SPINE 1.2.24 - problems with unusual SNMP values?

[GGA]

I'm on the latest released Cacti/Spine 1.2.24.

I try to monitor the optical SFP RX/TX power from a Brocade ICX switch.
The returned values have a kind of unusual setup:

Code: Select all

snmpget -v2c -c xxx host .1.3.6.1.4.1.1991.1.1.3.3.10.1.4.17.1 -Ovqa
"-008.6806 dBm Normal"

There are double quotes and values and strings together.

I wrote a small snmp_queries XML but that only works during the realtime monitoring.

The default 5min monitoring just shows me a warning in cacti.log:

Code: Select all

2023-07-18 18:11:19 - SPINE: Poller[1] PID[78909] PT[139655334712896] WARNING: Invalid Response, Device[81] HT[1] DS[20783] SNMP: v2: <device>, dsname: snIfMonitoringTxPwr, oid: .1.3.6.1.4.1.1991.1.1.3.3.10.1.3.17.1, value: -001.9661 dBm Normal

Spine debugging gives me rather the same:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/spine/bin/spine --first=81 --last=81 -R -S -V 5
...

But why is realtime monitoring working? Does it anything different than general 5min polling with Spine?
Could there be something with the snmp_query XML? Well if so, would realtime monitoring work neither?

This is maybe the same as we have.
In my case, cmd.php works but takes so much longer.

[Osiris]

Spine should have stripped those trailing values.

[Osiris]

You should log a bug on GitHub.

[GGA]

Done, https://github.com/Cacti/spine/issues/311

[Osiris]

Grab the latest 1.2.x branch. It's fixed there already.

[GGA]

Thank you Osiris and TheWitness, this seems to fix it with the latest 1.2.x branch.
But in my case, this version brings me a new problem and this could fit together.
My bind9 monitoring based on Script/Command stops working with the latest 1.2.x branch.
The input string

Code: Select all

<path_cacti>/scripts/bind-stats.sh <hostname>

leads to an error because of the wrong placed quotes:

Code: Select all

ERROR: Problem executing POPEN. File '/var/www/cacti/scripts/bind-stats.sh 'host'' does not exist or is not executable. 

[TheWitness]

Does the file exist and is it executable?

[TheWitness]

Maybe change to

Code: Select all

/bin/sh -c /blah.sh <hostname>

Instead.

[TheWitness]

Run spine at debug level for that host_id

Code: Select all

./spine -R -V5 -S -H host_id

[TheWitness]

Log that to github too. Include the output.

[GGA]

I will paste it to github.
The script is executable and it still works when I switch back to spine release 1.2.24:

latest 1.2.x branch

Code: Select all

Total[0.1978] The executable is '/usr/bin//var/www/cacti/scripts/bind-stats.sh' in '/var/www/cacti/scripts/bind-stats.sh 'HOST''

With spine release 1.2.24

[TheWitness]

I'm going to be fixing this today.

[TheWitness]

Should be fixed as of 5 minutes ago.

[GGA]

Cool, it is working now. Thank you for fixing this.
