Error "Creation Failed" when Adding Port Groups
Goal: Attempting to make “aggregate” graphs by calculating port bandwidth from multiple devices. For example, a graph that shows the total bandwidth of IP transit or IXP Peering ports that are not in LAG groups on Cisco gear.
Problem Statement: When creating a “Group” of ports I get an error in red that says “Creation Failed: Unknown action requested.”
Problem Description: 1. Click “Create New Group” in the GUI 2. Select Entity Type “Port” 3. Give group name of “TestGroup1” 4. Select “Device” from the dropdown, default to “in” and select a Cisco router in the dropdown that is already present and working in Observium 5. Click “Add rule” select “AND” choose “Port ifIndex” “equals” enter in the field the ifindex a. I’ve also tried adding just one or even multiple rules with “OR’s” results in this message b. I’ve also tried adding the port with “Port ID”, “Port ifDescr”, “Port ifName” and others all result in this failure message c. I’m getting the port_id, ifindex, ifName, etc from the “Data” tab when viewing a Port of the Cisco in Observium 6. Click the bottom right, green “Add Group” and receive the error message: “Creation Failed: Unknown action requested.”
Can someone direct me to how to make such graphs? And/or explain what I might be doing wrong that I cannot create Port Groups?

Thanks for looking it over Mike to verify I was attempting it correctly.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can troubleshoot this problem? Also, can I send images with this email thread? Is it best for me to send links to images or create a video to describe the problem better?
Here is what I have tried to troubleshoot:
* I don’t see any relevant entries in the /opt/observium/logs files. * Observium is updated to the latest subscription edition. * I will also note that Traffic Accounting for billing does graph data but all data in “Bill Summary” is blank. That’s the only other oddity that I’ve noticed about my installation. * I’ve tried this with multiple Cisco devices (Catalyst, Nexus, ASR, etc.) with the same failed result. * Using different options for the rule such as Port ifIndex, ifName, even > rather than equals and still get the immediate failed result.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hi Justin,
mainly increase php memory as showed by FAQ entry (apache restart required). 128M is very small limit.
After that you can check errors in apache error log.

Hi,
Subscription edition, have just completed an upgrade of underlying Ubuntu to 22.04 from 18.04. Added all packages back to correct versions as per docs:
apt install libapache2-mod-php8.1 php8.1-cli php8.1-mysql php8.1-gd php8.1-bcmath php8.1-mbstring \ php8.1-opcache php8.1-curl php-apcu php-pear snmp fping mysql-server mysql-client rrdtool subversion \ whois mtr-tiny ipmitool graphviz imagemagick apache2 python3-mysqldb python3-pymysql python-is-python3
PHP Version is as expected:
PHP 8.1.2-1ubuntu2.10 (cli) (built: Jan 16 2023 15:19:49) (NTS) Copyright (c) The PHP Group Zend Engine v4.1.2, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies
However, both Apache and any manual CLI attempts throw this:
# ./poller.php -h all PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Cannot use a scalar value as an array in /opt/observium/includes/definitions/mibs/brocade.inc.php:105 Stack trace: #0 /opt/observium/includes/include-dir.inc.php(48): include() #1 /opt/observium/includes/definitions/mibs.inc.php(780): require('...') #2 /opt/observium/includes/definitions.inc.php(396): include('...') #3 /opt/observium/includes/sql-config.inc.php(55): require('...') #4 /opt/observium/poller.php(19): include('...') #5 {main} thrown in /opt/observium/includes/definitions/mibs/brocade.inc.php on line 105
Have tried setting as per docs:
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE
Still throws it as ‘fatal’ and dies :(
We are at revision 12495.
Any ideas please? Assuming this is a side effect of an in-place upgrade on Ubuntu, rather than a reinstall/migrate, that’ll teach me…

Hi!
Currently showing these:
# svn status M . ? config.php D C includes/definitions/os/tripplite.inc.php > local file unversioned, incoming file add upon update A + C includes/polling/os/cs121.inc.php > local file edit, incoming file delete or move upon update ? observium.log ? rrd Summary of conflicts: Tree conflicts: 2
The cs121 is something we changed ages ago, it’s probably no longer relevant. Tripplite I have no idea about to be honest, don’t recognise that one.
Out of interest, I’ve dropped it back to php 7.4.33 – with no other changes - and it’s perfectly happy both at CLI and in Apache.
Will sit on 7 for now then as it keeps it operational, but am happy to flip it 7<>8 in order to test anything suggested.
Cheers!

Do you have any local modifications?

How odd…
I poked it a bit, the behaviour is interesting (added line numbers):
1 $mib = 'FOUNDRY-SN-SWITCH-GROUP-MIB'; 2 $config['mibs'][$mib]['enable'] = 1; 3 $config['mibs'][$mib]['identity_num'] = '.1.3.6.1.4.1.1991.1.1.3'; 4 $config['mibs'][$mib]['mib_dir'] = 'brocade'; 5 $config['mibs'][$mib]['descr'] = '';
Found that commenting out (2) just moves the error to (3), and so on.
But, if you comment out (1) instead, thus leaving $mib defined as the previous definition, all the lines 2,3,4,5 are all now suddenly valid.
So the issue occurs only once you assign $mib as FOUNDRY-SN-SWITCH-GROUP-MIB in particular. It is ok if you assign it to another MIB name instead.
Clearing up that section with comments, moved the issue to another file, but with identical symptoms and behaviour:
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Cannot use a scalar value as an array in /opt/observium/includes/definitions/mibs/force10.inc.php:15
$mib = 'FORCE10-BGP4-V2-MIB'; $config['mibs'][$mib]['enable'] = 1; $config['mibs'][$mib]['identity_num'] = '.1.3.6.1.4.1.6027.20.1'; $config['mibs'][$mib]['mib_dir'] = 'force10'; $config['mibs'][$mib]['descr'] = '';
And similar behaviour occurs there….
So whatever it dislikes, it only dislikes it when certain MIBs are being referenced?
I can’t remember, but are these MIB files (or something MIB definition related) stored outside of SVN? Is it possible those are stale in our deployment?
Cheers!

# svn status M . ? config.php D C includes/definitions/os/tripplite.inc.php > local file unversioned, incoming file add upon update A + C includes/polling/os/cs121.inc.php > local file edit, incoming file delete or move upon update ? observium.log ? rrd Summary of conflicts: Tree conflicts: 2
The cs121 is something we changed ages ago, it’s probably no longer relevant. Tripplite I have no idea about to be honest, don’t recognise that one.
Out of interest, I’ve dropped it back to php 7.4.33 – with no other changes - and it’s perfectly happy both at CLI and in Apache.
Will sit on 7 for now then as it keeps it operational, but am happy to flip it 7<>8 in order to test anything suggested.
Cheers!

How odd. I’ve not seen this before, you’d expect other PHP8 installs to hit it!
Do you have any local modifications?

Have tried setting as per docs:
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE
Still throws it as ‘fatal’ and dies :(
We are at revision 12495.
Any ideas please? Assuming this is a side effect of an in-place upgrade on Ubuntu, rather than a reinstall/migrate, that’ll teach me…

Mainly, you should not use poller.php -h all at all. This is old deprecated way, I'm sure there might be some unexpected errors here, especially with php 8.x.
Correct usage is poller wrapper as: /opt/observium/observium-warpper poller

error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE

This message should only appear if you make a request with an action variable that doesn't have a corresponding action. It's the "failthrough" condition when actions.php is trying to figure out what code to send the request to.
In this instance the action should be group_add, and it should get passed to html/ajax/actions/group_add.inc.php
Do you have that file?

Goal: Attempting to make “aggregate” graphs by calculating port bandwidth from multiple devices. For example, a graph that shows the total bandwidth of IP transit or IXP Peering ports that are not in LAG groups on Cisco gear.
Problem Statement: When creating a “Group” of ports I get an error in red that says “Creation Failed: Unknown action requested.”
Problem Description:
- Click “Create New Group” in the GUI
- Select Entity Type “Port”
- Give group name of “TestGroup1”
- Select “Device” from the dropdown, default to “in” and select a Cisco router in the dropdown that is already present and working in Observium
- Click “Add rule” select “AND” choose “Port ifIndex” “equals” enter in the field the ifindex
a. I’ve also tried adding just one or even multiple rules with “OR’s” results in this message b. I’ve also tried adding the port with “Port ID”, “Port ifDescr”, “Port ifName” and others all result in this failure message c. I’m getting the port_id, ifindex, ifName, etc from the “Data” tab when viewing a Port of the Cisco in Observium 6. Click the bottom right, green “Add Group” and receive the error message: “Creation Failed: Unknown action requested.”
Can someone direct me to how to make such graphs? And/or explain what I might be doing wrong that I cannot create Port Groups?
