Cisco T1 Controller Counters

Has anyone successfully graphed Cisco T1 controller stats such as slip seconds, errored seconds, unavailable seconds, line code violations, path code violations, etc?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Anyone find a way to do this yet?

Find out how to pull the data from Cisco. Next, read in the documentation site how to create the scripts/templates.

I don't seen anything specific in the documentation on how to actually create the needed XML files. Where did I miss this step?

OK, I've built the XML file and am starting to see some results when I run a verbose query against one of my hosts (see attached). It appears to be indexing the two T1 controllers and the requested statistic OIDs properly, but always appends "Found data query XML file at 'C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/cacti/resource/snmp_queries/cisco_ds1.xml'" three times at the end of the query (see screen cap). Is this expected behavior or did I miss something in the XML file?

Also, if I run the verbose query and then "Create Graphs for this Host" everything looks about right except each column of stats is not in line with the corresponding controller index number (see screen cap). Is there something missing from the XML file that is causing everything to be put on seperate lines?

Sorry, this is my first crack at creating a template from scratch and any help would be appreciated! It looks I'm getting the stats I was looking for but need to get everything formatted properly so I can start generating the graphs.

Thanks in advance!

Oh, here's the XML file I've been playing with.

1) Please post and snmpwalk of .1.3.6.1.2.1.10.18.9.1.1 and .1.3.6.1.2.1.10.18.9.1.2.

2) I assume you want to graph most of those data fields (Errored Seconds, Unavailable Seconds, etc). You need to change the direction field to OUTPUT. Look at \cacti\resource\snmp_queries\interface.xml for an example.

OK, I've changed the direction field to "output" (see attached screen cap). Are the DS1 indexes the only items that should be listed when I do a verbose query and/or create graphs for the host? I just want to make sure I'm on the right track. I had set them to "output" before per the docs but I guess I was expecting to see more than just the DS1 indexes by themselves.

Yes, I want to graph ALL of the stats listed in the original screen cap.

Here's the snmpwalk:

-----------

c:\snmpwalk -v 2c -c blahblah 10.4.10.100 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.18.9.1

SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.18.9.1.1.11 = INTEGER: 11
SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.18.9.1.1.12 = INTEGER: 12
SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.18.9.1.2.11 = Gauge32: 2504
SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.18.9.1.2.12 = Gauge32: 0
SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.18.9.1.3.11 = Gauge32: 0
SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.18.9.1.3.12 = Gauge32: 0
SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.18.9.1.4.11 = Gauge32: 0
SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.18.9.1.4.12 = Gauge32: 0
SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.18.9.1.5.11 = Gauge32: 0
SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.18.9.1.5.12 = Gauge32: 0
SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.18.9.1.6.11 = Gauge32: 2503
SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.18.9.1.6.12 = Gauge32: 0
SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.18.9.1.7.11 = Gauge32: 3
SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.18.9.1.7.12 = Gauge32: 0
SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.18.9.1.8.11 = Gauge32: 0
SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.18.9.1.8.12 = Gauge32: 0
SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.18.9.1.9.11 = Gauge32: 1
SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.18.9.1.9.12 = Gauge32: 0
SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.18.9.1.10.11 = Gauge32: 1
SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.18.9.1.10.12 = Gauge32: 0
SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.18.9.1.11.11 = Gauge32: 0
SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.18.9.1.11.12 = Gauge32: 0

-----------

Here's the list of OIDs I'm trying to query/graph (the ".x" equals the index number of the applicable controller, in this example ".11" and ".12"):

DS1 Controller Index = 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.18.9.1.1
ES = Errored Seconds (1.3.6.1.2.1.10.18.9.1.2.x)
SES = Severely Errored Seconds (1.3.6.1.2.1.10.18.9.1.3.x)
SEFS = Severely Errored Framing Seconds (1.3.6.1.2.1.10.18.9.1.4.x)
UAS = Unavailable Seconds (1.3.6.1.2.1.10.18.9.1.5.x)
CSS = Controlled Slip Seconds (1.3.6.1.2.1.10.18.9.1.6.x)
PCV = Path Code Violations (1.3.6.1.2.1.10.18.9.1.7.x)
LES = Line Errored Seconds (1.3.6.1.2.1.10.18.9.1.8.x)
BES = Bursty Errored Seconds (1.3.6.1.2.1.10.18.9.1.9.x)
DM = Degraded Minutes (1.3.6.1.2.1.10.18.9.1.10.x)
LCV = Line Code Violations (1.3.6.1.2.1.10.18.9.1.11.x)

Great, you fixed the index / directions stuff. That verbose query in cacti looks correct now. Did you build the data/graph templates yet? Associate them to the Data Query you also created, per the guides?

siouxee · Post by **siouxee** » Thu May 14, 2009 12:36 pm

I'm really close to getting this working. I've built the data/graph templates and everything looks good when I add them to the host. But, I'm not getting any data in the graphs and am getting the attached error about the *.rrd file not existing.

I also noticed that my other *.rrd files for this same host do not have dashes (for example: lkcld08ar01_traffic_in_1996.rrd versus lkc-ld-08-ar01_dsx1totalbess_2442.rrd). Is this a formatting error on my part?

Any idea as to what I'm missing?

Figured out part of the problem with no graphs, forgot to check the box for the associated data template under the data queries config. Now, I get graphs but they all show a current value of "-1".

What am I missing?

Here's what one of my data templates look like. Did I miss something? All other settings below Index Type are not checked or filled in with any values.

siouxee · Post by **siouxee** » Fri May 15, 2009 1:09 am

Here's what the associated graph template looks like...

And, here are the errors in the Cacti system log and the corresponding data source debug... Any suggestions? I really don't see what is broken here.
