Graph Interface Description

Post by Frank42 »

Hello,

I am trying to monitor HP 5120 Switches. Everything is fine but the graph titles are wrong. Every interface is titled with "GigabitEthernet". I have tried every pre-defined data variables and nothing works.
3com 4500 Switches graphs are correctly titled with "Gigabit1/0/xx". Does anyone have a similiar Problem?

Regards,

Frank

HI,

you can try a verbose query and check whether there is a field that mathes your requirements.

Hi,

I have tried a verbose query. This gives me the correct value "+ Found item [ifDescr='GigabitEthernet2/0/1'] index: 4 [from value]". But in the Graph is only "GigabitEthernet". This makes me crazy! :-(

When I click "Create Graphs for this Host", there are the correct labels. But not in the created graph. :-(

2 things to try.

Goto
Console >> Settings >> Visual >> Maximum Title Length. Change that to 100 (or higher)

If that doesn't work, goto
Console >> Data Queries >> SNMP - Interface Statistics >> In/Out Bits (64-bit Counters)
and change the order of
Suggested Values - Graph Names
to fit your liking.

Hi cigamit,

yee haw!!! :D You make my day!

"Settings -> Visual -> Data Sources -> Maximum Title Length": The original Lenght was 15 characters, GigabitEthernet3/0/35 = 21 characters. I change it to 30 and everything is fine! :-)
