BlueCat monitoring
by Jesper Frank Nemholt 13 Jun '16

13 Jun '16

Hi! I created a few custom OID entries for BlueCat (DNS). This works well as the DNS OIDs are straight forward. For the DHCP part of this product, using custom OIDs won't cut it as one have to traverse each subnet for data, so I wanted to know if anyone is working on enhanced BlueCat already ? /Jesper

Re: [Observium] Cool Output of APC in-row cooler, random enormous spikes.
by Henrik Cednert (Filmlance) 10 Jun '16

10 Jun '16

I'll be damned. That was probably just pure luck but it alerted faster than expected. Please see screenshot link displaying the alert mail, because they to look a tad odd: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5ynr67ior7at3e3/mailalert.png. It lasted for 5 minutes, or actually just a brief moment within the polling period, but look at the duration in the recovery email. Really odd. By the way, are there templates where we can configure the layout of the email alerts (subject, what it displays in body and more)? Here is a screenshot of the graph created from the data in previous command. https://www.dropbox.com/s/nw47m75tj601gmh/csv_graph.png So yes. There's spikes in the data and I guess they don't show up in data center expert because they run some filter at it or just ignore random peaks or something. The value of the peaks in the now collected data is ALWAYS 20480 which in some way feels significant since it's constant and feels like some sort of unit max value. Not sure if there's other higher peaks as well because what I see in Observium is higher or if the scale of the axis there is off, not sure but here's another screenshot. https://www.dropbox.com/s/0whwzf7wf34j8uu/observium_graph.png But, feels like an APC issue then so guess I'll have the pleasure of once again dealing with that support. =/ Cheers and thanks for the help Adam. -- Henrik Cednert cto | compositor Filmlance International | www.filmlance.se mobile [ + 46 (0)704 71 89 54 ] skype [ cednert ] From: observium <observium-bounces(a)observium.org<mailto:observium-bounces@observium.org>> on behalf of Henrik Cednert <henrik.cednert(a)filmlance.se<mailto:henrik.cednert@filmlance.se>> Reply-To: Observium Network Observation System <observium(a)observium.org<mailto:observium@observium.org>> Date: Friday 10 June 2016 at 15:27 To: Observium Network Observation System <observium(a)observium.org<mailto:observium@observium.org>> Subject: Re: [Observium] Cool Output of APC in-row cooler, random enormous spikes.

Hi Henrik, Sensors are all "gauges", so there's no real concept of spikes the way there is for ports (which are counters). If we're getting a spike, it's either that the device is sending the wrong data, or that the device is sending a number which hasn't been adjusted for the scale the device uses. It'll be the first if the 1.6-1.9 doesn't have any relation to the "real" number, and the latter if it's just off by a few orders of magnitude. It's pretty unlikely that we could do any bad maths, maths is easy, and such bugs would present much more regularly. These sorts of things are pretty common on many vendor's SNMP implementations. You might be able to see it in action by frequently polling the sensor in question's OID and logging the value. adam.

Dell/Force10 S60. Missing a few sensors/objects
by Henrik Cednert (Filmlance) 10 Jun '16

10 Jun '16

Hi there Let me start with apologise if I use the wrong terminology here, heard a few times on IRC that I need to read-up on MIB and OID's. =) My brain refuse to fulle understand it though, not sure why. Have added a Force10 s60 switch to observium. Mostly it's fine but I do miss sensors for PSU and the Fans. Here's a discovery.php -dd of the device: http://pastebin.com/D7FNqgVi Here's an (attempt) of snmpwalking it. Still not sure I do this the right way... http://pastebin.com/DnkZtkvX At around line 1788 and forward you can see the PSU and fan objects (line numbers in this paste is wrong). 1. F10-S-SERIES-CHASSIS-MIB::chStackUnitNumFanTrays.1 = INTEGER: 2 2. F10-S-SERIES-CHASSIS-MIB::chStackUnitNumFanTrays.2 = INTEGER: 0 3.

Proper procedure in Observium for hardware replacement?
by Derek 09 Jun '16

09 Jun '16

So, I had a question regarding hardware replacement. I recently replaced several Cisco 2811 routers with Cisco ISR 4331's, and kept the same host name. After the swap, I noticed I wasn't getting any graphs for data flow on the serial interfaces. I attempted running discovery on them again, and waited for a few polling cycles, but still go no data. In the end, I ended up deleting the devices completely out of Observium, including the RRD files, and re-adding. After this was done, everything showed up correctly. So, as I will be doing more of these soon, is there a specific process I should follow for these? Maybe rename the old device to a different hostname, then add the new device? The historical data wasn't critical, so I'm not too bothered losing it, but I would like to avoid it if possible. Thanks, Derek

website formatting is borken
by Christopher Barry 07 Jun '16

07 Jun '16

Greets, I signed up to the mailing list just to point out that the page header on all documentation pages is half-obscured by the menu bar and looks like crap. In the picture, it's the 'Screenshots' header, but it's on all pages. Thought you might want to know that. http://www.pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=103988 Yes, it's scrolled all the way up... Also, having a simple contact email address at the bottom of the homepage for this type of thing would certainly be nice. I had to jump through a bunch of hoops (sign up, wait for moderation, put image on paste site, blah, blah, etc.) just to tell you this out of the goodness of my heart. Likely nobody else will do this - and I'm not even using this product! You're welcome. Running: Debian sid Firefox ESR 45.1.1

Apps graphs in Observium
by Mads Boye 06 Jun '16

06 Jun '16

Hello. I am using Observium to monitor two postfix servers. However the APPS summary site, does not show the postfix graph. From what i can gather it seems that there is a mismatch in what application name the apps overview page uses and the apps subpage for the individual server. i.e. the postfix server app subpage calls http://observium.my.server.bla/graphs/to=1465199547/id=10/type=applicat ion_postfix_sent/from=1465113147/ and the apps overview calls: http://observium.monitor.srv.aau.dk/graphs/to=1465199603/from=146511320 3/legend=no/type=application_postfix_mailgraph_sent/id=10/ if i remove the "mailgraph" part form the last link the correct graph shows. I've tried to add the postfix application to the "includes/definitions/apps.inc.php with no luck. If the application name is correct it cannot find the graph postfix_sent etc. <?php // Definitions related to the applications system // Application graph definitions $config['app']['moodle']['top'] = array('users', 'mobile'); $config['app']['varnish']['top'] = array('backend', 'cache', 'lru'); $config['app']['postfix_mailgraph']['top'] = array('sent', 'spam', 'reject'); // End application definitions I might be overlooking something or doing it wrong, but it seems that the mismatch should be corrected? I have added both postfix scripts form scripts/agent-local And a second question. I've made a custom Observium app for monitoring an application, which is working fine. My problem is that i wish to extend the agent to monitor some extra paramters. RRDtool now says that there is no entry for the new DS in the rrd file. Is there a way to update the RRD file, so i do not have to delete it and loose the historical data from the other parts that i monitor? Let me know if you need additional informations on both problems. Best Regards, Mads.

Rancid integration - Cannot see old versions anymore
by Andy Lemin 03 Jun '16

03 Jun '16

Hi, Hopefully this will be a simple question and I've just misconfigured something, anyway.. We have rancid working great before, and when you go to the Config tab, it showed you the latest configuration, as well as the configuration revision history. However after upgrading the server to Jessie (probably unrelated but seemed to break a couple weeks around this time), we now only see the latest config only and not the history anymore? We have these settings; $config['rancid_configs'][] = "/var/lib/rancid/observium/configs/"; $config['rancid_ignorecomments'] = 0; And we have done this; http://www.observium.org/docs/rancid/ It all works, just only shows the most recent? We need to roll some config back and couldn't.. Cheers, Andy. -- *Download our latest free guide here <https://www.brandwatch.com/competitive-intelligence-guide/>*

Recent Events timestamps
by Jacob Bisby 03 Jun '16

03 Jun '16

Hi all I've just migrated our Observium installation over to a PHP7 based install (much quicker than the PHP5 based install so far). Everything seems fine except for the Recent Events list on the front page - the "time" counter since the event occurred has started getting stuck at 0 seconds for some reason, but the tooltip that pops up when you mouse over the 0s timestamps shows the correct time that the event occurred at. Is PHP7 a no-no for Observium at this point? - Jacob Bisby

by Arnaud Launay 30 May '16

30 May '16

Hello, We use the stable licensed SVN version of Observium. Since the beginning of April, we have several times a day those messages: 2016-04-07 12:37:24 edge.dc2 edge.dc2.dom.tld Bgp-peers: 6 updated, 49 unchanged. 2016-04-07 06:35:19 edge.dc2 edge.dc2.dom.tld Bgp-peers: 6 updated, 49 unchanged. 2016-04-07 00:41:10 edge.dc2 edge.dc2.dom.tld Bgp-peers: 6 updated, 49 unchanged. (... more of the same ...) 2016-05-25 12:37:02 edge.dc2 edge.dc2.dom.tld Bgp-peers: 6 updated, 49 unchanged. 2016-05-25 06:36:33 edge.dc2 edge.dc2.dom.tld Bgp-peers: 6 updated, 49 unchanged. 2016-05-25 00:38:06 edge.dc2 edge.dc2.dom.tld Bgp-peers: 6 updated, 49 unchanged. Routers (we have this on several) are Juniper MX5. Analysis of the logs reveals that nothing has moved on the bgp side, no flap, no event, peers are steady. I've tried to look into what pushes Observium to emit those messages, but I'm a bit lost. Any ideas ? Thanks, Arnaud.

global template settings
by Martijn Fennis 30 May '16

30 May '16

Hi, first time user of observium and i like the info that i can get with it. The documentation is probably behind the "client-area" @ observium.org? I have no idea if it matters whenever i change the type from "server" to "firewall", does it apply other MIB's to the device? I am trying to figure out how i can minimize the amount of polling bandwidth. I see there is a "global-setting" or "device-setting" but how to modify those globally @ template? Regards, Martijn

Citrix ICA and/or RDP Login count
by Richard Wigzell 30 May '16

30 May '16

Hello, this maybe a malformed question but has anyone used Observium to graph Citrix ICA or Remote Desktop logins / session count? I am guessing this could only be done with a WMI query so no? but thought I would ask.

Re: [Observium] can't resolve host, but I can ping it
by Dev 27 May '16

27 May '16

Thanks Adam, that worked. The strange thing is when I run ./discovery.php -h all It enumerates hundreds of network devices by IP that aren’t listed in /etc/hosts, but for some reason it doesn’t populate them all in the web GUI > Devices, so I guess I have to write something that converts all those IP’s to hostnames and adds them all to /etc/hosts, which seems hard. Am I missing something? Does the enterprise version resolve IP’s? Now I have to figure out why it’s not polling the interfaces on the devices it added successfully to create traffic graphs, though I made the crontab entries as specified in the install docs. > Use a hostname. > > The current CE won't allow addition of devices by IP. > >Adam. > >Sent from BlueMail > > > On 26 May 2016, 22:16, at 22:16, Dev <dev(a)logicalwebhost.com> wrote: > ./add_device.php 1.2.3.4 catalyst v1 > > fails with > > Try to add 1.2.3.4: > Could not resolve 1.2.3.4. > Devices failed: 1. > > but ping works > > fping 1.2.3.4 > 1.2.3.4. is alive > > but snmpwalk works like: > > snmpwalk -v 1 -c catalyst 1.2.3.4 > iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0 = STRING: "Cisco IOS Software, Catalyst… > ... > > The web interface add device also fails same way. what am I missing?

Discards reporting incorectly
by Andy Lemin 27 May '16

27 May '16

Hi, We have noticed an interesting problem where on all of our OpenBSD firewalls, every single interface on the same firewall reports the same discards rate. We would like to try and work out which interface these discards are actually happening on, so we can work out what the cause is and check for a possible remedy (wrong VLANs being trunked through for example). If they are bad checksums, than that's ok. But would like to know ;) Below is a screenshot showing the "Errors" graphs for all ports on the same server, notice how they are all displaying the same data. My thoughts of how to start are; What is the SNMP OID being polled for this information? I wonder if OpenBSD is incorrectly reporting the same value on all interfaces, or if there is only a single Discards counter/OID for the whole system, or if it is an Observium problem etc.. So if anyone can tell me the OID, I can do some more investigation first ;) I don't mind setting up OID mappings in SNMPD etc, if that is required I would be happy to provide a configuration template for Observium and OpenBSD. And I also wonder how up to date the OpenBSD MIB file built into Observium is? Thanks in advance for your help :) Kind regards, Andy.

Graph error on ipv6 host
by Anders Alavik 26 May '16

26 May '16

HI! I added 2 new routers direct with ipv6 direct in cli. Every thing works nice exept the aggregated graphs were the 2 new routers are a part. My guess is that its the name’s on the routers thats are the problem. they are just named as the ipv6 address.

Missing BGP Peers
by Duncan Mossop 25 May '16

25 May '16

Afternoon, Before I open a ticket with JTAC, I have a Juniper MX router that currently displays no BGP peer data (it used to once upon a time). I ran ./poller.php -h <device_id> -m bgp-peers –d against it and got the attached output. I also get the below every day or so: [cid:image001.png@01D1B683.F2B58B50] I could be wrong but from that log file it looks like the snmpwalk is returning data from the device? Could someone run their eyes over the log and see if they agree and if so where do I need to look next in order to resolve this issue?

Alert Checker options
by Lyndon Labuschagne 25 May '16

25 May '16

Hi All Is there a way of removing a subset of device names from the alert checker configs, i.e. !somename.* * or NOT EQUAL somename.* * or similar so if there are devices that I want to graph, but dont care if they are up or down. Which brings me to another point I guess, is there a way of not showing certain things on the dashboard or diminishing the value / time of a notified device, I dont need to know about a rebooted device for 24 hours, also is there are 2 or 3 errors on an interface I may not need to know about them, and as per above I may only want to graph traffic on a device if it is up, and dont need to know if it isnt up

Missing module "LM-SENSORS-MIB"

Since we've upgraded to Observium Professional 0.16.5.7872, we are getting an error about a missing MIB file every 30 minutes: > MIB search path: /opt/observium/mibs > Cannot find module (LM-SENSORS-MIB): At line 0 in (none) It seems like older versions of Observium have this file but the latest one hasn't. How should we go about fixing this error? Sincerely, Leon
