BGP Data Query, very easy to use

[scottevil]

UPDATE 10/27/2010: Really fixed and tested with version 0.8.7e & 0.8.7g with no patches

This is a data query built for monitoring BGP prefixes in memory, and messages rx/tx. This will auto enumerate all BGP neighbors and allow quick creation of graphs.

Basic docs are included in the tgz file. For more info and other open source tools visit: http://crunchtools.com

Data Query seems to be missing ?

Do you have a sample of what the graphs look like?

Make sure you both have the 0.8.7e patch "Template Import/Export Duplication" installed. It also has a commandline tool that the exporter (aka scottevil) should run /cacti/cli/repair_templates.php which should hopefully fix the issues.

[mcutting]

Never mind, did this myself - here's the corrected templates. I also labeled the templates as "generic", as they fit multiple devices, and not just Cisco.

These templates were exported from 0.8.7e, hence no backport (sorry)

[scottevil]

I don't understand exactly what you had to do to make it work? I exported from my production system, then spun up a brand new instance on another box and imported it no problem?

Thanks

[mcutting]

The data query was missing, and none of the dependencies were set on the graph (in terms of data sources assigned for CURRENT, AVERAGE, MAX etc)

[scottevil]

I assume you mean the first time there was no data query. Now there are some un-assigned fields, that could be because I borrowed the graph template from an older check I wrote a long time ago.

Cool, thanks. I am still kind of a noob with creating these things, I have done for years, but never with any regularity or expertise I just thought this one was too needed to not share.

[scottevil]

So, I finally had a chance to dig into this and understand what you were saying, I have repaired and tested this data query.

Did you repost this ?

I edited the post and updated the version after installing the patch, running the repair command and re-exporting. I tested import with scratch installs. Also, after patching, it still shows those 2 un-met dependancies, but works anyway.

Also, I tried everything to get rid of those un-met deps. I even looked at the XML by hand, nothing looks wrong to me. I suspect there is still some bug in the Cacti import/export code.

Excuse me for my english google traductor

I tested this plugin with the version of scottevil and mcutting. But in both cases, the rrd is not create.
And even creating it manually:

/usr/local/bin/rrdtool create \

RRDTool Says:
OK


the rra is not updated.
Even putting the spine in debug, I failed to find a solution.

cacti 0.8.7g whit & whitout paths.

Merci.

When you do a verbose query for the data query under the device, you should see something like this. I just did this on clean install of 0.8.7e, so it should work in 0.8.7g also. I tested on both version a few months back when I reposted this and it should still work If you don't see data coming back from your router then you might have an snmp version problem or a community string mismatch. When in those situations, I usually use tcpdump to sniff the traffic.
