graph creation fails using oid_index_parse

[biggles]

Hi all,


I am trying to graph the usage of a xerox laser printer, showing the number of pages & faxes used (impressions)
Below I have shown an snmpwalk of the relevent OIDs. I cannot find any index OID information in the printer, so I am using the oid_index_parse parameter in my data query. Below the walk, you'll see my query. Below the query you'll see the output from a cacti Verbose Query execution....and you'll see that my parsed OID index seems to work.

However, when I choose to Create Graphs For This Host, and then select a graph to create, I get an error:

Notice: Undefined index: sgg_10 in /usr/share/cacti/site/graphs_new.php on line 71

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /usr/share/cacti/site/graphs_new.php:71) in /usr/share/cacti/site/graphs_new.php on line 322


It seems to be that cacti doesn't have a sensible index to use from my query - my parsed OID index will give me indexes in triplets (eg. 1.1.1 , 1.1.2, 1.6.1 etc etc - see the output from the Verbose Query) - so I suspect that cacti can't derive an index from this - there isn't a column in the Create Graphs page that has in index in it, I can only see the strings returned from .1.3.6.1.4.1.253.8.53.13.2.1.8 and nothing else, whereas I note in all other device query results, the table has incremental indices for each graphable item.


What can I do to fix this ?

thanks
-Trevor.

SNMP XML is not the correct solution for your problem. You may search for HP Laser Printer Templates (a very similar approach) in Scripts and Templates. You would simply have to replace the OIDs found within by yours.
If you prefer developing this from scratch, two approaches may help
- some Data Input Method knowing about all these OIDs and spitting out the results in one print
- a copy of the "SNMP - Generic OID Template" for each OID used combining them by an appropriate graph
Choose one

ok, it's late here so I'll try this out tomorrow.

But why is SNMP XML the wrong choice ?
I don't understand what method to choose for each device, as I've always used snmp xml before.

thanks

SNMP XML fits for indexed SNMP data (e.g. an snmp table). For non-indexed data, use my suggestion above. Find this discussed in the last two links of my signature
