Cisco Router - Class Map statistics

[Jesper]

Greetings,

Does someone have an export from 0.8.7g available that could be attached...? I'm getting XML Parse error when trying to import the cacti_data_query_cisco_router_-_cm_stats.xml file.

Thank you,
/Jesper

Hey Guys, I wonder if any of you still hang around here? I just 1 thing I am trying to figure out with this. I am pulling QOS info from a number of routers, my pre-class and post-class look fine. But my drop rate always stays at 0 even though I know its not. Any ideas?

I have to check at work on monday, but what if you snmpwalk the droprate-oid and see what you get? It could also be that the oid has changed, i sortof remember something about that, but again, i have to check at work.

What version is this export for? Anyone have one for 0.8.7c? Very nice work on this.

Thanks,

Hello,

I hav einstalled the php version of the script. I'm running about 100 routers with differnt QOS Policy Maps configured, so I activated the CM data query on them and got about 1000 more data sources and lot of new rrd files.

Afterwards I got lots of similar error messages in my logfile:

Poller[0] ERROR: SS[0] PHP Script Server communications lost. Restarting PHP Script Server
[0] ERROR: Input Expected, Script Server Terminating

and the overall php script server increased drammatically as you can see here:

poller_items.png (18.78 KiB) Viewed 6533 times

and here the object image:

poller_objects.png (22.19 KiB) Viewed 6533 times

afterwards I have deleted on some hosts the data query as I got loads of before declared errors, also the overall query time increased as you can see here:

runtime.png (22.1 KiB) Viewed 6533 times

Question:
1. Why do I have so much more SCRIPT SERVER now?
2. Why is the overall stats time so much increased?
3. Is there a chance to optimize things for me or does someone know a better script to graph Cisco CBWFQ?

this is my cacti instance technical info:

1. Since you created cbwfq-graphs for all your hosts, and, i assume for all your policy-maps. These data sources uses the script server, and thus your script server objects increase.
2. The script has to be called once for every data source. And script server is the fastest there is next to regular snmp, but still alot slower. This is only logical, you add a bunch of script-server data sources to be run, the poll takes longer.
3. Im sure there is room for optimizations of the script, but i dont have the time currently to look over it.

A tip is to not create cbwfq graphs for every host/policy-map, but to use it on important devices, or as a faultsearching tool.

thx for your quick response. I understand that it should be possible moving the script to snmp queries instead of using the php file? Will this be hard to realize, do you recommend using your 3 files as a starting point or starting from something else?
Is there any easy way to do this, or do you think this will only take to much time?

I really like the graphs your script creates, the most i need to know is if I have drops on some of my classes!

Thx for this great share!

If it were possible to do this via regular snmp queries (indexed) it would probably have been done already, ill have another look at it during next week tho.
What you can do, since you only need drops is to edit the data template and graph template to only include the drops. You might have to edit the data query aswell. This will cut down the amount of data sources that is run.

your welcome

@toe_cutter: do you think that there will be no chance to use snmp queries instead of php script server? What could be the problem? Is it not only a similar query then using the standard interface snmp query?

I really appreciate your work.

[hmorandell]

Sorry to say that,

but this is pretty useless: as soon as there is lots of traffic on the routers and the different QOS classes, the script keeps going in timeout and all the cacti spine processes go in blocking so that on all graphs you get data losses.

I had to reduce this script now to 3 routers and suggest to everyone to use it only for debbuging purposes only and not for daily use!

I'm also experiencing the error

Use of uninitialized value in concatenation

Watching the errors and qospol.pl file, seems that ALL errors are regarding the lines that print the variable index value number 18, just like:

print $cbitr[18] . "\n";

print $precbitr[18] . "\n";

print $dropbitr[18] . "\n";

This command, printing the variable index number 18, happens several times on qospol.pl and seems it's the one that is generating the error.

I can successfully do the snmpwalk commands and can see values .... but nothing is returned from the qospol.pl script but the 'unitialized value in concatenation' ....

I know this is an old post, but I also had this problem - fixed it by replacing [18] with [13].

explanation: if you have a look at the output of your snmpwalk, you'll see it looks like:

root@test:~# /usr/local/bin/snmpget -Os -c <your comm string> -v 2c <your ip> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.166.1.15.1.1.11.691199.691201
enterprises.9.9.166.1.15.1.1.11.691199.691201 = Gauge32: 7340000

after the snmp command is run in the qospol.pl script, you'll see it performs a "=~ s/ /./g", which means substitute spaces with periods ( . ). There are only 3 spaces in the output of the snmpget command - before and after the "=" and after the "Gauge32:". The resulting string is then:

enterprises.9.9.166.1.15.1.1.11.691199.691201.=.Gauge32:.7340000

so then it considers periods ( . ) as deliminators, and [18] means print the 18th field, which clearly doesn't exist (hence the NaN). Counting the fields (inbetween periods ) in the above string shows that the value you are after is actually field 13

hope it helps! it did for me!

This worked for me but with a different value so it is the fix for -nan values, you will need to work out what number works for you with snmpwalk, mine was 11

Hi all!

I just finished converting (and testing) HerzogEH's perl-script to Cacti PHP Script Server.
I had to create a new data and graph template for it with new DS-names. But i only created for my needs (pre/post/drop bitrate (64bit)). So thats all im including.

Oh, its SNMPv3 compatible too.

Fields polled by script:

Code: Select all

qosbitrate (32bit)			  	=> .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.166.1.15.1.1.11
qosprebitrate (32bit)		  	=> .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.166.1.15.1.1.7
qosdropbitrate (32bit)		 	=> .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.166.1.15.1.1.18
qosdropbyte (64bit)		    	=> .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.166.1.15.1.1.17
qosprebyte (64bit)		  		=> .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.166.1.15.1.1.6
qosbyte (64bit)			     	=> .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.166.1.15.1.1.10
qosoverflowbyte (32bit)			=> .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.166.1.15.1.1.8
qospreoverflowbyte (32bit)		=> .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.166.1.15.1.1.4

Some stats:

Code: Select all

[root@cacti /usr/local/share/cacti/scripts]# time php -q ss_qospol.php <host> "" 2:161:500:3:20:<community> index && time perl qospol.pl <host> <community> 2 index

ss_qospol.php:
real	0m0.264s
user	0m0.116s
sys	0m0.007s

qospol.pl:
real	0m1.196s
user	0m0.082s
sys	0m0.038s

So you see, almost a second faster

Keep in mind! New data and graph templates with new DS-names probably means that a clean update of your old qospol.pl templates isnt possible, also stuff will most likely BREAK -> BACK STUFF UP BEFORE!

@coders/devs: yeah, i know, its ugly coded and could probably loose 1/3rd of its size by using variables more/better. But it works.

Hi!
I have update this script
"get" function is simplified ,also resolved bug with empty outbound data on cisco2800
changes only inside ss_qospol.php,

tested on Cisco 2821 Cisco 3845
i will appreciate for any feedback.

Dear All,

I have tried to use that template, it is very useful and helpful. But I got with other issue cause it could not query the class from port-channel. Is there anyway to solve this problem?

Cacti Version 0.8.7e

Thanks in advance for support and help,

Dear All,

Any 64bit counter template update for this pls?

[Sophanith]

Hi All,

Can anyone share and updated scripts with 64 bits encounter?
