Custom RRD Graph Issue
by s0a4m＠hotmail.com 30 May '11

30 May '11

Warning: I'm very new to RRD (and xymon). I followed the custom graphs how-to and tried to setup a custom graph with 3 items on it. The output of my ext script looks like: cpu: 35sda: 47sdb: 39 Everything seems to be working fine and RRD appears to be picking up the data, but my graph doesn't look right. At the bottom of the graph it is reporting correctly on all 3 values, but they just aren't graphing correctly. The first one, cpu is fine. sda appears to be graphing, but in the color for sdd. sdb doesn't graph at all. I'm not sure how to alter the example configuration for 3 lines instead of two, but I obviously didn't get it right. In graphs.cfg I have the following: [deg] TITLE Temperature YAXIS Celsius DEF:cpu=deg.rrd:cpu:AVERAGE DEF:sda=deg.rrd:sda:AVERAGE DEF:sdb=deg.rrd:sdb:AVERAGE LINE2:cpu#00FF00:cpu LINE2:sda#FF0000:sda LINE2:sda#0000FF:sdb COMMENT:\n GPRINT:cpu:LAST:cpu \: %5.1lf%s (cur) GPRINT:cpu:MAX: \: %5.1lf%s (max) GPRINT:cpu:MIN: \: %5.1lf%s (min) GPRINT:cpu:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf%s (avg)\n GPRINT:sda:LAST:sda \: %5.1lf%s (cur) GPRINT:sda:MAX: \: %5.1lf%s (max) GPRINT:sda:MIN: \: %5.1lf%s (min) GPRINT:sda:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf%s (avg)\n GPRINT:sdb:LAST:sdb \: %5.1lf%s (cur) GPRINT:sdb:MAX: \: %5.1lf%s (max) GPRINT:sdb:MIN: \: %5.1lf%s (min) GPRINT:sdb:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf%s (avg)\n Any thoughts?

Configuring Devmon for the first time

Sorry for the long post, just trying to put all the information I think is relevant in one place! I believe I have Devmon all ready to go short of one example test.

IPv6 Support?
by Jason.Chambers＠geosoft.com 28 May '11

28 May '11

Has anyone looked at supporting IPv6 at this stage? IANA only has a little more than 150million addresses left that they can assign, and then the address pool is exhausted. Some are targeting March 2011 as the end date of IPv4 availability.

My time for Xymon will be limited the next few weeks
by henrik＠hswn.dk 28 May '11

28 May '11

Hi everyone, to avoid any worries I guess I'd better let you know that I'll be somewhat off-line for the next month or so. First I'll have a few days with very limited net-connectivity, and then I am going to have some eye surgery done - that means I will not be allowed to do a lot of reading or other computer work, so my activities with Xymon will be put on hold for a little while. (The surgery is nothing to worry about - I had a similar operation on my left eye back in 2008, and now need the same thing done on my right eye. And I'm getting older, so I have also developed a cataract that is being dealt with at the same time. Just need to avoid too much strain on the eyes for a few weeks after the operation). So don't expect to see a lot of mail from me for the next 3-4 weeks. Regards, Henrik

Fw: Cisco IOS XR CPU/Temp oids
by kconnell＠ryerson.ca 27 May '11

Wow. That seems a little crazy. This is the only cisco xr device we have so I'm not too familiar with it... So each time you've have a reboot you've had to go back and reconfig for the new oid ?

The temperature OIDs will change each boot (usually), and can be found by walking the Entity Sensor Mib, searching for an EntitySensorType of 8. There are generally at least three sensors per board. CPU may also change on each boot, and is found in the Cisco process mib. There are several variants, and I generally have to test each of them to determine which one is active in any particular version of IOS.
