Cisco Environmental Monitoring (Temp, Voltage, Fan, Power)

[tibby]

Hey Guys!

I'm having a weird issue.
I have multiple 4500 series catalyst switches to monitor temepreature.
The config on all of them are the same as far as snmp goes.
When I try to get a temperature graph, some switches can generate the graph, and some of them shows nothing, just the white space.

Inside the log I can see the following:

Code: Select all

CMDPHP: Poller[0] Host[8] DS[242] WARNING: Result from SNMP not valid. Partial Result: U

The host is a switch whitch not generates the graph and the DS is the data source for the temperature.

What is the problem??
Thanks for the help!

I am having trouble with the power supply state. If I run the query, it finds the information, but the graph is not working. I see the header of the graph and that is it. Has anyone else experienced this and if so, how did you fix it?

Yeah, can we get an update that works with 0.8.7g? Thanks!

As explainmed at the 2nd link of my sig, this _may_ show that your target device does not support specific OIDs used by this template. We discovered the same on some of our Cisco Routers.
If I'm correct, this cannot be cured by a template update. You may require an IOS update, or it simply turns out that Cisco does not support that feature anymore.
Again, 2nd link of my sig explains in detail what to do to nail this down. You will have to do that on your own equipment.

What is the problem? An import failure? ATM, I may provide a 087d based version only. Updates to be found at 4th link of my sig, the General Cacti Template Forum

Thanks for the great work. I just read the six pages in the thread, and it seems this problem is a first. Apologies if not so.

I am an old MRTG hand learning Cacti. I imported the latest zip into 0.8.7g getting the "all well" messages.The Fan, Power and Voltage queries all work OK, finding what they should and graphing it too.

The temperature query, when run in debug mode, finds the temperature state in the router properly. However, the rrd files are never created. If I go into console->data source->debug mode, and paste the resulting "rrdtool create" command manually into the shell as the proper user, the rrd file gets created, but is not polled.

I am smelling permissions, but the manually created file not being polled points to something else, perhaps a database inconsistency. If someone has a pointer, please let me know, this one seems harder than my limited Cacti skills can handle.

This sounds more like an RRA setting. Do you have values for "AVERAGE" defined ?

Do me a favour, and post the debug from graph management (for this particular graph) - we'll see what's going on from there.

I pasted the debug below but I am afraid the graph is not even being created. You did not ask, but I also pasted the create command from Console->Data Sources->Debug. Figured it might help. Note that if I manually run the create command, it then creates the file, but not if I leave it to Cacti. Also, if the rrd file is created manually it still will not get updated, with the time tag not changing and no data inserted. I realize this looks a lot like permissions, so I went sudo chmod 777 on the rrd file after creation. No change even with all permissions open.

Maybe someone can make sense of the debug below and see what I am doing wrong. Any chance this particular piece of the template is not compatible with 0.8.7g ?

Thanks for any help.

Bump.

It has been a week since the info was posted, and there were no replies. It would be great if one of the resident gurus could take a look. Thanks!

[ffeijo]

No replies, so I will take the hint and stop asking..

As a PSA for future readers, the Cisco templates in this thread do not seem to be working properly in 0.8.7g.

hi,


this error "ERROR: opening '/var/www/cacti/rra/afs_tempstatval_150.rrd': No such file or directory"

could be caused by permissions on the rra directory. I got the same error, and found that <cacti path>/rra on our system was a sym link to /var/lib/cacti/rra. this directory ownership:group was "cacti:root" . after I correct it to "cacti:cacti" things worked!

cheers -b.
