false device down alerts
by Samarasinghe, Sujith 13 Aug '15

13 Aug '15

Hi Team, How to avoid false device down alerts? I think it just single ping and small network glitch on observium server to monitor device alerts are device down. I am polling every minutes though. Is there any way to let observium at least poll second time and alert device is down? Thanks, Sujith.

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.

'Duplicate entry' issues on vlans_fdb
by Aaron Mayfield 12 Aug '15

12 Aug '15

Just today I updated to the latest and greatest (0.15.8.6882). I was several revisions behind and several database updates were done as a result. After the update, I noticed my poller.php processes started taking all the CPU, started getting gaps in the graphs, etc. I noticed thousands of these entries in db.log: [2015/08/11 22:01:02 -0500] poller.php(21342): Failed dbQuery (#1062 - Duplicate entry '54-2083-6ef88537f91f' for key 'dev_vlan_mac'), Query: INSERT INTO `vlans_fdb` (`device_id`,`vlan_id`,`port_id`,`mac_address`,`fdb_status`) VALUES ('54','2083','220115','6ef88537f91f','learned') [2015/08/11 22:01:02 -0500] poller.php(21342): Failed dbQuery (#1062 - Duplicate entry '54-2084-005056a927c2' for key 'dev_vlan_mac'), Query: INSERT INTO `vlans_fdb` (`device_id`,`vlan_id`,`port_id`,`mac_address`,`fdb_status`) VALUES ('54','2084','220115','005056a927c2','learned') [2015/08/11 22:01:02 -0500] poller.php(21342): Failed dbQuery (#1062 - Duplicate entry '54-2084-a66aaf0bf4cc' for key 'dev_vlan_mac'), Query: INSERT INTO `vlans_fdb` (`device_id`,`vlan_id`,`port_id`,`mac_address`,`fdb_status`) VALUES ('54','2084','220115','a66aaf0bf4cc','learned') [2015/08/11 22:01:02 -0500] poller.php(21342): Failed dbQuery (#1062 - Duplicate entry '54-2085-228a3d193c66' for key 'dev_vlan_mac'), Query: INSERT INTO `vlans_fdb` (`device_id`,`vlan_id`,`port_id`,`mac_address`,`fdb_status`) VALUES ('54','2085','220115','228a3d193c66','learned') [2015/08/11 22:01:02 -0500] poller.php(21342): Failed dbQuery (#1062 - Duplicate entry '54-2086-0ee7c729643b' for key 'dev_vlan_mac'), Query: INSERT INTO `vlans_fdb` (`device_id`,`vlan_id`,`port_id`,`mac_address`,`fdb_status`) VALUES ('54','2086','220115','0ee7c729643b','learned') If I run a poller process against a switch manually, everything seems to run fine with the exception of the fdb-table module, which is taking over 600 seconds to run.

Error: Blank Page - Alert Checks
by Nate Mellendorf 10 Aug '15

10 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. I know It's not related to any recent updates, as it's been this way for a few months now. We just haven't had time to investigate it further. Example URL: http://obsevium.testing.local/alert_checks/ I've renamed the following files in hopes that it was a simple corruption issue. However, the issue still persists. $ sudo svn update && php discovery.php -u Restored 'html/pages/alert_log.inc.php' Restored 'html/pages/alert_checks.inc.php' Restored 'html/pages/alerts.inc.php' Restored 'html/pages/alert_check.inc.php' At revision 6859. -- Database is up to date. Has anyone seen this before? I'd be more than happy to provide additional debug output. Images: Thank you.

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.

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 :)

Has anyone run FreeRADIUS on the same server as Observium? Any issues? I'm running on CentOS 6.6 and am wondering if anything will "step on" Observium; MySQL settings, maybe?

Hi, i added a few synologyNAS to play with in observium and i noticed that the inventory tab seems incomplete. In the main overview i see there are 8 disks in the system, but in the inventory tab only 5 numbered items are listed. But all the /dev/sdx devices are listed. 1536 ST3000DM001-1CH166 hrDeviceDiskStorage 0 1537 ST3000DM001-1CH166 hrDeviceDiskStorage 0 1538 ST3000DM001-1CH166 hrDeviceDiskStorage 0 1539 ST3000DM001-1CH166 hrDeviceDiskStorage 0 1540 ST3000DM001-1CH166 hrDeviceDiskStorage 0 1552 SCSI disk (/dev/sda) hrDeviceDiskStorage 0 1553 SCSI disk (/dev/sdb) hrDeviceDiskStorage 0 1554 SCSI disk (/dev/sdc) hrDeviceDiskStorage 0 1555 SCSI disk (/dev/sdd) hrDeviceDiskStorage 0 1556 SCSI disk (/dev/sde) hrDeviceDiskStorage 0 1557 SCSI disk (/dev/sdf) hrDeviceDiskStorage 0 1558 SCSI disk (/dev/sdg) hrDeviceDiskStorage 0 1559 SCSI disk (/dev/sdh) hrDeviceDiskStorage 0 Is there anything i can do to add or check to help in see what is going wrong?

Configuring map interface on new observium installation
by Andi Qirjazi 31 Jul '15

31 Jul '15

Hi, I have just installed & configured observium for the first time. The first two devices are added and seems working, but I'm having problem displaying these devices on the map. All the time there is a blue sign on the middle on Atlantic ocean, it doesn't matter what I configure as device location. Please any idea how to configure the map? I have tried all the possible configurations at /opt/observium/config.php settings but with no success. This installation is behind a proxy server, but I have allowed all the traffic from observium host and I don't see any traffic from this host towards proxy server. I did the following configuration on monitored devices for SNMP settings as follow: R_TR#sh run | s snmp snmp-server community aaaaaaa RO snmp-server ifindex persist snmp-server location Berlin, DE snmp-server contact bbbbbbbbbb at Observium main page, at location tab, is listed Berlin, DE (or Rome, IT another device) but no indication on the map for both devices. regarding proxy server configuration, at \opt\observium\config.php file I have the following settings: //configure proxy server settings $config['http proxy'] = "myproxy:8080"; with no username and password, because I have allowed all the traffic from observium host and it has internet access, because I did manually update and it worked normally. Please could you send me a sample of a working map configuration? I have the following configuration regarding geolocation at config.php file: // $config['frontpage']['map']['region'] = " https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/gall$ $config['geocoding']['enable'] =TRUE; $config['geocoding']['dns'] = FALSE; $config['location_menu_geocoded'] = FALSE; $config['geocoding']['api'] = ' www.googleapis.com/geolocation/v1/geolocate?key=aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa'; I even tried with just 'google' as API, but it doesn't change anything. thanks in advance, Andi Qirjazi

"A lot of ports": Error Drawing Graph
by Wiethoff, Helge 28 Jul '15

28 Jul '15

Hi all, my problem is, that a few overall traffic graphs aren‘t displayed, since updating from r6722 (2015-07-21) to r6766. This only occurs with devices that have more than about 100 ports. (These are not incredibly many ports, but in this case the problem occurs in this magnitude.) I tried to update the device by discovery.php and poller.php without success. The debugging message (&debug=1) says that the rrd command fails: RRD_STATUS[FALSE]. When i copy the RRD-Cmd and execute it within the shell, it works fine. Interestingly, for a device with 98 ports the problem occurs only for the large graphs shown (as can be seen in the attached screenshot grapherror.png). Has anyone of you an idea? That would be nice :) Regards, Helge ________________________________ Helge Wiethoff Medienzentrum Telefon: +49 (234) 968 8717 Fax: +49 (234) 968 3453 E-Mail: Wiethoff(a)tfh-bochum.de Technische Fachhochschule Georg Agricola für Rohstoff, Energie und Umwelt zu Bochum Staatlich anerkannte Fachhochschule der DMT-Gesellschaft für Lehre und Bildung mbH Herner Straße 45 44787 Bochum http://www.tfh-bochum.de ________________________________ Träger: DMT-Gesellschaft für Lehre und Bildung mbH Sitz der Gesellschaft: Bochum Registergericht: Amtsgericht Bochum Handelsregister: B 4052 Geschäftsführung: Prof. Dr. Jürgen Kretschmann (Vorsitzender) Manfred Freitag

Restrict config access to users
by Spencer Ryan 28 Jul '15

28 Jul '15

Hey Adam (and all), I asked about this previously but never heard back. I'd really like a way to give people the ability to see a device but not see the config tab. We've got rancid integration turned on, and I want to give specific users access to see devices, but they shouldn't be able to see the device configs. Hopefully it would be easy to do (maybe say users with a level of < X can't see that tab) Thanks! *Spencer Ryan* | Senior Systems Administrator | sryan(a)arbor.net *Arbor Networks* +1.734.794.5033 (d) | +1.734.846.2053 (m) www.arbornetworks.com

Hi All, this is a random question, I’ve just noticed on my Observium that the is no Port speeds for any of our Ethernet ports on our debian servers ? but also, the is no Ports speeds for any of our VLAN interfaces on our mikrotik switches either ? I don’t have any event-logs showing the speeds changed or anything? where should i begin looking why the speeds have just vanished? Regards Simon

Design idea
by Zach Underwood 28 Jul '15

28 Jul '15

Before we spend to much time setting something up I want to make sure that I was on the right track. We have many wireless ubnt unifi APs and there snmp on the APs themselves sucks. But the wireless controller does have a nice API what print out a json output listing every client connect to AP managed by the controller. The json has the mac, connection time, connection duration, AP currently connection to and much more. The idea is to use the unix/linux agent on the controller to connection to API on localhost and download json and clean data up. The observium can poll the unix agent and chart/display the data. Is this crazy or am I on the right track.

Need more info about Observium and IPMI
by Henry Collins 26 Jul '15

Hello Observium community, I am using Observium Professional version and I have some computers that only support IPMI protocol and not SNMP. Observium's wiki is very ambiguous and there is not enough information about usage of IPMI in Observium. Did anyone manage to successfully use IPMI together with Observium? It would be very nice to get more information about this and maybe even a guide on how you add a device that only supports IPMI protocol. Best regards, Henry Collins
