CBQoS 'drop' vs 'policed-transmit'
by Robert Williams 14 Aug '14

14 Aug '14

Hi, Just noticed that the CBQoS stuff has gone active recently (which is very cool) - currently we get all this via (very) painful integration with Cacti. On looking closer I've found what I think is an issue, but stand ready to be corrected. What I think is happening is that Observium is considering packets the Cisco counted as "Exceeded" to have been "Dropped" where in reality they were just re-marked and transmitted normally. As an example, here is the graph for gi3/1 (class-default) on a 6500 chassis: Here is the output of the show policy-map int gi3/1: GigabitEthernet3/1 Service-policy input: <name> class-map: <Class A> (match-any) Match: protocol arp Match: access-group name <ACL A1> Match: access-group name <ACL A2> police : 32000 bps 102400 limit 102400 extended limit Earl in slot 3 : 1377162657 bytes 5 minute offered rate 2280 bps aggregate-forwarded 1377162657 bytes action: transmit exceeded 0 bytes action: drop <- Zero drops aggregate-forward 2520 bps exceed 0 bps class-map: class-default (match-any) Match: any police : 40000000 bps 3200000 limit 3200000 extended limit 1000000000 pir-bps Earl in slot 3 : 10562039041987 bytes 5 minute offered rate 11748848 bps aggregate-forwarded 10562039041987 bytes action: set-dscp-transmit exceeded 297846881624 bytes action: policed-dscp-transmit violated 0 bytes action: drop <- Zero drops aggregate-forward 13842064 bps exceed 0 bps violate 0 bps So in summary, there have never been any actual drops on the port, only re-marking of the DSCP (incrementing the exceeded counter) and then a transmit. Since the re-marking occurs in the "exceeded" counter, I think Observium is considering them as dropped, instead of just exceeded. This also messes up the pre-policy and post-policy counters, because it implies that traffic didn't make it through when in reality it all did. We use re-marking extensively and so all of the CBQoS graphs show incorrect drop and post-policy information. Either that or we've got a bug/misconfiguration (or I just don't get it), so maybe someone else can confirm? Let me know what debug info is needed if it helps :) Cheers!

Possible bug in BGP Prefixes graphs?
by Erwin Heringa 14 Aug '14

14 Aug '14

Hi Observium team, Earlier this week the global route table hit 512k prefixes, so I was looking in Observium how many prefixes each peer announces. But there is something wrong that I can't explain and it could be a bug. This morning I upgraded to the latest (paid) version r5747, that didn't change this. For peer 195.69.144.192 my Juniper router shows 89 received prefixes: rtr1> show bgp neighbor 195.69.144.192 | match prefixes Active prefixes: 47 Received prefixes: 89 Accepted prefixes: 89 Advertised prefixes: 7 Via snmp on the router: This peer has index 155, and Peer with index 155 has 89 prefixes: rtr1> show snmp mib wal decimal 1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.5.1.1.2.1.1 | match 144.192 | match PeerIndex jnxBgpM2PeerIndex.0.1.195.69.144.49.1.195.69.144.192 = 155 rtr1> show snmp mib wal decimal 1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.5.1.1.2.6.2 | match \.155\. | match Prefixes jnxBgpM2PrefixInPrefixes.155.1.1 = 89 jnxBgpM2PrefixInPrefixesAccepted.155.1.1 = 89 jnxBgpM2PrefixInPrefixesRejected.155.1.1 = 42 jnxBgpM2PrefixOutPrefixes.155.1.1 = 7 Via snmp on the Observium server: snmpwalk -v3 -l authPriv -u ***** -a SHA -A ****** -x AES -X ******* rtr1 1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.5.1.1.2.6.2 | grep \.155\. iso.3.6.1.4.1.2636.5.1.1.2.6.2.1.7.155.1.1 = Gauge32: 89 iso.3.6.1.4.1.2636.5.1.1.2.6.2.1.8.155.1.1 = Gauge32: 89 iso.3.6.1.4.1.2636.5.1.1.2.6.2.1.9.155.1.1 = Gauge32: 42 iso.3.6.1.4.1.2636.5.1.1.2.6.2.1.10.155.1.1 = Gauge32: 7 But the graphs looks like this, with only 8 prefixes: [cid:image001.png@01CFB7A9.99364360] And even worse for our transit provider: rtr1> show bgp neighbor 195.69.144.34 | match prefixes Active prefixes: 158327 Received prefixes: 505071 Accepted prefixes: 505070 Advertised prefixes: 7 snmpwalk -v3 -l authPriv -u ***** -a SHA -A ***** -x AES -X ****** rtr1 1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.5.1.1.2.6.2.1 | grep '\.4\.1\.1' iso.3.6.1.4.1.2636.5.1.1.2.6.2.1.7.4.1.1 = Gauge32: 505068 iso.3.6.1.4.1.2636.5.1.1.2.6.2.1.8.4.1.1 = Gauge32: 505066 iso.3.6.1.4.1.2636.5.1.1.2.6.2.1.9.4.1.1 = Gauge32: 346727 iso.3.6.1.4.1.2636.5.1.1.2.6.2.1.10.4.1.1 = Gauge32: 7 [cid:image002.png@01CFB7AC.69D3A650] This behavior seems to have changed around March 1st. Any thoughts?

Internet 512k global routes
by KENNETH D MILLER II 13 Aug '14

13 Aug '14

With the Internet hitting 512k routes, I was looking in observium for the IPv4 prefixes for our Brocade XMR routers. I'm getting a draw error on all prefix updates. graphs/type=bgp_updates is working ok. graphs/type=bgp_prefixes_ipv4unicast or any of the prefix graphs are not. I've tried on observium version 5728 and CE version 5229. Is anyone else using XMR, CES/CER, or MLX routers getting the same thing? Thanks, Ken

Billing
by Mike Grant 13 Aug '14

13 Aug '14

I have the subscription version and have the billing working. What I am trying to do is work out if I can only bill certain traffic. i.e. I only want to charge for international traffic at a $ per MB rate but charge nothing for local traffic. I'm using a Mikrotik Cloudcore router, the international data goes out one gateway and the domestic out another. So I really only want to bill the data for a port that goes in and out one particular gateway. Anyone doing anything like this? Thanks, Mike.

Sensor_value alerts do not process
by Alain Gyger 12 Aug '14

12 Aug '14

I'm using SVN version 5742 and all of my alerts work except those that are supposed to check a sensor_value metric. I'm able to check and get emails for alerts on processor_usage, toner_current, and mempool_perc, to name a few, so I know the system is working. When I run the alerter.php script against one of the hosts indicated under the processor_usage alert and I get "1 Status: OK" messages. But when I run alerter.php against a host indicated under the sensor_value alert for Battery Capacity or for APC UPS Temperature I get "-1 Unknown status". The graphs for these sensors are fine, the MySQL table sensors-state lists the correct values as well. My configuration for temperature looks like this: Entity Type: Temperature Delay: 1 Status: 0/0/0/0/2 Check Conditions: Require any condition Tests: sensor_value gt 40 Device Match: type match power Entity Match: sensor_descr match Temp* The alert checker seems fine, but it looks like the tests are failing when they are run. Has anyone else had the same issues with sensor_value alerts? Or is this feature not quite ready to be used?

Clean up duplicate ports in DB?
by Hogan Whittall 09 Aug '14

09 Aug '14

Long story short, there was a period of time where hosts were added and removed from Observium a number of times (Essentially all hosts added, deleted, added, etc). In general, there were no ill effects other than losing the previous graph data and ports not being deleted from the DB when hosts were removed. So now I have this. mysql> select count(*) from ports; +----------+ | count(*) | +----------+ | 20701 | +----------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) 907+5+1+582 = 1495 So there are a number of stale/orphaned port entries in the DB. What would be the best way to fix this? Thanks! -Hogan

IPMI setup

Hi, >From the reading I've done it seems that Observium supports IPMI and I've got a Supermicro motherboard I'd like to get stats from. However, I can't see any way to configure the device, if I try to add devices it only lets me poll over SNMP, which the Supermicro board doesn't seem to allow. Other than stating that you need IPMItools installed, the Observium documentation doesn't provide any details about how IPMI devices should be configured. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Bind graph problems
by Brad Pearpoint 07 Aug '14

07 Aug '14

Hi all, I have a problem with my bind graphs in Observium 0.14.8.5736 with RRDtool 1.4.7. I have the Unix-agent configured with the bind plugin on two dev DNS servers. These DNS servers are under really low load, just a couple of requests a minute at most. If I run dns# ./bind | grep -i req-in,Q I receive: req-in,QUERY:1562 Which is correct. Then on my Observium box if I run: obs# rrdtool info /opt/observium/rrd/dns2 /app-bind-1-req-in.rrd | grep query ds[query].index = 0 ds[query].type = "DERIVE" ds[query].minimal_heartbeat = 600 ds[query].min = 0.0000000000e+00 ds[query].max = 7.5000000000e+06 ds[query].last_ds = "1562" <<<<<<<<< Looks good ds[query].value = 0.0000000000e+00 ds[query].unknown_sec = 0 But my graphs in the web interface of totally wrong. My incoming requests graph is showing 100-250 million. Any tips of where to start looking to solve this? Thanks, Brad

How to add SNMP support in observium for ambient Temperature
by observium＠willfahrt.net 06 Aug '14

06 Aug '14

Hi all, I hope someone can help, I'm sure this has been answered before? - Sorry in advance! I want to monitor a few Linux machines with ambient temperature sensing devices. The NetSNMPd Client Configuration is working and I get a successful response as you can see: ~# snmpget -v 2c temphost -c public .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.10 HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSystem.9 = Gauge32: 23000 How can I modify the host configuration to add the ambient Temperature information in the Observium? Best regards, Jens

ifLastChange usage query
by Peter Childs 06 Aug '14

06 Aug '14

Looking at an operational issue where we had a small interface flap between polls, so link state between polls hasn't changed, but iFLastChange has. Looking at the 'data' view through the UI for the port ifLastChanged doesn't appeared to have changed, and looking through the poller code it appears perhaps it is only updated on a change of operational/admin status on a port? Would there be any use in poller updating it in the db if it was different to the existing value in the port cache ? It would be interesting to be able to alert on 'ifLastChange' < 'some value' .. Or just have the update in the EventLog so when having a look-see at a device it is apparent that a link flap has occurred. A visual indicator in ports basic/detailed view for 'last change' < 'some global config value' like a little exclamation mark or something potentially could be useful to operators to 'spot' issues. Imagine being able to view ports, sort on 'LastChange' during an incident to 'spot' potential causes of issues? Would any of this make sense to anyone? Cheers, Peter

Allied Telesis Support
by Patrick Gawthorne 06 Aug '14

06 Aug '14

Hi All, Currently playing with Observium which is brilliant, except when an Allied Telesis switch (running Alliedware Plus) is discovered only basic info is retrieved (Uptime, OS, location, etc), which then causes the issue of halting auto discovery.. The specific model is an AT-9000/28SP. Anyone aware if this switch is supported or not?

question about cisco switch discovery/polling
by Steve Dubinskiy 06 Aug '14

06 Aug '14

we've got a Cisco WS-C4510R+E switch after discovering and polling it,, it now shows 3 entries for each port 1 is the expected/desired one "64-bit" port and 2 unknown/undesired "Controlled" and "Uncontrolled" 32-bit ports. question why are we seeing them ? how to we get rid of them ? this is making management of this device painfully slow .. takes more then 30 seconds (closer to one minute) for the page to load thanks -Steve -- *This message and any files or text attached to it are intended only for the recipients named above, and contain information that is confidential or privileged.

Re: [Observium] IPMI setup
by Christian Gerbrandt 05 Aug '14

05 Aug '14

You still need SNMP to poll the device. Once added you can configure IPMI to gather stats from IPMI. On Aug 05, 2014, at 02:35 PM, Matthew Green <mephi(a)mephi.co.uk> wrote: Hi, From the reading I've done it seems that Observium supports IPMI and I've got a Supermicro motherboard I'd like to get stats from. However, I can't see any way to configure the device, if I try to add devices it only lets me poll over SNMP, which the Supermicro board doesn't seem to allow. Other than stating that you need IPMItools installed, the Observium documentation doesn't provide any details about how IPMI devices should be configured. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Discoverying and polling VRF, OSPF and BGP Processes on Nexus 7K : where to start coding
by Mathieu MILLET 05 Aug '14

05 Aug '14

Hi, I would like to give a try to code some PHP Patchs, so that Observium can discover VRF, OSPF, BGP and so on Nexus 7K platform (our reference will be Nexus 7700 with NX-OS 6.2). We are implementing "VRF-Lite" style (no MPLS), so according to Cisco documentation, it is mandatory to map in NX-OS configuration, a SNMP Context (v3) to each instance of VRF, OSPF, BGP, whatever .... My try will be to first discover the context mapping with this Cisco MIB : CISCO-CONTEXT-MAPPING-MIB.my and then to iterate on these mappings using an additional function like "get snmp walk/bulk with context" on these contexts. Do you have any advice how I could do that ? Which files should I implement / pacth ? Which files could I use as examples and inspiration ? Also, I plan to make patch against the last open release (SVN revision 5229). Is that a problem ? Thank you in advance for your help, Sincerely yours, Mathieu. -- Mathieu MILLET mailto:obs@htam.net

adjusting bandwidth graphs to what the client is paying for
by Anthony Polselli 05 Aug '14

05 Aug '14

Hi, Just checking out the software for the first time and really liking it. We are using PRTG now and of the things we like about it is per interface we are monitoring, we can set the max x-axis value. It helps our tech's to know what speed Internet connection a client is paying for. We will hand off a 100Mbps interface to the client, but if they are only paying for 20Mbps, we will shape the traffic down to 20Mbps on the router. When you look at the percent graph in Observium, it's based on a 100Mbps max possible speed instead of 20Mbps. Thanks!

Using PHP Weathermap with Observium
by Markus Klock 04 Aug '14

04 Aug '14

Hello! We are migrating from Cacti to Observium and it was a great experience, the only thing we lacked were the weathermap plugin for getting that nice network overview. I then found that Neil Lathwood wrote a modified version of the PHP Weathermap that works with Observium data, you can find it on his github: https://github.com/laf/weathermap I wrote a quick and dirty script that adds the weathermaps to the Observium menu without modifying Observium-code so that it will not break when updating Observium. It works really well so I wrote a little guide for how you get the weathermap to work with Observium and posted it here: http://blog.best-practice.se/2014/07/using-php-weathermap-with-observium.ht… In case there are more people interested in using the weathermap with Observium :) /Markus

Hi there. Is it possible yet (in commercial version) to set up a "host down" alert? If yes, how to implement it? Couldn't find out from current documentation.

Geocode
by Josh Hopper 27 Jul '14

27 Jul '14

I wanted to test out Geocoding with Google instead of the regular locations. $config['geocoding']['default']['lat'] = "35.922614"; // Default latitude $config['geocoding']['default']['lon'] = "-81.542729"; // Default longitude $config['location_menu_geocoded'] = TRUE; // Build location menu with geocoded data. $config['geocoding']['enable'] = TRUE; // Enable Geocoding If I have SNMP Locations set on my devices does it prevent this from working? Or, is there a particular way to tell if its operating correctly? -- Sincerely, Joshua Hopper, A+ CE Network Administrator 420 3rd Ave NW Hickory NC 28601 Office: 828-449-1839x2160 | Cell: 828-855-7565 Protect Plus Air Holdings, LLC and Affiliates, Protect Plus, LLC and Affiliates, Imagine One Resources, LLC and Affiliates, Protect Plus Surfaces, LLC and Affiliates Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail is intended only for the addressee named above.
