Need help monitoring traffic on Cisco RV345

Post by wires10 »

Greetings,

Several years ago I set up Cacti on a SME server box and it was SO easy! Just put in the IP addresses and SNMP strings and all the network interfaces I wanted to monitor magically appeared! Some clicking later I had network traffic graphs running for the RV082 router and 3 Dell 5524 switches on the network. Invaluable information during a time of fighting with the cable company due to their less than wonderful service.

Now I have two sites that are having similar issues and need to show customers where the problem lies. Since I have a few Raspberry Pi units I installed Cacti on one and it came up just fine!

Unfortunately when I put in the IP and SNMP info for the Cisco RV345 router the only items that presented themselves did not include any network interfaces:
1) Cisco - CPU Usage
2) Linux - Memory Usage
3) Unix - Load Average
4) Unix - Logged in Users
5) Unix - Processes
Cacti is graphing those 5 items perfectly! But I'm not as interested in those compared to network traffic!

I did find a thread here SNMP Question / Advice needed that might have some bearing but I don't understand how to implement what is being discussed.

I'd appreciate any help in being able to monitor network traffic on the 2 WAN and 16 LAN ports of the Cisco RV345 router!

TIA!

All except that 1st one are actually local templates (seems that you have the wrong Host Template applied), they are monitoring data for the local Cacti server, not your Cisco device. So the data you are seeing in your graph isn't for your Cisco device. To create traffic graphs, edit the device and scroll down to the part where it says "Add Data Query" and select the "SNMP - Interface Statistics" from the drop down box, and click Add. Then click the "Create Graphs for this Device" link at the top.

Thank you!

That is where the selections were! Such a well written and on-point response to what I'm sure is a obvious noob problem!

I added a bunch and graphs appeared but they contain no data. Since it was late and I'm trying to stay healthy I let it sit overnight just to be sure. Now looking in the logs I see this from when I created the monitors:

03/26/2020 01:50:04 - POLLER: Poller[Main Poller] WARNING: Invalid Response(s), Errors[19] Device[router] Thread[1] DS[router - 5 Minute CPU, router - Traffic, router - Traffic, router - Traffic, router - Traffic, router - Traffic, router - Traffic, router - Traffic, router - Traffic, router - Traffic, router - Traffic, router - Traffic, router - Traffic, router - Traffic, router - Traffic, router - Traffic, router - Traffic, router - Traffic, router - Traffic] Graphs[router - CPU Usage, router - Traffic - LAN9/27, router - Traffic - LAN1/28, router - Traffic - LAN10/29, router - Traffic - LAN2/30, router - Traffic - LAN11/31, router - Traffic - LAN3/32, router - Traffic - LAN12/33, router - Traffic - LAN4/34, router - Traffic - LAN13/35, router - Traffic - LAN5/36, router - Traffic - LAN14/37, router - Traffic - LAN6/38, router - Traffic - LAN15/39, router - Traffic - LAN7/40, router - Traffic - LAN16/41, router - Traffic - LAN8/42, router - Traffic - WAN_PORT1/43, router - Traffic - WAN_PORT2/44]

And this every 5 minutes:

03/26/2020 10:10:05 - POLLER: Poller[Main Poller] WARNING: Invalid Response(s), Errors[1] Device[router] Thread[1] DS[router - 5 Minute CPU] Graphs[router - CPU Usage]
03/26/2020 10:05:05 - SNMPAGENT WARNING: No notification receivers configured for event: cactiNotifyDeviceFailedPoll (CACTI-MIB), severity: medium

Should I delete the devices and try again? Or are there troubleshooting steps to fix the problem?

Turn off the SNMP Agent setting as you're not using it.
