Not seeing unix system graphs
by Glenn Cooper 01 Sep '16

01 Sep '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

Observium group alerting?
by Andrew.Jones＠kiewit.com 01 Sep '16

01 Sep '16

Can the grouping system be utilized for alerting at this time? Example: setup alert checker to monitor device status of a group of devices and send single alert if any of those devices goes down. Or is the grouping feature only used for information viewing and scheduled maintenance? We are looking at options for suppressing amount of alerts that can occur at some of our larger locations. Thanks for your help!

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

Hi!, anybody tried to get capacity metrics for AD services?, like DHCP scopes, LDAP connections, etc?.

App alerting
by Neil French 28 Aug '16

28 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.

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'".

Observium LDAP Edit Users very buggy
by Dano, Leo 20 Aug '16

20 Aug '16

Hello, I think I may have found the specific device access only via the Edit Users area. The only issue is that it is hit n miss. I sometimes can see my ldap users that have logged in and sometimes not. Once I do see the users, I edit one and give that person access to a group, but if I click any link, it puts me back at the login page. Which takes a few tries to log back in. Then sometimes when I click the edit users, no users show up. Is this part of the bugginess of Observium and LDAP integration? I am using the latest version per Subscription. Thanks, ----------------------- Leo Dano

Rancid integration - config tabs won't show up
by Pirmin Sidler - Computerline 18 Aug '16

18 Aug '16

Hi @ll First, I want to give you guys from Observium a big thumb up because having a such easy webapp, so easily maintainable, so powerful and all without marketing layers and super complicated licensing makes you kind of unique on the market. Now to the issue, I'm trying to integrate my rancid files into the latest stable version of Observium (did it last week following official observium tutorial). Now I have multiple entries in the config.php (because of multiple router.db files/directories in rancid) : $config['rancid_configs'][] = "/var/lib/rancid/ juniper1/configs/"; $config['rancid_configs'][] = "/var/lib/rancid/ juniper2/configs/"; $config['rancid_configs'][] = "/var/lib/rancid/ juniper3/configs/"; $config['rancid_ignorecomments'] = 0; All the /var/lib/rancid/ directory is chowned by rancid:rancid. www-data is in rancid group. I restarted apache2. I cleared the cache from browser. I checked the config in the observium web-interface and it's correctly read by the server (I see the lines above). I checked the hostnames, and the ones I am backing up with rancid are matching the ones registered in the observium. But there are some observium devices I am not backing up yet.

Interface percent usage (ifInOctets_perc) going above 100
by Oliver Baker 17 Aug '16

17 Aug '16

Hi there, I've configured an alert that checks if ifInOctets_perc exceeds 80% utilisation and I'm finding that the alert is being triggered for normal amounts of traffic. What steps can I take to resolve this? Here's an example alert email: ALERT *Alert* *Entity* en1 *Conditions* ifInOctets_perc ge 80 (275) ifOutOctets_perc ge 80 (80) *Metrics* ifInOctets_perc = 275 ifOutOctets_perc = 80 *Duration* 4m 36s (2016-08-17 08:31:09) Device *Device* server1.example.com *Hardware* Generic x86 [64bit] *Operating System* Mac OS X 15.6.0 *Location* *Uptime* 12 days, 10h 45m 35s port_percent

UNIX agent for PostgreSQL creating a new RRD file every poll since Aug 12
by Musall Maik 16 Aug '16

16 Aug '16

Hi, I noticed that postgresql application data disappeard on all servers recently. It ran fine for years, but since Aug 12, a new rrd file gets created on every poll, and the postgresql application tab is absent for all servers. I'm updating my installation daily on 9am, so this started happening after the Aug 12 update. Here's the oldest few files (out of over 1200 so far) for one of the servers: -rw-rw-r-- 1 observium observium 2086688 Aug 12 09:40 app-postgresql-12.rrd -rw-rw-r-- 1 observium observium 2086688 Aug 12 09:35 app-postgresql-11.rrd -rw-rw-r-- 1 observium observium 2086688 Aug 12 09:30 app-postgresql-10.rrd -rw-rw-r-- 1 observium observium 2086688 Aug 12 09:25 app-postgresql-9.rrd -rw-rw-r-- 1 observium observium 2086688 Aug 12 09:20 app-postgresql-8.rrd -rw-rw-r-- 1 observium observium 2086688 Aug 12 09:15 app-postgresql-7.rrd -rw-rw-r-- 1 observium observium 2086688 Aug 12 09:10 app-postgresql-6.rrd -rw-rw-r-- 1 observium observium 2086688 Aug 12 09:05 app-postgresql-5.rrd -rw-rw-r-- 1 observium observium 2086688 Apr 14 09:00 app-postgresql-_index_.rrd -rw-rw-r-- 1 observium observium 2086688 Apr 16 2015 app-postgresql-.rrd Apparently some change went wrong?

Is there any way to utilize local authentication and LDAP authentication simultaneously? We would like to utilize LDAP for our technicans, but also be able to create local users for client access. Would it be possible to create multiple login pages or something similar? Thanks, Billy [cid:DeanDortonbox.png] Billy Zoellers Infrastructure Engineer 106 W.

Thoughts on "locations" front-page module
by Daniel Horth 15 Aug '16

15 Aug '16

In our setup the ‘map’ frontage module is pretty and impresses exec level types, however the space is mostly wasted as far as an engineer is concerned, requiring multiple clicks to drill in to areas of interest. I’d like to have the location table as seen at http://observium/locations <http://observium/locations> on my home page instead. Is this an option that can be implemented simply enough? Does anyone else think that this is a good idea? Thanks for looking!

Please help create an alert :) Nexus FEX PS problem
by Laszlo Nemeth 11 Aug '16

11 Aug '16

Hello At the night the Observium showed an alert (fortunately) that I never set up in the Alert checks . I see this alert in Global/Alerts and the left up box there is an “1 alert” in the Statuses row. If I click the “1 alert” it shows me that a Cisco Nexus FEX modul’s powersupply EVENT is alert and Status is offDenied. So it is a dead PS. What I can to do if I would like to get alert if this happen again? I have lot of Alert Checks but I am not able to do an alert for this PS check because I don’t know what is the correct Entity match of it. I tried the “sensor_class equals powersupply” and Test is “sensor_value greater 2” (looks the normal PS value is 2, now this failed PS value is 4). But it doesn’t work (no matched entities). Thanks Laszlo

alerting problem
by Laszlo Nemeth 11 Aug '16

11 Aug '16

Hello, At the morning I was on the 7933 but 2 hours ago I updated to 8039. I used a CPU alert for my routers. In the older version it is worked, I got the alerts via mail and PagerDuty as I set up. Now after the upgrade I would like to test the alerting because on 7933 i “pached” the pagerduty.inc.php for more info in the PD message (the default file just send like “something wrong somewhere” :) So. After the upgrade with the original (nor pached) PD file I would like a test to see how looks out a PD message now. I set a lower value for the CPU alerting (from 50% to 15%) to generate alerting (now the cpu load is 18-25%) After a few minutes I see in the Alers / Processor that my deviced appear and show that the status is FAILED. It is ok. In the Alert Logging I get the “Checks failed” so it is great. But. I never get “Alert notification sent” messages. (I get “Alert notification sent” for other events, so the alerting is working for other services). I see in the Alerts that the router’s status is Failed, Checked 18s Changed 20m 36s, Alerted: never. What I have to do for send the alerts? Or for the debug? Thanks BR Laszlo

Re: [Observium] Alerting on Application attributes
by Neil French 09 Aug '16

09 Aug '16

Hi, Thanks for the confirmation, it’s great that alerting on an OID will be coming soon and in my case that will work, I’ll keep the App for viewing graphs and use a custom OID to monitor alerts by. Ultimately alerting on data collected by apps would be beneficial but not essential, as it will give neater integration options but I can see the complexities in that, maybe allowing apps to store pertinent stats for alerting in a column holding an array with a sub-array for each app? Anyway, I look forward to seeing the OID alerting soon. Thanks, Neil. ------------------------------ Message: 9 Date: Thu, 04 Aug 2016 09:50:00 -0500 From: Adam Armstrong <adama(a)memetic.org <mailto:adama@memetic.org>> To: Observium Network Observation System <observium(a)observium.org <mailto:observium@observium.org>> Cc: observium(a)observium.org <mailto:observium@observium.org> Subject: Re: [Observium] Alerting on Application attributes Message-ID: <fd070f1f-899c-4772-896b-540b771c7c16(a)typeapp.com <mailto:fd070f1f-899c-4772-896b-540b771c7c16@typeapp.com>> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Hi, Alerting on custom oid is planned for the not too distant future (along with some other additions to custom oid). Alerting on apps is much more complex, I'm not entirely sure how to approach it at the moment. I suspect it may not look exactly like the current alerting, but it is probably some time away.

DeltaUPS graphs broken after r8016
by Kent Johannessen 09 Aug '16

09 Aug '16

Well not really... but it will not use renamed RRDs before after a new discovery of sensors. Meanwhile polling will create new RRDs with old names, so it seems you have lost all data. Several hours of data can be missed because of this. Maybe some improvements can be done for that. NOTICE: Please immediately e-mail back to sender if you are not the intended recipient.

Holes in graphs
by Zoellers, Billy 09 Aug '16

09 Aug '16

Hello all, We're seeing holes on our graphs (example attached). This appears to be affecting all graphs in our installation on all devices. I know our connection is good (affecting LAN and WAN devices), but looking for any other ideas for correcting this? We have also tried increasing the number of poller processes. Only around 1000 ports on this install, 8 GB of RAM and 4 vCPU. Thanks, Billy [cid:image001.png@01D1EEFD.85030800] [cid:DeanDortonbox.png] Billy Zoellers Infrastructure Engineer 106 W.
