List of latest alert checkers
by Samarasinghe, Sujith 14 Aug '15

14 Aug '15

Hi , Can you please provide list of sample alert checkers? I tried to add OSPF status but didn't work. It would be handy if you have list of standard alert checkers this seems to be good one. But still missing important stuff http://www.maartenmoerman.nl/?p=612 Thanks, Sujith, Confidentiality Note: This e-mail and any attachments are confidential and may be protected by legal privilege.

Incorrect memory graph for large RAM amount
by Louis Bailleul 14 Aug '15

14 Aug '15

Hi, Just discovered a weirdness when I added a server that has 3TB of RAM : the ucd_memory graph is totally messed up. It only displays negative amount of Cache/Shared buffers. The legend shows that it didn't handle the 3TB correctly. But it seems to be fine for the health/memory view where the correct amount is displayed everywhere. I have attached the debug output of the poller for this device. Best regards, Louis

Better performance on older hardware
by Louis Bailleul 14 Aug '15

14 Aug '15

Hi, I am in the process of qualifying some hardware to run Observium (planning to deploy it in about 25 locations). So I was trying to evaluate the hardware we currently have which consist of Dell R610 and IBM X3550. So we can gauge what we need. The R610 has : - 2x Intel X5660 (6 cores 2.8Ghz + hyperthreading) == total of 12 physical cores and 24 logical - 96Gb of DDR3 1333Mhz - 6x300GB 10K SAS configured as one raid1 of 2 disks for mysql and OS and a raid5 of 4 disks for rrds. - 1Gb network interface The X3550 has : - 2x Intel L5420 (4 cores 2.5Ghz) == total of 8 physical cores - 32Gb of DDR2 266Mhz - 2x200Gb 7.5K SATA configured as one for mysql and OS and one for rrds - 1 Gb network interface So reading this, it seems easy to guess which one should be faster. I am currently testing using : Observium CE 0.15.6.6430 OS Linux 2.6.32-358.14.1.el6.x86_64 [amd64] (CentOS 6.2) Apache 2.2.15 (CentOS) PHP 5.6.11 Python 2.6.6 MySQL 5.6.26-log SNMP NET-SNMP 5.5 RRDtool 1.4.9 From my testing, the poller perform a quite better on the R610 than on the X3550 : Polling the same 310 linux boxes (The slowest devices taking around 35 seconds) this gives an average of : - 8 threads : R610 : 169 seconds X3550 : 213 seconds - 12 threads : R610 : 69 seconds X3550 : 156 seconds - 24 threads R610 : 41 seconds X3550 : 107 seconds - 36 threads R610 : 41 seconds X3550 : 160 seconds - 64 threads R610 : 37 seconds X3550 : 225 seconds - 96 Threads R610 : 40 seconds X3550 : Still running Ok we clearly have a winner here. Bottom line for the poller, you can come close to the time taken by your slowest devices if you add more threads. But it seems that you need quite a few cores available to be able to increase the number of threads without decreasing the efficiency. This was kind of expected. Where the thing becomes weird it's on the web interface and especially the graph rendering : On average starting with a clear cache, the same Linux device page render (graphs included) consistently in about 1 second on the X3550 and in about 4 seconds on the R610 (screenshot attached). Where it became even worse : if you ask the X3550 to connect to the mysql database of the R610 and export the rrds of the R610 over NFS ... the X3550 still render the page faster (still around 1 second). Any guess on what is going on here ? It doesn't seem right that a machine that is definitely faster accessing mysql and updating rrds would be 4 times slower when rendering graphs. Best regards, Louis

can't ping error from inside Observium
by Michael Ponto 13 Aug '15

13 Aug '15

Good morning all I have a new server setup with Centos 7 and Observium Everything looks good except I can't add any devices. I get an error that says it can't ping the device. I can ping when logged in from the terminal by IP and by Name. FPing also works from the console. IP tables and Firewall have been turned off for trouble shooting. I can add users etc. This is a replacement box so the devices are all configured correctly. Total loss here.

Re: [Observium] false device down alerts
by Rudolf Hoehler 13 Aug '15

13 Aug '15

Hello Sujith, When you set an alert you can set the number of polling runs before the alert actually fires. Under Alert Checkers set the "Alert Delay" for the checker to 3 or 4 and see if the results improve. If you are polling every minute you might start a polling run while the previous polling run is still happening. I would up this from 1 minute to about 2 or 3 minutes at least. Would be good to hear other comments on the fast polling time.

svn Checksum mismatch error
by Johnson, Edward A. 13 Aug '15

13 Aug '15

We have been running Observium under RHEL 6 for over a year now. After one of the last updates, I noticed that php 5.4 or newer was needed. Unfortunately, php 5.3.3 is current in RHN but I was able to update to 5.4 using a different repository. Then I had an issue with xcache not being available for 5.4. This brings me to my current problem. I decided to go with the approved distro, Debian. My problem is that when I try to execute "svn co http://svn.observium.org/svn/observium/branches/stable observium", I get a few files and then randomly get the error “Checksum mismatch for ‘/opt/observium/somefilename.extension’ If I blow away the /opt/observium directory and run the command again, a different file gives me that error.

Error: Blank Page - Alert Checks
by Nate Mellendorf 09 Aug '15

09 Aug '15

Good evening, everyone. I've been having some trouble with the alert checks portion of Observium for quite some time now. Whenever I click Alert Checks from the global dropdown menu, an empty white page is displayed. This was working before, and (unfortunately) I'm not certain when it stopped.

Sensor Alerts
by Andre Geißler 07 Aug '15

07 Aug '15

Hi Is there a way to calculate in Alerts Tests? I think it's better to know temperature is quite close to sensor limit than it has already reached. At the moment we are checking temperature with "|sensor_value greater @sensor_limit|" but would like to be informed a little bit earlier|.| || |I can imagine to do it like that "|||sensor_value greater @sensor_limit - 2|" or "|||sensor_value greater @sensor_limit| * 0,95"| || Andre

Hi Adam, I have an issue measuring 95 percentile interface using two different methods. If I go to the Port page for a specific interface and select a date range for example from 2015-07-01 00:00:00 to 2015-08-01 00:00:00 the 95 % for IN traffic is 563.87M Meanwhile if i take the same measure using the traffic accounting for this interface the 95% is 685M There is something I ain't understand?

County entries Google vs MapQuest and their representation on the Location menu . [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]
by Peter.Hine＠familycourt.gov.au 05 Aug '15

05 Aug '15

I saw a comment in "includes/geolocation.inc.php" about sorting the difference between county and states. I was looking cause i'd like a cleaner looking location menu. so i hijacked a device on the test system and changed it's location to "10 Downing St, London SW1A 2AA, United Kingdom" I see that we have different results depending on who we ask. Geolocation (MAPQUEST) -> [51.503440, -0.127708] United Kingdom (Country), England (State), Unknown (County), London (City) Geolocation (GOOGLE) -> [51.503363, -0.127625] United Kingdom (Country), Unknown (State), Greater London (County), London (City) So a few questions. 1) Is google preferred (especially for people who have sites in a Country that has Counties). 2) Are people happy to have Counties and States on the same level in the menu. 3) Are there countries that have BOTH Counties and States or are they mutually exclusive. 4) Do people need/want the double name entries on the last location menu (two pictures attached to show the difference for what i mean). I have a simple system with ony 38 locations. People may have lots more where this has an advantage.

Question about aggregated traffic graph for Dell DRAC
by Steffie Morris 04 Aug '15

04 Aug '15

Hi, i have some Dell DRAC's added to observium, and i am seeing some strange things. The aggegrated graph from the overview page of the device gives an error "error Drawing graph". However the individual graphs per port are created just fine. the poller.php -d doesn't give any errors that i can see. Another question is probably about all the metrics received from DRAC, i have a few OSses that have the Dell ISM (Integrated Service Module) installed. This allows the NIC's from the OS to be seen in the DRAC web interface. Would observium be able to read these ports as wel? Tnx! Steffie

Qestion about VLANs tab on switch page
by Steffie Morris 04 Aug '15

04 Aug '15

Hi, i also have a question about the VLANs tab for switches. Why are a lot of switchports displayed being a member of VLAN1? because i don't think these ports are in vlan1? On the Ports page for different model switches, there are also differences. For cisco it is able to display the (untagged) vlan, but for some switch vendors it will say in text Dot1Q. Perhaps because the vendor will return a native and a untagged vlan (even if they are the same?) Just trying to understand what i am looking at, and how the interpret :)
