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

Re: [Observium] Group bug
by Laszlo Nemeth 02 Jun '16

02 Jun '16

Yes, you are right ☺ So ok, the Ports menu shows the groups that contain ports group and we have two groups menu now (Globe, Ports). :) Sorry. But in this case I think the Ports -> Groups has to be the default value is the “Port”. Like in the Globe->Groups there is the “All” is the default value. But nothing in the Ports->Groups. It shows nothing until I press the “Port” on this page.

BGP peers updated
by Arnaud Launay 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

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

Re: [Observium] can't resolve host, but I can ping it
by Dev 28 May '16

28 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.

Missing BGP Peers
by Duncan Mossop 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

Alerting debugging
by Dominik Nowacki 23 May '16

23 May '16

Hi All, I was wondering if there is any way of debugging pushover alerts? We have an entry in the alert log about the "Alert notification sent". The message was never delivered (we use Pushover), and the Application info in the Pushover interface doesn't say there was any message attempted. How to debug it? We're on Observium 0.16.5.7823 (stable) Thanks! Kind Regards, Dom

Alert Dependencies
by Spencer Ryan 21 May '16

21 May '16

I've asked about this before but how hard would it be for you guys to implement alert dependencies? The easiest way I can think of doing it would be to simply let us set a "parent" device for anything, and if that device is offline don't send any alerts for downstream devices. For example we have a testlab that has no UPS/Generator power that we monitor about 200 devices, when the building loses power we get those 200 alarms about devices being offline, when in reality there is a single 6500 as the gateway, and if that switch is offline, i know the rest will be. We don't want to disable the offline alarms because we do want to know when individual devices drop out.

RRD Files - Error Drawing Graph - Before you groan, its limited to OpenBSD and I have an RRDCommand.. ; )
by Andy Lemin 20 May '16

20 May '16

Hi, On Observium commercial, all of our OpenBSD firewalls fail to draw the "Processors" graph on the device Overview page :( However if you go to the "Graphs" tab on the Device page, the "Processors" graphs do draw.. It seems to only be limited to the "Overview" tab on the device page. Our Linux servers, Cisco, HP gear etc are all fine. For both the OpenBSD firewalls and the Linux servers, the Processors graph on the Overview page seems to be based on "Device (ucd_ss_cpu)". But the Processors graph which does work looks to be based on "Device (processor)". So it seems that "Device (ucd_ss_cpu)" is not populated for OpenBSD, where Observium thinks it should be. Here is the RRD Command for a failing one; root@intermap:/opt/observium/rrd/ar1406.live.brandwatch.net# /usr/bin/rrdtool graph /tmp/11MUfpl7O7LSQtoX.png -g -Y --lower-limit 0 --alt-autoscale-max --start 1463587788 --end 1463674188 --width 1152 --height 300 -c BACK#EEEEEE00 -c SHADEA#EEEEEE00 -c SHADEB#EEEEEE00 -c FONT#000000 -c CANVAS#FFFFFF00 -c GRID#a5a5a5 -c MGRID#FF9999 -c FRAME#5e5e5e -c ARROW#5e5e5e -R normal --font LEGEND:8:'DroidSansMono,DejaVuSansMono' --font AXIS:7:'DroidSansMono,DejaVuSansMono' --font-render-mode normal -E COMMENT:' Now Min Max Avg' COMMENT:'\l' CDEF:total= HRULE:0#555555 ERROR: String ends after the = sign on 'CDEF:total=' Here is the RRD Command for a Linux device which works; root@intermap:/opt/observium/rrd/ar1406.live.brandwatch.net# /usr/bin/rrdtool graph /tmp/vskuqlACvSuyBGUW.png -g -Y --lower-limit 0 --alt-autoscale-max --start 1463587973 --end 1463674373 --width 1152 --height 300 -c BACK#EEEEEE00 -c SHADEA#EEEEEE00 -c SHADEB#EEEEEE00 -c FONT#000000 -c CANVAS#FFFFFF00 -c GRID#a5a5a5 -c MGRID#FF9999 -c FRAME#5e5e5e -c ARROW#5e5e5e -R normal --font LEGEND:8:'DroidSansMono,DejaVuSansMono' --font AXIS:7:'DroidSansMono,DejaVuSansMono' --font-render-mode normal -E COMMENT:' Now Min Max Avg' COMMENT:'\l' DEF:ssCpuRawUser=/opt/observium/rrd/ ar1406.live.brandwatch.net/ucd_ssCpuRawUser.rrd:value:AVERAGE DEF:ssCpuRawNice=/opt/observium/rrd/ ar1406.live.brandwatch.net/ucd_ssCpuRawNice.rrd:value:AVERAGE DEF:ssCpuRawSystem=/opt/observium/rrd/ ar1406.live.brandwatch.net/ucd_ssCpuRawSystem.rrd:value:AVERAGE DEF:ssCpuRawWait=/opt/observium/rrd/ ar1406.live.brandwatch.net/ucd_ssCpuRawWait.rrd:value:AVERAGE DEF:ssCpuRawInterrupt=/opt/observium/rrd/ ar1406.live.brandwatch.net/ucd_ssCpuRawInterrupt.rrd:value:AVERAGE DEF:ssCpuRawSoftIRQ=/opt/observium/rrd/ ar1406.live.brandwatch.net/ucd_ssCpuRawSoftIRQ.rrd:value:AVERAGE DEF:ssCpuRawKernel=/opt/observium/rrd/ ar1406.live.brandwatch.net/ucd_ssCpuRawKernel.rrd:value:AVERAGE DEF:ssCpuRawIdle=/opt/observium/rrd/ ar1406.live.brandwatch.net/ucd_ssCpuRawIdle.rrd:value:AVERAGE CDEF:total=ssCpuRawUser,UN,0,ssCpuRawUser,IF,ssCpuRawNice,UN,0,ssCpuRawNice,IF,ssCpuRawSystem,UN,0,ssCpuRawSystem,IF,ssCpuRawWait,UN,0,ssCpuRawWait,IF,ssCpuRawInterrupt,UN,0,ssCpuRawInterrupt,IF,ssCpuRawSoftIRQ,UN,0,ssCpuRawSoftIRQ,IF,ssCpuRawKernel,UN,0,ssCpuRawKernel,IF,ssCpuRawIdle,UN,0,ssCpuRawIdle,IF,+,+,+,+,+,+,+ CDEF:ssCpuRawUser_perc=ssCpuRawUser,total,/,100,* CDEF:ssCpuRawNice_perc=ssCpuRawNice,total,/,100,* CDEF:ssCpuRawSystem_perc=ssCpuRawSystem,total,/,100,* CDEF:ssCpuRawWait_perc=ssCpuRawWait,total,/,100,* CDEF:ssCpuRawInterrupt_perc=ssCpuRawInterrupt,total,/,100,* CDEF:ssCpuRawSoftIRQ_perc=ssCpuRawSoftIRQ,total,/,100,* CDEF:ssCpuRawKernel_perc=ssCpuRawKernel,total,/,100,* CDEF:ssCpuRawIdle_perc=ssCpuRawIdle,total,/,100,* HRULE:0#555555 AREA:ssCpuRawUser_perc#c02020:'User ' GPRINT:ssCpuRawUser_perc:LAST:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawUser_perc:MIN:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawUser_perc:MAX:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawUser_perc:AVERAGE:%5.1lf%%\n AREA:ssCpuRawNice_perc#008f00:'Nice ':STACK GPRINT:ssCpuRawNice_perc:LAST:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawNice_perc:MIN:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawNice_perc:MAX:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawNice_perc:AVERAGE:%5.1lf%%\n AREA:ssCpuRawSystem_perc#ea8f00:'System ':STACK GPRINT:ssCpuRawSystem_perc:LAST:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawSystem_perc:MIN:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawSystem_perc:MAX:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawSystem_perc:AVERAGE:%5.1lf%%\n AREA:ssCpuRawWait_perc#1f78b4:'Wait ':STACK GPRINT:ssCpuRawWait_perc:LAST:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawWait_perc:MIN:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawWait_perc:MAX:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawWait_perc:AVERAGE:%5.1lf%%\n AREA:ssCpuRawInterrupt_perc#a6cee3:'Interrupt ':STACK GPRINT:ssCpuRawInterrupt_perc:LAST:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawInterrupt_perc:MIN:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawInterrupt_perc:MAX:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawInterrupt_perc:AVERAGE:%5.1lf%%\n AREA:ssCpuRawSoftIRQ_perc#b2df8a:'SoftIRQ ':STACK GPRINT:ssCpuRawSoftIRQ_perc:LAST:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawSoftIRQ_perc:MIN:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawSoftIRQ_perc:MAX:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawSoftIRQ_perc:AVERAGE:%5.1lf%%\n AREA:ssCpuRawKernel_perc#fb9a99:'Kernel ':STACK GPRINT:ssCpuRawKernel_perc:LAST:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawKernel_perc:MIN:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawKernel_perc:MAX:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawKernel_perc:AVERAGE:%5.1lf%%\n AREA:ssCpuRawIdle_perc#f5f5e5:'Idle ':STACK GPRINT:ssCpuRawIdle_perc:LAST:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawIdle_perc:MIN:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawIdle_perc:MAX:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawIdle_perc:AVERAGE:%5.1lf%%\n 1233x339 Failing OpenBSD Example; Working Linux Example; Thank you very much for your time, and a great system.
