Unknown Locations in Device > Locations menu
by Jacob Bisby 18 Feb '16

18 Feb '16

Hi All I'm having some trouble with Observium's mapping - we have it configured to build the Location list and geolocation, etc automatically based on the address/location pulled via SNMP. This works for almost every device we have, but there are two devices which show up under Unknown Location, even though Observium has pulled correct and valid address data for them. It does not appear to successfully pull co-ordinates for the address either, as the two devices appear on the map in the middle of the ocean. I have tried switching from the Yahoo API to the Google API (with API key) but this has not changed the behaviour of the issue. Currently on version 0.16.2.7592, we update via SVN once a month and we were having this same issue on 0.16.1.x as-well. Hoping somebody here has seen this issue before and can help me out or point me in the right direction.

Device mix-up
by Laz C. Peterson 17 Feb '16

17 Feb '16

So, weird thing happened today … We had a network outage that lasted for maybe 45 minutes that kept Observium from monitoring one site. When Observium resumed its normal monitoring activities, it somehow added a whole bunch of inventory items for a Cisco router to a KVM virtual server. About 10 minutes ago, it deleted all of the Cisco items, and is now back to normal. Has anyone seen anything like this before? Does anyone know what might have caused this? ~ Laz Peterson Paravis, LLC

Adam, It appears that our OBS isn't updating the accounting details such as 95%ile. The cron task is identical to the how-to. What command can we run to manually update these figures?

Speeding up caching and database
by Louis Bailleul 16 Feb '16

16 Feb '16

Hi Team, I have a performance issue with the web interface. My Observium is monitoring 3095 devices from which 168 are switches (Just a bit less than 20000 ports total). My server is an IBM X3650 M4, 32G of ram, 6 cores and a raid 10 of SSD. I am more than happy with the polling performance has it finishing in under 200seconds. But the web interface is quite annoying : I have a minimum Time to first bit of ~2seconds. Once these two seconds have passed the page load almost instantly, graphs included. So the question is, can I speed things up ? And if yes how ? It looks like Observium is spending about a second in the database and says that the Cache took 2 seconds to process (?). Do I have some leverage on these points to make it faster ? Page load time (Just a device page) : Connection Setup TIME Queueing 5.24 ms Stalled 1.26 ms Request sent 0.80 ms Waiting (TTFB) 3.29 s Content Download 26.62 ms Explanation 3.33 s Observium Performance report : Page 2.281s Cache 2.047s MySQL Cell 50/0.0633s Row 35/0.0113s Rows 49/0.7822s Column 8/0.0564s Memory Cached 180MB Page 189MB Peak 229MB Versions: Observium 0.16.1.7535 (27th January 2016) OS Linux 3.10.0-327.el7.x86_64 [amd64] (CentOS 7.2.1511) Apache 2.4.6 (CentOS) PHP/5.4.16 PHP 5.4.16 Python 2.7.5 MySQL 5.5.44-MariaDB-log (extension: mysqli 5.5.44-MariaDB) SNMP NET-SNMP 5.7.2 RRDtool 1.4.8 Stats : Statistics DB size 606MB RRD size 134GB Devices 3095 Ports 19390 IPv4 Addresses 6148 IPv4 Networks 44 IPv6 Addresses 2959 IPv6 Networks 1 Services 0 Applications 0 Processors 61262 Memory 15563 Storage 11742 Disk I/O 97461 HR-MIB 96815 Entity-MIB 7292 Syslog Entries 0 Eventlog Entries 172938 Sensors 3863 Toner Mysqltuner output : -------- Performance Metrics ------------------------------------------------- [--] Up for: 2d 21h 57m 9s (260M q [1K qps], 5K conn, TX: 283B, RX: 45B) [--] Reads / Writes: 59% / 41% [--] Binary logging is disabled [--] Total buffers: 10.5G global + 4.7M per thread (650 max threads) [OK] Maximum reached memory usage: 11.2G (35.94% of installed RAM) [OK] Maximum possible memory usage: 13.5G (43.37% of installed RAM) [OK] Slow queries: 0% (14K/260M) [OK] Highest usage of available connections: 21% (142/650) [OK] Aborted connections: 0.00% (0/5477) [OK] Query cache efficiency: 32.3% (74M cached / 230M selects) [OK] Query cache prunes per day: 0 [OK] Sorts requiring temporary tables: 0% (129 temp sorts / 182K sorts) [OK] Temporary tables created on disk: 0% (201 on disk / 112K total) [OK] Thread cache hit rate: 97% (142 created / 5K connections) [OK] Table cache hit rate: 102% (922 open / 896 opened) [OK] Open file limit used: 5% (52/1K) [OK] Table locks acquired immediately: 97% (244M immediate / 249M locks) -------- MyISAM Metrics ----------------------------------------------------- [!!] Key buffer used: 18.0% (28M used / 157M cache) [OK] Key buffer size / total MyISAM indexes: 150.0M/99.0K [!!] Read Key buffer hit rate: 93.3% (15 cached / 1 reads) -------- InnoDB Metrics ----------------------------------------------------- [--] InnoDB is enabled.

Sorting on traffic bug?
by Steffie Morris 13 Feb '16

13 Feb '16

Hi, when you are in the ports view of a switch, and you sort on the column traffic. speeds op 900Mbit are sorted before 1.5Gbit. probably because 900 is larger than 1.5 but the unit is different so i guess that needs to be taken into account somehow?
