Google maps API
by Tii 29 Jun '16

29 Jun '16

My first mail, please forgive me if I'm doing this incorrectly. Have Observium running wonderfully on Rpi 3. Got a Google Maps Api key. Where do I put it? Looked in the HTML/JS folder but struggling a bit. Also, and I suspect these are typical of newbies (although I'm monitoring a few servers just fine), what settings recommended for monitoring a shared website host? Either by IP address or URL? Much appreciated, Tiisetso (South Africa)

overview page of Historical availability of specific alertcheckers
by Bastiaan Topper 29 Jun '16

29 Jun '16

Hello, Is there a way to get an overview page of the status of all the historical availability graphs of a specific alert type? So for example a page with all the DeviceDown alert type checks, with per device the row of graphs of the historical availability of the check. And preferably filtered by the devices in a group. For example, something looking like this: [cid:image001.png@01D1D1F7.867E5A90] What I try to achieve is an overview of the availability of devices for a specific group (for example a customer). Kind regards, Bastiaan Topper

Hi, is it possible to activate "Ignore device for alerting and notifications." until a specified time/date?

Billing fails on specific interfaces
by Jesper Frank Nemholt 27 Jun '16

27 Jun '16

Hi! I was testing billing and with certain interfaces it reports no data, despite the graphs clearly showing data. My thought is that it may relate to the interface name as it works well with other products and interface names. The "special" think is that the interface name has a colon in it. Have anyone seen this before ? See output : Bill : Test bill Polling nac-vv01-01:e1b on nac-vv01.xyz.com time: 1466805074|0 period:1466805074 No data.

Debuging slow SNMP-queries
by Markus Klock 27 Jun '16

27 Jun '16

Hey guys, I noticed I have some devices in my network that are responding very slow on just some specific SNMP-queries so I hacked together a small script that will parse the debug-output of Observium poller or discovery and then show you a list of the snmp-commands that took the longest to complete. I wrote a blogpost on how to use it here: http://blog.best-practice.se/2016/06/observium-performance-tuning.html and you can download the script from github: https://github.com/ZerxXxes/observium-logparser [image: Infogad bild 1] It was very helpful in finding what devices needed a software update ;) I hope it can be useful for others too /Markus

Re: [Observium] observium Digest, Vol 71, Issue 24

You should monitor your Dell server using snmp on the idrac itself like its a different device. The most important thing is the global status It will display in alert in the statuses front page. The global status is the color of the led when it's amber you have an issue. Now you will be able to see that in observium as well. Good luck.

SNMP just sometimes has a hickup. Although usually I don’t have these, but in order to prevent panic/heart attacks, I did introduce that 1 time delay on my device down alerts. Haven you applied alert checkers on port-errors all around your network as well? CRC/port errors, and things like these you might want to fix first before you actually get in to device down alerting. Just a simple "ifInErrors_rate gt 0 & ifOutErrors_rate gt 0 on ifType equals ethernetCsmacd” alert-check will give you all these ports. you’d be surprised how much stuff is wrong in an average network. Also certainly check the port to which your observium machine is connected to, and make sure to monitor your observium machine as well, make sure your machine is well specced out. In addition to this, I’ve configured IP SLA on all our core routers to see/verify that latency on our links is within the SLA parameters of our suppliers. Do this before you check on devices down.

Re: [Observium] Delay the alert trigger in case of loss only one ping

I'll echo this sentiment. We were seeing a large number of false positives because of lack of SNMP response from some devices even though they were responding to pings without problem. Setting a delay of 1 reduced the number of alerts we were seeing substantially. We do still get a couple devices that will fail both checks, usually right after the discovery run, and we'll get an alarm on that, but it clears itself next poll.

Hi Peter, Thx for your answer and its check-list... which helped me to find my mistake and to solve the problem when you run the agent manually on the affected server, does it return an output /usr/lib/observium_agent/local/apache <<<apache>>> 56775 No. If not, do you use vhosts ? Yes B-) but I had not enabled the default site.

Graphs with Color Coded Percent Utilization
by Gumilar Siegfried 24 Jun '16

24 Jun '16

Hello, I am currently trying to completely replace our cacti installation with Observium. One of the last things that make me hold on to cacti are these kind of graphs: [cid:image001.gif@01D1C580.2CFF4E30] The graphs are described here: http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=8520 We have put the most important interfaces on our NOC screen and can immediately recognize if some interfaces are under unusual high load. Is there a way I can achieve something similar with Observium? Thanks, Regards Siegfried

One of my Apache servers do not show
by Bernard Savonet (M) 23 Jun '16

23 Jun '16

Hi, I've recently added some hosts to my monitored services. - All are running Apache 2.4 so I applied the Apache configuration as described at http://www.observium.org/docs/apps/#apache - All except one show the Apache application info as expected. - Except for the missing Apache info, this site is correctly reported (so general snmp / xinet config are fine) - I have carefully reviewed the different points for this host and Apache config, all is nominal. Which are the points I might have done wrong in the checklist? Which other points not in the checklist should I look at? Thx for your help Bernard

Alert Checker for memory?
by Dano, Leo 23 Jun '16

23 Jun '16

I created an alert to let me know when a host uses over 90% of its memory. The problem is that linux uses over that in "cached" memory. Is there a way to exclude cached memory? Physical and Swap are fine. I am using mempool_perc greater 90 in Check Conditions. Thanks, ----------------------- Leo Dano

Delay the alert trigger in case of loss only one ping
by prost pierrick 23 Jun '16

23 Jun '16

Hi everyone , Observium lost 1 ping sometime (I don't know why ) after each ping lost, alerts are triggered. Actually I have only two Alerts Checks : Device Down device_status equals 0 * * Device UP device_status equals 1 * * It's possible to add a delay before triggering ? Like waiting 5 ping lost before triggering ? Regards. Pierrick Prost

Dear All, I remember there was a thread regarding this matter, but I couldn't get into the observium archive to read the whole thread. To make a long story short, I'm looking for a way to aggregate a class-map that is configured on several interfaces on one graphs, like, one graph for Bronze, one graph for Silver and one graph for Gold that summarize the CBQoS graphs for 8 different interfaces. is it possible?

CAS authentication

Hi all, I've seen that CAS authentication is already integrated, but I've found no documentation. I've tried to set: vi /opt/observium/config.php // Authentication Model $config['auth_mechanism'] = 'cas'; $config['auth_cas_host'] = 'cas02.domain.es'; $config['auth_cas_port'] = '443'; $config['auth_cas_context'] = 'cas'; $config['auth_cas_ca_cert'] = '/etc/tls/cacert/DigiCertCA'; //$config['auth_mechanism'] = "http-auth"; //$config['http_auth_guest'] = "admin"; but it didn't work, I get "Error: Internal script failure" which comes from phpcas. I've installed the latest version of phpcas from the original source.

Adam, it looks like you weighed in a little bit with the Netonix guys a year and a half ago about getting support for their switches in. They've got their own enterprise number now and many others are having great success using it. Any thoughts and getting full support in (the paid for version of) Observium?

inconsistent traffic windows -> freebsd
by evo 20 Jun '16

20 Jun '16

Hi, today I noticed something strange I can't explain at the moment. I am running a backup job (8TB) over a 1Gbit Interface, from Windows Server 2012 R2 -> HP switch -> Freebsd 10.2 The freebsd snmp interface reports the real Bits/s with an Avg In of 511.98M while the Windows Interface in charge reports an average of 32M out. If I take a look at the Task Manager within windows I'd also guess and Avg of 500Mbit/s. Also the Unicast Packets TX of Windows are very similiar to the Traffic RX at freebsd. I have attached two screenshots and would be very glad if someone could take a look. I have also added the relevant part of my weathermap, where I take the switch interfaces snmp to draw the links, and they look very alike to the windows interface, but not to the freebsd. Please help, I am starting to doubt my qualification. with kind regards, Valentin

When looking at details on ports for a device this is pretty much already done at the right most column next to mac adress. So doesn't seem that far fetched? =) Cheers and thanks -- Henrik Cednert cto | compositor Filmlance International | www.filmlance.se mobile [ + 46 (0)704 71 89 54 ] skype [ cednert ]

Good Morning, I’ve recently added a WatchGuard M200 into Observium which discovers all the correct interfaces/counters but shows the device ultimately as generic / unknown.

Hi I'm trying to figure out what has happend to the mail in our observium. It was working for a while but not now.. My Observium is a TurnKey appliance download. Now i can see that it's trying to open port 25 on a server that it's not supposed to go to.. Don't know if someone have been messing with the server.. Here is my config.php settings. // Enable alerter (not available in CE) #$config['poller-wrapper']['alerter'] = TRUE; // Set up a default alerter (email to a single address) $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['descr'] = "Default Email Alert"; $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['type'] = "email"; $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['contact'] = "driftlarm(a)xxxxxx.se"; $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['enable'] = TRUE; //Email settings $config['email']['default'] = "driftlarm(a)cgit.se"; $config['email']['default_only'] = TRUE; $config['email']['from'] = "CGit Observium <observium(a)xxxxx.se>"; $config['email']['backend'] = 'mail'; $config['email']['smtp_host'] = 'smtprelay1.hosting.local'; $config['email']['smtp_port'] = 25; $config['email']['smtp_timeout'] = 10; $config['email']['smtp_secure'] = FALSE; $config['email']['enable'] = TRUE; $config['email']['smtp_auth'] = FALSE; $config['email']['smtp_username'] = NULL; $config['email']['smtp_password'] = NULL; ping smtprelay1.hosting.local PING smtprelay1.hosting.local (172.31.232.15) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from smtprelay1.hosting.local (172.31.232.15): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.460 ms /opt/observium# ./test_alert.php -a 34 MIB search path: /opt/observium/mibs Cannot find module (LM-SENSORS-MIB): At line 0 in (none) Observium 0.16.5.7901 Test Alert Notification ##### Software versions ##### o OS Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 [amd64] (Debian 8.1) o Apache 2.4.10 o PHP 5.6.20-0+deb8u1 (OPcache: DISABLED) o Python 2.7.9 o MySQL 5.5.49-0+deb8u1 (extension: mysqli 5.5.49) o SNMP NET-SNMP 5.7.2.1 o RRDtool 1.4.8 ##### MySQL mode ##### o MySQL ##### Charset info ##### o PHP UTF-8 o MySQL utf8 ##### Timezones info ##### o Date Monday, 13-Jun-16 21:23:47 CEST o PHP +02:00 o MySQL +02:00 o Notifying [email] Driftlarm: {"email":"driftlarm(a)cgit.se"} root@observium1 /opt/observium# Output from tcptrack Client Server State Idle A Speed 172.31.232.40:38086 172.16.102.16:25 SYN_SENT 1s 0 B/s 172.31.232.40:38088 172.16.102.16:25 SYN_SENT 28s 0 B/s 172.31.232.40:38090 172.16.102.16:25 SYN_SENT 28s 0 B/s And as you can see it's not supposed to connect to 172.16.102.16. that server does not even have a SMTP server on it.

Hi, We have a Nexus 5K with FEX. The Observium (v 7900) can show the temp datas of it. But if set the „Graph Previous” and „Show Legend”, the value of the previous temp datas shows as „A” instead of „C”(elsius). Attached a picture. Regards, Laszlo
