Cisco interface operational status monitor

[ch3i]

Hi,

I've modified the graph template with a CDEF to have status like that :
UP > 1
Down > 0

I've applied that CDEF :

Code: Select all

cdef=CURRENT_DATA_SOURCE,-1,*,2,+

[Atreides]

I have CentOS 6.4, cacti-0.8.8b

I only changed the lib/snmp.php to look like this:

Code: Select all

define("REGEXP_SNMP_TRIM", "/(hex|counter(32|64)|gauge|gauge(32|64)|float|ipaddress|string|integer):|(up|down|dormant|testing|notpresent)\(|\)$/i");

Note that I also included dormant;testing and notpresent. We use the status "dormant" to see if a router is using the celular interface or not. If it is, the status becomes 5, THOLD gives us a warning. See Cisco page: http://tools.cisco.com/Support/SNMP/do/ ... .1.2.2.1.8

Make sure to change the comment field in the graph template "Interface - Status" to read "(1=Up | 2=Down | 3=Testing | 4=Unknown | 5=Dormant | 6=notPresent)"

The graph works perfect. Also in preview mode.

Hi,
Anyone knows if there's a way to get a different value for admin down vs down. Right now I get a "2" no matter if the interface is down or if its in admin down status.

Admin status comes from a different OID (I think it's .9 instead of .8 at the end)

I had the same problem before but the problem is solved now. I googled a lot and seems they all didn't solve my problem.once I replaced cmd.php with spine then everything goes fine.

and I can show you guys some of my configuration then you can compare with yours.
1. vim /var/www/html/cacti/resource/snmp_queries/interface.xml
<ifOperStatus>
<name>Status</name>
<method>walk</method>
<source>value</source>
<direction>input</direction>
<oid>.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.8</oid>
</ifOperStatus>
2.vim /etc/php.d/snmp.ini
extension=snmp.so

Hi there,

Does anyone have the same issue as me? Please see the pictures... Not sure why it's doing that... How do I fix something like that?

Anyone with any suggestions?

Thanks..

[Howie]

Maybe you have your status RRA configured as a COUNTER instead of a GAUGE?

Then, when the value goes from 2 to 1, Cacti has to assume that it went all the way to the maximum, and then back around to 1, because counters only ever go up.

Not sure about the second graph...

Hey Howie,

Good to hear from you again... How abouts do I go and change from COUNTER to GAUGE for the RRA?

[Howie]

Hey Howie,

Good to hear from you again... How abouts do I go and change from COUNTER to GAUGE for the RRA?

For an existing datasource, I'm not sure. I believe you use the rrdtune tool that comes with RRDtool. Have you confirmed that this is the issue?

[aftershocks]

I've confirmed that it's on GAUGE...

[Howie]

Can you also confirm the OID? The top one looks more like uptime, and the bottom one looks more like traffic.

[aftershocks]

.. Still doesn't work..

[aftershocks]

My mistake.. I'm tyring to graph other vendors besides cisco.. Maybe that's why it's throwing the results off...

I tested on Cisco and it works.. I did an snmpwalk on juniper and other vendors and timed out.. So I'm guessing there is no way of telling the operational status of non-cisco device in cacti? Unless I modify the OID in interface.xml to suit each vendor?

[Howie]

This is not cisco specific. IF-MIB is an IETF standard...

[aftershocks]

I started from scratch as I couldn't fix it before and it was graphing the interface status properly... It was working fine for the longest time...

A day ago, it started to graph the interface status all weird again... Any clue why this is happening? Nothing was touched...

[aftershocks]

Check it out... It seems like any interface status graphs that I create moving forward is all going to be messed up... It's reading 45.01M... What is happening?

It's like it's graphing traffic and not the proper interface status state...
