pages slow, maybe nginx instead of apache
by Simon Smith 14 Jan '16

14 Jan '16

Hi All, I wanted a view on what people think about using nginx instead of apache for obsevium? ive just managed to change apache to nginx (had to change htaccess to get it to work, but got there in the end) and it seems a little bit quicker but not by much I’m having an issue where when the server is polling and i want a graph or load up the page, it seems slow and takes forever! ( about 10 seconds ) if I load the panel when its not polling, the pages are quick, but i poll every 5mins, and it takes the full 5 mins to poll all our devices, so really no room to wiggle... if the anyway i can speed this up? would nginx help at all? my server is virtual based, 12gb ram, 4 virtual xeon 2.2ghz cores, 80gb virtual hard drive regards Simon

Alert Checkers
by Matt Zillmann 13 Jan '16

13 Jan '16

Hello, I just purchased the subscription version and am looking into setting up Alert checkers. How do I get an alert checker to run? I was referring to documentation and looked the DEMO and it looks like the checker will determine a pass/fail. I have set one for storage [cid:image001.png@01D14DF5.9B1B9F20] Is there something else I need to put?

itsafeaturenotabug (was re: routing tab)
by Rob VanHooren 13 Jan '16

13 Jan '16

it’s not “broken” in the sense that CSCO officially considers multicontext snmp the “by-design” method (and I have the TAC cases to prove it). remember, snmp *works* which means it’s for grouchy old [grey|neck]beards. netconf & shiny-api-disaster-of-the-week are supposed to rule the new agile! world! of! devops! ( *gag* ) not just ASRs … for instance, it’s the same thing (multicontext snmp hell) with VRFs on n7k’s. so, it’s a “feature” not a “bug” smh R. > On Jan 13, 2016, at 07:00, observium-request(a)observium.org wrote: > > Because the MIB is broken and doesn?t have any concept of VRF awareness. > > The workaround that I used on my ASR9Ks was to create a different context for the VRF in question. > > This config example basically treats the vrf Inetv4 as the default vrf when polling with community blahpoo.

95th percent billing
by ChanTy 13 Jan '16

13 Jan '16

Hi, I just want to clarify the burstable rate calculation which should work as below according to wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burstable_billing#95th_percentile) : “ Bandwidth is measured (or sampled) from the switch or router and recorded in a log file. In most cases, this is done every 5 minutes. At the end of the month, the samples are sorted from highest to lowest, and the top 5% (which equal to approximately 36 hours of a 30-day billing cycle) of data is thrown away. The next highest measurement becomes the billable use for the entire month. “ Is observium applying the same calculation on BILLING feature ? Is it possible to download RAW file in which has sample of every 5 minutes ? Regards, chanty

Not receiving email notifications. Has there been a change in Alert system I need to know about?
by Richard Kuhns 11 Jan '16

11 Jan '16

Hello, I recently updated my Observium installation; I'm now running 0.16.1.7473. I haven't changed any configurations. I followed procedure, as far as I know: polling was finished, I did the 'svn up' followed by './discovery.php -u' and everything looked fine. However, I should have just received an email both when a port I'm monitoring went down, and about half an hour later when it recovered. Looking through the alert log, I see the entries that say 'Alert notification sent' followed later by 'Recovery notification sent'. I didn't receive either notification, there's nothing in the mail queue, and maillog doesn't show any attempts. This was working perfectly before my update. I'm afraid I don't remember which version that was, but it was from about a week before I saw comments in the mailing list about the change in layout on the front page.

Feature request

Just wondering how hard it would be to implement the following features, please le tme know if these already exist and I've just missed them! 1) Close window button on the hover popups. I think the pop ups are great but I find sometimes they don't disappear, a small X button on the top RH corner would be fantastic! 2) Adding AND and NOT to the Device/Entity filters It would be fantastic to have a little more flexibility in the filters used for Alerts and Groups etc. Would it be easy enough to be able to use AND and NOT statements?

Recent update beaks Rancid for Cisco ASAs
by David Wilkinson 08 Jan '16

08 Jan '16

Hi, We have recently updated our version and the generate rancid script is now using the wrong type for the Cisco ASA devices. The type used for the Cisco ASA should be "cisco", it has recently changed so it sets the type to be "asa" This causes rancid to fail with an unknown type. Can this be corrected? We are using rancid 3.1. Observium: 0.16.1.7396 (rolling) Regards David

SFP sensor alerts
by Martin 07 Jan '16

07 Jan '16

Hi All, What is the best way to suppress alerts for Transceiver TX Power generated when a port is admin-down? cisco-entity-sensor mib has a default minimum value of 1mA, which is a perfectly valid minimum value under normal "up/up" conditions, but if the port is admin-shut it will switch off tx power, which is ok for admin-shut. Same situation for RX-power. Is there a way to take the admin status of the port in account for this kind of sensor readings? (ASR9k, IOS-XR) Thanks, Martin

Port Errors Showing for Alert-Disabled ports
by Robert Williams 07 Jan '16

07 Jan '16

Hi, Not sure when it started, but we now seem to get “Port Error” alerts on the main page for ports which are set to have their Alerts disabled, for example: [cid:image001.jpg@01D1494E.A318C000] On the device in question, they are indeed ‘No’ under the Alerts toggle: [cid:image002.jpg@01D1494E.A318C000] There are a large number of ports like this on our network with IP PDUs and similar, all of which have 10M/Half links and exist in a state of near-constant input errors as a result. This is of no concern at all and should be ignored (hence the toggle). Any suggestions? Is the Alerts toggle broken (for this feature on the main page) or is there another way to shush these, it’s kind of making the main page list a bit defunct ☺ Cheers all!

UNIX agent Postgres versions
by Attila Nagy 06 Jan '16

06 Jan '16

Hi everyone! I was in the process of configuring the UNIX agent and I found (as written in the documentation too) that the script only supports Postgres version 9. But after experimenting a little bit I realized that the script works perfectly with the 8.4 version. I was able to test with an 8.3 which was working as well. So maybe the script should be changed to enable any 8.X version. Anyway I created a patch and attached it. If some of you find it helpful then maybe post the version which was working, so we can update the version string. Regards, Tylla

Problem adding devices after upgrading to 0.16.1.7393

Hi... Yesterday I upgraded my Observium to Version 0.16.1.7393 via svn. The "svn up" did follow an immediate "./discovery.php -u" and a flush of the browser cache. But when I try to add a device I get a somewhat incomplete screen. See attached screenshot. Is this a bug or did I do something wrong? Thanks for your help, Roland

Hi Adam... Thanks for your reply... I tried deleting the html folder plus svn up but it did not help... I am using FF43 and Chrome 47. I can reproduce it with both browsers... But I found a way now on getting the panel back! I reduced the browser window width to at least the half of my screen (I do have 1980x1200 resolution). Then bling it popus up. As soon as I make it wider than 50% it goes away. Reproduced it with FF and Chrome on windows. Looks indeed like a CSS issue.

by Basile Bluntschli 05 Jan '16

05 Jan '16

Hi Team I have several customers which have their own login to see their particular bill. Since a few days I can add a Bill to a User and it persists. But if I check again in the morning, the User does not have this permission anymore. However access to interfaces still works. Thanks Basile

Re: [Observium] TenG port shows up as 1g

So after looking at this more this interface is a back plane connected to an ASA firewall module, and snmp just reports these things improperly :/ What is the best way to ignore this interface for traffic usage alert checks?

Re: [Observium] Fortinet Fortigate wireless support
by Michael Cushard 04 Jan '16

Hi, Fortinet Fortigates are currently supported in Observium. However, the wireless controller functionality of the Fortigates is currently not graphed. Walking the MIBs show all the wireless data (Access points, clients, errors, bandwidth, S/N ratios) to have corresponding OIDs. Can this be information be implemented and graphed within Observium?

VMware ESXI 6 - False Errors
by Daniel Bray 04 Jan '16

04 Jan '16

We have recently upgraded our test environment from VMware ESXi 5.5 to 6.0. After the upgrade, we are seeing an issue where errors are getting reported on the vmk1 - vmk5 (VMkernel) ports that are connected to distributed switches for SAN access. However, there are no errors (none reported in vSphere nor the SAN). It seems to be a SNMP issue, possibly. We have a near identical production environment that is still running VMware ESXI 5.5, and the similar ESXi hosts are not showing these errors in Observium. This is a completely separate network, with a different Observium server, however both are running similar installs, and patched to the latest Professional version. We have verified using normal snmp commands that everything seems to be working as expected. We have deleted and re-added the ESXi hosts. Issue remains, but only on the vmk ports that are connected to distributed switches. The normal vmnic (vSwitch for management VLAN) show no errors. I've checked the mailing list and Googled this issue for a bit, but not finding anything similar to our issue. Anybody else running Observium with ESXi 6.0 and notice an issue with false Error reports on vmk ports? Any suggestions on what else to try? We have compared everything in the working production environment to the broken test environment, and the only thing we can come up with is that it is an issue with ESXi 6.0 and how it is responding to the Observium SNMP requests. Any guidance or direction would be appreciated. Thanks, -DB

Frontpage questions
by Jason Lixfeld 04 Jan '16

04 Jan '16

Hi, The default frontpage with an empty array in the config.php ($config['frontpage']['order'] = array(‘’);) still shows some stuff depending on the width of the browser window. I assume a blanked out array would show nothing at all on the front page, so maybe the presence of these artifacts are a bug (see attached images)? Secondly, is it possible to have the front page only be a front page, removing the title bar as well and only showing the contents of the frontage order array? In that case, I would presume the front page would be some sort of a special URL http://$obsevium/frontpage so you don’t get locked out? My intention is to use the frontpage as a super clean NOC screen mounted on a wall. Anyone who saw an alert would login to Observium through their own workstation if they needed a deeper dive. Thanks!

How long until removed ports are deleted?
by Ron Marosko 01 Jan '16

01 Jan '16

Happy New Year, all ya’ll Observium folks. So while everyone else is on holiday, I’m getting to do work. And this brought up an interesting question. I’m mostly removing old/unutilized 10/100/1000 line cards from a Catalyst 6509 today, and in a couple cases installing 10Gb linecards. Right now, I’ve already pulled three linecards from one chassis, and decided to force some discovery/polling of the chassis to see if the old ports will go away… and they haven’t. Doing a “show modules” on the switch confirms the line cards have been removed, but in the device port properties page, Observium still considers them “disabled / down”. Manually running the housekeeping script with the –p option says there are no ports to delete, even when I have manually gone into config.php and set the time duration to be really short (like 1*1 instead of 30*86400). Which brings me to the question… how long does it take for Observium to consider a port or ports “deleted” after it has been removed from the chassis?

Morning all. Pretty new to Observium so I need to ask some questions, as I am under a little time pressure. A bump to the correct doc's will also be appreciated. First server I would like to do is an ELK collector. Ubuntu 14.04 Logstash Rabbitmq Observium unix_agent Now how do I integrate this into my Observium monitoring? unix_agent plugin? I want to monitor things like exchanges, queues and such like. Found this(for zabbix) that I can use to get my rabbitmq stats. Thanx a lot, after the first one I will be able to handle it myself :D Steff Stefaans Mostert Contractor: Linux System Administrator Tel: +27 11 459 1804 Fax: +27 11 459 1872 Website:http://www.grindrodbank.co.za Fourth Floor, Grindrod Tower, 8A Protea Place, Sandton PO Box 78011, Sandton, 2146

Collectd ping plugin graph issue
by Senses0 30 Dec '15

30 Dec '15

Hi, I have collectd configured in Observium and pretty much all the plugins I tried work. There is an issue rendering one graph generated by ping plugin though. Say, I'm measuring latency to "netflix.com". After measurements, the plugin sends following 3 RRD files to Observium - ping-netflix.com.rrd - ping_stddev-netflix.com.rrd - ping_droprate-netflix.com.rrd While observium renders stddev and droprate graphs, it doesn't render "ping-netflix.com.rrd". RRD command produces below error. "RRDTool Output: ERROR: No DS called 'ping' in '/opt/collectd-rrd/server-f04/ping/ping-netflix.com.rrd'" RRD dump has "value" as DS name in *ALL* 3 rrd files (as opposed to "ping"). For some reason, Observium doesn't use the correct DS name for the first file.

storage wrong on ubuntu 14.04
by Simon Smith 29 Dec '15

29 Dec '15

Hi All, I’m just wondering if any one has the same issue I’m having im monitoring a ubuntu 14.04 container running vpn software for some reason the storage in observium is showing /run, /run/lock, /run/shm, /run/user, /sys/fs/cgroup and completely missing / i use the unix-agent to get extra info out and i can see in there the following <<<df>>> /var/lib/vz/private/105 simfs 10485760 1307760 9178000 13% / none devtmpfs 1048576 4 1048572 1% /dev <<<mounts>>> /dev/simfs / simfs rw,relatime 0 0 so i don’t understand why its not showing the / mount ? i currently also monitor a ubuntu 12.04 container and that shows the storage correctly ? is it the SNMP thats the issue? or any other ideas? regards Simon

Revert to previous UI template/theme
by Vaggelis Koutroumpas 29 Dec '15

29 Dec '15

Hello, After upgrading to rev 7360 the whole UI has changed drastically. I have to admit I do not like the new UI layout. My screen resolution is 1920*1080. Resizing the browser window down to ~1870px width or less then I get the old layout. Is there a way to revert to the previous template? I guess it should be a matter of editing some CSS to change that? Thank you.

WMI information display broken?

I actually have WMI polling working with my implementation, and once upon a time the information learned via WMI would be displayed on the (workstation, server) display.

MikroTik CCR interface graphs show lower throughput
by Alasdair MacLeod 24 Dec '15

24 Dec '15

Hi Guys, I just started using Observium. Everything looks great except our CCRs are showing much lower throughput on the interfaces than they are actually passing. One interface is passing a fairly consistent 300-400Mbps but Observium graphs it as 100-130Mbps. Cacti graphs the same interface on the same device correctly so I don't think it's the router, I think I must have set something up incorrectly within Observium. Any pointers on this would be great.

Storage check entity
by Brad Bendy 24 Dec '15

24 Dec '15

Hi, Ive googled and not seen the answer to this. Can I check only a certain partition in the entity section? Also, if I use the storage_used or storage_free is that in megabytes, gigabytes, kilobytes, etc? I don't see any examples, it seems everyone is using the percent one but I have a single partition I want to check based on size since it's very large and percentage would be a huge variable. Thanks
