toggles and pop ups have stopped working

Hello We've recently updated Observium (now 0.15.12.7230) and enabled SSH and the on/off switches are not being shown and the date popups don't work. If I browse to it on http it seems to be fine. I've checked the apache config and it looks identical, any thoughts? Thanks SHANE lE <mailto:shanson@istar.net.nz> shanson(a)istar.net.nz lW <https://istar.net.nz/> istar.net.nz lA PO Box 911507, Victoria St West, Auckland lM +64 21 623 903

UNIX Agent
by Alex Winder ＠ M5i 05 Dec '15

05 Dec '15

Hi all, I'm currently trying to get the UNIX agent for Observium working with some of our hosts so that we can obtain more data for applications, primarily NGINX. We are now seeing data on the agent execution time graph. We are getting responses from the Observium host to the NGINX host via Telnet, and receiving information about NGINX. We are getting the NGINX status information through Lynx on the localhost. We are using the following configs. /etc/xinetd.d/observium_agent_xinetd service observium_agent { type = UNLISTED port = 36602 socket_type = stream protocol = tcp wait = no user = root server = /usr/bin/observium_agent # configure the IPv[4|6] address(es) of your Observium server here: only_from = [IPs removed] 127.0.0.1 ::1 # Don't be too verbose. Don't log every check. This might be # commented out for debugging. If this option is commented out # the default options will be used for this service. log_on_success = disable = no } /usr/lib/observium_agent/local/nginx !/usr/bin/env python import urllib2 import re data = urllib2.urlopen('http://localhost/nginx-status').read() params = {} for line in data.split("\n"): smallstat = re.match(r"\s?Reading:\s(.*)\sWriting:\s(.*)\sWaiting:\s(.*)$", line) req = re.match(r"\s+(\d+)\s+(\d+)\s+(\d+)", line) if smallstat: params["Reading"] = smallstat.group(1) params["Writing"] = smallstat.group(2) params["Waiting"] = smallstat.group(3) elif req: params["Requests"] = req.group(3) else: pass dataorder = [ "Active", "Reading", "Writing", "Waiting", "Requests" ] print "<<<nginx>>>\n"; for param in dataorder: if param == "Active": Active = int(params["Reading"]) + int(params["Writing"]) + int(params["Waiting"]) print Active else: print params[param] /etc/nginx/sites-automatic/localhost.conf server { listen 80; listen [::]:80; server_name localhost; server_name_in_redirect off; charset utf-8; log_not_found on; access_log /var/log/nginx/localhost_combined-access.log combined buffer=128k flush=5m; error_log /var/log/nginx/localhost_error.log; location / { root /local-storage/localhost/nginx-hosted/public_html; } location /nginx-status { stub_status on; access_log off; allow 127.0.0.1; allow ::1; deny all; } } Any help with this would be much appreciated. Where can we expect to see logs? Any tips on how we can resolve this? Regards, Alex.

monitor tmpfs storage
by Simon Smith 04 Dec '15

04 Dec '15

Hi All, just moved our RRDs to tmpfs storage, and WOW I noticed a speed difference, not only in the graphs, but also in the IO load should of looked at http://observium.org/docs/persistent_ramdisk/ in the past DOH! however i’ve just noticed the observium isn’t showing it as a storage mount? can observium monitor actually monitor it at all ? also I’ve set my limit at 10GB as the server has 12GB of RAM, and the RRD folder is currently at 6.8GB bit of a stupid question but what happens if I’m close to the limit? as i knackered? more RAM server? regards Simon - Hestor Ltd

Alert Threshold for CBQoS drops
by Robert Williams 04 Dec '15

04 Dec '15

Hi, Is it possible to have alert elements/metrics which use data collected from CBQoS, like drops for example? Reason for request - we would like to get alerting for certain types of port (CORE for example) where QoS is performing drops. Currently (in another system) we poll a global statistic which gives us the 'total' number of drops per chassis or LC, but this does nothing more than point towards a chassis or line-card. A human then have to pick their way through the CBQoS stats to try to see where it was (if it was big), which very time consumptive. The statistics and framework all appear to be in place within Observium, just need to know if there are some metric conditions which can use CBQoS as a trigger, like ifCBQoSDrops_rate > 10 for example? So, is this already possible? Or should I make a feature request? Cheers all! Robert Williams Custodian Data Centre Email: Robert(a)CustodianDC.com http://www.CustodianDC.com

Everything is DOWN after svn UP :-)
by Gabriel Zamorski 04 Dec '15

04 Dec '15

Hello, Yesterday after upgrading observium (like everyday morning) we got hundreds of alerts. It seems that observium could not connect to any machine using SNMP - I checked this from console via ./poller.php and every server was unreachable, so I had to rollback to the earlier revision. Do you know anything about this? Regards, G.

CBQOS does not appear to work under NX-OS
by Stephen Fulton 04 Dec '15

04 Dec '15

Hi there, I have a Cisco Nexus 7k running the NX-OS 6.2 train, and I've noticed that while Observium picks up on CBQOS for interfaces, there is no data being graphed. Observium does detect the class-maps/policy-maps, but no results in the graphs. There are errors on one port that should be picked up, but I'm not seeing it reflected. What can be done? BTW, I'm using the subscription version, latest stable (0.15.11.7203). -- Stephen

Zenoss Integration Sync
by Rudy Pancaro 04 Dec '15

04 Dec '15

Has anyone every integrated Observium and Zenoss together. Zenoss is another networking monitoring platform, but the platform could use a more friendly GUI. The Observium GUI is very nice. Please let me know if this is possible. I believe that Observium and Nagios integrates with one another, but our organization uses Zenoss. Thank you.

Device check and down alert question
by Ron Culler 03 Dec '15

03 Dec '15

I have noticed that I see down notices in Observium often when the snmp check fails (I have only seen this when checking servers (Windows/Linux). The device is up and a ping/icmp check would see this but because the snmp check had a problem I get a down indication. Sometimes it has to deal with the snmp service on the host being checked hanging or crashing, other times I have seen load or congestion cause it. Is there an option or would it make sense to add a feature that would check snmp first and in the event of an error fall back and do a ping/icmp check to see if the device is up or not? It would be beneficial to see if the server is up and get a notice about a snmp check failure. I could also see a check flow that would check snmp first, if it errored it would check with a ping, if the ping returns wait for the next snmp check before sending the notice or marking the device down.

recreate interface to down/up -event
by Geno 03 Dec '15

03 Dec '15

Hallo, i have the following problem. I server of mine a VPN-Service. This vpn-service restart some times (and with it it recreate a network interface with the same name "vpn-interface"). Observium delete the interface and create a new one (with the same name). The Question, is it possible to detect it and make a down up event out of it (and a mac change)? So it will use the same rrds, graphs and so on. Nice Wishes Geno

Creating a table with Unix-agent

03 Dec '15

Using the unix agent I can create graphs, but what if I wanted to just add a table to the apps tab? Basically what I am trying to do is keep an up-to-date table of custom strings for linux servers. *Daniel Kasen | REDFIN | Data Center Operations Engineerdaniel.kasen(a)redfin.com <daniel.kasen(a)redfin.com> | Tel: 206-859-2826 2025 1st Ave, Ste 500 | Seattle, WA 98121*

02 Dec '15

I upgrade to 0.15.11.7224 (30th November 2015) today and noticed that my webpage doesn’t display widescreen anymore. Both the normal and widescreen display the same way. My graphs now wrap and create multiple rows for display. Anyone else have this problem, or any thoughts on a solution? Thanks, Aaron

Disable CDP neighbour discovery?
by Ulrik Ivers 30 Nov '15

30 Nov '15

Hi, Is it possible to disable neighbour discovery via CDP but still leave it enabled for LLDP? The reason for asking is that we are a 100% LLDP shop, but some equipment run both CDP and LLDP. When looking at the tab "Neighbours" of such a device the neighbours are listed twice, one with protocol LLDP and one with protocol CDP. We would like to only do neighbour discovery via LLDP, if possible. I've looked through the options files and the documentation but haven't been able to find a setting to disable CDP. Regards, /Ulrik Ivers

Location menu - hierarchical without GeoLocation?
by Ulrik Ivers 29 Nov '15

29 Nov '15

Hi again, Corrected some typos to make the explanation a bit more understandable ... /Ulrik Hi, Trying to figure out whether it's possible to have the Location menu on the front page being hierarchical with GeoLocation DISABLED. Is this possible? Running version 7203. Our snmp location strings in our devices are on the format of: City, Building, Floor We'd like to have the Location menu on the frontpage being displayed hierarchical something like this: Location City A [3] Building A [3] Floor X [2] Floor Y [1] At the moment the menu looks like this with THREE devices of which TWO have the same location string Location City A, Building A, Floor X City A, Building A, Floor Y Any suggestions would be welcome. Regards, /Ulrik Ivers

GeoLocation not correct
by Scott A. Davis 27 Nov '15

27 Nov '15

Hi - Not sure if this is an Observium issue or not, but in all the time I've used the community version, I've never had this problem. My screen shot is here: http://imgur.com/D9waqhG I have 3 servers. Two in TX, which show up accurately, and one in Atlanta, which shows up in the middle of the Atlantic ocean. Observium shows its location as "Unknown" my snmpd.conf is as follows (with XXXXX marking non-relevant info) syslocation Atlanta, Georgia rocommunity XXXXXX sysname tsundoku.XXXXXXX.XXX syscontact scott.a.davis(a)gmail.com I have other servers with similar snmpd.conf on that map showing up fine. For syslocation, I have also tried Atlanta, Atlanta, GA, etc ... Nothing changes. Any reason why this would happen? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Custom OIDs are fantastic

Just wanted to say thankyou for adding support for Custom OIDs. Using a combination of this article http://www.maartenmoerman.nl/?p=649 and this one http://awesomeadmin.blogspot.co.uk/2009/11/monitoring-cisco-wireless-contro… I was able to add graphs to track how many clients are on each of our individual access points. So far I think it's working, even if it is a pain to calculate which AP MAC address translates to which OID....

I see I can create custom contacts, but I don't see a way to associate an alert check to that contact. Am I just missing this?

MySQL application

25 Nov '15

The instructions for configuring the MySQL application at https://observium.org/w/Application/MySQL are unclear about where the database user must be created. Do the user create steps need to be done on every host running MySQL that you want to monitor, or just once on the Observium server? I assume that it's the former, just looking for clarification.

Debugging rsyslog
by Tim Vaughan 24 Nov '15

24 Nov '15

I have a number of devices on separate VLANs to my Observium server. They are configured to send their logs via syslog to Observium. I have firewall rules in place on our router to allow this traffic between VLANs and I can see the traffic being passed in firewall logs. However, the log messages never seem to make it into Observium. How can I go about debugging rsyslog to see whether the logs arrive correctly at the server and are correctly processed by rsyslogd?

Re: [Observium] How to delete ports of devices?
by Tim Toepp 20 Nov '15

20 Nov '15

Chaman, Are they actually down? Meaning not being used? Or are you saying they are being incorrectly reported? So if they are actually down and you are asking how to NOT see the down ports in your listing: when you are on the GUI and you are looking at the Ports of a specific Device, click under Quick Filter you can hide different ports based on their status and one of the option is 'Hide Down'. The downside is that it doesn't retain and I haven't found a system wide setting/preference. If this works for you, what you could do is submit a feature request to make it a global setting not just a Quick Filter. But you really do not want to delete ports that are down as then you'll have to add them later when they become in use.

Hello All, I want to keep the default layout of the front page with one change: replace the map with a traffic graph. When I tried this using the [frontpage][order] line (removed map from order and put in a custom graph, included EVERYTHING else) , the "Devices,Ports,Sensors" table at the top diapered. How do i get it back? Even if the answer is as simple as RTFM-pages #-## that would help. Thanks, Joshua Bierman Director of Technology Yeshivat Noam

Monitoring Snom phones

Hi, I'm trying to add several Snom 710 phones. The documentation says they will accept SNMP requests (http://wiki.snom.com/Category:HowTo:SNMP). However, I can't add it from Observium even if I enter my installation's IP address as trusted in the phone config. Checking the phone logs after trying to add them, I see: 17/11/2015 11:19:53 [NOTICE] TOOLS: SNMP: Received unknown object identifier 06082b06010201010200 17/11/2015 11:19:53 [NOTICE] TOOLS: SNMP: Received unknown object identifier 06082b06010201010300 17/11/2015 11:20:03 [NOTICE] TOOLS: SNMP: Received unknown object identifier 06082b06010201010200 17/11/2015 11:20:03 [NOTICE] TOOLS: SNMP: Received unknown object identifier 06082b06010201010300 Has anyone managed to get their Snom phones talking to Observium? -- Mobile: 07868246225 Skype: tvaughan Twitter: twitter.com/tvaughan

Setting Location
by Josh Hopper 19 Nov '15

19 Nov '15

Is there a way via command line to set the Location of a device? For example, in the GUI you click on a given device and hover over the Gear in the far right. Then click Properties. Under the Device Settings tab there is a Custom Location. This is the location I would like to set. I ran an SNMP Enabler tool and enabled, set and added 100 devices today to Observium. Rather than set this individually, I was hoping I could do it in bulk via SSH. -- Sincerely, Joshua Hopper, A+ CE Sr. Network Administrator [cid:image001.jpg@01D11BAA.500B4080] 420 3rd Ave NW Hickory NC 28601 Office: 828-449-1839x2160 | Cell: 828-855-7565

Who's running Observium on distros that aren't Ubuntu/Debian/RHEL/CentOS?
by Adam Armstrong 19 Nov '15

19 Nov '15

Hi Guys, Are any of you running Observium on distros which aren't the ones we recommend? Did you have to do anything special? I think we're probably way more friendly to non-debian distros now that we've lost a lot of legacy stuff! Thanks, adam.

Hi All I have added the below to the config file, but nothing seems to be getting discovered, is there a $config[Œautodiscover¹] = TRUE or something I am missing? $config['autodiscovery']['ip_nets'] = array("10.200.4.0/24", "10.200.1.0/24"); $config['autodiscovery']['xdp'] = TRUE; // Autodiscover hosts via discovery protocols $config['autodiscovery']['snmpscan'] = TRUE; // autodiscover hosts via SNMP scanning $config['discover_services'] = false; ## Autodiscover services via SNMP on devices of type "server"

Front page custom graphs not displaying as expected
by Josh Bierman 17 Nov '15

17 Nov '15

Hello all, here is the snippet from my config.php ----------------------------------------------------- // Device status settings // Show the status messages you want $config['frontpage']['device_status']['max']['interval'] = 24; // Maximal interval for which to display devices status (in hours) $config['frontpage']['device_status']['max']['count'] = 200; $config['frontpage']['device_status']['uptime'] = true; $config['frontpage']['device_status']['devices'] = true; // Show the down devices $config['frontpage']['device_status']['ports'] = true; // Show the down ports $config['frontpage']['device_status']['links'] = true; // Show the down inter-device links (with CDP/LLDP linked devices) $config['frontpage']['device_status']['errors'] = true; // Show the ports with interface errors/ $config['frontpage']['device_status']['services'] = true; // Custom traffic graphs $config['frontpage']['custom_traffic']['ids'] = "3697"; // COMMA SEPARATED PORT ID FOR EXAMPLE: "1,2,3,4,5" $config['frontpage']['custom_traffic']['title'] = "Traffic"; // Your own title for the custom traffic graphs // Custom mini graphs $config['frontpage']['minigraphs']['ids'] = "51,device_processor,CPU"; // Comma and semicolon separated array list, first the device id or graph id followed by the image type and the text header you want (example: "2,$ $config['frontpage']['minigraphs']['legend'] = false; // Enable/Disable the legend on custom mini graph view $config['frontpage']['minigraphs']['title'] = "Mini Graphs Overview"; -------------------------------------------------- Based on that config I would expect graphs for 4 ports, showing 24 hour time periods on each, and a mini graph underneath showing CPU usage on that device (its a fortinet firewall) Instead I see this: [image: Inline image 1] Traffic graphs for one port, three timescales and no CPU.

Question about Map Locations, Geocoding and SNMP
by Ximena Cardinali 17 Nov '15

17 Nov '15

Hello There, Here's the situation: Last week we changed our Geocoding API to yandex, just for the sake of testing. After that, our map Locations looked really funny. Then, we changed back to mapquest and now our map shows just the Atlantic Ocean. Before that, we had no Geocoding API on our Observium config. Our Locations were all being retrieved from the SNMP Config (sysLocation) from all our devices. I also tried with "$config['geocoding']['enable'] = FALSE;" and with "$config['location_menu_geocoded'] = FALSE;" but I still get the ocean. So here's my stupid question: How can I go back to our first Status, where all Locations are retrieved per SNMP without Geocoding and our Map shows back the Devices as we had in the Setup? Thanks! --- *Ximena E. Cardinali *| Linux SysAdmin

New Observium install showing text where PHP should be?
by linuxthefish 16 Nov '15

16 Nov '15

Hi, I've just followed the Observium install instructions and I have a strange issue with Observium's PHP files. I'm not sure if this is an Apache issue as I don't use Apache and installed it as the instructions said, but I created a phpinfo file and it ran fine! This was first seen with the Subscription edition, but I've removed that and tried the community edition with the same problems. the issue is that observium is showing a file that starts with the following in my browser: <?php /** * Observium * * This file is part of Observium. * * @package observium * @subpackage webinterface * @author Adam Armstrong <adama(a)memetic.org> * @copyright (C) 2006-2015 Adam Armstrong * */ Thanks, Edmund
