Who's running Observium on distros that aren't Ubuntu/Debian/RHEL/CentOS?
by Adam Armstrong 18 Nov '15

18 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, Sorry to take your time with this question but I am sure you can help me with that. On Script section of Observium UNIX agetn I found this script for lm sensor #!/bin/bash lmsensors=`which sensors` if [ $? -eq 0 ] then echo '<<<lmsensors>>>' $lmsensors fi On my environment the command for getting CPU temp is "sensor" root@banana:~# sensors fam15h_power-pci-00c4 Adapter: PCI adapter power1: 0.00 W (crit = 25.00 W) nct6776-isa-0290 Adapter: ISA adapter Vcore: +1.03 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +1.74 V) in1: +1.89 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +0.00 V) ALARM AVCC: +3.33 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +0.00 V) ALARM +3.3V: +3.34 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +0.00 V) ALARM in4: +0.73 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +0.00 V) ALARM in5: +1.71 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +0.00 V) ALARM 3VSB: +3.44 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +0.00 V) ALARM Vbat: +3.28 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +0.00 V) ALARM fan1: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM) ALARM fan2: 1234 RPM (min = 0 RPM) ALARM fan3: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM) ALARM fan4: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM) ALARM fan5: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM) ALARM SYSTIN: +40.0°C (high = +0.0°C, hyst = +0.0°C) ALARM sensor = thermistor CPUTIN: +42.0°C (high = +80.0°C, hyst = +75.0°C) sensor = thermistor AUXTIN: +47.0°C (high = +80.0°C, hyst = +75.0°C) sensor = thermistor cpu0_vid: +0.000 V intrusion0: OK intrusion1: ALARM In order to plot some nice graphs in observiu, how can I integrate that command in that script ?

Front page custom graphs not displaying as expected

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

Hi All I have a server that is running Observium with Unix Agent and everything is ok. Recently I installed a second remote server and is a SNMP client on my observium. Because this server is running Power DNS I would enable the UNIX-AGENT om this client and see the graphs for pdns on my Observium. Can anyone assist me on this? Thank You very much Federico

Does per-user permission exist in LDAP?
by Cody Cook 15 Nov '15

15 Nov '15

Now that I'm LDAP authenticating to my domain, am I completely restricted to using auth_ldap_groups to set permissions? In the UI, I can go to User > Edit Users, drop down the list to see my domain users, but when I try to apply changes to these users (setting Global Read, or Normal user), I am redirected to the Observium User Management screen with no visible changes to any user account. There's no notification to tell me what went wrong or that editing LDAP user permissions is not possible. After switching to LDAP, Observium no longer provides authentication errors, and I'm getting something to the same effect when trying to edit users. Clicking on a user in my level 10 shows me that this user is an administrator, but users in my level 1 are showing disabled. The drop down list shows the same level 10 users as disabled as well. /debug doesn't help since it reloads the page. profile_sql doesn't seem to show me every SQL query being made.

Then I see the side effect of the of the duplicate entries with the fdb table because the poller processes are running so slowly they are stacking on top of each other. So I have some kind of performance issue. One strange thing, I only have 45 devices I?m polling, yet the port count under the Port menu says I have 44859 ports. That must be a miscalculation of some type or my database is messed up somewhere. Not sure if related or not. Going to continue to try the poller manually and see if I can figure out where the slowdown is. From: observium [mailto:observium-bounces@observium.org] On Behalf Of Adam Armstrong Sent: Wednesday, August 12, 2015 1:33 AM To: observium(a)observium.org Subject: Re: [Observium] 'Duplicate entry' issues on vlans_fdb Man, why didn't I think of this? This sounds like the problem. I guess something caused your poller processes to get confused, and they ended up running in parallel, not unthinkable when the same part of the poller process runs for so long, 74 seconds for the fdb-table module. If you don't /really/ need this data, I'd recommend disabling it. It's one of the trade offs we have to make between performance and data. If you still want the fdb data, you can force that module to be run using a less-often scheduled process in cron like ./poller.php -h all -m fdb-table Note that this will break whatever graphs (fdb count?) that fdb-table produces, but you'll still have the data in the database. adam.

What boolean operators are available when creating groups ?
by Jesper Frank Nemholt 11 Nov '15

11 Nov '15

Hi! I've been using equals and match and wildcard (*) when aggregating together data in the group feature, however I now have to create a group where I need to exclude certain things and select others with wildcard. I am not sure this works, and I can't find anything in the documentation about it. basically I need to include all hosts with a certain hostname pattern, except a few ones with a slightly different pattern. If I wrote it in two lines, it would be like this : hostname match foo-is*.bar.com hostname != foo-is4*.bar.com Anyway way to do this ? /Jesper

Updating SNMP from v1 to v3
by Timothy Kaufman 11 Nov '15

11 Nov '15

Hello, We have about 80 devices that we are updating from SNMP v1 to v3. I can¹t seem to find a way to do this in bulk either from CLI or from web UI. I can update the devices one by one in the web ui, if I try from the CLI with the add_user.php script it complains about the device being known. Can someone offer some insight on how I might accomplish this without changing each device individually in the UI? Thanks Tim

Hello! on the directory alerts exists the slack.inc.php. directory in the alerts there is slack.inc.php. researched on the Internet (http://www.rickheil.com/?p=35#comment-39) and also in the full dump of the observium config file and saw that there are integration options with the slack.

Active Directory help

Hi everyone, I know this subject is touched on in the past but any help from anyone who has this working would be appreciated. I've been following the FAQ for LDAP login via Active Directory but I always come across the same error. Fatal error: LDAP TLS required but not successfully negotiated [Connect error] In /debug, I see that it connects but then inserts a line saying that Auth failed. https://doc.rotten.soy/buqar.vhdl In my Windows Server 2012 R2 box, I see this line come up in the Event Viewer: "A fatal alert was generated and sent to the remote endpoint. This may result in termination of the connection. The TLS protocol defined fatal error code is 10. The Windows SChannel error state is 10." This is one of the more recent configs I've tried. https://doc.rotten.soy/wosej.php My filtered dsquery information is... https://doc.rotten.soy/inure.tex Things I've tried modifying: auth_ldap_binddn, I've tried changing this but this doesn't seem to be my problem since it appears to connect. (Should I have some kind of special rights for this user)? auth_ldap_suffix, This one I'm not sure exactly what the string is looking for. The actual CN of a user won't include the CN=Builtin. I've tried without. auth_ldap_group, tried with and without Domain Users CN. auth_ldap_groups, tried the full LDAP path and also just the "Domain Admins"/"Domain Users" What am I missing? :( Any help is greatly appreciated in what I am doing wrong. Is it a problem with my Server 2012 install and something I need to change? Is it a problem in one of the packages installed for Observium? Cody

Setting up email alert notifications
by Alex Winder ＠ M5i 07 Nov '15

Hi, I'm looking to set up alert notifications to help with the monitoring of the devices which we already have loaded into Observium, but having some trouble. See below attached image. This is how I currently have alert checkers set. As you can see there are 0 entities being loaded into all alert checks, despite using all devices, and I can't find anything about how to get entities to load. Could someone assist me in how to successfully set up the notifications? We have over 200 devices being monitored in Observium, adding email notifications would improve the system dramatically for us. Regards, Alex.

Hei, I have an BlueWalker (Powerwalker) UPS and added support for my (VFI2000 LCD) as attached. This should work for all VFIs and others with the same god dam ObjectID of .1.3.6.1.4.1.935.10.1 (which should be all EPPC manufactured units). Im not an expert in Observium or all things SNMP, but this was my work. If others find it useful, then great. PS: Dont read this Yes its yet another UPS MIB which EPPC could have done with RFC1628. The unit supports RFC1628 but not enough to be ideal ;( I didnt want to make some bastard mix of both MIBS as that's just twice the mess. Best regards /Glyn

Re: [Observium] CASA CMTS - 32bit counters used instead of 64bit.

Hi Tom, I'm not sure if I got your point :) Casa c2200 CMTS does respond with 64bit counters, for example: # snmpget -v2c -c xxxx 1.1.1.1 IF-MIB::ifHCOutOctets.77 IF-MIB::ifHCInOctets.77 IF-MIB::ifHCOutOctets.77 = Counter64: 2351994689934 IF-MIB::ifHCInOctets.77 = Counter64: 319195830460 I was wondering if it's possible to force Observium to query those.

Graphs not drawing after update to rev 7172
by Tim Vaughan 05 Nov '15

05 Nov '15

This afternoon I updated my installation to 7172 via svn. Since then, my graphs are being drawn blank (e.g. this one of the poller duration: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3183918/pollergraph.png. Ignore the earlier gap, it's the one from about 1630 onwards I'm talking about). I've done *./discovery.php -u* as normal and have manually run *./poller.php -h all*. I have checked /pollerlog and it doesn't appear to be running automatically by cron as usual. Any ideas? Tim

LDAP Issue

If I try a login that should work or one that doesn't work the result is the same - the login fields blank out again with no error message. Just wondering how I go about fixing this? Alternatively is there any log files that can offer some explanation as to why it's not working? I've had a look but can't find any. Thanks, Quentin

CASA CMTS - 32bit counters used instead of 64bit.
by T-MONT Administrator 05 Nov '15

05 Nov '15

Hi, I'm trying to monitor CASA c2200 CMTS device with Observium; it gets recognized as "casa-dcts". The problem is that Observium doesn't use 64bit interface counters but 32bit for downstream and upstream interfaces. This results in gaps in the traffic graphs when traffic counter overflows. How can I force Observium to switch to use 64bit counters instead of 32bit? Thanks! Pawel

Issue with traffic volume graph for asymmetric interfaces.
by T-MONT Administrator 05 Nov '15

05 Nov '15

Hi guys, I have problem with graphing traffic graphs for one of my Observium monitored device; problem occurs when it comes to graph traffic for asymmetric interfaces - ones that only send or receive traffic. The problem is that when such interface is queried on the device for actual traffic values the response is: for only-sending interface: Rx OID -> noSuchInstance, TxOID -> actual bits for only-receiving interface: Rx OID -> actual bits, TxOID -> noSuchInstance Those values as used then to populate corresponding RRD file which results in series of "NaN"s for INOCTETS or OUTOCTETS data stores. The result is that traffic graph plotted from this RRD is corrupted - like this example: http://i66.tinypic.com/7281fo.png Currently my Observium instance is at revision 7167. Could you share with me any ideas how to resole this issue? Thank you & Regards! Pawel

I'm monitoring a little over 600 devices with my installation. Likewise in a VM, 8x vCPU @3.0GHz, 32GB DRAM, and 32GB of swap. While CPU goes up to 85+% during polls, I don't have any drops whatsoever. Given what you describe, you probably want to add more memory to your VM. Also, what is your average and overall polling time? You may need to add additional polling instances so that everything completes within the 5min window before the next round of polling starts, which again means more memory will be very helpful.

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
