poller performance
by F.Reenders＠utwente.nl 14 Oct '13

14 Oct '13

Hi, I'm having problems with the performance of the poller. We have 200 switches and almost 16000 ports included and the poller is having trouble getting them checked in 5 minutes. With 20 threads it's working with a load of 15. When I add more threads it takes longer to get the data from switches. With less threads it also doesn't check all switches in 5 minutes. I'm using new fast hardware. I've implemented all the performance tuning tips on the observium site. I also disabled the checking of fbd-table, arp-table and mac-accounting. When I debug the poller the ports check takes the longest. About 90 % of the total time. 1 switch takes about 8 to 10 seconds now. Is there a way to speed it up? Maybe I can extend the check cycle time to 10 minutes? Distributed poller instances?

Brocade FastIron SX 1600, IronWare Version 07.0.01cT3e1
by Danilo Marques de Gouveia 13 Oct '13

13 Oct '13

Hello guys, I'm testing Observium in the company that I work, it's working great, however we realize that Observium is not getting the processors and memory utilization from ours FastIron SX family, which includes SX 800 and SX 1600. The Brocade MLX family that we use are working fine and we are able to get proc and memory, I guess that it's a MIB problem but I couldn't find it on google. Does anyone has this switches been monitored by observium? Below is the version info from observium: *Observium CE*0.13.10.4585 *Apache*2.2.16 (Debian) *PHP*5.3.3-7+squeeze17 * MySQL*5.1.66-0+squeeze1 *RRDtool*1.4.3 Thanks in advance, -- Danilo Marques de Gouveia

P.S. It also should be called utilisation, not load. Load & utilisation are two separate figures and mixing their names is confusing. Paul

Power meter error graphs
by Ryan Milton 12 Oct '13

12 Oct '13

I have a number of power meters from tripplite and obviously they don't have network statistics for traffic. So, I get the attached errors for the ports graphs on the overview page and when I click on the ports, where it takes you to the graphs of all the traffic. I want to be able to disable the display of this, since everything else is correct. Is there an element in code somewhere that I can just comment that out or something?

Wrong data in CPU Load graph
by Christian Hügel 11 Oct '13

11 Oct '13

Hi, the graphs for the CPU load of a linux server are not accurate. The CPU shows in vSphere client a load of 40-50% but in observium all 4 cores are permanently at 90%. Does anybody know why this happens? Thx Chris

URL Tracking
by Ryan Milton 11 Oct '13

11 Oct '13

I have been enjoying my Observium installation quite a lot, and I love the nice graphs of traffic and ports. Given that this level of detail can be pulled from the devices, is there anyone/anyway who have been able to use that info to create a URL tracker that could show to what URL's a source IP is going? I'd love to be able to integrate something like that into Observium.
