hi guys, just registered to address a missing info in lighttpd installiation tutorial. "python-mysqldb" package is not in the list of prerequisite packages and what i see is it's required to run the cron "*/5 * * * * root /opt/observium/poller-wrapper.py 2 >> /dev/null 2>&1" if you can edit the tutorial, people who uses lighttpd will be able to see graphs with data. thanks for all your hard work.

Duplicate device neighbour entries
by Chard, Alex (RET-SYD) 23 Mar '15

23 Mar '15

HI All, Just wondering is anyone has seen this happening before. We have switches that run LLDP and CDP. On most switches, Observium correctly determines that the neighbour entries for each protocol are identical and ignores the second one from LLDP. However on one switch, it's decided that it represents a separate connection (see attachment) I suspect it has to do with the differing port ID, but Observium seems to be able to reconcile that on other switches. Any ideas? Thanks, Alex This e-mail is for the use of the intended recipient(s) only. If you have received this e-mail in error, please notify the sender immediately and then delete it.

Critical alert not matching alerts checker
by Robert Williams 22 Mar '15

22 Mar '15

Hi All, I have a device a Cisco 2960G with a failed internal PSU that has switched to it’s backup RPS supply. Observium is correctly identifying this as ‘critical’ under the Status Indicators for the device in question (image below): [cid:image001.png@01D064D0.36501EE0] There is a “Hardware Fault” event I have created which /should/ have matched this, I believe: [cid:image002.png@01D064D0.36501EE0] (I’ve added the match for value = critical as a test, it wasn’t there originally) This alert checker correctly matches a who load of devices and status checkers on many devices (1691 in total, all green): [cid:image003.png@01D064D0.36501EE0] However, for this particular type of sensor, it does not see any sensors which match the “Hardware Fault” checker. As you can see, I have already removed all the “Device Match” and “Entity Match” criteria from the checker itself to rule that out. So essentially this checker is matching every type of sensor that there is (except, obviously, the one which I want it to). When I click the link on the graph for “Sw1, PS1 Critical, RPS Normal” sensor I get this URL http://observium-server/device/device=343/tab=health/metric=status/ which may be of use in helping diagnose this. After doing some more checking, I’ve found that it is not matching any other kind of sensor with a similar class, for example it does not match the WS-CAC-4000W-IN power supplies in any of the Cat6k chassis either. In fact, I think it’s actually failing to match sensors which have ‘normal’ and ‘critical’ type statuses, instead of ‘true’ and ‘false’ So the following sensors highlighted in yellow are also being missed from matching in this generic alerting config: [cid:image004.png@01D064D1.B26D89D0] So I believe it’s a wider issue and not just related to this one device. Can someone confirm what I’m doing wrong and/or maybe check to see if your alerting configurations can match sensors which have an OK state of ‘normal’ instead of ‘true’? Cheers!

Down ports but can't see them
by Chard, Alex (RET-SYD) 20 Mar '15

20 Mar '15

Hi All, Got an interesting issue... Observium's dashboard shows 2 down ports [cid:image001.png@01D06344.0CB21DF0] But clicking on "2 down" takes me to a screen that shows no down ports: [cid:image002.png@01D06344.0CB21DF0] If I have any more than 2 down ports, they are displayed correctly. Any idea how I can identify the offending ports? Thanks, Alex This e-mail is for the use of the intended recipient(s) only.

tons of rrd zombie processes + solution

Hi, FYI on PHP 5.5 we saw a lot of defunt rrdtool proceeses (1 for every image created in the browser). If you see this there are a couple of fixes/work-around: 1. Fix it in observium, open ./includes/rrdtool.inc.php and change *function rrdtool_pipe_close(&$rrd_process, &$rrd_pipes)* to *function rrdtool_pipe_close($rrd_process, &$rrd_pipes)* 2. downgrade to PHP 5.4 Seems to be caused by https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69014 Regards, Gerwin Krist

Munin Alerts.

Hi All, I have successfully moved a munin under Observium which is very good. One thing that a little bit difficult for me is understanding the alerts part. All the alert examples are reasonable but how would I know if it's possible to alert on Munin Data or other things for example a faulty power supply. Can we alert based on Munin data?

Idrac support
by Dudu 11 Mar '15

11 Mar '15

Hi All, I just bought a subscription and I'm very pleased with the product. While I started to add devices I asked my self why not adding the Dell Idrac? So I did add it but all I can see is a network stuff maybe I'm missing something. The most important part of the IDRAC 7 and above is the led status of the server if the led is amber there is a hardware issue. Bellow is the OID Many Thanks query that will get overall system health, they would need to query the iDRAC7 SNMP systemLCDStatus OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX ObjectStatusEnum ACCESS read-only STATUS mandatory DESCRIPTION This attribute defines the system status as it is reflected by the LCD front panel.

Not displaying temp and fan data from Cisco ASA
by Peter Loron 09 Mar '15

09 Mar '15

Hello. We're running (for now, planning to get paid) Observium CE 0.14.11.6000. I have 3 Cisco ASA firewalls v9.2(2)4. Most of the data is coming in properly from them, but I'm not getting correct data for the fan speeds and temps. The temp graphs all show 0.0C for the temps. No lines in the graphs, etc. The fan speed graphs have a line that _looks_ like real data, but the legend says "0rpm", and the value axis has numbers like "1.0 z", "2.0 z", etc. Any suggestions or pointers? Thanks. -Pete

Dear sirs, I tried on Wednesday to subscribe to Observium for one years for 150 £ and when I validate to pay I got an error message. Few minutes spent before I validate the payment and it can explain a time out on your web site but when I tried again to login to retry, the price was changed?! Now it is 180 £ instead of 150 £, I do not want to pay 30 £ more than before!!!! Can you tell me why the price has changes ? Can you help me to subscribe with the price that was given first when I start my subscription ? Thanks in advance for your help. Best Regards, [ERIC MASSON]

Moving Observium install to another host = redirect loop
by Hogan Whittall 04 Mar '15

04 Mar '15

So, here I thought migrating to another server was going to be easy. I've synced /opt/observium and the MySQL DB to the new host.I've updated config.php with the new URL But, what happens is one of two things... - If I enter my user/pass in the UI and don't check "Remember my login" then I just get taken back to the login screen as if my login didn't work.- If I enter my user/pass in the UI and I do check "Remember my login" then my browsers (Chrome, Firefox) complain about a redirect loop. I'm not seeing any errors on the server side, the only thing is in the Apache access_log it's returning an HTTP 302 code (Found, redirect) for / instead of 200 which I get on the other host. I have no idea why it's doing this. Any help on where to look for the problem or what to fix would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! -Hogan

Device map location problem
by Tylla 02 Mar '15

02 Mar '15

Hi All! I was puzzled for some time so I decided to post this to the list. I noticed that no matter how I try to refine the position of some devices on the map, the devices are placed on the map like there was some grid. I mean I can specify the co-ordinates even to 5-6 decimal places, the final co-ordinates generated and displayed on Google Maps are only remotely associated to the ones I specified. For example here is a snippet from the javascript code of map initializing: data.addRows([ ... [47.5100487, 19.0782548, 1, 0, "1 Hosts", '47.511,19.0785', 'devices/location=WyI0Ny41MTEsMTkuMDc4NSJd/'], ... As you can see, the entered co-ordinates are not quite the ones where the pin gets put on the map. I tried to disable the location_map directive in the config file, but the computed co-ordinates are the same, only the link changes: [47.5100487, 19.0782548, 1, 0, "1 Hosts", 'Varosligeti fasor 44, Budapest 1068', 'devices/location=WyJWYXJvc2xpZ2V0aSBmYXNvciA0NCwgQnVkYXBlc3QgMTA2OCJd/'], The question is, what does Observium compute on the entered co-ordinates and why is it changing them? Not that those 100 meters do really matter, but I am curious. My system is Observium CE 0.14.11.6000 running on Debian 7..8, php 5.4.36 If I should include any other information please say so. Thanks, Tylla

Alert Checkers
by David Roush 01 Mar '15

01 Mar '15

Hello all, I was wondering if anyone could provide some help with a few alert checkers. I've tried a number of different values for these rules with no luck, hoping someone out there could give me a hand. In return I've shared a few working checkers at the bottom :). The ones I'm having issues with are below. The first two alert on session utilization for Juniper/Palo Alto firewalls, the last is meant to watch an Aruba controller and alert if a registered AP goes up or down. [cid:image002.png@01D05326.8709E660] [cid:image004.png@01D05327.A5241660] [cid:image003.png@01D05327.55396880] Here are a few goodies for you guys (keep in mind, a number of these are vague and include all devices - you'll probably want to make the match more specific): [cid:image005.png@01D05328.066A9570] [cid:image006.png@01D05328.066A9570] [cid:image007.png@01D05329.04914C20] Thanks, David Roush

Adding a Unix Agent Device

Hi Everyone, I am trying to get statistics for my VM's and nginx on each VM, so I have installed the unix-agent on the host and now getting data from the telnet test as noted in the instructions at http://www.observium.org/wiki/UNIX_Agent However I cannot find no way to add the host to Observium as it simply wants SNMP data under the Add Device option. I am clearly missing something, so any tips ? Thanks Stephen

subrate port speeds
by Mark D. Nagel 28 Feb '15

28 Feb '15

I know this came up even recently, but as I recall there is no way right now to specify subrate speeds on ports that are connected to ISP devices with lower and/or asymmetric speeds. For example, gig-E port on a firewall connected to a cable modem running at 12Mbps/3Mbps. Would it not make sense to permit an override on the reported port speed in the port settings screen for these cases? I know this violates the "limit the knobs" philosophy which I can appreciate, but I am not seeing any more general fix for this. On some platforms like IOS you can set the speed via bandwidth, but this is far from universally supported and even there setting asymmetric speed is tricky or not possible depending on version. You could set this in the ifAlias data with a parser, but again, not all platforms support that. I suppose the override could be via ifAlias/parser and then ifAlias could be settable manually if needed. Thoughts? Am I missing something obvious? Thanks, Mark -- Mark D.

setup ipmi
by Simon Smith 27 Feb '15

27 Feb '15

Hi All, this is again going to sound like a stupid question, does anyone have a guide on how to setup IPMI on a debian server? currently i can’t monitor fan speeds of our dell servers, however ive noticed 'ipmi-sensors’ is showing me 18 | Fan 1A | Fan | 3770.00 | RPM | 'OK' 19 | Fan 2A | Fan | 3828.00 | RPM | 'OK' 20 | Fan 3A | Fan | 3712.00 | RPM | 'OK' 21 | Fan 4A | Fan | 4930.00 | RPM | 'OK' 22 | Fan 5A | Fan | 3654.00 | RPM | 'OK' 23 | Fan 1B | Fan | 7548.00 | RPM | 'OK' 24 | Fan 2B | Fan | 7326.00 | RPM | 'OK' 25 | Fan 3B | Fan | 7104.00 | RPM | 'OK' 26 | Fan 4B | Fan | 6956.00 | RPM | 'OK' 27 | Fan 5B | Fan | 6882.00 | RPM | ‘OK' so could i use ipmi ? also could i use impi to monitor the board temperature instead of lmsensors ? regards Simon

Monitoring high number of host with Observium
by Louis Bailleul 27 Feb '15

27 Feb '15

Hi, I am currently pondering if it would be a sensible idea to monitor about 3000 linux boxes with Observium. Has anybody already tried Observium on that kind of number ? Any pitfall/recommendation ? I don't currently planned to use the alerting feature, but I would like to get historical performance metrics on the machines. I currently monitor about 150 switches for a total of about 10000 ports with an Observium VM that is running really really fine. Could anyone recommend something about the sizing of the hardware needed and the disk space/performance required for that ? The servers and Observium would be located in the same datacenter but do you think that polling that amount of host would cause issues ? Best regards, Louis
