RRD graphs legend
by Attila Nagy 22 Jul '15

22 Jul '15

Hi All! I was thinking whether there is some way to make the graphs more user friendly. I am talking about aggregated RRDTool graphs that have more data lines in it. One example (as seen in the attached screenshot) is the typical filesystem usage graph of a linux host, that has a legend below it, but as the colors are not quite unique (at more than 5-6 data lines some colors will overlap inevitably) you can't really find out which line is which. If you want to find out which data line has that glitch that you saw in the aggregated graph, there is no other way than looking at each data separately. Is there a way/plan to overcome this limitation? Regards, Tylla

OVS integration plugin for observium available?
by gmail 21 Jul '15

21 Jul '15

Hi, Is there any plugin for observium to monitor traffic that's being handled by a OpenVswitch? We have built an openstack-environment and it's built on openvswitch with neutron, I would love to see the integration to be able to see traffic on OVS-ports. The only option we have today is going zenoss monitoring, from what i've found out there on google atleast. If there's no solution for this I would suggest someone building one as the lack of monitoring openstack and virtualswitches are big. Thanks /Tobias

no rancid integration
by Ryan Milton 20 Jul '15

I attempted the rancid integration from the configuration options. I had a separate rancid configuration that I attempted to modify following the guide that seems to have broken my rancid. Please help. Either I need a way to reverse the effect of this command: php /opt/observium/scripts/generate-rancid.php > /var/lib/rancid/networking/router.db or fix rancid's ability to read the etc/hosts file I now keep getting this in /tmp: -rw-r----- 1 rancid rancid 0 Jul 18 03:45 .networking.run.lock I think my rancid can't read the /etc/hosts or something, because testing clogin results like this: rancid@rancid:/var/lib/rancid/logs$ /usr/lib/rancid/bin/clogin 192.168.80.1 192.168.80.1 spawn telnet 192.168.80.1 Trying 192.168.80.1...

Observium Rocks
by Robert Williams 20 Jul '15

20 Jul '15

Hi, I just wanted to say that Observium rocks. Having just completed 4 weeks of back-to-back network upgrades (replacing most of our core hardware across 4 different sites) we have found Observium invaluable as a means of identifying issues, immediately, for new hardware which has just been installed. As well as spotting BGP sessions with issues, ports with CRC errors, or light levels which are out of scope. Requiring the least information from us, for the most detailed output back to us in return, coupled with a summary of ‘what needs to be fixed’ in a single page. Over the years we have been using it, we have watched it grow from a nice little auto-detecting utility, into an extremely powerful monitoring system. So, rather than posting a bug or feature request, I just thought I’d say thank you to the team who feed into this product. You have saved me from more than one unnecessary headache, in the last 4 weeks alone! Cheers :) Robert Williams Custodian Data Centre Email: Robert(a)CustodianDC.com http://www.CustodianDC.com

Thank you all Observium developers.
by Jolyon Ansuz 20 Jul '15

20 Jul '15

Hello all, I’d like to thank the developers of Observium, whomever you are. I’ve run up a VMWare Ubuntu server 14.x with Observium to replace an ageing and unsupported Cacti installation here. We're running Many(TM) core, distribution and edge routers and switches and this install is looking at every port I can get SNMP to. We use Enterasys/Extreme and a couple of Cisco devices. The alpha prototype has moved to beta and people here are liking what they are seeing. Soon, with some more documentation, I’ll elevate this to production. So, whilst I have hundreds of switches to deal with, this means thousands of ports to deal with and as any good lazy administrator, I found it was easier to utilise my database development experience and go straight to the databases, which I now offer to the group as examples, yes Examples(TM) for others to learn from. You will require some database knowledge to grok these. Sincerely, Jolyon Ansuz Senior Network and Communications Administrator Communications Infrastructure Information Technology University of New England Armidale NSW 2351 P: +61 2 6773 3568 M: +61 412 735 836 L: jansuz @ une.edu.au This message contains confidential information and is intended only for the individual named.

Alert emails header
by Fabrice Charlier 17 Jul '15

17 Jul '15

Hi all, Since last update of observium professional version that we did last monday, alert emails are not anymore accepted by our mailing list service (based on Sympa software). After investigations by our mail system administrator, it seems that problem is coming from fields ordering in observium mails header: "From", "Date" et "Message-ID" should be before others fields prefixed by "X-". Another problem is that email address in "From" field should be between "< >". Example of mail generated by observium here: http://pastebin.com/tiJFG10e If we modify this example like this http://pastebin.com/DryMB9MJ, it's correctly delivered by our mailing list service. I suppose that some modifications have been done in observium mail system in last weeks because it's a very new problem for us.

New install testing

I am testing this product. I have only one device which successful added. Everything looks good but for the fact that I see no output on the graphs. They are blank. I’ve seen some replies that say “You installed incorrectly.” Do I need to just go through the installation steps again? Or is there a better way to address what I missed? Thank you, Ryan

upgrade to PRo version
by Samarasinghe, Sujith 16 Jul '15

16 Jul '15

Hi , I am trying out Observium for our network monitoring software. One of the option I have seen is alerts are not working on CE version . Do we need to purchase Professional membership to enable that function? I believe its GBK 150 per year . After we purchase professional version do we receive the path the receive the new installation repo and can the current testing CE version update to professional version seamlessly? Thanks, Sujith.

by Ciro Iriarte 16 Jul '15

16 Jul '15

Hi!, I just upgraded my home test installation from old SVN version to CE edition and I'm having issues authenticating with http-auth. On the first try I get my own AuthName which has a value of "testing lab" but once I input the authentication info I get another box asking for authentication, with a new AuthName with value "Unauthorised access or use shall render the user liable to criminal and/or civil prosecution.". Can anybody tell me if authentication changed sin the single version times?. This is the configuration file that worked previusly: <VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot /opt/observium/html/ ServerName observium.lab.com CustomLog /opt/observium/logs/access_log combined ErrorLog /opt/observium/logs/error_log <Directory "/opt/observium/html/"> AllowOverride All Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews Includes Require all granted Order allow,deny Allow from all AuthType Kerberos AuthName "testing lab" KrbMethodNegotiate On KrbMethodK5Passwd On KrbAuthRealms LAB.COM Krb5KeyTab /etc/httpd/lab.keytab KrbLocalUserMapping On Require valid-user </Directory> </VirtualHost> Any pointers?

Reporting
by Josh Hopper 14 Jul '15

14 Jul '15

Your software gets better and better. The metrics are wonderful but I spend a lot of time screenshotting them to send to our executives. Can you put a print button in? Or, even better, CRON a print job to send say a week/month/day’s worth of bandwidth on a specific port or server to an email address? That would be amazing. Or, is that something we could pay for and have added to the version(s) for everyone? I’m on subscription if that matters.

GeoLocation slightly off?
by Rudolf Hoehler 13 Jul '15

13 Jul '15

Hello Community, I've read through the archives and I've got my geo-location sysLocation string working. What I cannot find an answer on is why the Latitude/Longitude insists on being slightly different from the actual co-ordinteas that I specify. As you can see in the screen shot, Observium parses the SysLocation fine and passes the exact correct values to MAPQUEST. Where do the slightly incorrect values come from? Thanks for any help guys.

Large number of defunct shell processes

Hello. We're running Pro build 6606 on an Ubuntu 14.04 machine. I'm consistently seeing large (>100) numbers of defunct processes lingering on the box. E.g.: ... www-data 31956 32711 0 14:09 ? 00:00:00 [sh] <defunct> www-data 32623 17403 0 11:37 ? 00:00:00 [sh] <defunct> www-data 32641 23519 0 11:37 ? 00:00:00 [sh] <defunct> www-data 32661 23519 0 11:37 ? 00:00:00 [sh] <defunct> Can anybody shed some light on why these are hanging around and what to do? They're causing our system monitoring to make grumpy noises... Thanks! -Pete

Infiniband adapter on linux hosts
by Louis Bailleul 09 Jul '15

09 Jul '15

Hi all, I would like to know if any of you have been able to monitor Infiniband traffic on Linux hosts with Observium. I have added some nodes with Mellanox cards (MT27500 [ConnectX-3]) to Observium but it seems to see them only when they are configured for Ethernet traffic. I have no issue monitoring Infiniband switches (mostly Mellanox SX6012 ) but is there a way to display Infiniband traffic from a Linux box in Observium ? Best regards, Louis

Dual Purpose Interface
by Johnston, Tom 09 Jul '15

09 Jul '15

2960X switches and newer styles of switches have dual speed SFP slots. On my 2960X I have switched from 1GIG SFP to a 10GIG SFP. This changes the ports from GigabitEthernet to TenGigabitEthernet. In the switch config now the GigabitEthernet ports are gone (they get removed from running config) and now TenGigabit Ports are present and in use. Observium still shows both types of interfaces present, and there is none to delete under ports. It also doesn’t show that the TenGig port is up even though it is up. Whats the best way to handle this? Delete/re-add switch? Te1/0/1 connected trunk full 10G SFP-10GBase-LRM (was the gigabit 1/0/49) Te1/0/2 notconnect 1 full 10G Not Present (was the gigabit 1/0/50) Po2 VV-6504 notconnect 1 auto auto Fa0 disabled routed auto auto 10/100BaseTX VV-IDF3-2960X01# 10149 GigabitEthernet1/0/49 VV-6504 G4/8 Ethernet enabled / down No Yes No Yes 64bit 10150 GigabitEthernet1/0/50 VV-6504 G4/9 Ethernet enabled / down No Yes No Yes 64bit 10201 TenGigabitEthernet1/0/1 Ethernet enabled / down No Yes No Yes 32bit 10202 TenGigabitEthernet1/0/2 Ethernet enabled / down No Yes No Yes 32bit Thanks in advance Thanks in advance

New 6500-E Module
by Johnston, Tom 09 Jul '15

09 Jul '15

After adding a new 6500 module to multiple Cisco 6504-E (added WS-6816-10G) the module shows up in Observium after being polled as expected. The issue is the module isn’t being updated. Ports that are up are showing as disable/down it is also not drawing graphs as its not seeing it as up. The port is actually up and passing traffic but that is not being reflected in Observium. The only thing that fixes this is deleting/re-adding the device. I assume there is a more appropriate way to fix this. ------------------------------------------------ Debug shows the following: PERMISSIONS CHECK.

Smokeping tab missing from Observium
by Nate Mellendorf 08 Jul '15

08 Jul '15

Observium team and community, My apologies if this has been pointed out, but I didn't see it in the most recent e-mails for the mailing list. We're running 0.15.7.6605 of Observium, and our smokeping tab has recently disappeared. We could rollback to see what version it vanished from, but I wanted to reach out first. Image: Config.php: // Smokeping config $config['smokeping']['dir'] = "/core2/smokeping/"; Has anyone else experienced this issue? Thank you.

Unsubscribing from the observium (and many other) mailing list(s) 101 (WAS: RE: Auto Discovery/Automate adding devices.)
by Phillip Baker 08 Jul '15

08 Jul '15

Dear today's person who asked to be unsubscribed from a mailing list that has an unsubscribe function baked into it, Don't be that guy, guy. Here's a handy dandy guide for you and everyone else who's brain is gradually formulating a thought about this topic, before we get another raft of "I TOO WOULD LIKE TO BE UNSUBSCRIBED FROM RECEIVING THESE MESSAGES IN MY COMPUSERVE I DO NOT WANT ANY VIAGRA" emails like last time this happened. Q1: Have you *tried* to unsubscribe yourself? If no: There's a link at the bottom of every email you've received from this list (hint: http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium ), and at the bottom of the page that results from clicking on that link is a section that you will likely find relevant to your interests. Like most sane/legitimate mailing lists, the List-Unsubscribe header is also set in the mail headers of every message you receive via this mailing list: List-Unsubscribe: <http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/options/observium> - which takes you to a specific unsubscribe page. If you don't know your mailman password, reset it. The button to do that, is like, right there, maaaaan. If yes: Proceed to Q2, brave traveller. Steel yourself, the next step possibly requires reading message headers. Grab a Snickers (DISCLAIMER: Ask your doctor if Snickers is right for you). Q2: Have you checked you're trying to unsubscribe the address you actually are receiving mail for? Perhaps you're receiving mail for an alias rather than your pimary mailbox address? The message headers should tell you what this is if you can't see it any other way (look for "for <email(a)address.org>" in a "Received:" header close to you). If no: Check, and if necessary, unsubscribe again, but with the right address this time. If yes: Congratulations! You are possibly a special snowflake and possibly have an actual problem that possibly requires someone else's help, possibly, and you should have provided all this information up front to prevent being ridiculed... except you're still telling a bunch of people who can do nothing to help you. Mail the list administrator directly (who's contact email you can find on the above mentioned pages) telling them what you've tried to do, and what the email address is that is receiving the mails from the list, and then they can help you. Adam loves to help. It's practically his middle name. By now, you have now successfully unsubscribed from a mailing list.. unless Adam doesn't like you and is keeping you on the list just to torment you for some sick twisted reason (less common than you might think). A+ super great job! I'm just going to leave these here, from the thread you replied to, to make a point of some sort: > _______________________________________________ > observium mailing list > observium(a)observium.org > http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium > > > > _______________________________________________ > observium mailing list > observium(a)observium.org > http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium YES, I *HAVE* HAD A VERY ANNOYING DAY TODAY, WHY DO YOU ASK?

Auto Discovery/Automate adding devices.
by Rudolf Hoehler 08 Jul '15

08 Jul '15

Hello Team, Please can you assist me with the auto discovery. It's not working... :) I read in a mailing list archive dated Nov 2014, that it actually doesn't work? Is this still the case? Can I write my own script that adds devices from the backend? Should I use an API call or can I insert into the database directly? Further to that, 1. What happens if I try to add the same device again? Thinking from an automated system, the same hostname might have multiple interfaces that it is reachable on? 2. What happens if we change a device's host name - does observium create a new device? What is best practice when administering the system wrt device swop outs or hostname changes? Regards, Rudolf

Device Alerts on the Frontpage
by Aaron Hite 07 Jul '15

Guys, I have a question regarding alerts showing up on the frontpage. I have alerts coming to me via email when I have a alert checker looking at the memory going above 50% (testing this operation). But on the frontpage I do not see this show up in either the status boxes or under the device alerts section. I search around and can not find anything that I changed that would prevent this from showing up on the frontpage. I am sure I did something, but just not sure what? Any pointers or direction to start looking would be appreciated. Thanks, Aaron

Linux Memory Alerts
by Jason LeBlanc 07 Jul '15

07 Jul '15

Hi all, We're running PE 0.15.7.6539, it seems no matter what I set thresholds for on memory utilization for cached (I can ignore this..) and physical memory. I can look at the graphs and set thresholds to 90-95% and always get alarms. Any ideas or advice?
