Multiple Field Index

Post by sribeiro »

Cheers!

I’ve got this MIB I want to graph,
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.84.1.1.1.1.3
cipPrecedenceSwitchedPkts from CISCO-IP-STAT-MIB.iso.org.dod.internet

It identifies the number of packets with a determined precedence and a direction.
So each interface has 16 rows under this MIB, so the interface 2:
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.84.1.1.1.1.3.2
will have the direction IN(1) and OUT(2), defined by:
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.84.1.1.1.1.3.2.1
and
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.84.1.1.1.1.3.2.2
and, in this way each direction has 8 precedence types (0-7):
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.84.1.1.1.1.3.2.1.0
. . .
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.84.1.1.1.1.3.2.1.7
(for direction IN(1))

There are no other MIBs relevant to this like Indexes or so.
What I want to accomplish is to use the last 3 MIB levels to make the Index, so this is my solution.

Code: Select all

<interface>
        <name>Get SNMP Interfaces Precedence</name>
        <description>Queries a host for a list of monitorable cip precedence interfaces</description>
        <oid_index>.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.84.1.1.1.1.3</oid_index>
        <oid_index_parse>OID/REGEXP:.*\.([1-9][0-9]{0,1}\.[12]\.[0-7])$</oid_index_parse>
        <index_order>ifInterface</index_order>
        <index_order_type>numeric</index_order_type>
        <index_title_format>|chosen_order_field|</index_title_format>

        <fields>
                <ifInterface>
                        <name>Interface</name>
                        <method>walk</method>
                        <source>index</source>
                        <direction>input</direction>
                        <oid>.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.84.1.1.1.1.3</oid>
                </ifInterface>
                <cipPreSwPkts>
                        <name>cipPrecedenceSwPkts</name>
                        <method>walk</method>
                        <source>value</source>
                        <direction>output</direction>
                        <oid>.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.84.1.1.1.1.3</oid>
                </cipPreSwPkts>
        </fields>
</interface>
The regular expression filters the last 3 levels.
The problem is that it doesn’t work!
The XML is correctly parsed, but noting shows up at the Data Query.
Can anyone lend me a hand on this?

Didn't you say there is not an Index for cipPrecedenceSwitchedPkts? If that's the case, that is why this xml template is not returning valid results (or is it?).

If it uses the same index numbers as the Interfaces, then you should be able to use:
<oid_num_indexes>.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.1.0</oid_num_indexes>

and use this instead:

Code: Select all

		<ifIndex>
			<name>Index</name>
			<method>walk</method>
			<source>value</source>
			<direction>input</direction>
			<oid>.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.1</oid>
		</ifIndex>
Then the xml script will have the proper index numbers to base the results around...

I’m parsing all the possible indexes from the walk done to this MIB

Code: Select all

<oid_index>.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.84.1.1.1.1.3</oid_index> 
<oid_index_parse>OID/REGEXP:.*\.([1-9][0-9]{0,1}\.[12]\.[0-7])$</oid_index_parse>
The indexes should be something like:

Code: Select all

1.1.0
1.1.1
. . .
1.1.7
1.2.0
. . .
1.2.7
2.1.0
. . .
Unless I’m wrong these should be used to index the MIB cipPreSwPkts and extract the correspondent values, has said in the SNMP Query XML Syntax from the Cacty Manual, by using:

Code: Select all

<source>index</source>
I still cant do it! Pay attention to the MIB, it does use the same index numbers as the Interfaces, but the MIB doesnt end there, it has more 2 values.
Sorry if this seems complicated, I'm just trying to make this work.
