Monitoring a switch

[Ragnarok]

I am new to cacti and all i wanna do is monitoring my cabletron switch. but i cant get it to work

maybe i searched a the wrong locations, but i found no useful documentation on how to do that simply. i looked for a template to download, but there are none?

has anyone hints for me?

1) add the device
2) in the device, add the snmp interface associated query.
3) click 'create graphs for this host' in the top right corner.
4) select what you want to graph and you're done.

hmm so far i was too

Code: Select all

+ Running data query [1].
+ Found type = '3' [snmp query].
+ Found data query XML file at '/wwwdir/tools/html/cacti/resource/snmp_queries/interface.xml'
+ XML file parsed ok.
+ Executing SNMP walk for list of indexes @ '.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.1'
+ No SNMP data returned
+ Found data query XML file at '/wwwdir/tools/html/cacti/resource/snmp_queries/interface.xml'
+ Found data query XML file at '/wwwdir/tools/html/cacti/resource/snmp_queries/interface.xml'
+ Found data query XML file at '/wwwdir/tools/html/cacti/resource/snmp_queries/interface.xml'

i want the traffic of all ports...
isnt the port traffic stored in 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.x.y, where x is 10/16 and y is the port number 1,2,3....

Perform an snmpwalk against .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.1 to see what your switch responds. Cacti will do the same ...

Code: Select all

snmpwalk -Os -c public -v 2c ##ip## 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.1
ifIndex.1 = INTEGER: 1
ifIndex.2 = INTEGER: 2
ifIndex.3 = INTEGER: 3
ifIndex.4 = INTEGER: 4
ifIndex.5 = INTEGER: 5
ifIndex.6 = INTEGER: 6
ifIndex.7 = INTEGER: 7
ifIndex.8 = INTEGER: 8
ifIndex.9 = INTEGER: 9
ifIndex.10 = INTEGER: 10
ifIndex.11 = INTEGER: 11
ifIndex.12 = INTEGER: 12
ifIndex.13 = INTEGER: 13
ifIndex.14 = INTEGER: 14
ifIndex.15 = INTEGER: 15
ifIndex.16 = INTEGER: 16
ifIndex.17 = INTEGER: 17
ifIndex.18 = INTEGER: 18
ifIndex.19 = INTEGER: 19
ifIndex.20 = INTEGER: 20
ifIndex.21 = INTEGER: 21
ifIndex.22 = INTEGER: 22
ifIndex.23 = INTEGER: 23
ifIndex.24 = INTEGER: 24
ifIndex.25 = INTEGER: 25
ifIndex.26 = INTEGER: 26

that works... so what now?

I'm having the exact same issue myself. I just found this in my apache error_log file:

Code: Select all

Unknown output option passed to -O: U.
USAGE: snmpbulkwalk [OPTIONS] AGENT [OID]

  Version:  5.0.1
  Web:      http://www.net-snmp.org/
  Email:    net-snmp-coders@lists.sourceforge.net

OPTIONS:
  -h, --help            display this help message
  -H                    display configuration file directives understood...etc

So I suppose it could be an old net-snmp. I'm getting the new one now and testing it out.
