[SOLVED] Creating stand alone values CPU,packetloss,latency?

Quote

Post by thomasj » Thu Mar 27, 2008 11:11 am

Hi!

Been fiddling the last few days with Cacti via a CactiEZ installation and are looking through the different features and plugins.

I have got a map running and i must say im really impressed of this plugin and i am sure this will become permanent in our monitoring setup.

One small thing that i have not found how to do... How do i create standalone values like packetloss, cpu or temp? Is it a Node that i have to use?

I run 0.941

Yes, it's just a node that does participate in any links.

Each node can have it's own TARGET, so you can point it to the appropriate rrd file. Then your label is something like

Code: Select all

NODE node1a
  LABEL CPU {node:this:bandwidth_in}%

You can make it a little easier to manage by making it 'follow' another node as you move things around, with:

Code: Select all

 NODE node1a
     POSITION node1 0 30

so that will stay 30 pixels below node1, wherever you move node1. You tend to end up with clusters of nodes, with one for the icon and links, and these status nodes around it.

I'll write this up a little better on the website some day soon.

Edit: Actually, it looks like I already did.

Weathermap 0.98a is out! & QuickTree 1.0. Superlinks is over there now (and built-in to Cacti 1.x).
Some Other Cacti tweaks, including strip-graphs, icons and snmp/netflow stuff.
(Let me know if you have UK DevOps or Network Ops opportunities, too!)

Hi Howie,

We really appreciate your work on this, we love it...we use it now in production in lieu of Compuware's ServerVantage & Vantageview.

I've read and re-read the manual section on special tokens and the page that your link above sends me to several times. I'm still at a loss. I just don't get which special token will get me the values I want.

I have the Advanced Ping Data Source for all of my switches.

How do I get packet loss and latency values to appear seperately under my nodes?

I know the basics, insofar as creating a node that doesn't link to anything...but how do I get a value(s) under that node?

Thanks,
Bob

Code: Select all

NODE AtlanticCityWC
	LABEL Atlantic City WC
	POSITION 89 182
  TARGET gauge:atlantic_city_wc_-_10_6_12_5_loss_159.rrd:loss_ds
  
NODE AtlanticCityWCLatency
  LABELFONT 104
	POSITION AtlanticCityWC 5 20
	LABEL Latency {node:AtlanticCityWC:loss} ms

This gets me a node with: Latency [UNKNOWN] ms for the label.

From my logs:
04/01/2008 03:09:07 PM - WEATHERMAP: Poller[0] [Map 24] Switches.conf: ReadData: NODE AtlanticCityWC, target: gauge:atlantic_city_wc_-_10_6_12_5_loss_159.rrd:loss_ds on config line 81 was not recognised as a valid TARGET [WMWARN08]
04/01/2008 03:09:07 PM - WEATHERMAP: Poller[0] DEBUG: [ReadData@Weathermap.class.php:606] [Map 24] Switches.conf: ReadData: New Target: gauge:atlantic_city_wc_-_10_6_12_5_loss_159.rrd:loss_ds

If I use bandwidth_in or bandwidth_out instead of loss_ds, I just get a value of 0. It works, and my logs say Target is valid, but I get 0 because I don't think either bandwidth ds is correct to use?

Thanks,
Bob

You're on the right track. The DS is right. The problem is that you need *two*

So either

Code: Select all

TARGET gauge:atlantic_city_wc_-_10_6_12_5_loss_159.rrd:loss_ds:loss_ds

or

Code: Select all

gauge:atlantic_city_wc_-_10_6_12_5_loss_159.rrd:loss_ds:-

would do it.

Possibly your rrd has a latency DS as well, in which case you could fetch that in the 'out' DS.

Weathermap 0.98a is out! & QuickTree 1.0. Superlinks is over there now (and built-in to Cacti 1.x).

I wrote my last post hastily. It's packet loss % that I'm trying to get, not latency. I was trying both at one time.

I should have mentioned that I tried:

Code: Select all

TARGET gauge:atlantic_city_wc_-_10_6_12_5_loss_159.rrd:loss_ds:loss_ds

Because of needing two ds's.

I just tried:

Code: Select all

TARGET gauge:atlantic_city_wc_-_10_6_12_5_loss_159.rrd:loss_ds:-

with no luck:

04/02/2008 11:43:57 AM - WEATHERMAP: Poller[0] [Map 24] Switches.conf: ReadData: NODE AtlanticCityWC, target: gauge:atlantic_city_wc_-_10_6_12_5_loss_159.rrd:loss_ds:loss_ds on config line 81 had no valid data, according to WeatherMapDataSource_rrd
04/02/2008 11:39:12 AM - WEATHERMAP: Poller[0] [Map 24] Switches.conf: ReadData: NODE AtlanticCityWC, target: gauge:atlantic_city_wc_-_10_6_12_5_loss_159.rrd:loss_ds:- on config line 81 had no valid data, according to WeatherMapDataSource_rrd

I opened the .rrd with RRD_Editor-Lite and the data source names in there are loss, avg, max, dev, min.

When you say:

Possibly your rrd has a latency DS as well, in which case you could fetch that in the 'out' DS.

What do you mean by the 'out' DS? That would be the second of the two ds's at the end of my Target?

This is the result of the last polling session in the RRD for the advanced ping data template. I don't know if this helps:

I opened the .rrd with RRD_Editor-Lite and the data source names in there are loss, avg, max, dev, min.

OK, so those are the possible names for DS in the TARGET line too. The two DS names on the end are for 'in' and 'out' respectively (because that's where they go for a link, and nodes share a chunk of the same code).

So you'd use something like

Code: Select all

TARGET gauge:atlantic_city_wc_-_10_6_12_5_loss_159.rrd:loss:-

or

Code: Select all

TARGET gauge:atlantic_city_wc_-_10_6_12_5_loss_159.rrd:loss:avg

Now, once the data is read, it gets put into the 'bandwidth' variables inside weathermap (again, because they were originally done for links). These are always called bandwidth_in and bandwidth_out.

So, in the second TARGET case above, {node:this:bandwidth_in} would produce the loss value and {node:this:bandwidth_out} would produce the average latency value.

After that, you should be back on the path of the article I linked to.

I am in the process of redesigning the website, and once that is done I plan to write up a bunch more of those articles, including a full description with a diagram of where the data goes.

(you should have gotten an error to tell you that 'loss_ds' isn't a valid DS name in your rrd file, and a list of names that are valid - that's a bug. It probably would have been clearer earlier if you had had that

)

Weathermap 0.98a is out! & QuickTree 1.0. Superlinks is over there now (and built-in to Cacti 1.x).
Some Other Cacti tweaks, including strip-graphs, icons and snmp/netflow stuff.
(Let me know if you have UK DevOps or Network Ops opportunities, too!)

We've had the day from hell here today. I scrapped my attempt at getting loss and latency numbers (for now) and started from scratch to see if I could get something *simple* going.

So, I have this as my code:

Code: Select all

NODE AtlanticCityWC
	LABEL Atlantic City WC
	TARGET rrd:atlantic_city_wc_-_10_6_12_5_traffic_in_434.rrd:traffic_in:traffic_out
	POSITION 464 183

NODE AtlanticCityWCIN
	LABEL {node:AtlanticCityWC:bandwidth_in}
	POSITION AtlanticCityWC 5 20

NODE AtlanticCityOUT
	LABEL {node:AtlanticCityWC:bandwidth_out}
	POSITION AtlanticCityWC 20 20

Should this work?

I get a blacked out node label for AtlanticCityWC and I get two boxes under that with both having a value of 0.

I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I'm persistent so if I can get something going I'll be happy to document it and provide examples of a config file with corresponding map.

Pic of my map using my config above:

I don't see what you're trying to do. If you want to show bandwidth between two places, you don't need to do it like this...

Weathermap 0.98a is out! & QuickTree 1.0. Superlinks is over there now (and built-in to Cacti 1.x).
Some Other Cacti tweaks, including strip-graphs, icons and snmp/netflow stuff.
(Let me know if you have UK DevOps or Network Ops opportunities, too!)

I was trying anything yesterday before I left for the day, because I didn't get a chance to work on it all day and I figured I'd try anything at this point.

Sorry if it's a little schizophrenic, but that's the kind of week it's been.

When I was trying to get a loss or latency value from the advanced ping template I tried:

Code: Select all

TARGET gauge:atlantic_city_wc_-_10_6_12_5_loss_159.rrd:loss_ds:loss_ds

and 

TARGET gauge:atlantic_city_wc_-_10_6_12_5_loss_159.rrd:loss_ds:- 

and 

TARGET gauge:atlantic_city_wc_-_10_6_12_5_loss_159.rrd:loss:avg (which I had the most hope for)

with no luck. (fwiw, there isn't a latency ds)

So, I figured I'd try to do something with a built in data template like the "interface traffic" template because from what I read that defaults to "traffic_in, traffic_out".

I've read the mailing list archives, your notes here: http://www.network-weathermap.com/node/87 and the manual again. I *think* I've tried what you've talked about, inpercent and/or outpercent, or bandwidth_in and bandwidth_out.

In the manual, you have:

Code: Select all

 LABEL {node:fw_a:outvalue} Sessions

So I even tried outvalue and invalue. I saw on the mailing list archives where someone else tried invalue and you said that's incorrect, but if it's documented that way you'd change it. So, I gave up on that immediately.

This is what I was able to try today and a note as to the result of each one:

Code: Select all

NODE AtlanticCityWC
	LABEL Atlantic City WC
	TARGET atlantic_city_wc_-_10_6_12_5_traffic_in_434.rrd
	POSITION 464 183

NODE AtlanticCityWCIN
 #LABEL {node:AtlanticCityWC:traffic_out} gets me "UNKNOWN" & blk label above
  #LABEL {node:AtlanticCityWC:traffic_in} gets me "UNKNOWN" & blk label above
  #LABEL  {node:AtlanticCityWC:bandwidth_out} gets me "0"& blk label above
  #LABEL {node:AtlanticCityWC:bandwidth_in} gets me "0" & blk label above
  #LABEL  {node:AtlanticCityWC:outpercent} gets me "0" with blk label above
  #LABEL {node:AtlanticCityWC:inpercent} gets me "0" with blk label above
  #LABEL {node:AtlanticCityWC:invalue}gets me "UNKNOWN" & blk label above
  #LABEL {node:AtlanticCityWC:outvalue} gets me "traffic_out"
	#LABEL {node:AtlanticCityWC:} gets me "UNKNOWN"", label above reads AtlanticCityWC
  #LABEL {node:AtlanticCityWC:traffic_in:traffic_out} gets me "0", label above reads AtlanticCityWC.
	POSITION AtlanticCityWC 5 20

Some excerpts from my logs:

(But the graph keeps getting updated, so my .rrd does exist and it gets populated.)

I've also tried prefacing the TARGET with rrd:

Code: Select all

NODE AtlanticCityWC
	LABEL Atlantic City WC
	TARGET rrd:atlantic_city_wc_-_10_6_12_5_traffic_in_434.rrd
	POSITION 464 183

NODE AtlanticCityWCIN
   LABEL {node:AtlanticCityWC:bandwidth_in}
   POSITION AtlanticCityWC 5 20

but I just get a "0" with a black label above it.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Bob

I'm having the exact same problem. The title of this thread says (Solved) but I don't see a resolution here.

According to this thread and the posted How-to, the below code should return the sessions count but it's returning 0 for me.

Code: Select all

NODE fw1sessions
        LABEL {node:this:bandwidth_in} sessions
        TARGET gauge:../../../rra/fw1_limelife_local_sessionsalloc_171.rrd:sessionsAlloc

Any idea what we are doing wrong?

What *you* are doing wrong (laamid isn't the same), is only having one DS name at the end.

laamid, you should be using

Code: Select all

TARGET gauge:atlantic_city_wc__10_6_12_5_loss_159.rrd:loss:avg

(assuming that's what your DSes are called in that RRD)

and any of these would have worked, if you had the node name match in the {} (you could also just use 'this' instead to avoid the problem) - you have AtlanticCityWCIN as the name for the node but you use AtlanticCityWC in the label, which is wrong.

Code: Select all

  #LABEL  {node:AtlanticCityWC:bandwidth_out} gets me "0"& blk label above 
  #LABEL {node:AtlanticCityWC:bandwidth_in} gets me "0" & blk label above 
  #LABEL  {node:AtlanticCityWC:outpercent} gets me "0" with blk label above 
  #LABEL {node:AtlanticCityWC:inpercent} gets me "0" with blk label above

and I'll fix that mention of outvalue.

I figured out the root of my problem. The RRD files were created by root. I forgot to add the apache user to run the cmdphp cronjob. Doh!

I'm trying to use this as an example. I can't use {node:this:name} on my AtlanticCityWCIN node, because I want a value for AtlanticCityWC. Is that right?

Code: Select all

NODE fw_a 
 POSITION 100 100 
 LABEL Firewall A 
 TARGET fw_a_cpu.rrd:cpu:- fw_a_sessions.rrd:-:sess 

NODE fw_a_sessions 
 POSITION fw_a -30 0 
 LABEL {node:fw_a:outvalue} Sessions

Code: Select all

NODE AtlanticCityWC
   LABEL Atlantic City WC
   TARGET rrd:atlantic_city_wc_-_10_6_12_5_traffic_in_434.rrd:traffic_in:traffic_out
   POSITION 464 183

NODE AtlanticCityWCIN
   LABEL {node:AtlanticCityWC:bandwidth_in} bandwidth in
   POSITION AtlanticCityWC 5 20

NODE AtlanticCityWCOUT
   LABEL {node:AtlanticCityWC:bandwidth_out} bandwidth out
   POSITION AtlanticCityWC 20 20

Should that show two "boxes" one with an in value, one with an out value under the node Atlantic City WC on the map?

In your second node, you use this:

Code: Select all

LABEL {node:fw_a:outvalue} Sessions

which points to the first node...is that right?

So, I tried this:

Code: Select all

{node:AtlanticCityWC:bandwidth_out}

To point to my first node.

I'll try using {node:this:name} on the second and third node and it should work?

Everything else is ok?

Thanks,
Bob
