After SVN update all my devices show down
by Aaron Hite 12 Feb '16

12 Feb '16

Guys, need some assistance here. I updated Observium this morning to Observium Professional 0.16.2.7609. Since that upgrade all my devices have shown down. If I go to the command line I am able to ping via DNS all the devices. I did notice that during the svn update it seemed that a lot of the MIB’s were updated. Any guidance on what direction I should be looking to bring my system back online? Thanks, Aaron

Hello team, in Cisco IOS like 3750, Observium shows PSE/PoE Power status but in Cisco SB no, i try add Custom OID and working, can you add support PoE for Cisco SB to default in template?

FreeBSD port update / "red" draw errors
by Dirk-Willem van Gulik 12 Feb '16

12 Feb '16

As discussed back in June — http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.network.observium.general/10286 - this issue also affects FreeBSD. Mathieu Arnold contributed a fix (https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=207057) which, together with a few other small patches & cleanups has been merged into the FreeBSD ports collection a few hours ago. May be an idea to apply this patch (below) to HEAD; I suspect there is a similar issue in generic_multi_data_separated.

Cisco Port Errors Alerts
by Gagandeep Mann 11 Feb '16

11 Feb '16

We are monitoring Cisco routers using Observium We have seen that the list of Errored Ports displays only ports that have "Tx/Rx Errors" on them - it is not displaying ports which have "Tx/Rx Discards". The Custom Alerts documentation also does not mention any way to check Interface Discards separately, We have tried adding ifOutDiscards_rate, but it does not work. Is there any way to achieve this.

Brocade Virtual Fabrics
by Ole Hansen 11 Feb '16

11 Feb '16

Hello, We’re using Brocade FC-switches with virtual fabrics. According to http://community.brocade.com/t5/Fibre-Channel-SAN/Looking-for-monitor-virtu… <http://community.brocade.com/t5/Fibre-Channel-SAN/Looking-for-monitor-virtu…> using snmpv3 and “context” I should be able to monitor ports in each context. Is this supported in Observium? Setting a specific context for snmpv3. As far as I know, it’s only possible to add a device once, if it has the same IP - how would i monitor the different contexts? — Ole Hansen

Cisco 6500 PSU with 1xAC fault
by Robert Williams 10 Feb '16

10 Feb '16

Hi, Does anyone know if there is a way to detect a failed AC input on a 6500 PSU when the PSU has dual inputs? I've just noticed that when one of the inputs is removed from each PSU there is no indication in Observium that anything is wrong at all. At the CLI you can see the status changes to AC LOW. For example, below I have removed one of the AC inputs from power supply No.2 #show environment status power-supply 1: power-supply 1 fan-fail: OK power-supply 1 power-input: AC high power-supply 1 power-output-mode: high power-supply 1 incompatible with fan: OK power-supply 1 power-output-fail: OK power-supply 2: power-supply 2 fan-fail: OK power-supply 2 power-input: AC low power-supply 2 power-output-mode: low power-supply 2 incompatible with fan: OK power-supply 2 power-output-fail: OK You also get a reduction in the 'capacity' of the PSU, as shown below: #show power Power-Capacity PS-Fan Output Oper PS Type Watts A @42V Status Status State ---- ------------------ ------- ------ ------ ------ ----- 1 WS-CAC-6000W 5771.64 137.42 OK OK on 2 WS-CAC-6000W 2671.20 63.60 OK OK on Nothing that I can see in Observium shows any of this information so there is nothing for me to Threshold on. Anyone hit this already and come up with a way of doing it? Or is there an OID for the AC Low/High status which can perhaps be added for Observium to see? Cheers!

Port names for D-Link 'smart' switches
by Dirk-Willem van Gulik 10 Feb '16

10 Feb '16

Minor feature suggestion for the D-LINK switches. As, iin Observium, one cannot change the port description, you need to rely on being able to set those in the switches (e.g. when you want to use Peering, Transit and other trickery). On D-LINK ifName contains a generated Slot0/1 … Slot0/28, etc. These cannot be changed. However at .1.3.6.1.4.1.171.10.76.21.1.1.16.1.2 (DGS series) .1.3.6.1.4.1.171.10.75.15.2.1.14.1.3 (DES series) and so on - there is a always a table with a sysPortDescString : $ snmptranslate -Tp -M+`pwd`:d-link -m+DES-1210-28MEbx .1.3.6.1.4.1.171.10.75.15.2.1.14.1.3 +-- -RW- String sysPortDescString(3) Textual Convention: DisplayString Size: 0..32 I.e. in the private enterprise MIBs for the various DGS/DES switches there is a sysPortDescString that can be set by the user through the file/SDN or web interfaces. Example of the output below. May be useful to pick up.

Random NetMan UPS sensors appeared
by Robert Williams 09 Feb '16

Hi, Our daily discovery has just found a load of (invalid) new sensors on all our various Riello NetMan cards everywhere, easiest to show the image below. Basically, it seems to find various infratec-rms sensors, whatever they are? Obviously they don't exist on these devices, so we suddenly got a load of alarms from each UPS for each of the "failed" sensors: Running 7575 - Any ideas? Cheers!

Hello everyone, We are trying out Observium CE, now seriously considering the subscription, and really love the interface and functionality of the application. One requirement we have is being able to access this information from a mobile device, such as iPhone. I have been searching online, unable to find any information about this topic. Does anyone know of a solution to this, or is there an existing template, app or product that can interface with Observium? Beautiful piece of software. Much thanks for any suggestions or insight. ~ Laz Peterson Paravis, LLC

We'd like to alert when any of our APC UPS'es output status is not "online" I see an alert check type is "status" but I'm not sure what to use for the other settings. Right now we have a UPS in hardware bypass due to a bad inverter (ugh) and the status entry says "event alert, status hardwareFailureBypass".

Graph presentation page - leaving it up for a long period
by Dirk-Willem van Gulik 08 Feb '16

08 Feb '16

During observing a team using observium coming from one of the similar competing platforms; noticed a fair bit of confusion as to what updates and what not. Mostly during ‘dive ins’ when something post incident was ‘kept an eye on’ for the ensuing 3-6 hours; including across work-shift related handovers. The issue is which pages auto-refresh - and which not. And I think the only place where it jars is at the date selection/update buttoned pages. Specifically - when you look at the detailed graph; i.e. on: http://10.11.0.132/graphs/to=1454928724/id=7287/type=sensor_graph/from=1454… Having gotten there from an overview page such as: http://10.11.0.132/device/device=722/tab=health/metric=temperature/id= 7287/ it shows right away as a most recent 24 hour ‘date preset’. The user then sees this page nicely reload every N minutes (as confirmed in the top right of the page). And an experienced ops-hand will track that from the corner of his/her eye - and ignore it the instant the graph stays ‘sane’. BUT in reality the date preset does not track - it is just the 6/24/48h/week/month/year tiny graphs at the top that get updated. And that is easy to miss. So two small UX things suggestions: 1) Would it be possible if, left unattended after, to start rolling with the time; updating the date presets bar when it was never touched in the first place. OR once it was shown for 2-3 minutes - highlight something in the Date preset bar to signal the data is out of date — e.g. have the Update/reload button on the far right be highlighted; i.e. signal an update is possible/due/needed. OR perhaps in combination with a pause/play button very OBVIOUSLY set to ‘pause’ as a more generic idea. 2) Since the preset shown there is in effect the second preset from the 6, 24, 48, one week bare above it - may be nice to indicate this - i.e. that the preset has been filled out in this mode. Dw.

syslog not working for one server
by Patrick Marquetecken 07 Feb '16

07 Feb '16

Hi, I have syslog working for more then 10 hosts but, for one I can’t get it to work. This server is not in the same location, it sent its log through a vpn tunnel, when it arrives at the router I do a natting: Just forward to the observium server. I see the ump traffic arriving but notting show up in the syslog (database) We can monitor the server without any problems. anyone a suggestion ? Thanks

Extracting port names from D-Link switches - feature parity
by Dirk-Willem van Gulik 06 Feb '16

06 Feb '16

In observium we cannot, AFAIUI from the UI, overwrite the various switch port names. Observium relies on the port names getting set ‘right’ on the agent side. However - having control over the name is useful e.g. for peering/ transit link regex()ing and what not. Unfortunately not all switches allow for this (for some reason, it seems to be mostly enterprise POE switches). One vendor that does not allow this is D-Link; their ifNames are hardcoded to Slot/0, Port0.0 or the empty string on some (most recent?) product lines. However they do allow the editing of the sysPortDescString in their private enterprise MIB (through config, API, SNMP or the web interface). Below is a small file diff that makes this possible. It is a bit inefficient; as doing it at discovery time is not enough; ifName is watched by the port poller —and I cannot see an easy place to make a ‘note’ of the expensively found OID. But may be of use as a starting point for some.

definitions.dat and sensor_types
by Dirk-Willem van Gulik 06 Feb '16

06 Feb '16

We have a tiny sensor/discovery module (gist below) that picks up the (back)pressure, in Bar, of a cooling system. However when we add below to config.php: $config['sensor_types']['pressure']['symbol']='B'; $config['sensor_types']['pressure']['text']='Pressure'; $config['sensor_types']['pressure']['icon']=‘oicon-omega’; it seems that these values are wiped/overwritten by the values from definitions.dat. What, or perhaps, where, is the proper way to add these ? Thanks, Dw. <?php /* — Fetch backpressure on various P, C and I flows. dirkx(at)apache.org */ $oids = snmpwalk_cache_multi_oid($device, “backPressureTable", array(), “DANFLOSS-MIB"); foreach ($oids as $index => $entry) { $label = $entry[‘backPressureLabel']; $descr = $entry[‘backPressureDescr’]; // The older units have just a count - prefix with the label (firmware issue on the pump itself, // cannot be remedied through the puppet/config-deploy). // if (strlen($descr) < 3) { $descr = "$label $descr”; }; $type = ‘pressure'; foreach(array(‘backPressureTop', 'backPressureEgress','backPressureCompressure') as $field) { $oid = snmp_translate($field.'.'.$index, "DANFLOSS-MIB"); $value = $entry[ $field ]; $divisor = $entry[ $field.'Divisor' ]; if (!$divisor) $divisor = 1; if (is_numeric($value)) { /* Longer term - these prolly should go in one custom graph - rather than three */ discover_sensor($valid['sensor'], $type, $device, $oid, "$field.$index", ‘danfloss', $descr.'

FreeBSD ports - Observium CE update to
by Dirk-Willem van Gulik 05 Feb '16

05 Feb '16

Folks, The FreeBSD port has been updated to Observium CE 0.16.1.7533; along with a whole bunch of extra/updated dependencies. This also makes the migration/activation to the professional version pretty much a ‘drop in’ now & makes the polling more efficient. SNMP internal mode is expressly disabled (it seems to suffer from the same issue as on fedora - some substitution issue). Thanks, Dw.

Hi Team, I upgraded recently (a couple of times this week) and just reported that the ARP/NDP Table part of observium doesn’t load. Nothing errors in the apache error log. When I run poller.php manually, it does pull the information also. Please support, let me know what's needs to take care. Many Thanks, Madhu

Small feature suggestion - ports/brew/dpkg/etc collections
by Dirk-Willem van Gulik 04 Feb '16

04 Feb '16

Couple of small feature suggestions - Would be nice if we could rely on a http://www.observium.org/observium-0.16.1.7533.tar.gz in parallel to the standard http://www.observium.org/observium-community-latest.tar.gz for the varius dpkg/debian/freebd/brew port collections. - Would be nice if the block in defaults.inc.php with: // Location of executables $config['rrdtool'] = "/usr/local/bin/rrdtool”; ……. $config['file'] = "/usr/bin/file”; could be overwridden by a <ROOTDIR>/config.os.php - and perhaps itself live separate from the defaults. As this allows a puppet/ansible/chef recipe (or the various ports collections) to manage this file as an OS specific thing; and keep the per system configs strictly in config.php. Making the latter the only thing to preserve across migrations (and not having to cross check it for OS specific ‘new’ things). With more and more people using things like vagrant/docker/etc - that sort of abstraction becomes useful. Dw.

Single box scalability/sizing?
by Steve Costaras 04 Feb '16

04 Feb '16

We currently have ~500 devices/50,000 ports being monitored on a dual cpu E5-2643 v0 system. It's currently running around 80% cpu (all cores w/ hyper-threading) and on a raid-10 16 drive array (sas 2.5" 10K rpm) which averages 1k iops. Most systems are polled in < 5minutes (with about 5-10 taking longer as they're fully loaded boxes). Looking to plan for future growth, I'm trying to see if anyone is running larger installations and their performance on a single box in trying to gauge if it's worthwhile to spend the $$ to upgrade to a newer V3 cpu system, or if we've effectively reached a single-point saturation limit and have to deploy distributed. I.e. do we have anyone here running say 1500 devices or 150,000 - 200,000 ports on a single system? If so, care to share your specs? Thanks. Steve

Hi guys, I have a question regarding custom OIDs feature: current approach is to have an OID and combine its values pulled from multiple hosts into one graph. Is (or will be) opposite approach possible - to combine multiple OIDs values pulled from the same host into one graph? Thanks! Regards, Pawel

Feature or bug -- 0.16.1.7533 version - naming of connected port of known device reverts to Mac address.
by Dirk-Willem van Gulik 03 Feb '16

03 Feb '16

In below devices/port display - we get for Slot0/21 the connected “port” on “device”. - i.e. eth0 on Ypenburg. However for Slot0/24 we get ’10’ on <macaddress>. Even though that actual port is called ‘Slot0/10’ on ‘Fooburg’ and known to Observium. Not sure if this is intentional - or the side effect from some LLCP discovery process gone awry. Dw.

cdp neighbor and mac address questions
by Randy Mahurin 02 Feb '16

02 Feb '16

Hello, I've just completed a new install of Observium, version 0.16.1.7535 (27th January 2016), and have a couple of questions in hopes that someone can point me to the correct debugging process. 1) The mac address information on the port is of the port itself, rather than the connected device. We are strictly Cisco in our switching, most are 2960 variety with some 3750 and 3850 mixed in. I see in the demo software, the mac address on the port pages shows that of the client. Also, several months ago, we ran a small version of Observium (since decommissioned) and the client mac populated. 2) Auto discovery based on CDP seems really sporadic, several neighbors will be added, but some will not. SNMP settings are the same across the board and CDP discovered neighbors can be added manually without issue. Is there any chance someone has come across these before? Thank you -- Randy Mahurin Office of Information Technology Boise State University 1910 University Drive, Boise, ID, 83725-1249 Phone: (208) 426-4003

Some questions regarding Observium
by Jens.Altrock＠STADT-NW.DE 02 Feb '16

02 Feb '16

Hey guys, Have some questions I haven't found answers yet :-/ 1. Read about someone requesting checking and alerting of (os) services, is this already implemented or will it be? 2. Any chance to get to know about new community versions? Couldn't find something on website :-/ 3. Some of our switches have kind of leaks in their graphiocs (see pic on mail, from an ATI 8000GS/24POE). Not sure where this comes from, any ideas? Maybe any debug ideas? Haven't found any special events in Eventlog (except some SNMP down/up errors) Thanks fort he help, and sorry if questions are a bit dumb.

Observium impact on Juniper CPUs
by Raphael Maunier 02 Feb '16

02 Feb '16

Folks, Just sharing experience using Observium and Juniper EX / MX equipments. I exchanged with Adam and Juniper tac about some issues on some EX4550 having CPU at 100% with no result in solving the issue with a log of tweak in Observium / Junos . I changed the server 3 days ago, faster stronger better :) And voila , CPU dropped on all devices, with the same config.php ! The previous one was not a small server ( aka VM ) but the vm was not as strong as this one. I only had the issue with Juniper equipment not with cisco / Arista . So if you are facing the same issue ( and I exchanged with a few of you ) , you know what to do :) Raphael PS : I still have some EX4550 deleting interfaces from time to time, but I will open another thread !

RRD failures

Howdy, Recently RRD graphs (created by Smokeping) have stopped working. The RRD files are still there and being generated. They display correctly in Smokeping. config.php is unchanged and correct. &debug=1 or a particular setting gives me RRD CMD[%ygraph —daemon unix:/var/run/rrdcached.sock /tmp/cYlMIYCEzB411tYX.png -Y --lower-limit 0 --alt-autoscale-max --rigid --start 1454281028 --end 1454367428 --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:' RTT Loss SDev RTT\:SDev\l' DEF:median0=/var/lib/smokeping/Observium/10_30_90_100.rrd:median:AVERAGE CDEF:dm0=median0,UN,0,median0,IF DEF:loss0=/var/lib/smokeping/Observium/10_30_90_100.rrd:loss:AVERAGE CDEF:ploss0=loss0,20,/,100,* DEF:pin0p1=/var/lib/smokeping/Observium/10_30_90_100.rrd:ping1:AVERAGE CDEF:p0p1=pin0p1,UN,0,pin0p1,IF DEF:pin0p2=/var/lib/smokeping/Observium/10_30_90_100.rrd:ping2:AVERAGE CDEF:p0p2=pin0p2,UN,0,pin0p2,IF DEF:pin0p3=/var/lib/smokeping/Observium/10_30_90_100.rrd:ping3:AVERAGE CDEF:p0p3=pin0p3,UN,0,pin0p3,IF DEF:pin0p4=/var/lib/smokeping/Observium/10_30_90_100.rrd:ping4:AVERAGE CDEF:p0p4=pin0p4,UN,0,pin0p4,IF DEF:pin0p5=/var/lib/smokeping/Observium/10_30_90_100.rrd:ping5:AVERAGE CDEF:p0p5=pin0p5,UN,0,pin0p5,IF DEF:pin0p6=/var/lib/smokeping/Observium/10_30_90_100.rrd:ping6:AVERAGE CDEF:p0p6=pin0p6,UN,0,pin0p6,IF DEF:pin0p7=/var/lib/smokeping/Observium/10_30_90_100.rrd:ping7:AVERAGE CDEF:p0p7=pin0p7,UN,0,pin0p7,IF DEF:pin0p8=/var/lib/smokeping/Observium/10_30_90_100.rrd:ping8:AVERAGE CDEF:p0p8=pin0p8,UN,0,pin0p8,IF DEF:pin0p9=/var/lib/smokeping/Observium/10_30_90_100.rrd:ping9:AVERAGE CDEF:p0p9=pin0p9,UN,0,pin0p9,IF DEF:pin0p10=/var/lib/smokeping/Observium/10_30_90_100.rrd:ping10:AVERAGE CDEF:p0p10=pin0p10,UN,0,pin0p10,IF DEF:pin0p11=/var/lib/smokeping/Observium/10_30_90_100.rrd:ping11:AVERAGE CDEF:p0p11=pin0p11,UN,0,pin0p11,IF DEF:pin0p12=/var/lib/smokeping/Observium/10_30_90_100.rrd:ping12:AVERAGE CDEF:p0p12=pin0p12,UN,0,pin0p12,IF DEF:pin0p13=/var/lib/smokeping/Observium/10_30_90_100.rrd:ping13:AVERAGE CDEF:p0p13=pin0p13,UN,0,pin0p13,IF DEF:pin0p14=/var/lib/smokeping/Observium/10_30_90_100.rrd:ping14:AVERAGE CDEF:p0p14=pin0p14,UN,0,pin0p14,IF DEF:pin0p15=/var/lib/smokeping/Observium/10_30_90_100.rrd:ping15:AVERAGE CDEF:p0p15=pin0p15,UN,0,pin0p15,IF DEF:pin0p16=/var/lib/smokeping/Observium/10_30_90_100.rrd:ping16:AVERAGE CDEF:p0p16=pin0p16,UN,0,pin0p16,IF DEF:pin0p17=/var/lib/smokeping/Observium/10_30_90_100.rrd:ping17:AVERAGE CDEF:p0p17=pin0p17,UN,0,pin0p17,IF DEF:pin0p18=/var/lib/smokeping/Observium/10_30_90_100.rrd:ping18:AVERAGE CDEF:p0p18=pin0p18,UN,0,pin0p18,IF DEF:pin0p19=/var/lib/smokeping/Observium/10_30_90_100.rrd:ping19:AVERAGE CDEF:p0p19=pin0p19,UN,0,pin0p19,IF DEF:pin0p20=/var/lib/smokeping/Observium/10_30_90_100.rrd:ping20:AVERAGE CDEF:p0p20=pin0p20,UN,0,pin0p20,IF CDEF:pings0=20,p0p1,UN,p0p2,UN,+,p0p3,UN,+,p0p4,UN,+,p0p5,UN,+,p0p6,UN,+,p0p7,UN,+,p0p8,UN,+,p0p9,UN,+,p0p10,UN,+,p0p11,UN,+,p0p12,UN,+,p0p13,UN,+,p0p14,UN,+,p0p15,UN,+,p0p16,UN,+,p0p17,UN,+,p0p18,UN,+,p0p19,UN,+,p0p20,UN,+,- CDEF:m0=p0p1,p0p2,+,p0p3,+,p0p4,+,p0p5,+,p0p6,+,p0p7,+,p0p8,+,p0p9,+,p0p10,+,p0p11,+,p0p12,+,p0p13,+,p0p14,+,p0p15,+,p0p16,+,p0p17,+,p0p18,+,p0p19,+,p0p20,+,pings0,/ CDEF:sdev0=p0p1,m0,-,DUP,*,p0p2,m0,-,DUP,*,+,p0p3,m0,-,DUP,*,+,p0p4,m0,-,DUP,*,+,p0p5,m0,-,DUP,*,+,p0p6,m0,-,DUP,*,+,p0p7,m0,-,DUP,*,+,p0p8,m0,-,DUP,*,+,p0p9,m0,-,DUP,*,+,p0p10,m0,-,DUP,*,+,p0p11,m0,-,DUP,*,+,p0p12,m0,-,DUP,*,+,p0p13,m0,-,DUP,*,+,p0p14,m0,-,DUP,*,+,p0p15,m0,-,DUP,*,+,p0p16,m0,-,DUP,*,+,p0p17,m0,-,DUP,*,+,p0p18,m0,-,DUP,*,+,p0p19,m0,-,DUP,*,+,p0p20,m0,-,DUP,*,+,pings0,/,SQRT CDEF:dmlow0=dm0,sdev0,2,/,- CDEF:s2d0=sdev0 CDEF:ploss_all=0,ploss0,+,1,/ CDEF:dm_all=0,dm0,+,1,/ CDEF:sd_all=0,s2d0,+,1,/ CDEF:dmlow_all=dm_all,sd_all,2,/,- AREA:dmlow_all AREA:sd_all#AAAAAA::STACK LINE1:dm_all#CC0000:'Average ' VDEF:avmed=dm_all,AVERAGE VDEF:avsd=sd_all,AVERAGE CDEF:msr=dm_all,POP,avmed,avsd,/ VDEF:avmsr=msr,AVERAGE GPRINT:avmed:'%5.1lf%ss' GPRINT:ploss_all:AVERAGE:'%5.1lf%%' GPRINT:avsd:'%5.1lf%Ss' GPRINT:avmsr:'%5.1lf%s\l'%n] × RRD RUNTIME[0.0471s] RRD STDOUT[ERROR: rrdc_flush (/var/lib/smokeping/Observium/10_30_90_100.rrd) failed with status -1.] RRD_STATUS[FALSE] The path listed above is correct. e.g. $ ls -al /var/lib/smokeping/Observium/10_30_90_100.rrd -rw-r—r— 1 smokeping smokeping 2986808 Feb 1 16:01 /var/lib/smokeping/Observium/10_30_90_100.rrd I did some googling and found that rrdc is for RRD Cache which I was running. I had installed it per http://blog.best-practice.se/2014/10/using-rrdcached-with-observium.html I’ve apt-get purge rrdcache, commented out the config.php entry, rebooted, and now I have no graphs (but I do have .rrd files). I’m wondering if anyone could give me some pointers as to where to go next. Thanks, Joey
