For the benefit of the forum,

After much struggle i created a SNR template for both RX/upstream.

You might find this useful, HOWEVER i had difficulties working with ipstatsentry and didnt work :( May be am missing something - will continue working on this though.

See attached.

The attached are the template to help you achieve that.

Place DOWNSNR- rename to .xml (both files) and possibly rename the file since its contains oid for down and up.

Import the other file in cacti the normal way - "import template" and you are home.

Asanteni.

Many thanks Thuo - I got your SNR working fine - just have to manually create the Data Template after putting the downsnr.xml in the cacti\resources directory.

I am still tweaking my IPSTATS graphs - soon as I have the working well I will post all the bits.

Update - had success with getting the following stats working clean
Celsius Temp, TX Power, RX Power (dont use it though), latency, Hub TX Bytes, Hub TX Errors, Hub RX Bytes.

Still having trouble getting the CDEF - Total All Data Sources working correctly. Wondering if someone can get my config.

Attached screenshots for reference - the data sources are working correctly - its just the SUM that is not adding up properly.

---could not attach for error

Hi Morya,

I am stuck on the CDEF for Totalling per direction.

Are you using a Custom CDEF with something like - Total_ALL_Similiar_Data_Sources ?

I have tried a few different ones to no luck....

Hello--

I have able to get all details ( IP state, down C/N, up C/N, tx power and status from NMS for TDMA network but have some difficulties to get the same for iSCPC links. Any one have any idea how to get that.

Hi Lipian,

What version of the NMS are you using---it all depends on what variables they have made available for the SNMiP traps.

I did not see anything SCPC specific in the SNMP MIB tables apart from this one

iDirectMIB.iDirectObjects.idirectstats.rem
otestatusTable.remotestatusEntry.scpcerror
.1.3.6.1.4.1.13732.1.4.3.1.10 Counter Total SCPC errors

assuming that is not what you need...?

Hey CCNAJ,

No matter how i try this - cdef, doesnt work. Have really scratched my head for this... Totaling is a real pain here for some reason...

Kindly upload your template, have really struggled with ipstats table to do as you did.
Thanks alot - looks great.

You could also send the template to my inbox - wthusi@yahoo.com

I managed to do for TX power/cn(s)/snr etc though :)
