Cisco Memory Pool Statistics for routers and switches

[chadd]

I created this script server template so that I could more easily threshold on percentage of memory used. The other templates I saw for memory stored free and used values in separate DSs, making it difficult to threshold on "percentage" used (I could not find a way to do this). The old way to threshold was to give an exact value for each DS based on the amount of memory available in that particular device (not practical). This way is easier - one threshold represented as a precent of available memory used. This also allows you to create graphs for each memory pool on the device, instead of just the processor memory pool. Enjoy.

Once the template is imported and the php and data query xml have been copied to the correct folder locations, how do you configure this? If I attempt to add a data source using the Data Template Cisco - 5 minute Memory Statistics and assigning it to a host, it requires an Index Value..... Also how do you change which memory pool you are mapping to?

This is the config I have so far:

Data Queries:
points to the xml file for cisco_5min_memory_stats.xml with an input method of Get Script Server Data (Indexed)


SNMP Walk:

default data and graph template from the import


No data Input Method


If I add a data source using the date template and assign it one of the indexes listed from the snmp walk, then I get no data....




Answer: Once I added the associated data query to the device, I had to go and create a new graph and select the index points. Once this was done, the graphs and thresholds worked as needed.....
