Host template for Intel Modular Server?

dgealt · Post by **dgealt** » Wed Apr 28, 2010 8:25 am

I have been searching all over for a host template for the Intel Modular Server. At the bare minimum I would like to watch the switch modules, but anything else would be excellent. Has anyone seen or created a host template for this device? I have used a MIB walker and found a TON of information available to SNMP, but unfortunately I do not know enough about it to use this information to create my own host template. Could someone help me out? I have included the results of the MIB walk in case it helps.

When attempting to connect cacti to the Modular Server using only the built-in SNMP Interface - Traffic data source the only things returned are
dummy 0/2 (no data)
lo (loopback does have some traffic)
ixp1 (management module ethernet interface)
ixp0 (I believe this is the interface between the management module and the midplane)

All of these interfaces are on the management module, I can't seem to get any of the switch module interfaces through SNMP

Thank you for the link. I had actually looked at this and the cacti documentation, but I'm still lost. My problem is that I don't know which MIBs pertain to the data I want to collect.

You need to contact the vendor and get the MIB files. Then all of those OIDs will get translated to something useful. Once thats accomplished, then the link given can be used to create the snmp xml scripts.

HOW TO GET THE MIBS:

If you download the following package:

http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_ ... 5&lang=eng

The zip file will contain another zip file called MIB_Files.zip. Just unzip these mibfiles to /usr/share/snmp/mibs on linux.

Attached is the output from the following command:
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <ip address> intel

It has the total kitchen sink!

The other (standard MIB2) things mentioned earlier (like ixp0, ixp1, etc) in this post reflect the Chassis Management Module itself.

You'll notice in the attached output, that it includes the switch counters.

Example:
INTELCORPORATION-MULTI-FLEX-SERVER-SWITCH-MIB::switchIfOutOctets.1.13 = Counter32: 964514329

Also, notice there there's a description table that gives labels for each of the switch ports (1-26)

Example:
INTELCORPORATION-MULTI-FLEX-SERVER-SWITCH-MIB::switchIfName.1.13 = STRING: Server.1.1

(That would be Server 1, Nic 1). The external ports are labeled Ext.x

Hope this helps!

Gabriel.

Is this what I need?

Oh cool, thanks
I will see what I can do with this tomorrow and let you know how it works out

mrgabinator · Post by **mrgabinator** » Wed Apr 28, 2010 7:24 pm

Yes, that the file you want.

Just extract those individual mib files to /usr/share/snmp/mibs, then type
# export MIBS=all

then try the walk, and you will get everything (storage, servers, switch, etc).

I'm assuming you're using Linux with net-snmp?

Also keep in mind, that NIC 1,2 (on server baseboard) both go to switch 1. The mezz card NICs (3,4?) both go to switch 2.

yes I'm actually using the rpath cacti virtual appliance so it is linux. thank you again.

Ok so I'm still having trouble with this
I exported the MIBs and did the snmp walk, created the xml file and placed it where it needs to be.
Then I went through every step listed at
http://docs.cacti.net/manual:087:3a_adv ... ta_queries
I now have a host template... but it's not graphing anything.
Can I get someone to go over the xml file and maybe the host template to see if I missed anything (or just really screwed something up)?
I've only created graphs for the 4 external interfaces and the 6 internal interfaces that are active on the switch module (I know there is quite a bit of traffic going through these ports)... still nothing.

Time to go through http://docs.cacti.net/manual:087:4_help ... #debugging to find out where its breaking.

in cacti.log I find this
04/29/2010 07:42:11 PM - CMDPHP: Poller[0] Host[48] DS[2315] WARNING: Result from SNMP not valid. Partial Result: No Such Instance cur

but when I edit the device and click on verbose query I get (I think) good results (I attached a txt file)

All of my cisco devices are still graphing correctly

You need to look in the poller cache what OID DS[2315] refers to. Then snmpwalk it and compare results.

when I snmpwalk that OID I get this result
[root@ms-cacti]# snmpwalk -v2c -c public 10.2.10.251 1.3.6.1.4.1.343.2.19.1.2.10.203.3.1.10.14
INTELCORPORATION-MULTI-FLEX-SERVER-SWITCH-MIB::switchIfInOctets.14 = No Such Instance currently exists at this OID

When I snmpwalk the OID without the .14 on the end I get this result
