Host template for Compaq (HP) Insight Manager.

[boots]

I also get the K instead of G as the unti of scale for disk space.

Also the CPU stats dont work for a single CPU. This is also the same for using the same OID from the insite mibs on the same host so its an insite manager issue not cacti....

I'm having a little problem with this as well. Other than the aforementioned problems, for some reason I can't seem to get any temperature data to show up after getting rid of the leading '0's for the OIDs. Walking the OIDs seems to work just fine and doing a verbose query from the device screen also seems to produce output but when I create the graph, everything shows up as 'nan' and nothing is graphed.

Any ideas?

This is because the Insight Agent reports it's disk space value in megabytes instead of bytes. The k that you see in the graph is from rrdtool. Sort of like scientific notation. For Example, it takes the number 80000 and converts it to 80k or (80 * 1000).

To fix it so the graph numbers make sense to someone that dosen't know what rrdtool is doing in the background, create a new CDEF that does the following commands:

Code: Select all

CURRENT_DATA_SOURCE
1024
/
1000000000
*

That converts MB to GB and the adds 9 zeros on to the end so that rrdtool uses the G symbol to save space instead of printing a really large number.

Then apply this new CDEF to each of the graph template items in the Compaq - Diskspace graph template.

Added the new host file with the changes from dskadra. Thanx. Just to make it easier for other users of the xml file.

Actually, removing the leading 0's doesn't quite do the trick. That last leading zero refers to the 'chassis' we are dealing with. 0 is invalid, but we do need some value there. I'm not sure which scenario would exist where you'd have multiple chassis, but setting this to 1 chooses the "first one" (only one?).

Seems to make the temp graphs work for me.

OK, I have a dumb question. How do I change Celsius to Fahrenheit on the temp sensors graph?

Thanks

[mgb]

To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit you have to use a cdef function with this formula

Tf=(9/5)*Tc+32
Tc=temperature in degrees Celsius
Tf=temperature in degrees Fahrenheit

I have changed the graph template to display fahrenheit in stead of celsius

Might be that my template is corrupt. There seems to be an issue with import and export when the threshold module has been installed.

When I've fixed this issue i will post a new version.

For now, Just create a new CDEF. I called mine C2F.

Insert the following lines

Item #1 Custom String: 1.8
Item #2 Special Data Source: CURRENT_DATA_SOURCE
Item #3 Operator: *
Item #4 Custom String: 32
Item #5 Operator: +

Open the graph template Compaq - Temperature

Click on each Graph Item and under "CDEF Function" and replace None with C2F (or whatever you called the cdef function).

Change the Vertical Label from Deg C to Fahrenheit.

Done

Wow. Worked lilke a champ. Thanks very much for your quick and extremely helpful reply. It's much appreciated!

I got a problem with cpqHeTemperatureHwLocation (.1.3.6.1.4.1.232.6.2.6.8.1.8.0), this OID does not exist in the mib (checked with snmpwalk)
So I cannot see the label of the manitored temp. I have tried to browse the complete mib but no way to retrieve the label.
Can I hard code the label somewhere ?
Thanks.

[cleaner]

anyone know where the sensors are located on the server?

[limaunion]

Hi, I'm not being able to import these templates, I go to 'import templates' > browse > then choose the template but nothing will happen, what may be wrong?

I've already imported other templates without trouble, and I've also tried pasting the templates under the snmp_scripts folder but still don't see them.

Thanks in advance for a response.

the hard disk graph is returning "k" for y axis instead of "g" as giga. how can i change that ?

thanks

++ would be interested in this as well

[sumsum]

anyone tested this on a HP proliant DL380 G4 server ?

thanx

Works on a ML370 G4 so I would imagine yes.
