Index problem

Post by majlsfiles »

I'm trying to write an XML file that walks through specific oid and writes an output, nothing complicated.

My XML file looks like this:
<fields>
<DMM_Valovna>
<name>DMM_Valovna</name>
<method>walk</method>
<source>value</source>
<direction>input</direction>
<oid>.1.3.6.1.4.1.4253.1.28.3.1.9.1.1</oid>
</DMM_Valovna>
<DMM_TX>
<name>TX_Power_6</name>
<method>walk</method>
<source>value</source>
<direction>output</direction>
<oid>.1.3.6.1.4.1.4253.2.1.24.4.1.10.1.1</oid>
</DMM_TX>
<DMM_RX>
<name>RX_Power_6</name>
<method>walk</method>
<source>value</source>
<direction>output</direction>
<oid>.1.3.6.1.4.1.4253.1.28.3.1.10.1.1</oid>
</DMM_RX>
</fields>

An OUTPUT is this:

+ Found item [DMM_Valovna='1470.00'] index: 1 [from value]
+ Found item [DMM_Valovna='1310.00'] index: 2 [from value]
+ Found item [DMM_Valovna='1310.00'] index: 3 [from value]
+ Found item [DMM_Valovna='1590.00'] index: 1 [from value]
+ Found item [DMM_Valovna='1310.00'] index: 2 [from value]
+ Found item [DMM_Valovna='850.00'] index: 3 [from value]

My problem is that index goes from 1-3 and cacti normally acts as index=1 for 1470 and index=1 for 1590 are same interfaces but actually these should all be different interfaces.

What should I modify if I want to get 6 rows to be drawn and not 3?

You need to provide a walk of the table for anyone to provide any further assistance. My guess is that you will have to use OID parsing.

Here is an output of walk. Hope it helps.

I did try with this:

<interface>
<name>WDM Kartice</name>
<index_order_type>numeric</index_order_type>
<oid_index>.1.3.6.1.4.1.4253.2.1.24.4.1.10.1.1</oid_index>
<oid_index_parse>OID/REGEXP:^.*\.([0-9]+\.[0-9]+)$</oid_index_parse>

<fields>
<DMM_Valovna>
<name>DMM_Valovna</name>
<method>walk</method>
<source>value</source>
<direction>input</direction>
<oid>.1.3.6.1.4.1.4253.1.28.3.1.9.1.1.6</oid>
</DMM_Valovna>
<DMM_TX>
<name>TX_Power</name>
<method>walk</method>
<source>value</source>
<direction>output</direction>
<oid>.1.3.6.1.4.1.4253.2.1.24.4.1.10.1.1.6</oid>
</DMM_TX>
</fields>
</interface>

When i did a debug on this, i saw that index was set to last two oid numbers (example 6.1, 6.2) which looks good, but when I wanted to create a graph it did not create one.

Well, the index needs to be unique, and in your first example I saw a few "1"'s as indexes and then "2"'s and "3"'s. Not a good index for sure. You will figure it out I am sure.
