by Basile Bluntschli 10 Dec '14

Hi Mike after the upgrade to Observium 0.14.12.6089 the Cisco WLC 2504 is no longer recognized as WLC. It is a generic device, it even removed the basic temp sensor after a discovery... "Sensor Sensor deleted: temperature wlc 0 Unit Temperature 0" I can handover you debug information if you want to. Just let me know how i can provide them :) Kind regards Basile

Spikes in 1 and 2 year graphs
by GT4NE1 09 Dec '14

09 Dec '14

Almost all of my 1 and 2 year graphs look like this. http://i.imgur.com/SnDlXz3.png I've tried several times to fix them with removespikes.pl and .php but never had any luck. Has anyone ever gotten the removespikes scripts to work in these cases? I run the command on a single device at a time and receive no output, but it doesn't fix the issue. I've also tried several of the other flags with no luck. Any pointers? Thanks! -GT

Device location not updated in database (already fixed?)
by Erwin Heringa 09 Dec '14

09 Dec '14

Hi Observium developers, I just found out that when i changed the snmp location of a device it is not changed in the database. We are currently using R5919 (yeah… i know. ;-)) Poller output with debugging shows the new location correctly. CMD[/usr/bin/snmpget -v3 **************** SNMPv2-MIB -M /opt/observium/mibs/rfc:/opt/observium/mibs/net-snmp 'udp':'arn2-kafw1.mgmt.sidn.nl':'161' sysUpTime.0 sysLocation.0 sysContact.0 sysName.0] EXITCODE[0]) RUNTIME[0.0304s], STDOUT[ sysUpTime.0 = 5:18:28:36.57 sysLocation.0 = Arnhem ==> OK, this is the new location <cut> On every poll we see the location change in the syslog, but the location is not updated in the database. SQL[INSERT INTO `eventlog` (`device_id`,`reference`,`type`,`timestamp`,`message`) VALUES ('78','NULL','system',NOW(),'Location -> Arnhem')] Module [ system ] time: 0.1684s 2014-12-09 11:43:03 System Location -> Arnhem 2014-12-09 11:38:10 System Location -> Arnhem 2014-12-09 11:33:09 System Location -> Arnhem 2014-12-09 11:28:13 System Location -> Arnhem 2014-12-09 11:23:12 System Location -> Arnhem 2014-12-09 11:18:08 System Location -> Arnhem A manual change of the location in the device record resolved this issue. It seems that there is a statement missing to update the device record.

extending observium to handle custom MIBs
by Richard Broberg 08 Dec '14

08 Dec '14

I have added a tree of MIBs (in the ‘experimental’ section of the tree) for my own application services to respond to snmp requests. This is for determining the health of a running service. I can view the objects using snmpwalk, and I can add the host running the agent to observium. I can see all the information retrieved from the ‘well-known’ MIBs (uptime, load, etc.) in observium for my extended agent, but I can’t see any of my own MIBs. Where do I look for how to let observium know about my MIBs so that it can show the data in a tabular or graphical format? I see the includes/polling/unix-agent/* as some examples, but it’s not clear to me where the mapping between my OIDs goes to the variables inside of running observium, so I can invoke rrdtool_create properly. It’s also not clear to me how I layout the various graphs on the page, once I have them created. If there is some documentation for that somewhere, or a particularly good example in the code to look at which would make it clear, that would be great. Thanks

Wireless Support (Aruba, Ruckus, Trapeze, Cisco, etc)
by adama＠observium.org 08 Dec '14

08 Dec '14

Hi All, Could those of you who are interested in wireless support email me off-list? I've totally lost track of who has offered to financially sponsor development and/or provide access to test hardware. Please include the following information : Contact/Company/Subscriber information What type of support you'd be willing to provide What type of hardware you use What you use the hardware for (WISP, Enterprise, etc) Additionally if you already use some other platform with your wireless kit, perhaps some screenshots and description of how you use the platform would be useful, as would any suggestions on how a wifi infrastructure management interface might be structured. We're not wireless infrastructure experts, but you guys might be! :) Depending upon the level of interest when everyone is accounted for, we might consider building specific wireless support into Observium. Please reply to this mail but change the "to" field to adama(a)observium.org. If you use a different subject, your mail might be lost forever :) Thanks, adam.

Full access live demo?
by Aurélien PERRODY 08 Dec '14

08 Dec '14

Hello guys I'm currently looking for a monitoring tool and try a lot of them (freeware, opensource, etc...) Observium sounds good for me, definitely. I checked the live demo and can't access to the threshold/alert options, which are the most interesting part for me. I know if you give access as a admin to your demo, your Observium demo will be destroy within 1 minute. So before paying for a pro version, is there a possibility to test a live demo as a admin user or install a "time limited full version" on my VM ? Regards, Aurélien

Control-Plane class-maps
by Robert Williams 07 Dec '14

07 Dec '14

Hi, Is there are way to get the CBQoS stats for the control-plane on the 6500 (or indeed any Cisco with control-plane policies really)? I know they are presented via SNMP as we have the stats in Cacti, showing against “CPP” which is the same name as Observium has for the Control Plane interface (after I un-filtered it in config.php). For what it’s worth, here is the table from the Cacti query: [cid:image002.jpg@01D0121F.7F26CDC0] In this example, you can see 4 of the CoPP classes, alongside one of the interface classes. We use Cacti to get the control-plane classes only (hence grey) and all the interface classes are done by Observium because it handles the dynamic changes which occur MUCH better than Cacti does. Observium sees the same interface index (19) and name (CPP): [cid:image004.png@01D0121F.497847D0] But for some reason it doesn’t attach the CBQoS statistics for the control-plane…? All other QoS stats are present, so in general it is working OK, just the CPP ones which are missing (or I can’t find them). Any ideas? Cheers!
