10 Gigabit Ethernet shows as speed 4294967295

[ben_c]

So has anyone actually got ten gig interfaces graphing correctly?

I've got 64bit counters setup with it's max value = 1000000000, and I even have cron running the poller every 60 seconds.

The cisco show interface looks like :

exip-swtcor-1401#sh int te2/4
TenGigabitEthernet2/4 is up, line protocol is up (connected)
5 minute input rate 597189000 bits/sec, 22655 packets/sec
5 minute output rate 1476596000 bits/sec, 34702 packets/sec

But the graph only looks like below. Getting quite disheartened that I can ever get it working

Hello.
Are you shure that the SNMP agent on the router reports correctly the actual speed ? Did you do a snmpwalk/fet for the oid of the router , e.g : snmpwalk ..... ; sleep 300 ; snmpwalk ?
SNMP agents (even from Cisco ) can be quirky sometimes .


P>S On my Cacti deplyment I get the correct graphs from 10 gig eth , however we do not have enough traffic to fill it to the max .

[ben_c]

I can get about 3.85Gbit so far before the filers flake out haha.

I seem to have got it working to some point, through the 64bit counters are going to wrap if I can get more than 4.3Gbit out of it I assume, but we'll work that out when we come to it!

Thanks for everyones help.

64bit counters wont wrap in 5 minutes even at full 10Gbps raw throughput. Trust me. What more than likely to happen is that your RRA's have a max value that will cut them off.

Hi all

I have just tried to follow instructions from this post and another post http://forums.cacti.net/about20034.html&highlight=10Gig

I updated my data templates maximum value from 0, which I was using, to 1250000000

I did an RRDtune on one of my 10GIG rrd files

rrdtool tune <filename>.rrd -a traffic_in:U -a traffic_out:U

You can see the MAX value now shows as NAN which stops a limit being imposed

PS C:\Apache2\htdocs\cacti\rra> rrdtool info <filename>.rrd
filename = "<filename>.rrd"
rrd_version = "0003"
step = 60
last_update = 1185808518
ds[traffic_in].type = "COUNTER"
ds[traffic_in].minimal_heartbeat = 600
ds[traffic_in].min = 0.0000000000e+00
ds[traffic_in].max = NaN
ds[traffic_in].last_ds = "104271994586"
ds[traffic_in].value = 2.4974440134e+05
ds[traffic_in].unknown_sec = 0
ds[traffic_out].type = "COUNTER"
ds[traffic_out].minimal_heartbeat = 600
ds[traffic_out].min = 0.0000000000e+00
ds[traffic_out].max = NaN
ds[traffic_out].last_ds = "10489689646"
ds[traffic_out].value = 2.3619130435e+04
ds[traffic_out].unknown_sec = 0


I didn't notice any changes in the graphs but that may be due to there not being a massive amount of data going through that port at the moment.


After looking at this particular post I decided to change the interface tempate replacing ifspeed with ifhighspeed and updating the OID as shown

<ifHighSpeed>
<name>HighSpeed</name>
<method>walk</method>
<source>value</source>
<direction>input</direction>
<oid>.1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.15</oid>
</ifHighSpeed>


When I went to create a graph I noticed the field for speed had gone so I rescanned the device and I now see highspeed. The data is now displayed in Mb and I can see my 10GIG port shows up as 10000 Mb rather than the 42... number.

The only problem with this is that I know need to go and rescan every device as it has removed the speed from the snmp interface stats snmp query. This hasn't affected my existing graphs in anyway. Does anyone know a quick way of rescanning all my devices??? BTW I'm not a script expert!!

I have also noticed something strange. Within the interface traffic graph template I have added a comment item

CIRCUIT SPEED: |query_ifSpeed| bits per second

This shows the circuit speed on the graphs. This query doesn't work with 10GIG interfaces yet it does with 1GIG and below. I then change the comment to use highspeed instead

CIRCUIT SPEED: |query_ifHighSpeed| Mbits per second

I can now see the 10GIG speed on the graph as 10000 but the other 1GIG and under graphs just show |query_ifHighSpeed| rather than the value. I would have thought that by using highspeed it would have still picked up the slower port speeds.

Any ideas??

Hello,

we just received some Catalyst 4500 with some TenGigabit Ethernet Ports.

Cacti shows them by default with ifSpeed of 4294967295 bits - as it is based on the standard Interface-mib.

In the extended ifTable - Mib the values are given in Mbit and showing up correctly, but cacti does not use them. If I manipulate the data-query.xml to include the OID of the xTable-Mib, I`m able to discover devices correctly, but upon graph-creation the max-value is not inserted from the ifHighSpeed entry, it still inserts the one from standard-mib ifSpeed, which is wrong and cannot be used.

Has anyone an idea, how to change that?
Anyone out with a full tengigabit-cacti solution without manual intervention?

thanks in advance,

best regads,

tom

Please visit the Data Query named "Interface - Traffic". Please select the appropriate Graph Template, then (one of the 64Bit items). Please find the "Suggested Value" section. See the entry

rrd_maximum |query_ifSpeed|

and replace it by

rrd_maximum |query_ifHighSpeed|

and retry. In order not to destroy a standard template that may be used for 1 GB devices, the correct solution would be to add a new entry (a copy of the 64Bit Template issue with only the rrd_maximum entry changed). This is required, because not all 1 GB devices will support the HighSpeed MIBs

Hello,

the query_ifHighSpeed return a value given in MBit. for 10-gigabit it returns 10000. if I use this value as the rrd_maximum, the maximum value which rrd stores is 10000. I mean the maximum value should be 10000000000 (10000*1000000) because of the MBit value.

How can I do this within cacti? I tried to ||query_ifHighSpeed|*100000| but that does not work. Any ideas? Or am I totally wrong on that?

thanks in advance,

best regards,

tom

Uuh, bad luck. I do not have such a device, so this all was made out of pure theory.
And yes, it is not possible to do maths with |query_*| type variables.
For now, you may check the checkbox next to the "MAXIMUM" value for the datasource. Then you'll be able to select the correct rrd_maximum at graph creation time. Nasty workaround, for sure

I created another Graph/Data Template just for 10G interfaces. I tried |query_ifHighSpeed|*1000000 for the rrd_maximum and got 10000*1000000. I then tried ||query_ifHighSpeed|*1000000| and am getting 1000000000 as the max value which is only 1G. Doing the math, 10000*1000000 = 10000000000 = 10G. Whats going on??

[scruboy01]

Manually entering 10000000000 as the rrd_maximum works.

[glista]

or

Add lines in file »cacti/resource/interfaces.xml« these lines after </ifSpeed>:
…
</ifSpeed>
<ifHighSpeed>
<name>HighSpeed</name>
<method>walk</method>
<source>value</source>
<direction>input</direction>
<oid>.1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.15</oid>
</ifHighSpeed>
…..
In menu Data Queries:
Go to: SNMP Interface Statistics -> »In/Out Bits (64-bit Counters)«
And add in Suggested Values for »Data Template - Interface – Traffic«
|query_ifHighSpeed|000000 Field Name: rrd_maximum

Go to: SNMP Interface Statistics -> »In/Out Bytes (64-bit Counters)
And add in Suggested Values for »Data Template - Interface – Traffic«
|query_ifHighSpeed|000000 Field Name: rrd_maximum

For old data sources u have manually edit max value in rrd files

OK Solved...

Go to: SNMP Interface Statistics -> »In/Out Bytes (64-bit Counters)
And add in Suggested Values for »Data Template - Interface – Traffic«
rrd_maximum |query_ifSpeed|

tnks!!!
