Default new ports to not alert?
by Spencer Ryan 04 Nov '15

04 Nov '15

We are considering adding some of our testbed Cisco devices to Observium, but we'd like all the ports to default to not alert, since they are constantly up and down, and vlans are created dynamically. Any way to do this in the config? *Spencer Ryan* | Senior Systems Administrator | sryan(a)arbor.net *Arbor Networks* +1.734.794.5033 (d) | +1.734.846.2053 (m) www.arbornetworks.com

Search pages broken?
by Tim Cooper 03 Nov '15

03 Nov '15

A colleague has just noticed that the ports and device search pages no longer search when you click the button? We have just upgraded to 7161 today, but not sure when it broke as it's been a while since anyone actually used the search page... We are working around this quite easily but seemed worth mentioning :) Thanks, Tim C

General pre-buy questions
by Ryan Milton 03 Nov '15

03 Nov '15

I am thinking of pushing team to purchase the full version, and even for some support. I have a free version now Questions I have are the following for my managers: 1. Can I alert off of bandwidth utilization? What other types of things can I alert off for the enterprise? 2. Can I alert for jitter across an MPLS? This is a biggie, because we have about 40 circuits. 3. We use WUG, which I hate… how is this better? 4. We use Solarwinds, which is expensive, why is this better? 5. (I know this is bad form, but) why these bars in the graph: Thanks for your awesome answers, and please, give me some reasons that I can use to get team to put money into this. Ryan Milton

Hello, When polling devices, all ports are getting deleted: "Port () deleted" Has anyone seen this or know how to fix this? Everything else is being discovered and polled normally. Thank you, Matt

Portnames instead of ifAlias for Fabric OS devices
by Ole Hansen 03 Nov '15

03 Nov '15

Hello, Observium (as of 0.15.9.6997) displays ifAlias / ifDescr as label for Brocade Fabric OS SAN switches. Brocade, however, uses “portnames”, which can be found at OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.1588.2.1.1.1.6.2.1.36 Is this per design or just because very few have Fabric OS devices in Observium? — Ole Hansen

Graph errors on OS upgrade
by Roland Hill 02 Nov '15

02 Nov '15

Hi list, I'm running CE version 0.15.6.6430, on my non-critical home network. I recently upgraded my server OS from Ubuntu 15.04 to 15.10. This appears to have resulted in some of the graphs in Observium now not drawing. The OS upgraded took rrdtools from version 1.4.8 to 1.5.4, and I suspect this is the root of the issue as I seem to remember this being raised on the list before. I note there was a bugfix committed in August for "Fixed some issues with rrdtool command parsing on newer rrdtool versions". Can you confirm that the draw error's I'm seeing are most likely related to the rrdtool version, and that the next release of CE will probably fix it? An example of the rrdtool error is: RRDTool Output: ERROR: Unused Arguments "" in command : AREA:inbits0#B6D14B:p3p1 Rx: Sorry if this is not enough information. I can provide screenshots if required. -- Regards, Roland PGP Key 0xDA39319B = BCF0 1214 BAE9 5A3D 46FC 21A6 360D 9398 DA39 319B

LLDP issues
by Mark Martinec 30 Oct '15

30 Oct '15

Spent some time trying to get Observium to deal with MIBs as produced by LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) on a couple of diverse network equipment types. Running the latest CE edition 0.15.6.6430. After initial meager success (only two boxes recognized and several L2 neighbours reported with wrong interfaces), a couple of changes in includes/discovery/discovery-protocols/lldp-mib.inc.php brought some sense into results. There are essentially two problems there: - some lldpRemoteSystemsData OIDs could not be correlated with an interface on the other side (for various reasons, see below); - a fallback mechanism which tries to find a match on an interface's MAC address produces a wrong match, because typically all ports on larger switches have the same MAC address and the heuristics just picks the first match, which is almost always wrong. In case of multiple matches the matching on MAC should just fail, which at least would not produce a senseless match causing operators to scratch their heads and wonder who crossed the cables. The comment in lldp-mib.inc.php : // Find the device by MAC address, still matches multiple ports sometimes, we use the first one and hope we're lucky if very much misguided, as all port MAC addresses on a switch are typically the same, at least on all device types that I checked. The first issue above needs more explanation. I found a couple of different reasons for a failed match, as follows. Case 1: $ snmpbulkwalk -v2c -c ... -M mibs -m LLDP-MIB ... lldpRemoteSystemsData LLDP-MIB::lldpRemChassisIdSubtype.5360466.52.2 = INTEGER: macAddress(4) LLDP-MIB::lldpRemChassisId.5360466.52.2 = Hex-STRING: C4 54 44 1E 71 4E LLDP-MIB::lldpRemPortIdSubtype.5360466.52.2 = INTEGER: local(7) LLDP-MIB::lldpRemPortId.5360466.52.2 = Hex-STRING: 30 2F 34 37 00 LLDP-MIB::lldpRemPortDesc.5360466.52.2 = STRING: "Slot: 0 Port: 47 10G -

So my solution was to add "case 'interfaceAlias':" and "case 'local':" there; switch ($lldp['lldpRemPortIdSubtype']) { case 'interfaceName': + case 'interfaceAlias': + case 'local': A Case 3 is a bit nastier and is specific to our Summit Extreme X450a switches. The problem there is that the interface name (i.e. a port number) as reported in the LLDP MIB does not use the same naming/numbering convention as the IF-MIB and SQL: the LLDP MIB just uses a port number (1 .. 26), while the SQL field ports.ifName prefixes a port number with a chassis number, which is always a 1 in a non-stackable switch. Moreover the ifIndex uses a formula 1000*chassis + port number. On top of it the PortDesc in LLDP MIB is an empty string, so cannot be used to correlate with IF-MIB::ifDescr. To illustrate: IF-MIB::ifIndex.1001 = INTEGER: 1001 IF-MIB::ifIndex.1002 = INTEGER: 1002 IF-MIB::ifIndex.1003 = INTEGER: 1003 [...] IF-MIB::ifIndex.1026 = INTEGER: 1026 IF-MIB::ifDescr.1001 = STRING: X450a-24t Port 1 IF-MIB::ifDescr.1002 = STRING: X450a-24t Port 2 IF-MIB::ifDescr.1003 = STRING: X450a-24t Port 3 [...] IF-MIB::ifDescr.1026 = STRING: X450a-24t Port 26 LLDP-MIB::lldpLocPortIdSubtype.1 = INTEGER: interfaceName(5) LLDP-MIB::lldpLocPortIdSubtype.2 = INTEGER: interfaceName(5) LLDP-MIB::lldpLocPortIdSubtype.3 = INTEGER: interfaceName(5) [...] LLDP-MIB::lldpLocPortId.1 = STRING: "1" LLDP-MIB::lldpLocPortId.2 = STRING: "2" LLDP-MIB::lldpLocPortId.3 = STRING: "3" [...] LLDP-MIB::lldpLocPortId.26 = STRING: "26" LLDP-MIB::lldpLocPortDesc.1 = STRING: LLDP-MIB::lldpLocPortDesc.2 = STRING: LLDP-MIB::lldpLocPortDesc.3 = STRING: [...] LLDP-MIB::lldpLocPortDesc.26 = STRING: The corresponding SQL field ports.ifName looks like "1:26", i.e. the port number is prefixed by a chassis number and a colon. So neither the SQL query on ifDescr ("") OR ifName ("26") can succeed, nor the query on ifIndex ("1026"). I ended up with a hackish workaround kludge in lldp-mib.inc.php : case 'interfaceName': $remote_port_id = dbFetchCell("SELECT `port_id` FROM `ports` WHERE (`ifDescr`= ? OR `ifName`= ?)

OR `ifName`= ?) AND `device_id` = ?", array(1000+$id, "1:$id", $remote_device_id)); + } Actually there is also a Case 4, where lldpRemSysName shows a string "(none).(none)" instead of an empty string, when the (optional) system name is not configured. To fix: - if (empty($lldp['lldpRemSysName']) && $lldp['lldpRemChassisIdSubtype'] == 'macAddress') + if ((empty($lldp['lldpRemSysName']) || $lldp['lldpRemSysName'] == '(none).(none)') && $lldp['lldpRemChassisIdSubtype'] == 'macAddress') The affected devices were: Summit Extreme X450 switches (Case #3), a Quanta LY2R switch (the 'interfaceAlias' Case #2), and a Networking Operating System RackSwitch G7052 (the 'local', Case #1). Not sure what switch was connected there in Case 4, possibly a smaller Quanta, identifies as "armv5tejl/Linux 2.6.17.WB_WPCM450.1.3". The full patch is attached (I hope it survives the mailing list). If more information is needed I'd be gladly providing. Regards Mark

Baytech PDU patch

Hi all, Attached is a diff and related files to include support for Baytech PDUs. It was just an archaeology job on some of the other existing PDU discover/sensor files modified for the Baytechs, but it's working well for us.

Flush process causing slow performace
by Johnson, Edward A. 27 Oct '15

27 Oct '15

Since upgrading PHP to 5.4, Observium has loaded very slowly at times. Most of the time just a refresh of the homepage will take .150 seconds but occasionally it can take up to a minute to load. Running iotop shows the Flush process running taking up 99.99% IO which directly correlates to the slow page loads. Can anyone shed some light on a way to resolve this?

Log Names of non discoverable Host in autodiscover
by Serge Müller 26 Oct '15

26 Oct '15

Hi, is there any way to find out which host have been found through autodiscovery but could not be queried by snmp or aren't reachable via ICMP? Since we have lots of people working on our network, i do not always know if someone plugs in new switches or routers, especially not if they forget to configure the acls or snmp. The Observium log only shows "added x Hosts to ..." but no failures, running discovery.php -d -h all is a bit too loud and takes quite to long. Any suggestions? regards Serge

SNMP extensions : distro ... and others ?

BGP Alert Checks
by Aaron Hite 23 Oct '15

23 Oct '15

Team, I need some guidance. I have spent some time on the web trying to find examples of how to configure a alert checker to tell me when a BGP peer is Admin up but not working. We have quite a few peers in our environment that are Admin down and I just want to ignore those. I have tried many variations of the checker, but must be missing something. Here is a screenshot of the latest attempt. My device and entity match are set to “*”. If I change the condition or any instead of all, I seem to get alerts that are not correct as they are including peer states that are admin down. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks, Aaron

Feature request + issues with NetApp cDot and EMC Isilon
by Jesper Frank Nemholt 22 Oct '15

22 Oct '15

Hi Not sure if there is a better place for feature requests, but here it goes : 1. In the group option it would be great to be able to create subgroups and assign/re-assign, so different measures related to the same infrastructure or area can be kept together. 2. Currently it is not possible to rename a group. Would be nice to have this option. 3. Would be great to have some simple functions / regex related to the group graphs to allow consolidating & filtering the data further. Right now it will either aggregate/stack data depending on what it is and it would be more flexible to have some control over this. Also being able to give the aggregated data some more meaningful data labels would be nice. Some time back I asked about NetApp cDOT support....got no answer but saw on the forum that someone was looking into this several months back. Right now the cDOT support is very limited as the MIB is different compared to standard OnTAP and it allow for multiple controller pairs in the same cluster. Any news on what the status is ? Same story for Isilon, here all the server data is gathered, but with complete unawareness of the nodes being in a cluster.... so the only way to get cluster data properly recorded & presented is to create a group for all nodes and create aggregated graphs. Anyone using Observium with IBM GPFS (ESS) ? /Jesper

Request: Add a device proactively
by Nate Mellendorf 20 Oct '15

20 Oct '15

Observium team, I just finished pre-deploying a few routers for a new client, and I'm adding each one to our monitoring platforms in advance. As they're offline, I'll be unable to add them to Observium until they respond to SNMP / ICMP. Is there a way I could add these proactively, and work around the error that Observium pushes our by default? Ideally, I'd like to add them all now, disable their alerts, and enable them when they're deployed and connectivity is in place. I see you have a Ignore RRD checkbox on the add device page. I wonder if we could have another that says, "Add even though device is offline"? As always, thank you for your feedback and time on this.

Re: [Observium] Request: Add a device proactively
by Nate Mellendorf 19 Oct '15

19 Oct '15

I was going to do something simular, but thought I'd request a feature add. When I deploy my devices, I deploy them with a script that's been standardized / approved. Setting up DHCP would be possible, but it adds additional steps (prone to user error) and may not be possible for all Observium users. I can see why you may not want to add it, but I feel it would be a really nice time saver for future deployments. You configured Observium to say no, I wont poll you if I can't find you. I think this is a little bit of a grey area, where we know it'll be there eventually. Just my two cents. Thanks again Adam for the consideration. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2015 08:27:26 -0700 From: Robbie Wright <robbie(a)siuslawbroadband.com> To: Observium Network Observation System <observium(a)observium.org> Subject: Re: [Observium] Request: Add a device proactively Message-ID: <CADTKZWZ8kbo7ZU8KAnbANzvh+udkEAaC9Bg05zm+V2AxqZZYmg(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" The way we currently handle this, since all of the devices require dns, is to pre-provision the device on a dhcp network and set dns to the temporary dhcp address. We can do the full config on the on the device, ship it, and when it is in its new location (or while it is being shipped) update dns to the new static IP you pre-provisioned and then when it is plugged in, all should be good with the world.

by George Philip 19 Oct '15

19 Oct '15

Hi,I have installed Observium and have ospf and bgp related polling ,discovery parameters in the config.php file. However, I am unable to see the routing protocol related graph in the web page. Is there anything else that I need to do as I have these protocols running on the Nexus 9000 and MX480 router. Thanks,George

Juniper QFX 10G ports discovered as 4.29G
by Aaron Finney 18 Oct '15

18 Oct '15

Just FYI, the 10G ports on a QFX 5100 running latest JunOS are being reported with a speed of 4.29Gbps, which I assume is likely the actual returned value being constrained by a 32-bit container? Not a critical thing for us to fix - I was actually disabling polling for all of our Juniper vcp stacks in Observium (most of them take > 300s to complete a polling cycle) but noticed this as I was going through them and figured I'd pass it along. Cheers, Aaron

Re: [Observium] Tripplite PDUMNH20 (power strips)

Great progress. Data now appears in RRD, just it’s off by 10 X. Plots show 1.1, correct answer is 11.0 Amps. When I look at the device with iReasoning MIB browser, using the UPS-MIB supplied by TrippLite, or the UPS-MIB from Observium, it says: integer: 11 See attached. Seems most of the MIB files mention units of “0.1 RMS Amp”. Not sure what that does.

If not, you have two options (both of which require having a subscription!): Hope we fix it once you confirm its not fixed in subscription. Pay someone for a couple of hours work to fix it. The choice between the two is usually based on how much you want the fix :) I vaguely recall some triplite stuff changing in the recent past, so chances are it's fixed already. I don't have any of those devices though, so can't say for certain with looking into it a little further. Adam.

Escaped sysContact not being escaped properly
by Spencer Ryan 16 Oct '15

16 Oct '15

I've got several UBNT devices all running EdgeMax 1.7.0 It appears that they escape the sysContact (and a few other fields) in quotes even if they don't have spaces in them. Observium seems to eat the first one properly but not the second. snmpwalk -Os -c public -v 2c router01 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.4 iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.4.0 = STRING: "\"hostmaster(a)arbor.net\"" However in the UI I see this: sysContact*=>*hostmaster(a)arbor.net\ Which causes email notifications to fail, because of the bad email address. Any hope? *Spencer Ryan* | Senior Systems Administrator | sryan(a)arbor.net *Arbor Networks* +1.734.794.5033 (d) | +1.734.846.2053 (m) www.arbornetworks.com

Ignore Statuses Possible?
by Tim Calvin 15 Oct '15

15 Oct '15

Hello We have a few AC powered Foundry FWS-24 switches. Observium is showing alerts for the secondary power supply and fans under statuses. Is there anyway to ignore these? I tried poking around and couldn’t find anything that would do the trick. I don’t even think they have secondary power supplies and fans. Maybe in another hardware configuration but certainly not ours. I have attached a screenshot. Running Observium Professional 0.15.10.7072
