eth0, vlan, missing port speeds
by Simon Smith 28 Jul '15

28 Jul '15

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.

Just for grins, I checked mine this morning before running the latest round of updates (which I usually only do manually once a week), and my TS-269L's serial was showing correctly in the inventory screen... was there really anything broken?

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

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

Scheduled downtime or maintence
by Brad Bendy 25 Jul '15

25 Jul '15

Hi, Ive got a customer location that they have to reboot machines nightly (old Asterisk boxes that have not been upgraded yet), and so obviously this throws a wrench in on alerts. Im not seeing anything in the documentation to where you can schedule downtime or maintenance, like Nagios let's say does. One thing I thought of was disable the poller during this window, then enable it back with a script, pretty janky but that would work for now. Is this something planned on the roadmap and have others shown any interest in this? Thanks

Displaying ports sensors with ports
by Louis Bailleul 23 Jul '15

23 Jul '15

Hi, I am monitoring an Arista 7508E with 4x7500E-36Q-LC line cards. This are 40GB ports that can be subdivided into 10GB ports. This represent a maximum of 576 10GB ports, each of them having several sensors (See below what the Observium inventory reports). Right now, these sensors are graphed all together with the chassis sensors making graphs that are not really useful (See attached). Is it/would it be possible, to display each sensors in the detailed view of the ports instead ? * 1. Xcvr Slot 1Xcvr Slot 1 * 1. QSFP-40G-SR4Xcvr for Ethernet4/1 [Serial: XMD13450006W] * 1.

Question about traffic graphs
by Talk Jesus 22 Jul '15

22 Jul '15

Hi, My data center bills me based on 95th percentile and Mbps, but Observium shows traffic as bits/second. My monthly allowance is 100Mbps, how would I convert that to the bits/second in 95th? They also state they bill me on bandwidth utilization, not data used. Finally, they state they use 5 minute intervals for data collection, I guess that's also called 'polling' if I'm not mistaken? I could not find any info on how often the data is collected. Just to clarify, if I got the calculation right - 100Mbps = 30TB /mo (rounded off).

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.

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
by Ryan Milton 16 Jul '15

16 Jul '15

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.

First CE installation: Authentication issues
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?
