[SOLVED] Housekeeping not deleting records if you have a stupid number to kill.
by Crozier, Doug 23 Jul '14

23 Jul '14

I have a rather old and crufty installation of Observium (now at 5668) with over 70 million syslog, eventlog, and timing records that are older than 7 days. The first time I ran housekeeping -s to trim syslog messages it took about 30 minutes to return showing 42 million records. Just to be sure I was actually done deleting 42 million records, I re-ran the command. The same 42 million records were found. Meh. I ran the housekeeping in debug mode and noticed that I didn't have posix support installed. So I installed the php-process package and tried again. Still no records deleted. I tried deleting fewer records by keeping 18 months worth and that didn't help either. Here's the debug output from attempting to delete records older than 7 days: [root@xxx ~]# php /opt/observium/housekeeping.php -s -d DEBUG! SQL[SELECT COUNT(*) FROM `syslog` WHERE UNIX_TIMESTAMP(`timestamp`) < 1405322208;] 42123350 syslog entries from before 2014-07-14 15:16:48 will be deleted [y/N]: y SQL[DELETE FROM `syslog` WHERE UNIX_TIMESTAMP(`timestamp`) < 1405322208;] Syslog housekeeping: deleted entries Deleting the eventlog records also fails to remove the records: [root@xxxx observium]# php housekeeping.php -e -d DEBUG! SQL[SELECT COUNT(*) FROM `eventlog` WHERE UNIX_TIMESTAMP(`timestamp`) < 1380059875;] 29289378 eventlog entries from before 2013-09-25 05:57:55 will be deleted [y/N]: y SQL[DELETE FROM `eventlog` WHERE UNIX_TIMESTAMP(`timestamp`) < 1380059875] Event log housekeeping: deleted entries (As an aside, I'm not sure, but there may be a semi-colon missing on the delete statement for event log records.) What I eventually found was that trying to delete this many records exhausts the lock table (?). ERROR 1206 (HY000): The total number of locks exceeds the lock table size Issuing the same command from the mysql CLI and adding a 10,000,000 limit allowed the deletion to work correctly mysql> SELECT COUNT(*) FROM `eventlog` WHERE UNIX_TIMESTAMP(`timestamp`) < 1380059875; +----------+ | COUNT(*) | +----------+ | 28177378 | +----------+ 1 row in set (51.76 sec) mysql> DELETE FROM `eventlog` WHERE UNIX_TIMESTAMP(`timestamp`) < 1380059875 LIMIT 10000000; Query OK, 10000000 rows affected (3 min 40.32 sec) mysql> SELECT COUNT(*) FROM `eventlog` WHERE UNIX_TIMESTAMP(`timestamp`) < 1380059875; +----------+ | COUNT(*) | +----------+ | 18177378 | +----------+ 1 row in set (37.01 sec) Interesting to note that deleting 10 million records at a time with the LIMIT statement doesn't always work. Adjusting the LIMIT up and down eventually got me where I was going. Now that I have it the system down to a reasonable number of records, a nightly/weekly cron job should do just fine. Thanks for the effort you put into this Tom. For me, this was like a hardware upgrade.

Login issue. IP works hostname does not?
by Scott Benninger 22 Jul '14

22 Jul '14

I have a strange issue that I cannot resolve. I have a recent install of the community edition on Ubuntu 14.04. Only difference is the sites available directive changes to make it work compared to the official install docs. Everything was working perfectly and I could login via IP, hostname, or FQDN. The server is a VMware VM and I forgot to install the VMware tools so our VMware monitoring software would stop complaining. I installed the tools and rebooted and now I can only login via the IP. If I try via hostname etc the form just clears with no errors. Adding /debug=1/ shows the mysql commands etc but no errors. I have checked all the hostname settings, defaulted the host file, checked the apache and site configs and nothing working. Seems like a php issue to me. Any ideas? Thanks in advance and my apologies if this something simple that I have missed. Scott

Moving obvsevium to a new host
by Ryan, Spencer J. 19 Jul '14

19 Jul '14

Hi All, We are going to migrate our Observium install (paid) to a different VM, same architecture and everything. I ended up pulling down the latest version from SVN, but to move the actual data over do I need to move anything other than the RRD directory, the config file, and the MySQL database?

Housekeeping script
by Tom Laermans 18 Jul '14

18 Jul '14

Hi everyone, Yesterday I committed a housekeeping script to clean up after Observium. If you have a nice number of devices combined with a long running time of Observium, you're sure to have a gigantic database of event log, syslog and performance timing information. Some of you have resorted to periodically truncating tables - fear no more, housekeeping.php is here! You have a choice of specifying either -a for all modules or s, e, r, p and/or t for specific things. Apart from that, there are options in the configuration to set before most of these things actually do anything. What it does: -s Cleans up syslog data, based on the age of the entries. Configured by $config['housekeeping']['syslog']['age'] = 0; // Maximum age of syslog entries in seconds; 0 to disable i.e. 7*86400 for 7 days. -e Cleans up eventlog data, based on the age of the entries. Configured by $config['housekeeping']['eventlog']['age'] = 0; // Maximum age of eventlog entries in seconds; 0 to disable i.e. 30*86400 for 30 days. -r Cleans up RRD files, there are 2 options here: Cleanup of RRD files with a modification time of a certain age. Ports that are gone, sensors that are gone, erroneaously created RRD files due to bugs or hardware changes, etc. Configured by $config['housekeeping']['rrd']['age'] = 0; // Maximum age of unused rrd files in seconds before automatically purging; 0 to disable i.e. 90*86400 for 90 days. Cleanup of invalid RRD files. Requires $config['file'] to be set correctly to the path of the "file" magic utility. Runs over all .rrd files to see if they are identified as RRDTool Databases. They can sometimes get corrupted (0 bytes, half a file) when your disk/ramdrive is full. When they exist, they are not recreated even if they're invalid. Consequently RRDtool refuses to add data into them as they are not valid RRD database files. This scripts deletes any .rrd file not identified as RRDTool. Configured by $config['housekeeping']['rrd']['invalid'] = TRUE; // Delete .rrd files that are not valid RRD files (eg created with a full disk) Note: this defaults to true currently. Handle with care. -p Cleans up deleted ports. You can do this manually by using the purge button in the web interface, but one could probably safely assume if a port has not returned after 30 days it really is gone. Shorter could be useful in your environment, mine is set to 7 days. Configured by $config['housekeeping']['deleted_ports']['age'] = 0; // Maximum age of deleted ports in seconds before automatically purging; 0 to disable i.e. 30*86400 for 30 days. -t: Cleans up perf time information. Observium keeps performance times per module, per device and per run. This quickly accumulates into a giant number of rows in the database. Configured by $config['housekeeping']['timing']['age'] = 0; // Maximum age of timing (discovery and poll time) entries in seconds; 0 to disable i.e. 7*86400 for 7 days. Housekeeping logs into housekeeping.log in the log_dir. (*) I recommend putting this into cron, daily or weekly (yes, even though the age is set in seconds, I don't recommend running it every minute ;), but only after you've run it manually once. It'll take quite a while the first time to clean up large databases. The "check for invalid RRD files" is probably quite I/O heavy. i'll be documenting this on the wiki soonish. (*) log_dir was also added as a new configuration directive, it defaults to ${installdir}/logs which will be created automatically for you if possible. Tom

Issue with discovery.php -h all and certain cisco devices
by David Lagace 17 Jul '14

17 Jul '14

Hello, I've run into a problem where the discovery cron seems to error out. I noticed this in checking the polling times where it was at almost 3 days. I ran discovery.php -h all manually from the shell and noticed it would error out to prompt when scanning the same switch everytime. When I put the device causing the issue in ignore it would go through untill it hit another device that errrored it out. If I run it on the host only it also seems to error out: <SNIP> ./discovery.php -h mksc-dob-lab-sw1 Observium v0.14.7.5654 Discovery Current Revision : 5654 New Revision : 5659 mksc-dob-lab-sw1 433 ios (cisco) OLD: ios, NEW: ios --- Ports : ...........................................................

Discovery crashing UPS management card
by Steve Kersley 16 Jul '14

16 Jul '14

Good morning all, I'm a recent adopter of Observium so still finding my feet and slowly learning how best to set it up. However, I have noticed that since installing it, it was reporting that my main UPS management card was rebooting every 6 hours. The UPS is an Eaton 9SX 5000i + battery pack, with Network-MS management card, firmware HF which is the latest available for card tech level 16. Dabbling more, it seems that it's the discovery process that is causing it, specifically when it walks the xupsOutput table (.1.3.6.1.4.1.534.1.4) in the Powerware MIB, the UPS management card immediately stops responding and reboots. It actually appears to be crashing on doing a GetNext on .1.3.6.1.4.1.534.1.4.7.0, which is beyond the defined values in that table. The UPS continues to operate, but the management card stops. This also means that Observium has only managed to discover the 'input' voltage - output, bypass and current/power readings all just read as zero as the card has stopped responding when it tries to read those. The poll runs fine and gets data from the input voltage sensor. Clearly this is not an Observium issue: I can reproduce the reboot with a simple snmpwalk on the commandline, which should be a valid operation on a published MIB. I do have a ticket open with the manufacturer, although the first response was 'does it work with our management software?'. It may even be a fault on my unit, but I don't have more than one of these to test. I'm assuming there's a reason for the discovery module to need to walk the tables rather than just read the specific values - presumably bigger UPS units might have multiple metered AC inputs and outputs rather than just the one? I could disable sensor discovery, which will stop the reboots but that won't let it learn about the additional sensors that it still hasn't found. Unless I can manually insert data into the database for the poller to pick up? Alternatively, is there a way for me to override the detection of a Powerware UPS and use the generic UPS MIB rather than the XUPS MIB? Any other thoughts? Steve.

Ubuntu 12.04? Does r5229 work on Ubuntu 14.04?
by Rob Townley 16 Jul '14

16 Jul '14

Loving observium, but noticed some issues with it detecting well over 448 ports on a switch that nothing was plugged into except two patch cables but then i just happened to notice php version on Ubuntu 12.04. The Ubuntu installation directions had some conflicting information: Requires php5.4 but Ubuntu 12.04 does not includes php5.3 only. Recommend LTS, but recommend 13.04 which is not LTS. Does not mention 14.04 LTS. The existing community download is from April which provides another reason that Ubuntu 14.04 LTS will not work well since there has not been another release since then. So i am trying to decide to add a PPA for php5.4 or do i upgrade the entire OS to 14.04? Will the April 2014 (SVN# 5229 ) Observium release work just fine on 14.04.

I always see mysqld using almost all CPU-power. the server is running in vmware, os = debian. Currently I have one v-core assigned with 16G of ram. ( already tried with 4 cores.. ) In Observium I have 75 devices with a total of 7500 ports. Please advice ;-) Thank you, Have a good day, Paul

Does anyone else have a three phase ups. I was wanting to know if it is using the UPS-MIB and that you've done something to get all three phases shown as graphs ? I've done a debug on the discovery and it is clear that all phases are returned by the bulkwalk statements. so far i've created ./html/images/os/emerson.png and ./includes/polling/os/emerson.inc.php and added to my config.php the following: $os = "emerson"; $config['os'][$os]['text'] = "Emerson UPS"; $config['os'][$os]['type'] = "power"; $config['os'][$os]['over'][0]['graph'] = "device_voltage"; $config['os'][$os]['over'][0]['text'] = "Voltage"; $config['os'][$os]['over'][1]['graph'] = "device_current"; $config['os'][$os]['over'][1]['text'] = "Current"; $config['os'][$os]['over'][2]['graph'] = "device_frequency"; $config['os'][$os]['over'][2]['text'] = "Frequency"; $config['os'][$os]['sysObjectID'][] = ".1.3.6.1.2.1.33"; $config['os'][$os]['mibs'][] = "UPS-MIB"; root@dc3monitor2:/opt/observium# snmpwalk dc6ups01 -v2c -c xxxxx -M /opt/observium/mibs -m UPS-MIB upsMIB UPS-MIB::upsIdentManufacturer.0 = STRING: Chloride UPS-MIB::upsIdentModel.0 = STRING: 80Net UPS-MIB::upsIdentUPSSoftwareVersion.0 = STRING: 10h01517 V4.00.100312 (5135) / 10h01531 V1.10.100326,10h01530 V UPS-MIB::upsIdentAgentSoftwareVersion.0 = STRING: 3.15.3397 UPS-MIB::upsIdentName.0 = STRING: dc6ups01 UPS-MIB::upsIdentAttachedDevices.0 = STRING: none UPS-MIB::upsBatteryStatus.0 = INTEGER: batteryNormal(2) UPS-MIB::upsSecondsOnBattery.0 = INTEGER: 0 seconds UPS-MIB::upsEstimatedMinutesRemaining.0 = INTEGER: 164 minutes UPS-MIB::upsEstimatedChargeRemaining.0 = INTEGER: 100 percent UPS-MIB::upsBatteryVoltage.0 = INTEGER: 5440 0.1 Volt DC UPS-MIB::upsBatteryCurrent.0 = INTEGER: 2 0.1 Amp DC UPS-MIB::upsBatteryTemperature.0 = INTEGER: 19 degrees Centigrade UPS-MIB::upsInputLineBads.0 = Counter32: 56 UPS-MIB::upsInputNumLines.0 = INTEGER: 3 UPS-MIB::upsInputFrequency.1 = INTEGER: 499 0.1 Hertz UPS-MIB::upsInputFrequency.2 = INTEGER: 499 0.1 Hertz UPS-MIB::upsInputFrequency.3 = INTEGER: 499 0.1 Hertz UPS-MIB::upsInputVoltage.1 = INTEGER: 245 RMS Volts UPS-MIB::upsInputVoltage.2 = INTEGER: 245 RMS Volts UPS-MIB::upsInputVoltage.3 = INTEGER: 243 RMS Volts UPS-MIB::upsInputCurrent.1 = INTEGER: 30 0.1 RMS Amp UPS-MIB::upsInputCurrent.2 = INTEGER: 30 0.1 RMS Amp UPS-MIB::upsInputCurrent.3 = INTEGER: 31 0.1 RMS Amp UPS-MIB::upsInputTruePower.1 = INTEGER: 7500 Watts UPS-MIB::upsInputTruePower.2 = INTEGER: 7500 Watts UPS-MIB::upsInputTruePower.3 = INTEGER: 7700 Watts UPS-MIB::upsOutputSource.0 = INTEGER: normal(3) UPS-MIB::upsOutputFrequency.0 = INTEGER: 499 0.1 Hertz UPS-MIB::upsOutputNumLines.0 = INTEGER: 3 UPS-MIB::upsOutputVoltage.1 = INTEGER: 241 RMS Volts UPS-MIB::upsOutputVoltage.2 = INTEGER: 239 RMS Volts UPS-MIB::upsOutputVoltage.3 = INTEGER: 239 RMS Volts UPS-MIB::upsOutputCurrent.1 = INTEGER: 384 0.1 RMS Amp UPS-MIB::upsOutputCurrent.2 = INTEGER: 288 0.1 RMS Amp UPS-MIB::upsOutputCurrent.3 = INTEGER: 328 0.1 RMS Amp UPS-MIB::upsOutputPower.1 = INTEGER: 7900 Watts UPS-MIB::upsOutputPower.2 = INTEGER: 6200 Watts UPS-MIB::upsOutputPower.3 = INTEGER: 7200 Watts UPS-MIB::upsOutputPercentLoad.1 = INTEGER: 27 percent UPS-MIB::upsOutputPercentLoad.2 = INTEGER: 20 percent UPS-MIB::upsOutputPercentLoad.3 = INTEGER: 23 percent UPS-MIB::upsAlarmsPresent.0 = Gauge32: 0 UPS-MIB::upsTestId.0 = OID: UPS-MIB::upsTestNoTestsInitiated UPS-MIB::upsTestSpinLock.0 = INTEGER: 53 UPS-MIB::upsTestResultsSummary.0 = INTEGER: 1082939236 UPS-MIB::upsTestResultsDetail.0 = STRING: UPS-MIB::upsTestStartTime.0 = Timeticks: (0) 0:00:00.00 UPS-MIB::upsTestElapsedTime.0 = Wrong Type (should be INTEGER): Timeticks: (654440200) 75 days, 17:53:22.00 UPS-MIB::upsShutdownType.0 = INTEGER: 0 UPS-MIB::upsShutdownAfterDelay.0 = INTEGER: 0 seconds UPS-MIB::upsStartupAfterDelay.0 = INTEGER: 0 seconds UPS-MIB::upsRebootWithDuration.0 = INTEGER: 0 seconds UPS-MIB::upsAutoRestart.0 = INTEGER: 0 UPS-MIB::upsConfigInputVoltage.0 = INTEGER: 240 RMS Volts UPS-MIB::upsConfigInputFreq.0 = INTEGER: 500 0.1 Hertz UPS-MIB::upsConfigOutputVoltage.0 = INTEGER: 240 RMS Volts UPS-MIB::upsConfigOutputFreq.0 = INTEGER: 500 0.1 Hertz UPS-MIB::upsConfigOutputVA.0 = INTEGER: 99900 Volt-Amps UPS-MIB::upsConfigOutputPower.0 = INTEGER: 90000 Watts UPS-MIB::upsConfigLowBattTime.0 = INTEGER: 0 minutes UPS-MIB::upsConfigAudibleStatus.0 = INTEGER: 0 UPS-MIB::upsConfigLowVoltageTransferPoint.0 = INTEGER: 168 RMS Volts UPS-MIB::upsConfigHighVoltageTransferPoint.0 = INTEGER: 274 RMS Volts thanks Peter Hine Senior Technical Support Engineer (Servers) FCoA ITS peter.hine(a)familycourt.gov.au ********************************************************************** The information contained in this e-mail (including any attachments) is for the exclusive use of the addressee.

More Documentation on Alert Checkers?

10 Jul '14

Hi, Is there more documentation on how to setup alert checkers? Maybe there's a list of entities that I can pick from? I wanted to set something up along the lines of: Name: CPU Temp Over 65 Tests (Checker Condition): entSensorValue isBigger 65 Device match (Device Association): type equals network Hostname match *t* (any device with an "n" in it ?) Hostname match *new* (any device with "new" string in it?) Entity Association: entSensorType equals Celsius (monitor temperature?) Not sure how to set that up, Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Graphs not drawing after latest update
by Mahomed Hussein 08 Jul '14

08 Jul '14

Hi I wonder if someone can help point me in the right direction as to how I can fix an issue with graphs not drawing. We updated to 0.14.6.5588 this morning and I’ve noticed that some graphs are not drawing. We haven’t had any issues with the server and it has been up for 49 days. I’m not sure where to start. So far I’ve tried another SVN update (in case there was a quick fix) and rebooted the server (out of desperation/hope more than anything else). Please let me know if you require any other info. Thanks in advance for any assistance. A couple of screenshots are below.

health/overview page is there a way to change what is presented?
by Steve Costaras 05 Jul '14

05 Jul '14

I am using observium community edition to monitor a couple systems. Noticed a couple items that seem to make some of the graphs not too useful. The health / Overview section for file systems is the first. It shows file systems with no problem, however it's graphing the file systems based on their percentage used NOT their used byte size. I don't know how others are using this, but here we grow file systems frequently which this produces graphs like the attached. Is there a way to either change what metric is graphed (bytes/ not percentage) or have a another overview graph of file systems with capacity used. This gets much more important with ZFS when you add new vdev's or expand them as like the graph will expand all filesystems on that pool which doesn't seem to be too useful and there can be hundreds. Another question on the same page is the operations/second graphs. This is displaying data twice or more when you are using device mapper you see both the sd* devices as well as the dm-* devices. This is very bad when you're talking about 100's of physical drives (seeing 200 or more depending on how you have it set up with partitions devices). Is there a way to filter out dm-* devices so only sd* ones are calculated/graphed? Steve

Interface Traffic trend
by KENNETH D MILLER II 05 Jul '14

05 Jul '14

Is there a config option or change I need to make to get the interface traffic trend option to work? I'm running the latest CE version. RRDtool 1.38 and 1.47 versions. I've only have this running a month, but thought there would be enough data to see a trend. Also, where would I load MIBs and configure OIDs for Brocade VDX gear? Thanks in advance, Ken

Re-enable host where discovery has been disabled?
by David Lagace 04 Jul '14

04 Jul '14

Hello all, I seem to be in a bit of a pickle. On one of my hosts I enabled the 'Disables polling and discovery' to not have it report while working on it but now I can't seem to find the host to reenable the polling and discovery. I can see reference to it in the 'Delete Devices' page with the caption [disabled] next to it but not anywhere else. Just wondering where or how I can re-enable this host. Thanks for your help, --Dave

Hi, On (seemingly all) our device port pages I get different values in the legends on the page of graphs vs their respective hover over pop-up graphs? In theory I thought they're showing the same timeframe/data? Regards, Emma
