[XML] Cisco IP SLA templates (AKA RTR & SAA)

[shlynn]

wow..great!!!

removed post... fixed issue!

Hello,
I import the graph templates on my cacti.
How can I graph an ICMP probe?
Thanks!

Sample Basic & DNS statistics

Basic statistics
Use this template/probe to get response time for DHCP, PING (ICMP), TCP Connect and any other probes without matching graph template

DNS statistics
Use it to get response time for DNS probe. Sample config to resolve www.yahoo.com using 208.67.222.222 DNS server every 5 minutes with 100ms threshold:

ip sla monitor 232
type dns target-addr www.yahoo.com name-server 208.67.222.222
frequency 300
threshold 100
ip sla monitor schedule 232 life forever start-time now

Great plugin!
But measurement of DNS replies in kilobytes is strange.

Is anyone working on updating this to include the support for ethernet-jitter and ethernet-echo over CFM?

Hello all,

I have configured SAA capabilties on my network to graph network values but i am not able to analyse the Loss value.

Could you tell me how to analyse the result on the graph to evaluate the number of lost packets ? I don't understand the scale on the graph.

On the 'Y' axis I have a time reference, but Loss packet value have to been explain in : Number of packet lost.

Someone could explain this feature ?
Thanks in advance

hi all,
can someone tell me what u or m means about the number of packets. i know that u = micro an m = milli. My questions is milli what?

So far the IPSLA templates have been fantastic. One small issue. I added the mibs based on this

To get most out of the updated graph templates, I suggest importing the mibs for IP SLA. Attached is two mibs that needs to be copied to /mibs directory (On my Ubuntu linux, the location was /usr/share/snmp/mibs/). Once copied, add following lines in snmp.conf (might need to create the file if it does not exist, my snmp.conf resides in /usr/share/snmp/):

mibs +CISCO-SMI
mibs +CISCO-RTTMON-MIB

Once mibs and xml files are imported/copied go to 'New Graphs', Select your IP SLA configured router, Edit this host, Add Data Query, select 'Cisco - IP SLA Statistics', click on add. Now you can click on 'Create Graphs for this Host', and you should see a screen like below with informative description of the probe instead of just numbers. Also, the description will be carried on the actual graph tag entries.

I did exactly what was said but it did not seem to work. Are there any gotchas when doing this.

I had to create an snmp.conf file which I placed in the /usr/share/snmp dir.

Thanks
Mike

Has anyone managed to resolve this? I'm also experiencing the same issue.

Any ideas for fixes or things to check for this template not showing more than the numeric OID values in "Data Query [Cisco - IP SLA Statistics]" screen?

Like others I have added the appropriate Cisco mibs into /usr/share/snmp/mibs

I have also created the missing snmp.conf file using the ALL keyword.

My Cisco MIBS are direct from Cisco and I have all v1 and v2 mibs.

My device I'm testing with is using snmp v2c.

I've refreshed the device, deleted sources and device and readded. I never get any sort of descriptors like the original poster mentioned and showed in screenshots.

When I run the following;

snmpwalk -v 2c -c public 1.1.1.1

snmpwalk is correctly looking up all the OID's against the MIBs and showing the descriptive information not the raw OID structure.

I have following config:

ip sla monitor 1009
type echo protocol ipIcmpEcho 63.150.131.9 source-ipaddr xx.xx.xx.xx

& need 63.150.131.9 to be displayed along with others in Graph Title but not able to find the query type.

Any help will be appropriable....

hi all,
can someone tell me what u or m means about the number of packets. i know that u = micro an m = milli. My questions is milli what?

Sorry to bump this thread..it's been a "while" since the last post..

The m and u etc refers to the SI unit.

It is easier to understand if you look at RTT measured in ms. Say you have 100ms RTT, but then suddenly this drops to 0.9ms. Cacti, or rather, RRD will then display this as 900m in the legend underneath your graph. This might look weird, but it actually gives you great granularity and detail. So basically the m in the graph tells you to divide op 1000. 900/1000=0.9

Back to the packets though, this has puzzled me as well. How do you get a packet loss of i.e. 500m?!

My reasoning is this: I am assuming this has something to do with averaging. Say you poll your IP SLA every 2 minutes, and in your first poll you have a packet loss of 1, but in the next poll you have a packet loss of 2. The delta is 1 packet over 2 minutes..that would be an average of 0.5 packets lost pr minute, and should then be displayed as 500m packet loss. I am not quite sure about the exact time span the average is shown in, or measured in though..and also..in my graphs I get a maximum of 333.33m..I cannot quite explain that using my reasoning over, I think.

Am I correct in parts of my assumptions? Any further assistance in this would be greatly appreciated as I have been asked by one of my project managers to explain the various jitter graph values we have..and this is one I can quite explain, at least not confidently

Hi all,
first thanks a lot for this wonderful template
I have several UDP Jitter running on the same router but with different target (router1 monitor router2 and router3 and router4 etc...).
The template works fine but I don't have the target address (routerx).
Can we have the target address with SNMP ? and can we print it on a graph to see which router is monitored ?
I hope I was clear , my english is bad.

Thanks !

Hi

Not sure if you can get the IP address. You could just type something meaningful as your TAG

tag Router1hostname_Router2hostname

This will then show up in your graphs.

Cheers

Thanks Jay.

For information I've got the IP Address after modify the cisco_saa.xml and add an entry wih oid : 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.42.1.2.2.1.2
But... (there's always a 'but') the address is in HEX format.

[jay]

Not sure how you would get that to show up as an IP address. Maybe you need a CDEF to do it. I wouldn't know how though.

What happens if you do an snmpwalk on that OID from within Cacti? Do you see the HEX or the actual IP address?

Cheers

Jay
