As I told the other people, you must enable the debugging logging level in cacti for one polling cycle. You want to see if the OIDs cacti is polling for the ethernet stats is returning valid data or not. The graphing command really doesn't matter.

Thanks for the reply. when I mentioned the running a polling cycle in debug, I am searching that log for any of the OID's that are returning data, there isn't a match in the logs. I can snmpwalk any of the OID's contained in the XML on the command line, but It appears that it's not being included in the polling cycle at all.

I've followed all directions, and have been using Cacti for quite some time so I'm not a 'greener than grass user'

.. plugin arch 8.6h. if that makes any difference or helps for troubleshooting.. If you need anything else I'd be glad to post it.

thanks for any help

The first index needed source of "index" and all other oids needed method of "get" instead of "walk". Now only indexes with dot3stats will be listed.

So how can I add a column in the graph creation page to see what port I'm actually adding?

Does the column you want show up in "SNMP - Interface Statistics"? If so which one is it? If it is you can take a look at interfaces.xml and copy the appropriate section into the rfc1643.xml file. Make sure the <direction> is "input" or it won't show up during creation.

Yeah butt say i have a cisco switch is this collecting errors on all ports or can you set it up on a certain port ?

It shows up there, yes, but I'm not sure which section it is. Essentially I think I'm just wanting to add an ifAlias column to this template (so I know what port I'm putting it on).

No problem. I added in the ifAlias and ifIndex oids.

Hope that helps,

Excellent, except that - so far - on one of my switches it returns "No Such Object available on this agent at this OID" instead. I'm continuing to add a few to other switches - maybe its just that one (and older 4000).
Update:
Added ifName (I think it was) same as it is in the traffic script - all good now.

Okay, I've added this template to several devices. I have all of the fields I wanted (needed - thanks!) but now they're either not creating a rra file or they do but it never gets updated (graph debug - in this case - says its okay though). Is the following normal?

Code: Select all

DEF:a="/usr/share/cacti/rra/server_alignmenterrors_2981.rrd":AlignmentErrors:AVERAGE \
DEF:b="/usr/share/cacti/rra/server_alignmenterrors_2981.rrd":CarrierSenseErrors:AVERAGE \
DEF:c="/usr/share/cacti/rra/server_alignmenterrors_2981.rrd":DeferredTrans:AVERAGE \

DEF:f="/usr/share/cacti/rra/server_alignmenterrors_2981.rrd":SingleCollisionFra:AVERAGE \
DEF:g="/usr/share/cacti/rra/server_alignmenterrors_2981.rrd":MultipleCollFrames:AVERAGE \
DEF:h="/usr/share/cacti/rra/server_alignmenterrors_2981.rrd":LateCollisions:AVERAGE \
DEF:i="/usr/share/cacti/rra/server_alignmenterrors_2981.rrd":FrameTooLongs:AVERAGE \
DEF:j="/usr/share/cacti/rra/server_alignmenterrors_2981.rrd":IntMacReceiveErr:AVERAGE \
DEF:ba="/usr/share/cacti/rra/server_alignmenterrors_2981.rrd":IntMacTransmitErr:AVERAGE \
DEF:bb="/usr/share/cacti/rra/server_alignmenterrors_2981.rrd":SQETestErrors:AVERAGE \

RRDTool Says:

ERROR: opening '/usr/share/cacti/rra/server_alignmenterrors_2989.rrd': No such file or directory

When ever I add this template to a device, my browser also goes blank (as in a page refresh) and hangs until I click back. <shrug> I've run tseveral of the OIDs against these devices without any problems.

does anyone know if this works with Cacti 8.7?

Works for me with 0.8.7b. I am using the xml file posted on April 20, 2006 and the templates file posted on April 23, 2004.

I did have one problem that had to be corrected. I had to change the data source type field on the data template for all twelve data sources from Gauge to Counter. Based on the sample graphs in this thread, the original was also set to Counter. There must have been a problem with the import that caused this field to be erroneously changed to Gauge.

Hei Folks,

thx to the Author of this Template - great work. I made some minor Improvements to it (hope you dont mind) to get it working in 0.8.7e.

- Changed Data Template - Data Source Type from GAUGE to COUNTER
- Added Interface Name to Data Source and Graph Title

I tried heinzruehl scripts but I get

the Data Query [SNMP - rfc1643] Reload Associated Query
This data query returned 0 rows, perhaps there was a problem executing this data query. You can run this data query in debug mode to get more information

I dont see anything useful in the logs and it seems the rrd file doesnt get created

Sirup · Post by **Sirup** » Mon May 17, 2010 4:04 am

Is your .xml file withing ressources/snmp_queries named rfc1643.xml? or somethig else like rfc1643_112.xml?
it must be named rfc1643.xml

Cacti

Ethernet Stats(RFC1643) - XML

Properly indexed rfc1643

Some minor Improvements
