VLAN Bandwidth Measuring Support
by Fred Pedrisa 10 Jul '15

10 Jul '15

Dear, guys. We are using H3C 5820 switch (comware) and currently now observium supports it pretty well, however a feature it is missing, is the bandwidth measuring for the Vlan-Interfaces this switch have. Is there any way it could be implemented ? Sincerely, -- Fred Pedrisa

Large number of defunct shell processes
by Peter Loron 10 Jul '15

10 Jul '15

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 10 Jul '15

10 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 10 Jul '15

10 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?

New 6500-E Module
by Johnston, Tom 10 Jul '15

10 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 09 Jul '15

09 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.

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 08 Jul '15

08 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

Dear Observium Team,, We need your support on this, we try to install MIB's from Eltek(power supply tool) in Observium. We did receive the MIB's from Eltek. After install the MIB's and reboot we see that the system is trying to Read the Eltek MIB's but we see that OID's in the system are not recognized. Is there a way how we can solve this problem, do we need to add some script in Observium to make it work? You support is more than welcome! Kind Regards, Dave Bats

mysql_fetch_array replacement?
by Robert Williams 06 Jul '15

06 Jul '15

Hi, After the SVN up on the 18th July the script we use for generating the Smokeping targets stopped producing any data (the list of slightly reformatted hostnames). The script itself was taken from this mailing list about 2 years ago and is as follows: #!/usr/bin/env php <?php include("/opt/observium/includes/defaults.inc.php"); include("/opt/observium/config.php"); include("/opt/observium/includes/definitions.inc.php"); include("/opt/observium/includes/functions.php"); echo "*** Targets ***\n\nprobe = FPing\n\nmenu = Top\ntitle = Network Latency Grapher\nremark = Welcome to SmokePing\n\n"; $query = mysql_query("SELECT hostname FROM `devices` WHERE `disabled`=0 ORDER BY hostname"); while ($data = mysql_fetch_array($query)) { $hostid = str_replace(".","_",$data['hostname']); $hostname = $data['hostname']; echo "+ $hostid\n\nhost = $hostname\n\n"; } ?> I can see that /includes/functions.php no longer exists but it’s replacement in functions.inc.php does not appear to have a function for mysql_fetch_array(). So my question is, can someone point me to the correct replacement function for this? I’ve had a look through it and can’t see what I’m looking for, but PHP is not my ‘thing’ so I’m missing it.

DD-WRT question
by Roland Hill 06 Jul '15

06 Jul '15

Hi, I run Observium on my home network, so appreciate the CE Edition (CE 0.15.6.6430). I have 2 dd-wrt based switches, and I remember when they were first discovered by Observium quite a while back, they displayed a dd-wrt logo on the device list. This hasn't occurred for a while now, and I just was interested to know if it is possible for this to happen? Screen shots attached fyi (hopefully they won't get stripped). This is a very minor question (hope the "noise is okay"), but if anyone has an answer I'd appreciate it. -- Regards, Roland Hill

Scaling adjustment for UPS sensors
by Robert Williams 03 Jul '15

03 Jul '15

Hi, Is there a way to adjust the re-scaling for auxiliary UPS sensors? We’ve just been given some external sensors for our Riello units to play with; and whilst Observium can indeed see them, their temperatures are out by one decimal place: [cid:image001.png@01D0B4D2.A73E1560] (it should be 19.5C, obviously) The RH is fine interestingly, and this is only affecting the ‘external’ sensors in the NetMan card, not the built-in sensor. Interestingly, Riello also give out the ‘chassis’ temperature under the ‘battery’ temperature OID, which is why it shows our batteries as 27 degrees, they are not - and this is not Observium’s fault ☺ Anyway, is there a manual ‘tweak’ to correct the scaling for the temperature? Cheers! Robert Williams Custodian Data Centre Email: Robert(a)CustodianDC.com http://www.CustodianDC.com

Re: [Observium] ifSpeed/ifHighSpeed messages - HP C7000 Virtual Connect
by Oesterlin, Robert 03 Jul '15

We saw the same thing when we tested SolarWinds, so it’s definitely on the HP side. Pending me to get HP to actually fix the bug, can you think of a way I can suppress these messages, either filtering them out or limiting the SNMP response? Of course I can always tweak the code, but that’s a last resort option. Bob Oesterlin Sr Storage Engineer, Nuance Communications 507-269-0413

ifSpeed/ifHighSpeed messages - HP C7000 Virtual Connect
by Oesterlin, Robert 03 Jul '15

03 Jul '15

We recently installed Observium and we’re receiving messages from the majority of our C7000 Virtual connects in the event log that look like this: 2015-07-03 06:28:32 lag27 Interface changed: [ifSpeed] 10000000000 -> 40000000000; [ifHighSpeed] 10000 -> 40000 2015-07-03 06:23:31 lag27 Interface changed: [ifSpeed] 40000000000 -> 10000000000; [ifHighSpeed] 40000 -> 10000 2015-07-02 23:58:34 lag27 Interface changed: [ifSpeed] 10000000000 -> 40000000000; [ifHighSpeed] 10000 -> 40000 2015-07-02 23:53:38 lag27 Interface changed: [ifSpeed] 40000000000 -> 10000000000; [ifHighSpeed] 40000 -> 10000 These VC’s have a 4 port LACP group to the core switch. I see nothing in the system log on either side that would indicate the interface speed is actually changing (link downs, errors) or other SNMP errors, so I’m inclined to think these message can be ignored. Any thoughts? If it’s a bug in the HP SNMP implementation on the VC’s I can submit a ticket. Otherwise I’d like to find a way to suppress them if I can.

Configuring map interface on new observium installation

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. thanks in advance, Andi Qirjazi

Device Storage graphs draw errors when in widescreen mode

Hi, I have noticed an issue with the device filesystems graphs : they do not display correctly in widescreen mode. The RRD command/debug says : RRDTool Output: ERROR: Legend too long But if I paste the actual rrd command in the terminal, it runs fine and the output graph is correct too. It seems to be only happening with the filesystems usage graphs.

The failed port filter is broken after update to 6535
by Marco Spicuglia 01 Jul '15

01 Jul '15

Hello there, after I upgraded to 6535, I noticed that the "ports down" filter doesn't work anymore. I have a couple of ports down at the moment, in the status box. But if I click on that red 2, then I get all ports down in the network, including the ignored ones. But I actually have a second issue too. I also noticed that if I make an account for a customer, with restricted access to their ports only, observium will still show them the global regex for the alerting systems, but also forbidden menu items, such as the groups, which give the normal users access to too sensitive information. It looks like the permission filtering in the alerts box is not really working the same way as in the status box on the left, same happens in the menus on top. I had to remove the groups in order to preserve our customers privacy, even though I found them very useful. Is there an available solution for the above already? Thanks a lot in advance for your help. Cheers, Marco

Small Community Edition update
by Adam Armstrong 30 Jun '15

30 Jun '15

I just pushed out another CE tar. It fixes a tiny HTML issue with eventlog rendering on the device page. It's super annoying, so you should update! Remember, if your CE install doesn't say "0.15.6" at the bottom, you're running an old version! adam. Sent from Mailbird [http://www.getmailbird.com/?utm_source=Mailbird&utm_medium=email&ut…]

"Interface changed:" events
by Robert Williams 29 Jun '15

29 Jun '15

Hi, Since the scheduled SVN at 06:00 this morning we seem to be getting these for all of our (old, very) 3Com 2948 switches: They occur on every poll, for every port, and are currently spamming the event log. Anyone have any ideas? I've just done a forced SVN up to 6518 but it's still occurring. My guess is it happened around 6514 which was what it was running this morning when it appears to have started.

Installing JpGraph blanks out bills page
by Rudolf Hoehler 27 Jun '15

27 Jun '15

Hello, I just installed jpgraph to get the bills page to stop prompting the "please install jpgraph" notice, and as soon as I removed the "includes/jpgraph/src/jpg-config.inc.php" file, as request, the bills page stopped loading. It's just blank. I've restarted apache and nothing in the error or access logs are pointing me in any direction. Any help to trouble shoot will be appreciated. All I did was download the jpgraph-3.5.0b1.tar.gz<http://jpgraph.net/download/download.php?p=5> file, unzip it and move it into the specified folder, and remove the config file as requested. Regards, Rudolf

I’m having an issue where it seems that host down alerts are always delayed. Where can I start with troubleshooting this issue? Note that alerts are working, but something seems to not work with host down alerts.[cid:A108895F-C5AE-4C29-B6A5-9A3D5BA08BAE]

PoE support?
by Mark D. Nagel 26 Jun '15

26 Jun '15

I was asked if we could display PoE details on switches and said "I'm sure we can!" and proceeded to find out, no, not quite yet. From what I can tell, support is only partially in place -- is that accurate? I found the global config param needed and set it, and it looks like data is collecting in RRD files, but they are not included in the device display. Is this just an in-progress thing? Thanks, Mark ./config.php:$config['enable_ports_poe'] = 1; ./includes/functions.inc.php: $rrd_types = array('adsl', 'dot3', 'fdbcount', 'poe', NULL); ./includes/defaults.inc.php:$config['enable_ports_poe'] = 0; // Enable PoE stats collection ./includes/polling/ports.inc.php: // Fetch POWER-ETHERNET-MIB and CISCO-POWER-ETHERNET-EXT-MIB if enable_ports_poe is enabled. ./includes/polling/ports.inc.php: // This data is used in the per-port poe include. ./includes/polling/ports.inc.php: $ports_module = 'enable_ports_poe'; ./includes/polling/ports.inc.php: $ports_module = 'enable_ports_poe'; ./includes/polling/ports.inc.php: if ($attribs[$ports_module] || ($config[$ports_module] && !isset($attribs[$ports_module]))) { include("port-poe.inc.php"); } ./includes/polling/port-poe.inc.php: $rrdfile = get_port_rrdfilename($port, "poe"); 266940 456 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 464632 Jun 25 08:11 ./rrd/banon/port-6-poe.rrd 274245 456 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 464632 Jun 25 08:12 ./rrd/danbo/port-8-poe.rrd 274249 456 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 464632 Jun 25 08:12 ./rrd/unifi/port-2-poe.rrd 274251 456 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 464632 Jun 25 08:16 ./rrd/colby/port-2-poe.rrd 274246 456 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 464632 Jun 25 08:12 ./rrd/hq-fw01/port-1-poe.rrd 141443 456 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 464632 Jun 25 08:15 ./rrd/hq-sw02.willingminds.com/port-10101-poe.rrd 139185 456 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 464632 Jun 25 08:11 ./rrd/hq-outsw01/port-10001-poe.rrd 266978 456 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 464632 Jun 25 08:11 ./rrd/chevre/port-7-poe.rrd 143984 456 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 464632 Jun 25 08:16 ./rrd/hq-voipsw01.willingminds.com/port-10001-poe.rrd 394012 456 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 464632 Jun 25 08:16 ./rrd/vacherin/port-1-poe.rrd 394011 456 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 464632 Jun 25 08:12 ./rrd/vignotte-drac/port-8-poe.rrd 139651 456 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 464632 Jun 25 08:12 ./rrd/valencay/port-2-poe.rrd 139671 456 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 464632 Jun 25 08:12 ./rrd/dns01/port-2-poe.rrd 274244 456 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 464632 Jun 25 08:11 ./rrd/derby/port-8-poe.rrd 394817 456 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 464632 Jun 25 08:16 ./rrd/vignotte/port-1-poe.rrd 394008 456 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 464632 Jun 25 08:11 ./rrd/hq-vpn01/port-3-poe.rrd 143874 456 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 464632 Jun 25 08:16 ./rrd/hq-ipv6.willingminds.com/port-1-poe.rrd 394829 456 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 464632 Jun 25 08:16 ./rrd/hq-ap01/port-2-poe.rrd 394010 456 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 464632 Jun 25 08:12 ./rrd/vacherin-drac/port-8-poe.rrd 143870 456 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 464632 Jun 25 08:16 ./rrd/hq-sw01.willingminds.com/port-10101-poe.rrd 394009 456 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 464632 Jun 25 08:11 ./rrd/vendomois/port-1-poe.rrd 394828 456 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 464632 Jun 25 08:16 ./rrd/hq-ap02/port-2-poe.rrd 139713 456 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 464632 Jun 25 08:15 ./rrd/hq-labsw01.willingminds.com/port-1-poe.rrd 143873 456 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 464632 Jun 25 08:16 ./rrd/hq-coresw01/port-10101-poe.rrd 139609 456 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 464632 Jun 25 08:11 ./rrd/hq-cr-epson7520/port-1-poe.rrd -- Mark D.
