iDirect(VSAT) network using cacti as NMS

[VVOIP1]

Hi All,

After sometime working on these templates, i think i can release to benefit all.

There is;
Host,
data,
graph, and
data query templates for each of the below;

SNR
POWER
LINECARDS
RX TRAFFIC
TX TRAFFIC

Hope you enjoy.....

Hi Thuo (I name you as star !!!)

Its really nice work. everything its working fine but not Linecards and HUB TX power.

Do We want to run SNMP version 3 here? because data query xml looks like V3, please anybody clarify this

thanks

I use V2 - Until recently i have problem with the cacti version - 0.87h - my tx power doesnt work since and wont go back to older versions.

However, the Linecard works well.

Thuo Wilson.

What is your Cacti Log file reporting around these times with Gaps?

And one more thing,

Its hard to extract those idirect mib file and interpret them, so i made work easier for you...

With this you will not struggle much - if you know how to.

Place it in the resources/snmp_queries folder and call it using data query. Better still extract and create a separate .xml file for each of the queries you may intend to make.

EG , temp, snr, rx, tx , power, etc etc.

Thuo Wilson.

Nice work Thuo - cant wait to get back to the office and try it out .

I fiddled with most of these values -- pretty much the only ones worth monitoring are the ones we have down already.

Cheers J

Hi Thuo,

Can you upload the data query template for HUB tx power and Linecards again please?

because the cacti_data_query_idirect_hub_tx-power.xml not working for me. even i have changed to 0.8.7g

thanks

First, try to see if you get anything here;

snmpwalk -c public -v 1 -On ip-address .1.3.6.1.4.1.13732.1.4.3.1.3

Hi Thuo,

Hi Team,

I will appreciate if someone can make a nice documentation of how to plot iDirect graphs. It should show step by step after cacti installation. This will resolve the doubts as it is making difficult to understand.

Thanks & Regards,

Sorry, but this is a custom template. So the author or an interested reader with access to such devices is in charge ...
But in most cases, it should be enough to study 1st link of my sig. All generic descriptions are in
R.

Hello CCNAj

I tried to use the attached templates to retrieve the Modems IP Traffic, RF C/N but not success can help me?

Dear Team,

Can any one do a favor and attach the CDEF for iDIRECT IP Stats

Hello CCNAj

Hany

Hi Hany,

Just checking you have access to the NMS? as you cannot pull any SNMP data off the modems directly...only through the NMS.

The CDEF that Thuo detailed above is the correct one to use to aggregate the traffic types or you can stack it like I did.

Hi,

Does anyone having SAT Traffic template?

Also my TX Power graph is not working. Any idea?

Thanks & Regards,
