(Solved) Monitor Citrix Licenses with Cacti

[haraldok]

Anyone know a way to monitor Citrix license usage from Cacti? Cacti 0.8.7 c , running cmd.php as poller. Citrix Access Gateway 4.x got the OID .1.3.6.1.4.1.3845.20.1.15.0 for installed licenses, OID .1.3.6.1.4.1.3845.20.1.16.0 for used licenses, and OID .1.3.6.1.4.1.3845.20.1.18.0 for available licenses according to this: http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX119798

Well, the quickest way would be to use the SNMP - Generic OID Template Data and Graph Templates.

If you can tell me how, i would be very happy. How do i get Cacti to query the host with these OID's?

[haraldok]

I have tried this SNMP query:

<interface>
<name>Citrix Licenses</name>
<oid_index>.1.3.6.1.2.1</oid_index>


<fields>
<InstalledLicenses>
<name>Index</name>
<method>walk</method>
<source>value</source>
<direction>input</direction>
<oid>.1.3.6.1.4.1.3845.20.1.15.0</oid>
</InstalledLicenses>
<UsedLicenses>
<name>Number</name>
<method>walk</method>
<source>value</source>
<direction>input</direction>
<oid>.1.3.6.1.4.1.3845.20.1.16.0</oid>
</UsedLicenses>
<AvailableLicenses>
<name>Status</name>
<method>walk</method>
<source>value</source>
<direction>input</direction>
<oid>.1.3.6.1.4.1.3845.20.1.18.0</oid>
</AvailableLicenses>

</fields>
</interface>

But i get Status "Success [0 Items, 0 Rows]" and if i click "verbose query" i get :
+ Located input field 'InstalledLicenses' [walk]
+ Executing SNMP walk for data @ '.1.3.6.1.4.1.3845.20.1.15.0'
+ Located input field 'UsedLicenses' [walk]
+ Executing SNMP walk for data @ '.1.3.6.1.4.1.3845.20.1.16.0'
+ Located input field 'AvailableLicenses' [walk]
+ Executing SNMP walk for data @ '.1.3.6.1.4.1.3845.20.1.18.0'

What do i do wrong?

You didn't follow Linegod's suggestion and use the SNMP - Generic OID Template Data and Graph Templates. Read in the documentation site too for addition help.

snmpget those OIDs you want to data from to verify they're functional -- post the results here.

I have got the XML query to run, and i get the data i want:

+ Running data query [22].
+ Found type = '3' [snmp query].

But, no RRD is generated, and i get a "Status - unknown" in devices list. I can ping the host from the Cacti server, but something is obviously not right.

You didn't create the snmp xml script properly. Try something like this. Add the additional fields you need. Post the verbose query of it too:

AccessGateway.xml

Code: Select all

<interface>
	<name>Get Citrix Access Gateway stats</name>
	<description>Access Gateway Enterprise MIB</description>
	<oid_index>.1.3.6.1.4.1.3845.20.1.15</oid_index>
	<oid_index_parse>OID/REGEXP:.*\.([0-9]{1,2})$</oid_index_parse> 
        <index_order>Index</index_order>
        <index_order_type>alphabetic</index_order_type>

	<fields>
		<Index>
                        <name>Index</name>
                        <source>index</source>
                        <direction>input</direction>
		</Index>

		<Licenses>

			<method>walk</method>
			<source>value</source>
			<direction>output</direction>
			<oid>.1.3.6.1.4.1.3845.20.1.15</oid>
		</Licenses>
		<Usedlicenses>
			<name>Usedlicenses</name>
			<method>walk</method>
			<source>value</source>
			<direction>output</direction>
			<oid>.1.3.6.1.4.1.3845.20.1.16</oid>

	</fields>
</interface>

Sorry about the late answer, tried this xml script:

<interface>
<name>Get Citrix Access Gateway stats</name>
<description>Access Gateway Enterprise MIB</description>
<oid_index>.1.3.6.1.4.1.3845.20.1.15</oid_index>
<oid_index_parse>OID/REGEXP:.*\.([0-9]{1,2})$</oid_index_parse>
<index_order>Index</index_order>
<index_order_type>alphabetic</index_order_type>

<fields>
<Index>
<name>Index</name>
<source>index</source>
<direction>input</direction>
</Index>

<Licenses>
<name>Licenser</name>
<method>walk</method>
<source>value</source>
<direction>output</direction>
<oid>.1.3.6.1.4.1.3845.20.1.15</oid>
</Licenses>
<Usedlicenses>
<name>Brukte lisenser</name>
<method>walk</method>
<source>value</source>
<direction>output</direction>
<oid>.1.3.6.1.4.1.3845.20.1.16</oid>
</Usedlicenses>

</fields>
</interface>

The result:

Running data query [22].
+ Found type = '3' [snmp query].
+ Found data query XML file at 'C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/cacti/resource/snmp_queries/cag.xml'
+ XML file parsed ok.

I don't get any rrd file created, so where am i wrong?

[haraldok]

I got it to work, using the following xml query file, i had som errors in my setup of the data query:
