BigIP v9 Template

gwooden · Post by **gwooden** » Fri Mar 02, 2007 4:14 pm

Sorry apuye, I haven't have time to circle back to it. I am going to try bsdboy's template that he just posted and see. We are doing an upgrade to our units this week (from 9.1.1 to 9.2.4) and will look again at it when that gets done. Thanks,

Nope, still not working for me. I have tried all the regex ideas forementioned in this thread, and still not working. We are running 9.2.4 on LTM6800s.

I am able to get some graphs to appear, but none of the VS related ones.

Thoughts anyone?

Guys I am having problems with this template. The following two graphs are not created:

- F5 BigIP - Global HTTP 2xx/3xx Responses
- F5 BigIP - TMM memory

I mean they are not created at all. It is not that the data does not appear on the graph, it is the graph does not appear at all. Please help me out.

Thanks

So I had to rebuild my box yesterday due to the fact that Fedora is... well... whatever it is

Just wanted to say that everything worked just fine the first time when I did the following using CentOS4.4:

1) Follow the directions as the OP stated:
2) Replaced the OID parse with the below strings
3) Replaced the F5_BigIP_v9-Host_Template-rev_6.xml in my post a few posts back and imported twice
4) Edited the 200/300 Global graph template by changing the HRULE option in line 11 to VRULE.

I'm updating my original post because changing the HRULE value to '0' from '00:00' is incorrect, the correct way to fix this graph is to make line 11 a VRULE value instead of an HRULE value like all of the other graphs. Apologize for the misinformation, but it seemed to work

Using the following regex:
Code: Select all
f5_bigip_ifStat.xml:
<oid_index_parse>OID/REGEXP:^.*\.3375\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.(.*)$</oid_index_parse>
f5_bigip_vs.xml:
<oid_index_parse>OID/REGEXP:^.*\.3375\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.(.*)$</oid_index_parse> 
There is an error in F5_BigIP_v9-Host_Template-rev_6.xml, there is a 'traffic_in' where it should be 'traffic_out'. Attached is the file that is working for me. Also, there is an error in the HTTP2xx/3xx part, the HRULE is defined as 00:00 where it should be just 0. I did not fix this in the XML file, sorry I'm lazy, I don't know where this needs to be changed and I'm tired of mucking around

So if you re-import this file, change the REGEXP in the above files, blast the device and re-create you may see an improvement... as usual, YMMV

Could someone please post the final version of the host template, with all the necessary changes?

Thanks

Thanks. I have managed to get all the graphs, except for TMM memory. This graph is not even created. Is there a way I can debug it somehow to find out what is causing them not to appear?

When I run

php ss_f5-bigip-tmm-memory.php

in a shell I get plenty of errors. See below:

Hmm, I hadn't looked for awhile but apparently my memory has stopped graphing as well. I have a nice yellow and blue stripe where it used to show

If I get it worked out I'll let you know!

Looks like this is a PHP problem, maybe missing a module. I had an incorrect path for a bit which pointed to the canned RPM version of PHP and the memory worked.

Did you build from source? What OS are you using?

Think I'm getting close, I can run the script manually with cmp.php and get valid results but from within cacti it borks...

Ah ha, looks like php didn't have enough memory. I've set php.ini memory_limit to 512M and I have graphs again.

bash-3.00# /usr/local/php/bin/php -i |grep -ir memory
Zend Memory Manager => enabled
memory_limit => 512M => 512M

OK. In my case it is:

root@black:/var/www/cacti/scripts# php -i |grep -ir memory
Zend Memory Manager => enabled
memory_limit => 16M => 16M

I have changed this to 512. Let's see.

Keep in mind that 512M is quite a bit, my box has a couple Gig's and it's only purpose is Cacti

If your box is dedicated and has plenty available then roll with it, if it does other stuff make sure to keep an eye out for other problems
