Take a peek at my XML?

Hey i'm trying to learn all about this wonderfull program but i'm having some issues with getting my own query to run can someone take a peak at my XML file for starters and see if thats where the problem starts?

it maybe usefull if you tell us the error shown by cacti.

Well when I create the device and try to add the graphs this is what I get.

[uber1337one]

Well those are supposed to be in reverse order. LOL sorry bouts that.

First, I don't see why you are using a data query for this... Aren't the toner values fixed OID's?

Data queries and the XML you are using, for data queries, are only used when you have a list of things you want to select from to graph.

The reason for the errors, other than you shouldn't use a data query, but a graph template for this, is that you are missing an important field type of "output", which is needed to generate a list of information.

What I suggest, is you ditch the data query, you don't need it and you go with a graph template/data template combination.

right, no query needed..

but there is a failure in your xml, because there are 2 lines instead of one shown. Guess you do 2 walks for your input fields in your xml instead of one walk and a get.

Post your xml an we'll see.

SCNR: Guess you don't have 2 toners in your printer

Incorrect, it's doing exactly what it should do for how he has it configured. It's is fruitless to continue to even look at the XML file, as it has no purpose for the metrics he is attempting to graph.

Ok now i'm confused, I thought ok i'm going at this too hard i just need to make a host use a generic OID template and give it the OID of the toner available. I did all this and it makes a graph but always comes back as 0.... if I snmpwalk that oid i get a value back.


monitor ~ # snmpwalk -v1 -cdandelions 10.0.6.1 .1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.1.9.1.1
SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.43.11.1.1.9.1.1 = INTEGER: 11280

I set the OID template as a guage and a counter both ways return a 0

Export your toner template, with dependancies, and post the resulting XML as an attachment here.

I didn't make a template as of yet, I was trying to go the simple way and just used the out of the box generic OID template and gave it the proper OID for the toner.
