Cisco CSS SNMP rosetta stone

[jameslai1981]

Hi all,

Please Help! I imported the css-new-v3 template to my cacti system. My OS of CSS is older than version 7.4, so i changed the oid
from: .1.3.6.1.4.1.2467

to:
. 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.368.

That created graphs but there is no data.

I attatched the photo for reference.

THX!!

do you know how to change the syntax of the body of the file named "css_status_854.xml"

I've already change differents OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.368 with this
1.3.6.1.4.1.2467

but I don't know the syntax to change this line :

<oid_index_parse>OID/REGEXP:.*\.368\.1\.15\.2\.1\.1\.([0-9\


- <interface>
<name>Get CSS Service State</name>
<description>Queries a CSS for Stuff</description>
<oid_index>.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.368.1.15.2.1.1</oid_index>
<index_order_type>numeric</index_order_type>
<index_title_format>content_index</index_title_format>
<oid_index_parse>OID/REGEXP:.*\.368\.1\.15\.2\.1\.1\.([0-9\.]*)</oid_index_parse>
- <fields>
- <ifIndex>
<name>Index</name>
<source>index</source>
<method>walk</method>
<direction>input</direction>
</ifIndex>
- <apSvcNames>
<name>Name</name>
<method>get</method>
<source>value</source>
<direction>input</direction>
<oid>.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.368.1.15.2.1.1</oid>
</apSvcNames>
- <apCntState>
<name>Bytes</name>
<method>get</method>
<source>value</source>
<direction>output</direction>
<oid>.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.368.1.15.2.1.17</oid>
</apCntState>
</fields>
</interface>

Thanks a lot.

I've discovered more OID's for the cisco css, mainly some 64-bit counters for the interfaces. There should be other "nuggets" that might be of use as well, this is all I've found thus far.

I have graph the Average Load for each service with this OID.
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2467.1.15.2.1.40.15...
Done

But I want too to graph the current connexion for each service.
The command refer to the OID Below is "show service ServiceName"
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2467.1.15.2.1.20.15...

Who know the OID to graph all the current connection for all content and services ?

Ask about CSS :
If I make a show flows @IPsource @IPDestination, I don't have the same value of the current connection on a service.
The "show flows" command is more significant as a "show service ServiceName" command. The "show flows" command represent the real current connection number on a service ( we find the same result on the server with netstat ). It semms to have persistent connection with the command "show service ServiceName. Do you have any idea abootu this twice command ? Do you know how can I make to graphe result's value from the show flows command ?

Thank's for your responses

I've just installed these templates, and they are working happily (had to bump up my SNMP timeout a bit), but I'm a little confused by the Service Connections graph - is it really per second?

Looking at a content rule, I have 200m connections/sec, but one of the services within that content rule has 20 "connections/sec". Is it really per-second and not just current connections?

HI,
i just installed the templates from this thread. Works very fine, but the Traffic Graphs doesn't show anything higher than 100Mbit/s and get a 64Bit Break. If i try to create a Traffic Graph with the 64 Bit Counter from Cacti, the graph doesn't receive any data.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

A common issue with a 5 minute polling interval and a 32-bit counter is that around 110+ MB per second, the counters will filp/reset too often to get the proper value. You need to either, use a 64-bit counter, or increase the polling interval, meaning use a 2 minute instead of a 5 minute, or even a 3 minute possibly 4 minute if the traffic will stay under 200mbs.
It's been documented often here on the forums, but not so much on the CSS about the 32-bit counter limit being around 110mbs.

The css uses 32-bit counters for everything and only has a few 64-bit counters to speak of, and they are on the physical interfaces, not subinterfaces or virtual interfaces.

If you see "m" in your graphs and you don't think that is correct, change that objects CDEF to "per 5 minute" and your issue should go away. It should then report the values without the "m" which is meant to signify milli...

I've documented the CSS 64-bit counters here: http://xinn.org/Css-Rosetta-Stone.html (scroll down a bit to find "EXTENDED OIDS DISCOVERED" )

BUMP. I'm also having trouble with Service related Graphs can someone help me fix? All other graphs work fine, service graphs never get started

[Dom...]

I had the same problem with the graph of the CSS Services Connections.
I think there is a problem with the graph template.
In the graph "CSS services connections", I have changed in the Item#1 & Item#5 , the consolidation function LAST by AVERAGE, and after it works.

[Dom...]

For the content rule traffic, is it the out or in traffic of an physical interface (or the sum) ?
Thanks

[mupchu]

I am trying to add the physical interfaces in with a 64-bit counter, and i can;t seem to get it to work. I get an error that the OID is not found:

11/02/2009 01:36:03 PM - CMDPHP: Poller[0] Host[35] DS[867] SNMP: v2: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, dsname: traffic_out, oid: .1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.10.5, output: U

[richrumble]

Assuming your CSS version is 7.40 or greater:
http://xinn.org/other/CSS-7.40-plus-extended.txt
The 64-bit interface counters are not located in a standard location
ap64ifInOctets | 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.368.1.44.3.1.10
ap64ifOutOctets | 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.368.1.44.3.1.16
ap64ifAdminStatus | 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.368.1.44.3.1.7 | up (1), down (2), testing (3)
ap64ifOperStatus | 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.368.1.44.3.1.8 | up (1), down (2), testing (3)
ClearSite-NMS also graphs all available 64-bit counters first, and reverts to 32-bit if 64-'s are not present.
