Netscreen Template Issue

[packet7]

Hi,

I was able to get the Netscreen Tunnel Interface and Policy Counters templates/scripts working with some minor tweaks. Unfortunately, I am unable to get the Session, Load, and Memory templates working.

The templates imported just fine and SNMP is working. I created the graphs, but nothing is being recorded. The graphs have been blank for over 60 minutes. Do I need to associate a Data Query too (see attached)? I tried using the data query drop down menu, but the other netscreen templates weren't listed.

Anyone know how to fix or troubleshoot this? Thanks!

Yes, a graph template must be fed by a valid data template, which in tern is fed by either a Data Input Method or Data Queries. Do you have those for the Session, Load, and Memory?

Hello,

I have the following:

cacti_data_template_netscreen_stats.xml (imported as template)
cacti_graph_graph_template_netscreen_load_average.xml (imported as template)
cacti_graph_template_netscreen_memory.xml (imported as template)
cacti_graph_template_netscreen_sessions.xml (imported as template)
netscreen_stats.pl (copied to scripts folder)
Netscreen - stats (data template)
No data query for this.
Netscreen - stats (Data Input Method)

I ran an snmpwalk using the info from the *.pl and I did get results back. Do I need to create a Data Query and link it to the Data Input Method? I think I need to add something, unfortunately I don't know what! )

Anyway, any suggestions? Thank you!

Hi,

I noticed the following after enabling debug mode:

10/06/2007 08:30:12 PM - CMDPHP: Poller[0] Host[3] DS[64] CMD: /srv/cacti/scripts/netscreen_stats.pl 10.109.4.50 SECRET, output: U
10/06/2007 08:30:12 PM - CMDPHP: Poller[0] Host[3] DS[64] WARNING: Result from CMD not valid. Partial Result:

I have been searching for a fix without any luck. Thanks for your help.

1) you need to figure out where the graph should be getting its data from.

2) manually run that perl script; does it return data?

Hi,

It appears to me that the script worked (see below). I also included the contents of the script (see below). Please keep me posted. Thanks for your help.

Hmm, well since the script is just doing snmp, you would be a LOT better off if you converted it to a snmp data query for cacti. Much faster and efficient. Read http://docs.cacti.net/node/70 on how to make your own.

Hi,

OK, thanks. I wish I had the script/programming skills to get this done, but I don't. That being said I will read the documentation and give it a shot. If you have any pointers regarding how I could convert the .pl script I would appreciate it.

Thank you.

Hello,

I found a Netscreen Host template that included what I was trying to do (Memory, Sessions, CPU). I simply deleted the old templates that required the .pl and imported the new one. Thank you.

Rgds,
