(SOLVED!) Cisco SAA IPSLA can't get VALUE for Node

Post by Nunnsby »

Hi There

I am struggling to setup a weathermap indicating High-Latency on routers running IPSLA. I have the graphs working fine, but cannot get a VALUE for bandwidth_in on the NODE.

Here is the config on the router (I am using tcp-connect for Application Connections):

Code: Select all

ip sla 12
 tcp-connect 10.1.15.250 3204 source-ip 10.200.170.254 source-port 34022
 threshold 500
 frequency 300
ip sla schedule 12 life forever start-time now
Here is the graph for the Router:
R01-SAA.JPG
R01-SAA.JPG (15.22 KiB) Viewed 3226 times
Here is the config of the NODE itself:

Code: Select all

NODE R01
	LABEL Latency {node:this:bandwidth_in:%d} ms
	INFOURL /cacti/graph.php?rra_id=all&local_graph_id=501
	OVERLIBGRAPH /cacti/graph_image.php?rra_id=0&graph_nolegend=true&graph_height=100&graph_width=300&local_graph_id=501
	TARGET gauge:/var/lib/cacti/rra/228/512.rrd:bandwidth_in:%d
	POSITION 360 240
I am seeing the Label show up as Grey, and a value of 0 appear there. The Grey is representative of 0%, but it never changes. If I remove the :%d from the :bandwidth_in: statement, I get an [UNKNOWN] error.

If I change the value to anything else, :rtt:%d for example, I get an [UNKNOWN] error, which is represetative of the Graph Debug below:

The interesting thing is ... where IS the VALUE coming from as as you see, NO DS's are actually storing values, but the graph is working!

Any help?

So no doubt you looked in cacti.log, where you would see something about unknown DS names, and a list of valid DS names ;-)

TARGET gauge:/var/lib/cacti/rra/228/512.rrd:bandwidth_in:%d
should be
TARGET gauge:/var/lib/cacti/rra/228/512.rrd:rttmax:sumpds
(or any other TWO ds names on the end - and it must be TWO names)
Weathermap 0.98a is out! & QuickTree 1.0. Superlinks is over there now (and built-in to Cacti 1.x).
Some Other Cacti tweaks, including strip-graphs, icons and snmp/netflow stuff.
(Let me know if you have UK DevOps or Network Ops opportunities, too!)

Howie, very good!

So, now, using :rtt:sumpds I am getting the colour! ;-)

But, I am still NOT getting a VALUE in the output on the Label on the NODE itself. Well, I am, just that it is still 0, yet Cacti is reporting a value, in this case 44.

Node Config on Weather Map:

Code: Select all

NODE ENG-ZIM-HO-R01
	LABEL Latency {node:this:rtt:%d} avg
	TARGET gauge:/var/lib/cacti/rra/228/512.rrd:rtt:sumpds
	POSITION 360 240
Output from Debug:

The VALUE 44 at the end is right as that matches my graph.

Any ideas? Is %d right to display the value, or what about %m?

Weathermap output is:

First block below shows errors before I corrected it as above.

This second block show NO errors after I corrected it, so meaning that it "likes" the readings it gets, but just it is NOT inserting the 44!:

the label was correct before:

LABEL Latency {node:this:bandwidth_in:%d} ms
Weathermap 0.98a is out! & QuickTree 1.0. Superlinks is over there now (and built-in to Cacti 1.x).
Some Other Cacti tweaks, including strip-graphs, icons and snmp/netflow stuff.

Hi, I still CAN NOT get the colour to change based on the IP SLA value returned.

I am getting the correct latency values, but I would like the node colour to change based on various latency measurements.

0 = Grey
1 - 400 = Green
401 - 600 = Orange
600 - 10000 = Red (Yes, I actually see over 8000ms sometimes! :( )

The node always stays GREEN!!! Regardless of the latency. 414, or 600+, it is always GREEN!

Here is a copy of the code. If someone can advise, that would be great!

YAY, It's solved!! :D

I added the absolute value and it worked for me.

you can add this under either the individual nodes:

# regular NODEs:
NODE HO-R01
USESCALE CUSTOM in absolute
LABEL Latency {node:this:bandwidth_in:%d} ms

or under the NODE DEFAULT setting:

# default NODE settings:
NODE DEFAULT
USESCALE CUSTOM in absolute

Code: Select all

SCALE CUSTOM 0    0    192 192 192
SCALE CUSTOM 1    400    0 240   0
SCALE CUSTOM 401  600  255 192   0
SCALE CUSTOM 601 10000 255 0 0

SET nowarn_clipping 1

NODE DEFAULT
        %%HERE%%
