device, select Health > Temperature and there i see every FEX sensors. [cid:image001.png@01D214BB.99AFC980] So i would like to create a check for Fex-120 Die-1 if over 45C i would like to get an alert. I tried to create alert check but i am not able to set up correctly. This check get all of FEX temperatures: Device Match: hostname match sw01 Entity Match: sensor_class equals temperature Check Conditions: sensor_value greater 45 What i have to modofiy to get only the requested FEX’s Die-1 temperature? Thanks Laszlo

Alert ifInOctets_perc doesn't match port ifInOctets_perc?
by Mailing Lists 15 Sep '16

15 Sep '16

Had a couple of utilisation alerts come through today reporting a 10Gig port as over 80% utilisation, when in reality it doesnt appear to be that busy?. The alert email shows this graph, showing over 100% utilisation and a solid 80+% most of the day: [image: Inline images 1] When you click through the embedded link to the 'real' graph in Observium itself, it reports the correct utilisation figures I would epxect to see based on the traffic graph: [image: Inline images 2] Traffic graph for the port: [image: Inline images 3] Are the alerts reading the information from a different rrd? Doesn't seem like it as the port would be alarming constantly based on the graph in the email as it shows over 80% for most of the day? Happy to accept that the port may have spiked to 8Gbps, but I would have thought this would have been reflected in the graphs somewhere but if anything traffic was tailing off? Is there possibly an issue with the alerting on ifInOctets_perc or do I need to be looking more closely at what the device is reporting, which on face value _seems_ OK looking at a debug of poller.php? Thanks, Tim C

I/O Latency Metric Alert?
by Robert Williams 07 Sep '16

07 Sep '16

Hi, Is there an attachment point for alerts to be triggered from the metric of I/O Latency? Reason for asking is that I could do with an alert checker which would have spotted this issue (the scale is in seconds!): It went unnoticed overnight until it crippled a virtual host when users started accessing VMs on it this morning. The underlying fault was a RAID card issue, but nothing else detected it and I've just found that Observium 'knew' about it, but we have not alerts which would have caught this. Any ideas? Cheers!

APC NetBotz. Support for 'Dry contact inputs'....?
by Henrik Cednert (Filmlance) 01 Sep '16

01 Sep '16

Hello Not sure if this is the proper channel for feature requests. But it would be awesome to have support for the ‘Dry contact inputs’ on the APC NetBotz devices. Still not sure how to do a proper likeable snmpwalk so someone will probably shake their head and wave their fist in fury over this one. But hey, at least I tired. =) Snmpwalk output: http://pastebin.com/qcV8vX98 That one have 4 connected ‘dry contact inputs’ and you can see their name under for instance ‘emsProbeConfigProbeName.<n>’, ‘emsProbeStatusProbeName.<n>’ and ‘emsInputContactConfigInputContactName.<n>’ and then some... Also normal state and current state are represented in that walk. This particular netbotz is in charge of switching to secondary cooling circuit and firing those pumps up in case of failure on main circuit. So would be really nice to have that monitored in Observium. =) Cheers and thanks Ps. If my snmpwalk sucks, tell me once and for all how to do it and how it is supposed to look. =) -- Henrik Cednert cto | compositor Filmlance International | www.filmlance.se mobile [ + 46 (0)704 71 89 54 ] skype [ cednert ]

Not seeing unix system graphs
by Glenn Cooper 31 Aug '16

31 Aug '16

I’ve got a CentOS 6.7 VM (that runs my Observium instance, currently at version 8068-stable) that I’m trying to monitor with the unix agent described here: http://www.observium.org/docs/unix_agent/ Installation of the agent went fine, as did the telnet testing from the host itself. I got a bunch of data via telnet. Also, SNMP has already been configured on the server and it’s polling itself properly (as far as I can tell) From my Observium web page, I see the system and can some details for it. The Overview shows me high level system info (kernel version, hostname, Location, uptime, etc) and the Event Log. Graphs only show Agent Execution Time, Ping Response, SNMP Response, and Poller Duration. From looking at the live demo on the Observium website, I’m assuming I should be seeing a bunch of additional data (processors, memory, netstat data, load averages, etc, etc, etc). I’ve taken a look at the device configuration settings and can’t see anything that I’m missing. Any ideas for what to look at next will be much appreciated. Thanks, Glenn Cooper

bind_cache failing to write via RRDCached
by Robert Williams 31 Aug '16

31 Aug '16

Hi, Having a good time today…! Got another oddity since the upgrade of the Observium server itself to 16.04 unfortunately :( In summary, all servers running BIND (they are still on 14.04) have now got zero ‘cache content’ stats since the Observium server was upgraded on Tuesday. However, all the other BIND stats are working OK: [cid:image001.jpg@01D1D944.38CA7190] Looking at the debug output, it is getting the data fine, and it’s writing out the values to RRDCacheD OK. I tried disabling RRDCacheD – it started working straight away. So, it looks like RRDCacheD (version 1.5.5 under 16.04) is unhappy with writing the ‘Cache’ elements content output for BIND. If I had to guess, I’d say it’s either: 1) something to do with the quantity of DS elements within that RRD (all 42 of them) 2) something relating to the use of an “!” in the name of the elements (that’s a proper random guess) The write attempt is: mupdate /opt/observium/rrd/x.y.net/app-bind-23-cache-default.rrd N:6:3:::392500:799:13060:27296:825744:29:17815:555:67263:160:8::9660:2238:49:382:23:14:::::::259181:22:2::45094::26347::::::6715::::::: My old RRDCacheD config was: DISABLE=0 OPTS="-w 1800 -z 1800 -f 3600 -s www-data -l unix:/var/run/rrdcached.sock -j /var/lib/rrdcached/journal/ -F -b /opt/observium/rrd -B" MAXWAIT=30 ENABLE_COREFILES=0 The new config has different parameters, so I’ve setup as follows: DAEMON=/usr/bin/rrdcached WRITE_TIMEOUT=1800 WRITE_JITTER=1800 BASE_PATH=/opt/observium/rrd/ JOURNAL_PATH=/var/lib/rrdcached/journal/ PIDFILE=/var/run/rrdcached.pid SOCKFILE=/var/run/rrdcached.sock SOCKGROUP=www-data BASE_OPTIONS="-F -B" Does anyone know of anything which could cause this? Or a magic value in RRDCacheD like “maximum number of DS elements”…? Cheers, Robert Williams Custodian Data Centre Email: Robert(a)CustodianDC.com http://www.CustodianDC.com

RANCID tab gone after update to 8068
by Robbie Wright 31 Aug '16

31 Aug '16

As the title says, upgraded via svn to 8068 and the config tab is gone. Integration to smokeping still works, as well as the user agents and everything else, but no rancid. Rancid setup is still in the config file too. Anyone else seen it disappear after any update? On a side note, svn is reporting at revision 8069 while the gui is reporting 8068.

Ldap issues with edit users
by Dano, Leo 31 Aug '16

31 Aug '16

Hi All, If anyone is using the ldap piece, I need your assistance. When you navigate to users --> edit users, it says no users in database, then any navigation to any other link, it brings you to the login screen. Most of the time, it will never load the edit users page and you can no longer navigate anything. Closing the tab out on the browser doesn't help either. Observium becomes unresponsive. Very rarely, it will actually show the users. It seems like something is clearing some cache in the background. Anyone experiencing these issues with ldap? Thanks, ----------------------- Leo Dano

Email Alerts

Hello, i know that Observium was made so that it can send alerts from an internal email server but is there any way to get it to work with GMAIL? and if not what do i have to do to write my own script so that it sends me alerts to my GMAIL account. -- *Michael Khalil* | System Administrator *CONTROLTEC* 999 Republic Drive, Suite 100, Allen Park, MI 48101 *P* 313.438.5107 *F* 313.982.1305 *www.control-tec.com <http://www.control-tec.com/>* *This e-mail, and any attachments, is intended solely for use by the addressee(s) named above.* *It may contain confidential or proprietary information of Control-Tec LLC, its subsidiaries, affiliates or business partners.* *If you are not the intended recipient of this e-mail or are an unauthorized recipient of the information, you are hereby notified that any dissemination, distribution or copying of this e-mail or any attachments, is strictly prohibited.* *If you have received this e-mail in error, please immediately notify the sender by reply e-mail and permanently delete the original and any copies or printouts.* *Computer viruses can be transmitted via email.* *The recipient should check this e-mail and any attachments for the presence of viruses.* *Control-Tec LLC accepts no liability for any damage caused by any virus transmitted by this e-mail.*

Time on X-axis of graphs is 1 hour off.
by Henrik Cednert (Filmlance) 30 Aug '16

30 Aug '16

Hello What setting have I missed when my time on the X-axis on the graphs is one hour off (-1). Time of alerts are okay. So only the graph that shows -1 hour. ‘date’ on the server shows proper date and time.

Active Directory Services
by Ciro Iriarte 29 Aug '16

29 Aug '16

Hi!, anybody tried to get capacity metrics for AD services?, like DHCP scopes, LDAP connections, etc?. DHCP scope is exported by SNMP, for SCOPE capacity and usage, but given generic OID feature can graph a single data source, it's dificult to make that counter useful. Any suggestions? Regards, -- Ciro Iriarte http://iriarte.it --

App alerting
by Neil French 27 Aug '16

27 Aug '16

I saw a few weeks back a commit 8083 added "Add ability to store JSON data for apps.” and got all excited. Is this the starting for app-based alerting? I have amended my FreeSWITCH poller to store an array in my app name in readiness for the potential of some app-alerting goodness and see it now gets logged in a new column applications.app_json. If only there were a way to create an alert checker that polled it! :) Maybe like Device Match: "os equals linux” Entity Match: “application equals freeswitch”, condition: "peaksessionspersecond greater 10”? Cheers, Neil.

ubuntu upgrade 14.04->16.04; VRF list is not showing?
by Steve Costaras 27 Aug '16

27 Aug '16

Tried a test upgrade here on a system running observium professional (0.16.8.8086). Ubuntu upgrade went fine, added in mcrypt, php7.0. Was able to get into observium and most items looked ok that I could find with the exception of the VRF listing. (attached) The other areas, BGP, OSPF, etc all list out fine. The VRF section, as you can see lists the 2151 VRF's that we have but they are not displayed/listed. I checked php.ini, memory limit was set to 1024M which is the same I had w/ php5 under 14.04. Went back to 14.04 and figured I'd ask if anyone here who's done a similar upgrade has seen anything similar or any ideas on what else I can check?

Log's spammed by "Interface changed: [ifAdminStatus] '' -> '0'" for two devices after svn up.
by Henrik Cednert (Filmlance) 27 Aug '16

27 Aug '16

Hi there. Since the 19th of July, when I most probably svn up'ed, I have two identical devices that spams the logs with "Interface changed: [ifAdminStatus] '' -> '0'". They're 2 Tandberg LTO libraries and the're no sensor monitored in it, since not supported, but only the admin interface availability.
