Force10 Interface Stats problem

Post by aarc51 »

I'm new to Cacti so excuse the ignorance. I'm succesfully graphing a number of interfaces on Cisco devices but I'm unable to graph Force10 interfaces.

Also, the Data Query results for Force10 look weird:

When Cisco looks like this:

Here's a debug of the attempted graphing:

Code: Select all

RRDTool Command:

f:/rrdtool/rrdtool.exe graph - \

RRDTool Says:

ERROR: opening 'F:/wwwroot/cacti/rra/cc2rt3a_traffic_in_104.rrd': No such file or directory
^ I don't get this error when graphing Cisco devices...

Does the Force10 really have hundreds of interfaces?

Post the verbose query of the snmp interface -- either from cacti or an snmpwalk against the Force10.

Also useful to follow: http://docs.cacti.net/manual:087:4_help ... #debugging

Yeah it has 998 interfaces. Verbose query returns a blank page. The CPU doesn't seem to go over 30% during the query though. Maybe there's just too many interfaces for Cacti to handle?

Looks like it's graphing the CPU fine on the Force10:

Working on the SNMP walk and debugging...

So I walked the device and everything appears to be in there properly - including the ifAliases that aren't appearing in my screen shot.

It's definitely related to the amount of ports I'm adding. I just added a Force10 E600, which has considerably less port density, and was able to graph ports without issue.

I misspoke earlier, the device has 1,178 ports - not 998.

After reading leoutskot's sticky, http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?t=10396 , I decided to try SNMPV2 and it Cacti was able to index the device properly.
