Cisco CSS SNMP rosetta stone

Any update on a template for the content switches?
Tried to query some Mibs/Instances and was only partial successful getting some useful information.

Anybody in here working on a template aimed at. Hits, load, summary etc of. content rules (owner)?

Any updates on this topic?

Here are the ones I'm using. I cobbled these together from both posts on the forums here, and my own investigations... I can't remember what thread I found the ones that set me on the right track in - but, props to them.

Could you upload it as a "host template" please. Will be much easier to check out.

Edit: And in which version did you create the template? Im still using 0.8.6g and i hope i can skip updating cacti first.

Hey I just saw this. I don't have time right now but I'll get back to this tomorrow.

These are under 0.8.6h, but I think they should work under 0.8.6g...

Here ya go... warning that of course this includes dependancies, so it may clobber anything of your own. I don't have any custom rrds, but you may want to back things up regardless before import.

Thanks for the host template unfortunatly i have to upgrade to 0.8.6h because i get the famous "Hash version does not exist" error.

I've been out of the loop for a while, so I'm sure I missed something. For me there is still a lot of manual work to be done when the graphs are created. I've got an XML file that allows cacti to gather things like CPU, Mem used/free, NIC stats... however since the naming convention for the OID's forces me to translate the
101.120.97.109.112.108.101.10.115.101.114.118.105.99.101.49.48.49 into
example-service101 in my graphs names
I've got hudreds of rules/services/owners... and redundant ccs's I've not found a way to use the perl scripts on the previous page to help automate...

What I think I'll focus on is a script that parses a saved running-config and creates the graph/host template.... I dunno yet

Finally been able to upgrade my cacti to the latest version and been also able to test you're template a bit. Still having some issues getting it running.

I am missing some referenced data querys. What i have been able to reconstruct from you're first template posting was okay except "css-status.xml" and "css-conns" is missing.

It would also be nice to update the path associated in the data query from absolut to "<path_cacti>/resource/snmp_queries/".

Thanks in advance...

Hi,

we're using the Cisco CSMs in our 6500s which basically do the same thing. We're doing just that to keep our MRTG/RRD page current-ish however I've just been given the task of getting CSM stuff in cacti. Someone else wrote the scripts and I'm not much of a coder. Eep!

Just letting you know that your idea is probably going to produce good results

Hi,

This looks great.. but I can't work out how to get this stuff going. I've added these to resource/snmp_queries and I've tried to import the host template but it tells me:

Error: XML: Hash version does not exist.

Am I doing things in the wrong way?

[ScOp3]

Error: XML: Hash version does not exist.

You are probably using an older version then 0.8.6h which results in this error message. You have to upgrade you're cacti for it to work. Unfortunatly the template ist not complete so far. Some dependcies are missing IMHO and am still waiting for an answer from the author.

paulvx http://forums.cacti.net/about5114.html#28044 posted that script. The only issue with it is that in asciii, the codes "9" and "10" in ascii are Horizontal Tab and Line feed respectively. There may be other ascii codes that throw out errors for most... so a corrected script that ignores any ascii codes 0-31

See attached, the useage is the same as before, echo or cat the values through the script.

10.110.101.119.45.115.99.114.105.112.116.13.102.111.114.45.97.108.108.45.50.45.116.114.121
9.116.101.115.116.105.110.103.49.50

I am still working on the templating ideas for cacti.

Is this template working for CSS load balancing switches?? I am getting the following error and not sure if it is the template or not.

The css.zip file posted is missing two files, css-status.xml and css-conns.xml. Can anyone post these files if they have them? The rest of the scripts work correctly for me, but these are missing. The files that were included are css.xml, css-svc.xml, and css-trfc.xml but the other two are missing.
