Getting hrMemorySize

Post by cyberconte »

I'm trying to get HOST_RESOURCES-MIB::hrMemorySize (.1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.2.0) from a net-snmp system on a machine with >4G ram (hence, trying to not use memTotalReal)

hrMemorySize returns the memory count in KB, but i've run into the problem that the units are returned with the integer (i.e. "123456 KBytes"), so the cacti log is full of "WARNING: Result from SNMP not valid. Partial Result: 123456 KBytes", and nothing is getting recorded

How can i get cacti working so that it will use the number?

Currently the regex querys are only allowed for input, not output. So, that being the case you'd have to use a perl script to query the host and parse out the kybtes.

you could also try the updated functions.php file from here, which should also remove the extra characters being returned.

For those wondering, I'm still here, but lost in the shadows. Yearning for less bugs. Who want's a Cacti 1.3/2.0? Streams anyone?
