BIND 9 Statistics for Cacti

[razvanu]

This has not just something to do with increasing the amount of OIDs per snmpwalk but rather with the snmp timeout configuration variable. Simply increase the timeout value within your host configuration from 500ms to several seconds and you're set.

thanks....it's working now

i have bind 9.6.1 and cacti 0.8.7d

Anyone having the "No SNMP Data" problem with the "SNMP"-based configuration, running bind 9.6.1 on a solaris 10 box, and cacti on Linux, may want to take look at this post:

I was having a problem on Ubuntu Server 9.10, where the snmpd.conf line

pass .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.55 /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/bind9-stats-snmpd.pl

didn't appear to add the .55 OIDs.

I corrected this by issuing the following command as root (This command is listed in the comments section of bind9-stats-snmpd.pl, on line 17)

cpan SNMP::Extension::PassPersist

I had to answer several questions, just hit (enter) for the defaults, and restarted snmpd.

I hope this helps someone.

I am in the process of building an new Debian DNS server and I have installed Debian 5.0, BIND 6.5.1 and I am trying to set it up so Cacti can monitor BIND.

I have been using this script successfully on Debian 4.0 and BIND 6.4.3, but want to start using more up to date versions.

Everything works well except when I try to run the bind9-stats-snmpd.pl and I get the following error

Code: Select all

I understand that the CPAN SNMP::Extension::PassPersist is required but I can not see how to install it for Debian 5.0

Any assistance would be appreciated.

RRDTool Says:

OK

I am not sure what the problem is, it almost seems that my stats file isn't being parsed correctly, but I don't know, just a hunch.

my cron job is running every 5 minutes successfully and creating my named_stats.txt file. There is data in it and I only have 2 zones, but I am not sure what isn't working at this point.
I am running bind 9.3.3 in a chroot jail. I have suspicions that this could be causing some sort of issue, but I can't confirm that as I don't know enough about the permissions and other aspects of these scripts.
I am using the 2.0 version a few pages behind this one.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. It feels like I am really close. Thanks a ton.

Dear All,

I have a problem with bind 9 statistic query. I canot get the graphs, below the data query debug information :

+ Running data query [12].
+ Found type = '3' [snmp query].
+ Found data query XML file at '/usr/share/cacti/resource/snmp_queries/bind9-stats_domains.xml'
+ XML file parsed ok.
+ Executing SNMP walk for list of indexes @ '.1.3.6.1.4.1.8767.2.1.4.1'
+ No SNMP data returned
+ Found data query XML file at '/usr/share/cacti/resource/snmp_queries/bind9-stats_domains.xml'
+ Found data query XML file at '/usr/share/cacti/resource/snmp_queries/bind9-stats_domains.xml'
+ Found data query XML file at '/usr/share/cacti/resource/snmp_queries/bind9-stats_domains.xml'

What should i do ?
Thank you all.

Hello,

I have the same problem that indicated to the third page of this post.

When I make 'rndc stats':
rndc: 'stats' failed: permission denied


My key-rndc is correct (no error messges) and my files /etc/named.conf:

options {
directory "/var/named";
version "No version info available";

#---cacti rndc ---
zone-statistics yes;
statistics-file "/var/named/named.stats";

#-----------


.......

The files in question indicate :


[root@x ~]# stat /var/named/named.stats
File: `/var/named/named.stats'
Size: 0 Blocks: 0 IO Block: 4096 fichier régulier vide

Change: 2010-06-16 20:50:01.000000000 +0200



I have seen several post that indicate that I must change the grant of the file, but I church again how I must do.


I have seen this command but no setsebool installed on my centos.

[root@x ~]# setsebool -P named_disable_trans off
setsebool: SELinux is disabled.


Can you help me, i think that you have the response on your box.

Thanks, regards

This has not just something to do with increasing the amount of OIDs per snmpwalk but rather with the snmp timeout configuration variable. Simply increase the timeout value within your host configuration from 500ms to several seconds and you're set.

Can someone point me to the working template? I see plenty of posts on BIND 9.5 but none of them seems to work for me (I am getting a timeout when executing snmpwalk against the remote BIND server. When I do not specify the OID ".1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.55" I get the results, but no DNS information, of course.
I need to query a remote BIND server via SNMP. Please advise which template works for you (or upload the most recent version one more time).

Thanks a lot.

There you go. The attached version works just fine. Stick to the documentation which can be found within the archive.

Generally it works like this:
1.) Copy the bind9-genstats.sh and the bind9-stats-snmp.pl script on your BIND server.
2.) Alter the bind9-stats-snmp.pl script in line 52 to fit your named.stats file's location
3.) Same with bind9-genstats.sh in line 16.
4.) Create the cronjob which frequently runs bind9-genstats.sh every 5min
5.) Alter your /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf so that it's able to serve the BIND information via the perl script
6.) Restart the SNMP daemon
7.) Do a manual snmpwalk -v2c -c <whather community string you have put in here> IP .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.55 and you should get results. Otherwise you've messed something up in the first place and Cacti won't be able to pull data either.
8.) Integrate the template into Cacti and configure your data sources, graphs and so on via the web-interface.

Possible downfalls could be file or directory permissions, not sufficient rights to run rndc stats or else, but these are the most common.

Best regards,
Mike Adolphs

Hi:
Will that work on Cacti 0.87e and Bind 9.6.1 on Solaris 10?
