All, Is it possible to display traffic for several hosts ? Now I can see only the compete traffic for the http service, I would like to see the traffic for each virtual host. Or give me some pointers to get me on the way, BTW i’m not a programmer only a system engineer. Thanks

Support

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. Any assistance appreciated! Robert Williams Custodian Data Centre Email: Robert(a)CustodianDC.com http://www.CustodianDC.com

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

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
by Andi Qirjazi 02 Jul '15

02 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. thanks in advance, Andi Qirjazi

Device Storage graphs draw errors when in widescreen mode
by Louis Bailleul 01 Jul '15

01 Jul '15

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. I think something similar was reported on Jira but it didn't went far : http://jira.observium.org/browse/OBSERVIUM-1248 You can find attached screenshots of the issue. For the record I am 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 5.3.3 Python Python 2.6.6 MySQL 5.1.73 SNMP NET-SNMP 5.5 RRDtool 1.4.9 Best regards, Louis

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

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.

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?

CISCO-IP-LOCAL-POOL-MIB
by Matthias Cramer 25 Jun '15

25 Jun '15

Hi All I had a look into the Cisco IP local pool MIB, as we have IP Pools on our LNS for the DSL Customers. It would be nice if we could monitor the usage of these pools in Observium. I looked around in the code, but found no similar discoverer/poller to start with. There seams no sensor type to fit such values. Can anyone give me a hint? Or is already someone working on that?

Juniper EX4550 - Snmp issue
by Raphael Maunier 24 Jun '15

24 Jun '15

Hello, Since 2 or 3 months I have some issue with some of our EX4550. For some reason,, some of the switches are just polling from time to time ( first 2 screencap ) and others are just not polling ( 3 - 4 -5 ) the funny thing is : I don’t have this issue on cacti ( the switches are also polled from Cacti ) I have 3 Junos version running on the backbone and only 3 out of 20 ex4450 have this issue ( and they don’t have the same junos version ). The filter on the loopback interfaces are exactly the same. I can have the arp table, the lldp and bgp/ospf neig but not the if graphing … I already restarted snmp and tried many other thing on the juniper itself. Thanks, Raphael

MySQL App Graphics of only one device don't work anymore
by Ximena Cardinali 24 Jun '15

24 Jun '15

Hi, Today I had to restart a VM and when I checked the Statistics I saw that the MySQL graphics of the VM don't work anymore since last week: [image: Inline images 1] The MySQL Graphics of other devices are working properly but this one. Nothing was changed on that VM ever since. I tried to run the discovery and poller script in Debug mode and I found no errors (maybe I'm blind). I renamed and deleted the rrd Files, deactivated and re-activated the Agent for this specific App, and nothing. When I telnet the VM from the Observium Host, I get some results: <<<mysql>>> a0:962085 a1:249635 a2:14093 a3:3755 a4:2617 a5:22885515 a6:1 a7:4 a8:-1 a9:-1 aa:8192 ab:4428 ac:3735 ad:0 ae:3605 af:130 ag:1486 ah:4630 ai:3744 aj:6044 ak:4472 al:0 am:0 an:0 ao:0 ap:0 aq:0 ... Does anyone have any idea of what can be the error? Thanks, Ximena.

Alert Checker Up/Down Dependency
by Thiedek, Vic 24 Jun '15

24 Jun '15

Hey, Is there a way to create an alert checker that will only report devices down if a device they are behind is up? We have remote offices with 100's of devices, and if there is a WAN issue, we receive 100's of alerts from Observium for that location. Is there a way to create a condition in an alert checker that a device (ex: router) has to be in an "up" status in order for devices behind it to alert as "down" That way if the Router/WAN is "down" we would only get that alert, not all the other devices. Example: This Alert Checker only alerts on devices in TN Entity Type: Device Check Conditions: device_status equals 0 Device Match: location match *TN* Entity Match: * Alert Delay 1 Example: This Alert Checker only alerts on devices in CA when the Router (specific device) is "up" Entity Type: Device Check Conditions: A Specific Device status equals 1 // check that office WAN router is "up" (I know this not a correct syntax, just example) device_status equals 0 //check that device is down AND Device Match: location match *CA* Entity Match: * Alert Delay 2 Cheers! Vic

Device poll order
by Lambert, Benoit 23 Jun '15

23 Jun '15

Hey Observium team, Question: Does poller-wrapper/poller.php poll devices in the same order each time? Or is it randomized? e.g. If poller-wrapper starts one CRON session with device ID 500, will it always start with device id 500 in other CRON sessions to come? Thanks.

Correction of uptime-spikes?
by Pål Rydningen 23 Jun '15

23 Jun '15

Hi all Im monitoing a Windows server that is scheduled to reboot daily. But the "Uptime" graph is showing odd spikes that cannot possibly reflect actual values. [image: Inline image 2] I've used the "removespikes.pl" script, pr. instructions, but get no feedback from the scripts and the graphs remain unchanged. What would be the best way to correct the data? Using : *Observium CE*0.14.4.5229*Apache*2.2.22 (Debian)*PHP*5.4.39-0+deb7u2*MySQL* 5.5.43-0+deb7u1*SNMP*NET-SNMP version: 5.4.3*RRDtool*1.4.7 -- Pål R.

Will SVN username and password change?
by Lambert, Benoit 22 Jun '15

22 Jun '15

Hey Observium team, We recently renewed our subscription and it looks like our username changed (4 numbers added at the end). Will this impact the SVN update script we use to update Observium (will we have to change our username in the script to reflect the new change?). Thanks. Benoit Lambert Network Analyst @ NorthernTel

SVN commit mail crashed our mail server
by Michael.Weinrich＠picturemaxx.com 22 Jun '15

22 Jun '15

Hello, the SVN commit mail from the observium-svn list yesterday (2015-06-04 16:46:51 +0200) crashed our mail server, most likely because the subject was way too long. I don't know, what script/hook you are using, but the standard in RFC 2822, section 2.1.1. states that "Each line of characters MUST be no more than 998 characters, and SHOULD be no more than 78 characters, excluding the CRLF" The subject of said mail was way over 2000 characters. For now I unsubscribed from that list because I don't want to kill e-mail for everybody in the office once in a while, but can you have a look into this issue and tell me when it is fixed, so I can resubscribe?

Not sure what I’m doing wrong here but when I added the following I lost the nice summary bar at the top of the page above the map that states the amount of devices alerts etc. // Frontpage order you can use: map, device_status, overall_traffic, custom_traffic, minigraphs, syslog, eventlog $config['frontpage']['order'] = array('map', 'overall_traffic', 'custom_traffic', 'minigraphs', 'device_status', 'syslog', 'eventlog'); Any ideas on what I’m doing wrong here? If I comment this line out it comes back but then I don’t see any of my custom mini-grpahs :/ —Jeff
