The current snapshot of Hobbit can fetch data through SNMP, and one of the things I am using it for is to collect data about switches. We use Nortel's Passport-8600 switches here, but it can be configured for any kind of SNMP-enabled host. So just picking up the current load of the switch (cpu, memory, fabric utilisation) and the traffic on each port is done with this config entry in hobbit-snmphosts.cfg:
[pp8600.foo.com] version=2 community=public p8600system ifmib=!*!
"p8600system" and "ifmib" are actually pointers into hobbit-snmpmibs.cfg which has the details of what SNMP objects to retrieve (just showing a couple of items):
[p8600system] Descr = SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 UpTime = RFC1213-MIB::sysUpTime.0 BufferUtil = RAPID-CITY::rcSysBufferUtil.0 /rrd:GAUGE CpuUtil = RAPID-CITY::rcSysCpuUtil.0 /rrd:GAUGE
[ifmib] keyidx (IF-MIB::ifDescr) keyidx !IF-MIB::ifIndex! ifHCInOctets = IF-MIB::ifHCInOctets /rrd:COUNTER ifHCOutOctets = IF-MIB::ifHCOutOctets /rrd:COUNTER
Are those two configurationfiles replacements for hobbit_snmpcollect.cfg?
