Additional portpercent element/widget on frontpage?
by Gumilar Siegfried MSc. 29 Oct '20

29 Oct '20

Hello! I would love to be able to add a second Traffic Comparison (portpercent) with different port groups to our dashboard. Is that somehow possible? Right now I can add a second "Traffic Composition" Widget in the dashboard edit mode, but it still uses the same port groups as the other one. This is how our current configuration looks like: $config['frontpage']['order'] = array('status_summary', 'map', 'overall_traffic', 'portpercent', 'device_status', 'altert_table', 'syslog', 'eventlog'); $config['frontpage']['portpercent']['Peering'] = array('group' => 5); $config['frontpage']['portpercent']['Transit'] = array('group' => 6); $config['frontpage']['portpercent']['options'] = array('graph_format' => 'single'); In my opinion, it would be best if you could simply use portpercent2, for example, to configure the next widget. Regards, Siegfried

graphing total PoE
by Eric W. Bates 27 Oct '20

27 Oct '20

We use a lot of cisco 2960 PoE switches in stacks and we want to know the total demand of the stack. Currently Observium gives us a separate "PoE Group n" for each switch in the stack so those are handy subtotals. But is there a way to create a custom graph with the sum of all the PoE Groups? -- Clark 159a, MS 46 508/289-3112

Device Graphs are not drawing
by Dulanjaya Oshaka 26 Oct '20

26 Oct '20

Hello I am an absolute beginner to Observium and Linux. I installed Observium in my environment as Syslog and SNMP server. I added some Cisco Catalyst 9500 series, 9200 and Nexus N3k Series switches. After I added those devices, In some devices are not drawing Graphs (like System, Traffic statistics etc). What is the issue for this and How I fix this? I have another question. I need to add more Hard disk space to my ubuntu VM that I installed in Observium. But there is some issue to expand my root disk. I installed Observium also in my Root partition. Because of this I have planned to create an another partition using LVM and move Observium to that partition. Is this possible? If so, How I do that and How can I see the mount point in Observium? Thanks and Regards Dulanjaya Oshaka

Cisco Wifi APs registered twice
by Lars Joergensen 23 Oct '20

23 Oct '20

Hi We had a power mishap which resulted in the Cisco wifi controller rebooting. After that all the AP's got registered twice in observium. Deleting the controller and re-adding it didn't clear up the issue. I manually deleted all entries from the wifi_aps table and got the thing working correct. It's not a big issue, but it should be an easy change to only add unique APs, based on name or MAC, to the database.

Graphs keep reset randomly and losing previous history
by Gordon Cheng (gocheng) 22 Oct '20

22 Oct '20

Hi Adam and Observium team: We recently started having an issue with our Observium (20.9.10749) that the graphs for different devices would restart and all its previous history would be gone: [Graphical user interface Description automatically generated] And we usually see the following ‘messages’ under /var/log around that time: Oct 18 05:07:13 sjc-observium-1 rrdcached[1495]: queue_thread_main: rrd_update_r (/opt/observium/rrd/atl-wan04/status.rrd) failed with status -1. (/opt/observium/rrd/atl-wan04/status.rrd: illegal attempt to update using time 1603020715 when last update time is 1603021928 (minimum one second step)) Oct 19 05:12:05 sjc-observium-1 rrdcached[14841]: queue_thread_main: rrd_update_r (/opt/observium/rrd/atl-wan04/status.rrd) failed with status -1. (/opt/observium/rrd/atl-wan04/status.rrd: illegal attempt to update using time 1603106221 when last update time is 1603108322 (minimum one second step)) Oct 20 05:32:47 sjc-observium-1 rrdcached[14471]: queue_thread_main: rrd_update_r (/opt/observium/rrd/atl-wan04/status.rrd) failed with status -1. (/opt/observium/rrd/atl-wan04/status.rrd: illegal attempt to update using time 1603194156 when last update time is 1603194737 (minimum one second step)) We have tried restarting the rrdcached process, and deleting the rrdcached files which are not updated for some time (with the command “find * -type f -mtime +5 -delete” under the rrd directory). But they don’t help much. Do you have any suggestions how we can further investigate and troubleshoot this? Thanks. - Gordon

Error drawing graph (can not parse an empty rpn expression)
by McGregor, Kevin 22 Oct '20

22 Oct '20

I just upgraded from 19.8 to 20.9 CE. In both I've been having the same problem: Everything works as expected, except two devices (of 19) produce a big pink box instead of a chart for the "Ports" widget on the Overview page for the devices. The chart is titled "Error Drawing Graph". Other similar devices (same OS version, etc.) all show a normal-looking chart in the same place. The devices are "SunOS <hostname> 5.11 11.4.25.75.3 sun4v". Most other devices of the same version work, just not two of them. When I click on the chart, I get the Ports page and a bigger version of the same chart. Selecting "RRD Command" produces this below the pink box: Description Device total traffic in bits/sec.
