Poller Overruns
by Gagandeep Mann 03 May '16

03 May '16

Hi We are currently running OBSERVIUM Professional Ed with 31 Cisco 7600/3560/2960 polling around 5000+ ports. The Traffic graphs are showing gaps as the poller seems to be taking a lot of time. We have tried different values for the poller wrapper threads (16, 32, 48, 64) on a 16 core/64GB RAM machine but not seen any improvement. We have also tried different values for the 'ma-rep' field for snmp bulkwalk (5, 10 etc) - had seen improvement initially after enabling with 5, but the polling times seem to have increased automatically after some time. We are currently running with 64 Poller threads and max-rep 10. Pls suggest if we are missing something. A few screen-shots are attached.

BGP modul question
by Laszlo Nemeth 02 May '16

02 May '16

Hello We use the PE 7703 version and we would like to use the BGP modul for our Cisco ASR 9001 router. On the Observium / Routing tab we see the OSPF connections but there is no BGP section. We hard-enabled the BGP in the config.php ($config['enable_bgp'] = 1;) but it doesn’t help. All of BGP related mysql tables are empty. What we did wrong? :) Thanks Laszlo

Alerts and Ports
by Josh Hopper 29 Apr '16

29 Apr '16

I managed to get alerts working and its great. I did have a few questions though. Ideally, I'd like it if there were nothing in red on the dashboard (as if there are issues). [image: Inline image 1] Observium says I have a port down and 1 alert failed. However, all alerts are either OK or suppressed. Ports are either on and in use or disabled. There is nothing that shows in those lists. [image: Inline image 2] [image: Inline image 3] Any reason why it says that something is down? Also, I have a unit that does not have 2 out of 4 PSUs and fans. Show's that they are down. [image: Inline image 4] I have suppressed the alerts. Is there a way to get it to ignore just what is currently down without ignoring the whole device? Your help is appreciated. Thanks. -- JOSHUA HOPPER NETWORK ENGINEER 1-828-558-1403 Joshua.Hopper(a)broadplex.net www.broadplex.net

How do I setup a Sensor alert to tell me if I'm 80% of my circuit or more than 10 Amps? Might have sent this before. Not sure what happened to the email. Sorry for a duplicate if there was one. -- JOSHUA HOPPER NETWORK ENGINEER 1-828-558-1403 Joshua.Hopper(a)broadplex.net www.broadplex.net

Lets Encrypt SSL
by Simon Smith 28 Apr '16

28 Apr '16

Hi All not sure if people have noticed but Lets Encrypt has become very popular at the moment as a very simple fast way of getting SSL https://letsencrypt.org/getting-started/ is was very simple and easy for myself as it just worked! clone the repo, let it install its requirements, and run ./letsencrypt-auto — apache and boom it was done :) would it be possible to add to to the install guide as Optional SSL step?

Graph data failures
by Robert Williams 28 Apr '16

28 Apr '16

Hi, Since our midnight svn up / rediscover, it appears that every port graph has moved the "Unicast Packets Out" data into the "Errors TX" graph?! Images below: This is on all devices on all port graphs, as far as I can see anyway... Including on our test installation polling some lab devices, on a different VM. Help please?

Help with LDAP Authentication
by Ximena Cardinali 26 Apr '16

26 Apr '16

Hello all, We're trying to move our Observium Installation from Radius Authentication to LDAP Authentication. We get an answer from Observium to our LDAP Server, but sadly we can't login in Observium. Here are the LDAP values in our config.php: $config['auth_mechanism'] = "ldap"; $config['auth_ldap_version'] = 3; // LDAP client version (2 or 3) $config['auth_ldap_referrals'] = 0; // Follow LDAP referrals $config['auth_ldap_server'] = "ourserver.de"; // LDAP server name, or array of LDAP server names tried in order. $config['auth_ldap_port'] = 389; // LDAP server port $config['auth_ldap_starttls'] = 'no'; // Use STARTTLS ('no', 'optional' or 'require') $config['auth_ldap_recursive'] = TRUE; // Active Directory recursive lookup for nested groups $config['auth_ldap_recursive_maxdepth'] = 5; // Max depth for recursive lookup $config['auth_ldap_prefix'] = "uid="; $config['auth_ldap_suffix'] = ",ou=users,dc=ourdc"; $config['auth_ldap_group'] = array("cn=ldapWeb,ou=group,dc=ourdc"); $config['auth_ldap_groupbase'] = "ou=groups,dc=ourdc"; $config['auth_ldap_binddn'] = "uid=webadmin,ou=users,dc=ourdc"; // Initial LDAP bind dn and password, leave empty for anonymous bind $config['auth_ldap_bindpw'] = "ourpassword"; $config['auth_ldap_bindanonymous'] = FALSE; $config['auth_ldap_attr']['uid'] = "uid"; // LDAP attribute containing the user login name $config['auth_ldap_attr']['uidNumber'] = "uidNumber"; // LDAP attribute containing the numeric user ID $config['auth_ldap_attr']['cn'] = "cn"; // LDAP attribute containing the user's full name $config['auth_ldap_attr']['dn'] = "dn"; // LDAP attribute containing the user's DN $config['auth_ldap_objectclass'] = "posixAccount"; // objectClass to filter out valid users, use * for all objects under ldap_suffix tree $config['auth_ldap_groupmembertype'] = "nodn"; // Available membertypes: 'nodn' (default, uses $username); // 'fulldn' ($config['auth_ldap_prefix'] . $username . $config['auth_ldap_suffix']) $config['auth_ldap_groupmemberattr'] = "memberUid"; // Use your unique attribute for username, example "uniqueMember". Can someone tell us what are we doing wrong here? Is there any way to activate a ldap debug in Observium? I'll appreciate your help. Regards, Ximena. --- *Ximena E. Cardinali *| Linux SysAdmin
