How excatly does the alert and customer feature work in observium pro edition
by Casper A.. Jensen 19 Oct '14

19 Oct '14

Hi all, I tried asking this on the forum: http://observiumforum.com/forum/main-category/main-forum/78-thnking-of-buyi… but after 22 views no one hasn't answered.. I tried the IRC but it seemed to be closed? I was told by the bot that my chat messages wasn't sent to channel.. So now i try here.. I run a IT consultant company and we are maybe planing on using observium. For now we have a test installation of the free version running to much success! Besides the ease of use through SNMP we do look to the customer feature and alert feature you get with the pro edition. How much is built into the alert feature? is it only mail or does it also support text? What is ment by rule based grouping? And maybe the most important one of all. The customer feature? can i use it to separate my different clients so its easier to oversee what devices belong to what client? or is it more for the billing feature? This product looks vary promising!

User/Client Account Login Interface
by Dimitar, GlobeIX 18 Oct '14

18 Oct '14

Hi guys, I just subscribed, I'm reviewing the Demo and wanted to ask: - Does Observium has user/client account login interface, as I was not able to find one? - Does the sub-section "Peering" in "Ports" visualize data collected on a Layer 2 peering switch for example?

I can see site2site tunnels as active and can see the traffic but can we also monitor its state and alert on this? Or get a site2site uptime number?

High CPU SNMP ENGINE
by Dash Brousseau 17 Oct '14

17 Oct '14

I added Obersvium for one of our workstation cisco switch which has most ports filled up WS-C3560X-48 12.2(53)SE2 Now the switch gets huge CPU spikes at random times And it points to SNMP ENGINE PID Runtime(ms) Invoked uSecs 5Sec 1Min 5Min TTY Process 263 959593774 37162365 25821 81.62% 19.01% 7.03% 0 SNMP ENGINE 263 960182122 37166258 25834 75.33% 12.91% 5.58% 0 SNMP ENGINE Is there a way to lower the cpu spikes?

Has anyone done a script where it can every 30 minutes or every hour read server names from a text file and add the device and discovery and poll it automatically ? I want to be able to add servers into the domain and have observium discovery them automatically via snmp. Sent from my iPhone

Integrated smokeping graph appearance
by Justin Miller 16 Oct '14

16 Oct '14

The integrated smokeping graphs don't have the same appearance as they do in smokeping itself. Is there a way to make the graphs have the same appearance? Also, the data represented in Observium doesn't appear to match smokeping when looking at the variance. I've attached examples. I realize that it's the same rrd being drawn but it's just the representation of the data that is different. Smokeping 2.6.8 and Observium 0.14.10.5883 Justin

Invalid device/port combination
by Peter Casserly 16 Oct '14

16 Oct '14

After an upgrade a while back I began to receive a message "Invalid device/port combination" when selecting the hyperlink for a port on any device. I upgraded recently to 5770 and still experiencing this issue. The URL http://observium.domain.com/device/device=70/tab=port/port=10234/ gives the following message. [cid:image001.png@01CFC38A.2E8A9150] Everything else seems to be performing fine. What troubleshooting steps should I perform to figure out what is happening? Or what further information is needed?

High discovery time on Mikrotik ARP/NDP table
by Nick Beacham 15 Oct '14

15 Oct '14

All, I'm seeing an issue where on some of my Mikrotiks, mostly the RB2011iUAS model, the arp-table discovery takes upwards of 200 seconds to complete. I was wondering if anyone else is seeing this, or runs these models and sees a high discovery time on them as well? Thank you, Nicholas Beacham

ActiveDirectory (LDAP) authentication very slow
by Theis Andersen Samsig 15 Oct '14

15 Oct '14

Hi, I'm running observium from the latest TurnKeyLinux distribution and I'm having some trouble getting the AD to work correctly. I have copied the configuration from this page: http://www.observium.org/wiki/Authentication_modules#Active_Directory And made modifications to match our environment (Changing the DN's, suffix, prefix, groups and changed the STARTTLS to FALSE). Our AD is based on Windows 2008R2 To get it working I installed the php5-ldap on the TurnKey distribution using the apt-get install command (and did nothing else than reboot). The normal mysql will let me login as intended (speedy and no delay) - but when switching to LDAP I initially couldn't login "Authentication Failed" until I removed the following line from the configuration file: $config['auth_ldap_group'] = array("CN=Observium Users,OU=Groups,DC=ad,DC=example,DC=com"); (I had of course modified it to math our configuration) When removing the line I am able to login - but the login (and the following page loads) takes around 63 seconds. My questions is: * Why is the page load taking 60+ seconds when using LDAP OR how do I troubleshoot it (seems like a timeout situation) * Why do I need to remove the "auth_ldap_group" line to get it to work? (not really important but nice to know) Hope there is someone out that can help or point me in the right direction... Best regards Theis Andersen Samsig Senior Solution Architect
