SNMP Data Query with regex processing

[RaduAlexandru]

Hello!
I was wondering if anyone could help me with a issue I have with a snmp data query.

I attempted to make my own graphs for a qnap device, using this (somewhat dated) tutorial: https://docs.cacti.net/manual:100:3a_ad ... alkthrough
I did manage to make another graph template for the fans, but for the hdd temps I kind of hit an wall... I get strange data back and I can't figure out why.

I pasted here snmptable output:

Code: Select all

user@host:~$ snmptable -m ALL -v2c -c public 10.1.0.10 .1.3.6.1.4.1.24681.1.2.11
Bad operator (INTEGER): At line 73 in /usr/share/snmp/mibs/ietf/SNMPv2-PDU
SNMP table: NAS-MIB::systemHdTable

 hdIndex hdDescr hdTemperature hdStatus              hdModel hdCapacity hdSmartInfo
       1  "HDD1"   "-- C/-- F"   noDisk                 "--"       "--"        "--"
       2  "HDD2"   "-- C/-- F"   noDisk                 "--"       "--"        "--"
       3  "HDD3"   "-- C/-- F"   noDisk                 "--"       "--"        "--"
       4  "HDD4"   "-- C/-- F"   noDisk                 "--"       "--"        "--"
       5  "HDD5"   "29 C/84 F"    ready "WD2002FFSX-68PF8N0"  "1.82 TB"      "GOOD"
       6  "HDD6"   "29 C/84 F"    ready "WD2002FFSX-68PF8N0"  "1.82 TB"      "GOOD"
       7  "HDD7"   "29 C/84 F"    ready "WD2002FFSX-68PF8N0"  "1.82 TB"      "GOOD"
       8  "HDD8"   "28 C/82 F"    ready "WD2002FFSX-68PF8N0"  "1.82 TB"      "GOOD"

And yet my graphs show temperatures between 2.8k an 3.0k (yes, 3000 degrees Celsius). I can't figure out what I did wrong...


This is my snmp data query xml

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Did you make sure it was set to SNMP Indexed?

[RaduAlexandru]

Unfortunately yes...


The odd part is I don't think cmd.php cares about the REGEXP at all.

As you can see above, the regex is working, but cmd.php never seems to call the functions that deal with REXGEXP parsing.
As far as I can tell, the function that does the REGEXP parsing is query_snmp_host from <cacti_root>/lib/data_query.php, but cmd.php never includes that.
Also, tracing execution of cmd.php, seems that all it does is call cacti_snmp_session_get from <cacti_root>/lib/snmp.php, which in turn calls format_snmp_string, and that is where a number is expected as a result, thus all non digit characters are just stripped.

For now I'm using a hack, a CDEF function

Code: Select all

CURRENT_DATA_SOURCE,10000,LT,CURRENT_DATA_SOURCE,100,/,FLOOR,CURRENT_DATA_SOURCE,1000,/,FLOOR,IF

But I find this to be a little tacky.


Thank you in advance for any further assistance.

Can you export your template and XML file and upload them here. I have a QNAP here I can probably test this against.

[RaduAlexandru]

I attached the zip

[RaduAlexandru]

I apologize for being impatient and a nag (and for double posting), but have you had time to take a look at it?

[Rno]

I'm not sure you can do that:
<direction>input-output</direction>

it's either an output or a input, not both

Usually index use input, data use output

That's used in <cacti_root>/resource/snmp_queries/interface.xml for ifOperStatus and ifAdminStatus. As far as I recall I took that from the docs, but I can't seem to find the page where I saw it.

[netniV]

input-output is a valid field type, but it's not really well documented at the moment. Unfortunately, due to other circumstances, I haven't had a chance to test this at the office. Too many things occurring that have taken priority.
