Cisco SFP (with DOM) Optical value plugin v0.2.3 + 0.2.4b

[FirstLast]

Hi all,

sorry about delay.

I am having hard time importing newest XML, get "Error: XML: Hash version does not exist."
when trying to import latest "cacti_graph_template_cisco_-_sfp_statistics_dbm.xml"

I didn't mention running an older Cacti version 0.8.7e.

In any case, I don't think this would work for me because of the fact that query used to determine which interfaces have sensors ( .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.91.1.1.1.1.1 ) simply does not return = 14 for any of my int Gi8/0/? or Gi9/0/? which are 7600-SIP-600 / SPA-5X1GE-V2 ports, so it doesn't see them as DOM capable to begin with.

Using command line, I can get readings using sub-slot syntax, i.e. show hw-module subslot 8/0 tr 0 status, but even when I run full query on 6509 chassis and grep for terms of interest, only results I get are some "transceiver containers" and I was not able to drill any further using their IDs. Example :

iso.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.2.6091 = STRING: "subslot 8/0 transceiver container 0"
iso.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.2.6103 = STRING: "subslot 8/0 transceiver container 1"
iso.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.2.6104 = STRING: "GE T"
iso.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.2.6105 = STRING: "GigEther SPA"
iso.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.2.6115 = STRING: "subslot 8/0 transceiver container 2"
iso.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.2.6127 = STRING: "subslot 8/0 transceiver container 3"
iso.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.2.6139 = STRING: "subslot 8/0 transceiver container 4"

Below are exact cards I have and IOS I run. All SFPs I want to read are in either 8 or 9

Cacti implements a version check on templates, so that they are compatible with whatever functions are used for that specific version of Cacti, if i used something thats available in 087f, it might not be available in 087e. I suggest that you upgrade your Cacti to a newer version, be sure to back the old one up!
There is also a way to change the hash in the template to an older version, youll have to search the forum, but again, stuff might not work.

Regarding SPA-ports, sodium was going to look into that.
Edit: Actually, i think we are using the SPA-2X1GE-V2 in our ASR1002s and the SPA-5X1GE-V2 in our ASR1006. My test graphs for the script where only tested on the ASR1002. Since its an ASR we are using some IOS XE version. Maybe there is a difference from IOS XE and the regular ones?
At this point, i have no idea why its not working for your SPA-devices, sorry

I also got this error:

+ Error parsing XML file into an array.

by looking at the web server error log /var/log/apache2/error.log, it turned out to be a trivial file permission problem: both cisco_sfp.xml and ss_65xx_sfp.php
need to be readable by the web server user (or everybody, chmod +r).

after fixing that, everything works with sodium's 2.4

Hello everybody

Firstly thanks sodium for the plugin.

Unfortunately the script assumes that the indexes of Tx and Rx sensor are sequential. This is not true for at least Cisco 4900M switch which I have to monitor. So I rewrote this plugin to better cope with various Cisco models. The assumption in my version of the script is that the sensor names are built so:

<interface name> [Receive |Transmit] Power Sensor

For data source index I'm returning the indexes of both Tx and Rx sensors. So if you want to update to my script you will have to reindex DOM data query on all devices.

[rps64]

Reworked matej's edition to support IOS XR power sensors. Definitely works on ASR9k(4.2.x) and 7600(12.2SR-15.2S), but should work on 4500's too (i don't have it to test).

Thanks a million.. I get an unmet dependency though on importing :

I've changed php script only and didn't touched any other files including import xml's. So i have no idea what's wrong with your config, sorry.
My system is: 0.8.8a from freebsd ports, php 5.4.4, imported matej_v's variant (0.3.0) without problems.

Thanks for the reply. I got it working, but it doesn't seem to pull the right values out of the optics.
I got an optic in TenGigE0/0/2/1 which does give DOM output with "show controllers tenGigE 0/0/2/1 phy".

Code: Select all

        Temperature: 40.941
        Voltage: 3.231 Volt

        Rx Power:  0.830 mW (-0.81 dBm)

Thanks for the reply. I got it working, but it doesn't seem to pull the right values out of the optics.

What do you mean by "right values"? Did you create DOM graphics in "Create Graphs for this Host" at upper right of the device info screen? If so, what is the difference in values?

I got an optic in TenGigE0/0/2/1 which does give DOM output with "show controllers tenGigE 0/0/2/1 phy".

Debug output looks right.
IOS XR version?
Try to exec:
php -q /usr/share/cacti/scripts/ss_cisco_sfp_dom.php host snmp-community 2 get rx 29234194.46010283
php -q /usr/share/cacti/scripts/ss_cisco_sfp_dom.php host snmp-community 2 get tx 29234194.46010283

I have applied this to c65xx in my network, works beautiful....however 4506-E gave me some errors (see attachment). Any ideas?

[rps64]

While i don't have true 4500 in my hands, but only 4948, which is merely compatible and i have no knowledge about DOM-enabled transceivers other than 10G, this is simple patch.
Also note, that for 4500 with ancient version of IOS DOM is unsupported.

I did create the graphs, but i only get -40 values out of above script output.
I am running XR version 4.3 on the box and DOM seems to work pretty fine on the box itself. Can you help me debug this more low-level?

[mastrboy]

Has anyone been able to graph standby interfaces with IOS XE and VSS?

We have 2x 4500-X switches configured in VSS and the data query for Cisco - Optical Power (DOM) only detects interfaces for the active switch.
This is working just fine with 2x 6509 (SUP720) in VSS...

I have much the same problem. I'm using version 0.4.0 - I had to hack the hash to get it to import into Cacti 0.8.7e; it imported fine except for the missing dependency (see screenshot attached).

The data query executes fine and finds the right OIDs etc. But the graphs are just plotting -40 for Tx and Rx regardless.

I edited cisco_sfp_dom.xml and changed the <direction> tags for TX Power and RX power to "input" and re-ran the data query to see what Cacti's seeing. The values returned fine (see attached) - the middle SFP is offline so the -40 values there are correct.

Any ideas why the script seems OK, but -40 is being plotted on the graphs?
