cisco QoS and CAR 64bit templates pack

[johnrembo]

Hi All,

there were some cisco qos and car templates floating around, but i found them very inneficient and resource-hungry - so made personal-ones.

CAR:


QoS:


instructions on installing them are inside the archives.

cheers

ps: I would appreciate someone could recreate data-query,data-template and graph-template on 0.8.6.x, because currently it is not possible to import templates to 0.8.6.x (only 0.8.7)

Just wanted to thank you for these scripts, they saved me a lot of work having to do it myself.

Would you update it to also graph the packet drop rate? If not - I may try to take a stab at it.

Bytes Dropped should be 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.166.1.15.1.1.16, it would be great if your script could also do it as well as traffic.

i will consider that. it might take a month maybe - I'm to busy now (currently working on juniper cos and alcatel-lucent templates)

Hi Johnrembo, i was checking your template "cisco-qos-64_v2.tar.gz",but...my problem is...that I don`t have SNMP V3 enable in my Routers, do you have a version for SNMP V2 ? or is there another way to use your version con v2c ?

Thanks a lot

these scripts are universal - they should work with all the snmp versions but I had problems on some devices with snmp_V2 - only 32bit counters were available - that is a pain on Core machines.

Hi Johnrembo

I'm getting some strange results with this data query... I'm trying to monitor a policy map applied into an E3 interface (34Mb) but in the graphs i'm seeing values up to 100 Mbs an over. Which doesn't make sense since the maximum capacity of the interface is 34Mb. Why can this be happening?

And its funny, because on Gb interfaces it seems to work just fine

The router info is a 7600 with SNMPv3 enabled. Please help!

I do personaly also experience some peaks in graphs and this problem is not solved yet. The only way to fight with this annoying feature is to limit data-source maximums to port speed. There's also a perl script floating around cacti forums called "removespikes.pl"

I might only suspect that this is kind of php5_snmp faulty behaviour (but not a bug): timeouts under unix linux environment can be interupted by any external proccess. When certain cacti device or snmp query get's timeouted - it affects all the snmp-cache. counter integer range (delta) get's divided by the smaller time period - that results in hudge traffic values on chart.

[elviejorafiki]

thanks a lot for your reply... I'll look forward for the script to eliminate spikes... but i have 2 more questions,
Is it possible to include in the data query the ifAlias of the interface in order to have that information on the graph title? That would be very usefull for me since I have a lot of interfaces to monitor and It would be a nice feature to include.
The second one, is that I'm using about 7 different class maps on each policy-map, would it be possible to include all of them in one single graph instead of having 7 different graphs for each interface.


Thanks

Hello johnrembo, I was looking info about to "elviejorafiki" question, to create a graph with an interface and 7 different class maps. MY QUESTION is ...Could I add a CDEF FUNCTION to joing it?
Thanks

that's easy - just add the following text to /resource/script_queries/cisco-qos-64.xml at row 25, between </status> and <name>:

Code: Select all

                <ifAlias>
                        <name>Alias</name>
                        <direction>input</direction>
                        <query_name>alias</query_name>
                </ifAlias>

next, you should go to "Data Queries" -> "cisco-qos-64" -> "Associated Graph Templates" -> "cisco-qos-64 bits" and change "Suggested Values" for both - graph and data template by adding ifAlias to the titles (remove old-ones): "|host_description| - QOS bits(64) - |query_ifAlias| |query_class| - |query_policy| - |query_name|"

The second one, is that I'm using about 7 different class maps on each policy-map, would it be possible to include all of them in one single graph instead of having 7 different graphs for each interface.

hmm...let me think...I'm afraid that will require modification of cisco-qos-64.php...it more likely shuld sound "adaptation"
another solution - usage of additional data input method, which could return counters for all class-maps of certain policy-map.

that's not that difficult actually as it might just have sounded.

Nope, that's not what CDEFs are designed for. CDEF calculations can only be appliet on graph items, so your primary task is to put all these class-maps on single graphs (see post above).

[elviejorafiki]

Thanks! your help is being very useful. please let me know if you are able to put n-class maps into a single graph!

Hi

I've installed this, and the data query runs OK, but no rows are being returned. I've been monitoring CAR rate-limit counters manually by OID, and it works OK. Could this mean that the router only supports only 32 bit counters? It is a Cisco 3825.

Thanks

Jason
