I don’t think it’s anything with Observium, try debugging syslog-ng. Stop the service and run

Syslog-ng –Fevd

 

See how the alerts are coming in…problem is, you’ll have to wait for the duplex mismatch, unless you have the resources to test it.

 

Thank you,

Nicholas

Mostly it’s the same messages that start working when I enable the sequence numbers.

 

Lots of Duplex mismatches and such… 

 

Works:

1423983: Jun 27 10:52:54 EST: %CDP-4-DUPLEX_MISMATCH: duplex mismatch discovered on FastEthernet0/16 (not full duplex), with xxxxx.local FastEthernet0/0 (full duplex).

 

Doesn’t:

Jun 27 10:53:13 EST: %CDP-4-DUPLEX_MISMATCH: duplex mismatch discovered on FastEthernet0/16 (not full duplex), with xxxxx.local FastEthernet0/0 (full duplex).

It might be beneficial to know what that syslog message was supposed to be. Although I don’t monitor many Cisco gear, I do monitor a lot of Adtran, and I haven’t had to change much of anything to get it working with syslog-ng and Observium.

 

Thank you,

Subject: [Observium] Odd issue with Syslog collection

 

On a recent install of observium, I’ve noticed some oddities with Syslog collection… Some devices are being collected just fine, but others are not. 

In the example screenshot included below, my firewall ***10, and one switch ***04 are both being collected just fine. But the switches 75***** and *****50 are not.

One thing I noticed was that someone had turned on “service sequence-numbers” on the ****04 switch. (The ASA has no such feature that I know of.. ) When I disabled this service, the collection stopped working on that device! Example here…http://i.imgur.com/HViWcTk.png

Thoughts? Thanks!!
