Hi,

do you perhaps now have the time to describe the feature?

In the past this was your statement to the problem:

There was a new feature released in 0.8.6c that will allow the creation of the PortName and Catalyst template. I just don't have time to write it.

Sorry,

TheWitness

THX in advance!!

I would like this as well as I've got CatOS switches around. Would it worthwhile to do this using a perl script - the same way I have done QoS classes with CBWFQ?

I'm not really interested in writing a script that polls for everything SNMP, but maybe a snap-in module that can crack out the interface names. Is this possible?

Only thing for me is incentive to write. Paypal is a friend....

Hello;

I'm write a php script for Interface Traffic.

Now, you have the number module, the number port and portname.

Actually work find with WS-C4003 Cisco Catalyst.

- Put query_interface_traffic_catos.php in |path_cacti|/scripts/query_interface_traffic_catos.php

- Put iftraffic_catos.xml in |path_cacti|/resource/script_queries

- Import cacti_host_template_cisco_catos_switch.xml

My cacti version is 0.8.6i ( "cat |path_cacti|/include/config.php | grep cacti_version" )

I am using this host template to graph an cisco catalyst 6500.

The problem i face is that i cant graph the traffic for vlans. (i get zero values)

Anyone else facing this problem?

xenonserge,
i´ve had a problem with your script.

Basically, it didn´t report any data to Cacti.

# cactid -f 80 -l 81 --verbosity=4 -R -S

CACTID: Using cactid config file [/etc/cactid.conf]
CACTID: Version 0.8.6f starting
Host[80] SNMP Result: Host responded to SNMP

Host[80] ERROR: Empty result [hostA]: '/usr/bin/php -q /usr/share/cacti/scripts/query_interface_traffic_catos.php hostA "communityA" 2 161 500 "" "" get ifInOctets 10'

It seems i´ve got a problem with double quotes at community string (I´ve checked the device options at cacti´s web and the community has no quotes). I don´t know why nobody else have had it.

php script "query_interface_traffic_catos.php" calls cacti_snmp_get function and pass the $community variable including doble quotes so cacti_snmp_get returns U error code.

WORKAROUND

query_interface_traffic_catos.php

174 # -------------------------------------------------------------------------
175 }elseif ($cmd == "get") {
176 print (cacti_snmp_get($hostname, $snmp_community, $oids[$query_field] .
177 ".$query_index", $snmp_version, $snmp_user, $snmp_pw,
178 $snmp_port, $snmp_timeout, $snmp_retries));
179
180 # -------------------------------------------------------------------------

You must insert the next line:

174 # -------------------------------------------------------------------------
175 }elseif ($cmd == "get") {
176 $snmp_community=str_replace("\"","",$snmp_community);
177 print (cacti_snmp_get($hostname, $snmp_community, $oids[$query_field] .
178 ".$query_index", $snmp_version, $snmp_user, $snmp_pw,
179 $snmp_port, $snmp_timeout, $snmp_retries));
180
181 # -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hope this help you.

Just some quick changes for this script to work with cacti 0.8.7a version:

[Argh]

Hi, I am getting this error:

SPINE: Poller[0] Host[13] ERROR: Empty result [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]: 'c:\php\php.exe -q C:\apache2\htdocs\cacti\scripts\query_interface_traffic_catos.php xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx "public" 2 161 500 "" "" get ifInOctets 12'

I am using Cacti 0.8.7a and Spine 0.8.7a and php 5.2.5. I am using the latest query_interface_traffic_catos.php file to accomodate the changes in 0.8.7a also.

Any idea what that error means.

[gvibe06]

host template with -

- cpu
- memory
- backplane usage

- interface

This *only* works for catOS switches

Exported with cacti 8.5a / PHP 4.3.2 and cactihistoric

Hi ..

I was just wondering how you enabled the sysTraffic counter on your switches? This would be the counter for the Cisco CatOS Load data/graph templates in your package.

Mine currently say "0" for all of the items in .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.5.1.1.8.0

Any help would be great ...

[Argh]

Still trying to solve my issue with this script. The error states an empty result from the command

Empty result [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]: 'c:\php\php.exe -q C:\apache2\htdocs\cacti\scripts\query_interface_traffic_catos.php xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx "public" 1 161 500 "" "" get ifInOctets 9'

However, when I run it from a command line it returns a value. Also, when I poll using cmd.php the error is no longer there. So, it appears something is not right with spine and the script. Others seem to have this script running fine, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a fresh install of cacti and followed the instructions above but something fails when I create a new graph.

I attempt to create a 95th percentile graph but the Inbound and Outbound data sources are empty.

I also get this:

Nothing is created in /var/www/cacti/rra/

I've tried several things but nothing seems to work. Is this a lost cause or is there any hope of getting useful data off my CatOS switch?

[Graham99]

I'm getting the same problem, an RRD file is not created. Apart from 1-minute polling, this is a vanilla install of 0.8.7a. No plugins. No other scripts installed. I don't know where to start with debugging this.

The initial graph creation dialogue pulls back the correct data from the switch (4006) including the port descriptions, but after selecting the interfaces to graph, no files are created:

RRDTool Says:

ERROR: opening '/var/www/htdocs/cacti-0.8.7a/rra/myswitch1_traffic_in_204.rrd': No such file or directory

There are no errors showing in the log file.
