Observium - Custom OID view for Global Read ONLY users ?
by Bradley, Jim 06 May '16

06 May '16

Hi All, Is there a way to share live/active charts for custom OID’s with Global Read Only view users ? I want my User Support team to be able to see a live chart of the Cisco Any connect users I’ve got a Custom OID for; it is a single chart covering all gateway devices specifically for SSL VPN/AnyConnect type connections, it lets us see the distribution of connections across gateways. I can give them a static chart easily enough, but apparently not one that can be updated or updates itself. Any ideas ? Many thanks. [cid:FE21DD9D-C7F4-4C33-AF27-8DC09732712E] -- Jim Bradley

Email Alerts from Observium
by Murali Krishna Kanagala 06 May '16

06 May '16

Hello Everyone, I have been using Observium to monitor a variety of network devices and VMWare ESXi hosts. Observium is doing a great job in gathering all the data from these devices and it is really helpful. I am trying to setup some alerts for disk, cpu and network utilizations but not receiving any emails. Here are some more details.Version: Observium CE 0.16.1.7533 1) I have modified below lines with right email address.// set up alerts $config['alerts']['email']['default'] = "mail(a)example.com"; ## Default alert recipient$config['alerts']['email']['default_only'] = true; ## Only use default recipient$config['alerts']['email']['enable'] = true; ## Disable email alerts as we do not use observium for monitoring but only for metering$config['uptime_warning'] = "86400"; ## Time in seconds to display a "Device Rebooted" warning, defualts to 1 day. Set to 0 to disable warnings.$config['alerts']['port']['ifdown'] = false; ## Generate an alert for ports which enter the ifdown state. 2) Tried sending test mail using ./test_alert.php./test_alert.php -a "some text" 3) Logged in to Web UI, under global settings set all buttons to default under "Use DB" 4) Setup some tests and to trigger alerts and looks like it tried to send some alerts, seeing a time entry under Alerted column. 5) Checked observium log(logs/observium.log) and system logs to see if there were any attempts to send out an email. No entries were found. 6) Observium server is able to send out emails, i have tested it using mailx and sendmail commands, it uses postfix configuration. I am not able to find where the issue is. Can someone help me with this? Thank you,Murali Kanagala412 482 2244

Security Issue with old script
by Adam Armstrong 04 May '16

Hi Guys, There's an authenticated remote execution issue with an old unused script, netcmd.php. You should either SVN up to have it automatically removed (we've not used it for a long time, but no one removed it!), or you can manually remove it if you're running CE. Thanks, adam.

I managed to get alerts working and its great. I did have a few questions though. Ideally, I'd like it if there were nothing in red on the dashboard (as if there are issues). [image: Inline image 1] Observium says I have a port down and 1 alert failed. However, all alerts are either OK or suppressed. Ports are either on and in use or disabled. There is nothing that shows in those lists. Any reason why it says that something is down? Your help is appreciated.

Poller Overruns
by Gagandeep Mann 03 May '16

03 May '16

Hi We are currently running OBSERVIUM Professional Ed with 31 Cisco 7600/3560/2960 polling around 5000+ ports. The Traffic graphs are showing gaps as the poller seems to be taking a lot of time. We have tried different values for the poller wrapper threads (16, 32, 48, 64) on a 16 core/64GB RAM machine but not seen any improvement. We have also tried different values for the 'ma-rep' field for snmp bulkwalk (5, 10 etc) - had seen improvement initially after enabling with 5, but the polling times seem to have increased automatically after some time. We are currently running with 64 Poller threads and max-rep 10. Pls suggest if we are missing something. A few screen-shots are attached. [cid:image001.png@01D1A52A.833D30D0] [cid:image002.png@01D1A52A.833D30D0] [cid:image003.png@01D1A52A.DB6AE400] [cid:image004.png@01D1A52B.42FE16A0] Best regards Gagandeep Mann ________________________________ This E-Mail may contain Confidential and/or legally privileged Information and is meant for the intended recipient(s) only.

We hard-enabled the BGP in the config.php ($config['enable_bgp'] = 1;) but it doesn’t help. All of BGP related mysql tables are empty. What we did wrong? :) Thanks Laszlo

[image: Inline image 1] Am I missing something here ? I assume I should be seeing 2 lines, 1 for / and 1 for /netflow as they are different disks. Or if this graph is supposed to represent / in total, it should be over 5GB.. Thanks for your time :) Ross.

Alert Conditions - Check Conditions
by Dave Strydom 23 Apr '16

23 Apr '16

Hi, I'm trying to setup an Alert for monitoring Fortigate Sessions. For testing I have a Check Condition of "fortigate_sessions gt 100" The issue I am finding is that the check is matching again percentage and not value. The fortigate has 200 sessions currently, so it should trigger the alert, but it doesn't because it seems to be monitoring percentage and the percentage is constantly 100% How do I check against the value of 200 instead of percentage? Regards, Dave

Geolocalisation resets after housekeeping
by Pascal Minery 21 Apr '16

21 Apr '16

Hi, After the last observium update, I started to see the following bug : - Manually entered location on devices is automaticaly replaced by it’s snmp value after the daily « /opt/observium/housekeeping.php -ya » trigered by cron. Here some log of a device : 2016-04-20 20:36:59 mgt-ac038.artecad.local Geolocation (GOOGLE) -> [33.697950, -111.986414] United States (Country), Arizona (State), Maricopa (County), Phoenix (City) 2016-04-20 20:36:59 mgt-ac038.artecad.local Location -> 'Expeditions' 2016-04-20 15:49:35 Port 1 Interface changed: [ifSpeed] '1000000000' -> '10000000'; [ifHighSpeed] '1000' -> '10'; [ifLastChange] '2016-04-20 06:57:47' -> '2016-04-20 15:49:33' 2016-04-20 08:27:17 mgt-ac038.artecad.local Geolocation (GOOGLE) -> [47.223503, 7.102975] Switzerland (Country), Canton of Bern (State), Courtelary (County), Tramelan (City) 2016-04-20 08:27:17 mgt-ac038.artecad.local Location -> 'Artecad SA, 2720 Tramelan' For the test, I forced again today the location and executed a housekeeping in a short time after : 2016-04-21 14:42:33 mgt-ac038.artecad.local Geolocation (GOOGLE) -> [33.697950, -111.986414] United States (Country), Arizona (State), Maricopa (County), Phoenix (City) 2016-04-21 14:42:32 mgt-ac038.artecad.local Location -> 'Expeditions' 2016-04-21 13:58:41 mgt-ac038.artecad.local Geolocation (GOOGLE) -> [40.139723, -111.405206] United States (Country), Utah (State), Utah (County), Springville (City) 2016-04-21 13:58:40 mgt-ac038.artecad.local Location -> 'test1' This is a new behaviour since the last update. The manual location should be forced and not modified by the snmp value. Can this be corrected ? Thank you.

libvirt config
by Jesper Frank Nemholt 21 Apr '16

21 Apr '16

Hi! I get this error when enabling libvirt. This is on a CentOS 7 with Qemu : ##### *Module Start: **virtual-machines* ##### Virtual machines: Libvirt VM: Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,password). Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,password). I have configured the following in config.php : $config['enable_libvirt'] = 1; # Enable Libvirt VM support $config['libvirt_protocols'] = array("qemu+ssh","xen+ssh"); # Mechanisms used, add or remove if not using this on any of your machines. What else is needed ? I assume either username/password or key based access, but does this have to be set for the user running the observium poller/discovery or elsewhere ? /Jesper

http-auth issue . [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]
by Peter.Hine＠familycourt.gov.au 21 Apr '16

21 Apr '16

I created a dev instance (CE: 0.16.1.7533 ) to investigate the wmi / win2k8 unknown processor issue. This correctly shows the processor but doesn't auto login with " AuthBasicFake guest guest" in the apache conf like the production one does. to setup : cp config.php.default config.php sed -i -e s:USERNAME:observium: -e s:PASSWORD:xxxxx: -e 's:"public":"xxxxxxxxx", "public":' config.php (added fping location and proxy info to config.php) ./discovery.php -u ./adduser.php admin xxxx 10 ./adduser.php guest guest 5 ./add_device.php $HOSTNAME going to https://observium.dev.gov.au, i can login as either guest or admin and see everything correctly. I added "AuthBasicFake guest guest" to the apache config and restarted apache. but it won't login automagically. I edited html/index.php and added the following at line 97 print_vars($_SERVER); this shows me that "AuthBasicFake" is working PHP_AUTH_USER=>guest PHP_AUTH_PW=>guest is there a step that i missed ??? thanks Peter Hine Senior Technical Support Engineer (Servers) FCoA ITS peter.hine(a)familycourt.gov.au ********************************************************************** The information contained in this e-mail (including any attachments) is for the exclusive use of the addressee.

problem with overall traffic view
by emilio brambilla 20 Apr '16

20 Apr '16

hello, I found a little problem (maybe not a bug, but I think is not so good). if I use "overall_traffic" aggregation (ie for peering) observium make a graph with stacking the traffic from all the ports with a description starting with a label (ie "peering:"), and it works ok. but if I modify a port (ie dismiss a peering, removing also the "peering:" label from the router interface) observium remove all the pregress traffic the old interface did from the 'peering' graph, so you lose part of the old stats :-( isn't it possible to have the overall_traffic collected in a dedicated rrd, use the sum of labelled interfaces for new data and use the rrd data for the old data in order to have a real historic data even if I change a port? thanks -- bye, emilio

Printer toner alert
by Attila Nagy 19 Apr '16

19 Apr '16

Hi All! I'm fairly new with the alerts, so don't hit me too hard. :) I'm trying to create an alert checker for some printers, it should send an alert when the toner level is below 5%. The associations seem OK, at least my Device Match rule "|type equals printer|" (with an "*" entity match) yields all the printers in Observium. But the condition rule seems suspect to me. Based on the documentation and the examples I wrote: |"supply_value lt 5%" |but it shows everything OK on all printers, despite of having at least 3 printers with 1% toner cartridge. Could you help me, what am I doing wrong, or what's missing? Btw: I'm using the latest CE version. Should I include some more information? Regards, Tylla

Dear all, I’d like to put a filter on “Recent Events” section of the dashboard, but I could not find any information regarding that. Now the section is too chatty, for example I see lots of these messages: Et140/1/48 Interface changed: [ifDuplex] '' -> ‘unknown’ or Et141/1/39 Interface changed: [ifDuplex] '' -> 'fullDuplex' But what I’d like to see is when an interface goes up and down, and hide not important messages if possible.
