AIX Host Template

gsaray101 · Post by **gsaray101** » Tue May 20, 2008 1:33 pm

I have aix servers that are running net-snmp. When I try to manually walk the mibs that are provided here, it is coming back with object does not exist error. How can I make these template work with net-snmp?

Thanks,

mike

You don't, they are designed to work with the AIX SNMP Agent.

Does the SNMP must work in SNMPv3 ??

I was having the exact same problem as Boyd on a previous post. Running snmpwalk from a remote server worked fine for all of the OID's that Cacti was requesting. In the Cacti query, the File Systems and Page Volumes worked fine, but the Physical Volumes and Volume Groups returned 0 rows in the verbose listing.

The problem was that the SNMP Timeout was too short. The default of 500ms on a host is way too quick for my loaded P5's to return the disk info. (Took around 4 seconds) I upped the value to 10 seconds (10000ms) and it seems to work fine!

Hope this helps anyone pulling their hair out. (Tony -- maybe include a README file in your template zip with a few hints? Maybe it'll help people from needing to read through 7 pages of forum chatter)

....
.1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.191.6.2.1.1.15 = INTEGER: 15

So this all seems to be working ok. But in Cacti reports smtp error. And all the data queries report no data returned.

For an AIX 5.3.8 target host, querying "native" SNMPD, Cacti is throwing these errors:
========================================

I get apparently valid results from an snmpwalk query (v1). Anybody experience this?

ok, looks like the aix scripts in /resource/snmp_queries were missing. I added them (aix_{fs,vg,page,disk}.xml).

Now: it looks like the OIDs in the script don't match anything being returned by the snmpwalk query.

AIX Version?

These templates where developed on AIX 5.2 and 5.3.

AIX 5.3.8.

Is there a generic debug procedure posted on this site?

EDIT: Found one here.

Hi Guru Masters,

I would like to request for your help. Is it ok if you can post the template here for AIX 5.2. (the latest). Thanks... I can monitor my AIX 5.2. but there are no graphs being created, only network traffice and process are being graphd.

I'm currently using the default HOST SNMP Enabled template of CACTI.

thanks so much...
