Pandacom DWDM devices
by Andre Geißler 26 Sep '17

26 Sep '17

Hi all Recently we purchased some DWDM devices from Pandacom (SPEED-OTS-5000). Might be interesting for more than us to have them in observium. Is there a way for a non-programmer like me to add those devices? What I can provide are the MIB files. If access to a device is needed for testing I'd like to use my contact at Pandacom Cheers, Andre

Export Observium Installation
by Chad 20 Sep '17

20 Sep '17

Hey folks, Is there a simple way to export the entire config for the Observium community edition? I'm running the latest 16x version on a dedicated server but would rather switch over to a simplified KVM virtual server. Can someone explain the proper path to accomplish this? Thanks.

RRDTool Customisation
by William Hutchins 19 Sep '17

19 Sep '17

Hi All, What could be a silly question - Is there a straightforward switch or option to alter the RRDtool formatting from the default “opposing” format for Upload/Download, to an overlaid format in network traffic graphing? Current opposing format https://ibb.co/kbGcB5 Required Overlaid format https://ibb.co/nGJw4Q I’ve noted the config example in doco, however switching off the opposing view/feature wasn’t immediately clear. Thought I’d ask to see if the devs had a hidden php configuration switch for this, and if not, how others might’ve overcome this? Many thanks, Will

Issue with Search Function in BGP Sessions
by Gumilar Siegfried 18 Sep '17

18 Sep '17

Hello! I ran into a little issue today. If I am on page two of the BGP session list and search for a remote AS the search always comes up with an empty list. I guess this is caused by the "pageno=2" in the URL: http://x.x.x.x/routing/protocol=bgp/graph=NULL/view=details/pagination=1/pa…... If I remove the pageno=2 section in the URL I get the right result. Regards, Siegfried

SMS alerts configuration in observium?
by Vikas Kumar 18 Sep '17

18 Sep '17

Dear all, I am trying to configure sms alerts in observium for this my institute has a sms gateway via which i can send messgaes to ant number the API is in this format " http://smsgateway.iitb.ac.in/smsapi/index.php?To=91********&Message=test2 <http://dcmonitor.iitb.ac.in/smsapi/index.php?To=919930547677&Message=test2>" . Now i want to post the notification to this API. So i edited the file /opt/observium/includes/defaults.inc.php as follows: $config['smsbox']['scheme'] = 'http'; // URL scheme, http or https. $config['smsbox']['host'] = 'smsgateway.iitb.ac.in'; // Name of host on which SMSBox is running. $config['smsbox']['port'] = '80'; // Port number on which SMSBox host receives requests. $config['smsbox']['user'] = ''; // SMSBox username. $config['smsbox']['password'] = ''; // SMSBox password. $config['smsbox']['from'] = ''; // Phone number of sender, usually overridden by SMSC. Then i edited the file /opt/observium/includes/alerting/smsbox.inc.php as follows: <?php // Kannel SMSBox documentation: http://kannel.org/download/1.5.0/userguide-1.5.0/userguide.html#AEN4623 $message = $message_tags['ALERT_STATE'] . " " . $message_tags['DEVICE_HOSTNAME'] .": " . $message_tags['ENTITY_NAME'] . "\n" . $message_tags['ALERT_MESSAGE']; $context_data = array ( 'method' => 'GET', 'header' => "Connection: close\r\n" ); $url = sprintf('%s://%s/smsapi/index.php?To=%s&Meassage=%s', $config['smsbox']['scheme'], $config['smsbox']['host'], urlencode($endpoint['phone']),urlencode($message)); $response = get_http_request($url, $context_data); if (strpos($response, "Accepted") || strpos($response, "Queued")) { $notify_status['success'] = TRUE; } else { $notify_status['success'] = FALSE; } unset($message); // EOF But still i am not able to get SMS alerts on my mobile phone. Please note that the SMS gateway has given IP based access to my machine on which observium is runnning so i do not need username and password fileds while posting message to the API. Please help me resolve this issue .

CentOS 7.4?
by William Bauer 18 Sep '17

18 Sep '17

Anyone upgrade their installation from CentOS7.3 to 7.4? I needed that upgrade on other systems due to some patches that wouldn't be released to 7.3. I've had no issues with 7.4, so I'm wondering if anyone has run into Observium related problems with 7.4? It only came out officially in the last few days, so it may be too early to ask.

Geolocation detection improvement
by Mamitzsch,André 15 Sep '17

15 Sep '17

Hello We are constantly running into issues with the geolocation service and the automated detection of the coordinates – people tend to set additional information in the sysLocation which finally cause the geo api’s to fail. I would like to suggest a small format / code change here to make the geo location detection more usable and reliable. SysLocation should be set up in the form: <Business Name / Rack Location> Street No., ZIP Code City, Country The <Business Name / Rack Location> is still stored in observium but ignored when querying the api. --- geolocation.inc.php.org 2017-07-18 22:09:56.994896291 +0200 +++ geolocation.inc.php 2017-07-18 22:09:40.082938507 +0200 @@ -20,9 +20,14 @@ function get_geolocation($address, $geo_db = array(), $dns_only = FALSE) { global $config; + /* $address parsing, allow business names or additional information */ + /* address line should be: <ACME INC> Test Street 42, 823456 Somewhere */ + $address_orig = $address; + $address = preg_replace("/^<?.*>/","",$address); + $ok = FALSE; - $location = array('location' => $address); // Init location array + $location = array('location' => $address_orig); // Init location array $location['location_geoapi'] = strtolower(trim($config['geocoding']['api'])); if (!isset($config['geo_api'][$location['location_geoapi']])) { -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Best regards, André Mamitzsch
