snmpwalk commandline options for custom data query?

Post by anoebis »

Hello all,

I have created a custom data query to get information for Squid into Cacti and this works fine in a small setup (3 clients connected to Squid). However, when using the same query in a large setup (~1000 clients), it only returns 3 or 4 clients. I already found the root cause for this by running snmpwalk manually. Apparently, snmpwalk does not like the fact that the indexes returned by Squid (i.e. the IP addresses of the connected clients) are not increasing. This causes snmpwalk to show partial output:

Code: Select all

$ snmpwalk -v 2c -m /usr/share/squid3/mib.txt -c public localhost:3401 1.3.6.1.4.1.3495 | grep -i cacheClientHttp.*Kb
Error: OID not increasing: SQUID-MIB::cacheClientAddressType.192.168.10.4
 >= SQUID-MIB::cacheClientAddressType.127.0.0.1
No problem here, as it can easily be solved by adding the -Cc-option to snmpwalk:

Code: Select all

$ snmpwalk -v 2c -m /usr/share/squid3/mib.txt -c public localhost:3401 1.3.6.1.4.1.3495 -Cc | grep -i cacheClientHttp.*Kb
SQUID-MIB::cacheClientHttpKb.192.168.10.1 = Counter32: 13100
SQUID-MIB::cacheClientHttpKb.192.168.10.4 = Counter32: 2545
SQUID-MIB::cacheClientHttpKb.127.0.0.1 = Counter32: 13080
SQUID-MIB::cacheClientHTTPHitKb.192.168.10.1 = Counter32: 0
SQUID-MIB::cacheClientHTTPHitKb.192.168.10.4 = Counter32: 0
SQUID-MIB::cacheClientHTTPHitKb.127.0.0.1 = Counter32: 0
So now my question is: how can I tell Cacti to use the -Cc-option when running snmpwalk? Because without this option, my custom data query is rather useless...

Can you post again without the grep?

I don't have a solution, just curious about the problem.

You can do so by editing lib/snmp.php. Search for the snmp* commands and you will know what to do ...
This won't change things for spine, unfortunately ... so only cmd.php will work then

@gandalf: thanks for the suggestion, I will look into it. Right now I'm not using spine (yet), though I might consider doing so in the future (once I've added a lot more hosts to my Cacti-installation).

Is this some kind of bug that might be fixed in a future version of Cacti (e.g. by adding the possibility to enable snmpwalks -Cc-option in Cacti's preferences)?

Well, in fact that's some C constant that has to be added, if I remember correctly. So no rocket sience here. But that has to be changed, that's for sure.

I'm not sure if that mantis ticket has been entered already. Then, you may add your +1; else create it. That will definitively increase the chance to have it sooner or later

Apparently, the bug has already been reported a couple of months ago (#0002225: Make -Cc SNMP option configurable (system wide or per device). I'll add my comments to that bug.

Yep, saw it. Perhaps I'll include that in 089

I have the same problem

I changed /var/www/html/lib/snmp.php with -Cc, but doesn´t work
if (read_config_option("snmp_version") == "ucd-snmp") {
/* escape the command to be executed and vulnerable parameters
* numeric parameters are not subject to command injection
* snmp_auth is treated seperately, see above */
$temp_array = exec_into_array(cacti_escapeshellcmd(read_config_option("path_snmpwalk")) . " -v$version -t $timeout -r $retries " . cacti_escapeshellarg($hostname) . ":$port $snmp_auth " . cacti_escapeshellarg($oid));
}else {
if (file_exists($path_snmpbulkwalk) && ($version > 1) && ($max_oids > 1)) {
$temp_array = exec_into_array(cacti_escapeshellcmd($path_snmpbulkwalk) . " -O Qn $snmp_auth -v $version -t $timeout -Cc -r $retries -Cr$max_oids " . cacti_escapeshellarg($hostname) . ":$port " . cacti_escapeshellarg($oid));
}else{
$temp_array = exec_into_array(cacti_escapeshellcmd(read_config_option("path_snmpwalk")) . " -O Qn $snmp_auth -v $version -t $timeout -Cc -r $retries " . cacti_escapeshellarg($hostname) . ":$port " . cacti_escapeshellarg($oid));
}
}
this is my conf:
