Monitoring Cisco routers
I'm looking to hear from the group about monitoring Cisco routers. I see on deadcat that there are a number of external packages to do this, which is the best? Ideally we want to monitor traffic, in addition to the standard ping test, CPU and memory would be a bonus.
Thanks,

We are currently using devmon(CPU, memory, if_stats...) and MRTG (bandwidth) for doing that. Before that we had the tool "routermon" inplace...
OK, a couple of questions...
Is SNMP-Session still required? I have Perl_SNMP installed.
Can someone please post (or send) their hobbitlaunch settings to run devmon?
Thanks.

Yes... This is used in the devmon/modules/dm_snmp.pm module:
Modules
use strict; use BER; use Socket; use IO::Handle; use IO::Select; use SNMP_Session; use POSIX ":sys_wait_h"; use Math::BigInt; use Storable qw(nfreeze thaw); use dm_config;
Can someone please post (or send) their hobbitlaunch settings to run devmon?
I run devmon in daemon mode(5 min interval) outside of Hobbit. A couple of options are configurable in the devmon.cfg file.
Please read the README that come along with devmon...
Thanks.
OK, thanks again.

I have devmon installed, but when I run it from the command line (to test it), I get the following:
hobbit at hobbit:/usr/local/devmon> ./devmon --readbbhosts [07-01-11 at 11:20:11] Could not query device: GO_Router
The bb-hosts entry for GO_Router has 'devmon' as a test name (I changed the test name in devmon.cfg).
Does devmon try to to name resolution, or will it honor the testip directive in bb-hosts?

Do you have the correct SNMP-READ community string?
Better switch to the devmon mailing-list for this topic...
Straight from the admin. It goes in the SNMPCIDS field, right?

Hi Rich,
I think that's so (don't nail me on this); but I can't proove this, cause I'm currently @ home... Again: I think this is a little bit Off-topic for the Hobbit-list...

There is a devmon Web page somewhere that tells you what is needed. Google "devmon" and see what you find.
Devmon runs as a daemon, but there is a devmon command you can run every so often via hobbitlaunch to get devmon to re-read bb-hosts.
There are some "features" about devmon that may make it less desirable in certain environments:
A) Nothing is graphed -- traffic and errors numbers live in tables.
B) There is no convenient way to control which interfaces in a device are monitored. There are some inconvenient ways, however.
C) Devmon has a pretty big default footprint. You can tune it a little bit, but you need to know what you are doing.

If you want traffic for each interface, you can easily pull it with any of the MRTG systems, configure MRTG to use rrdtool and put them into the hobbit rrd directory. Use Hobbit to view the ports rrd traffic or mrtg. I find the graphs for cpu/memory more useful to diagnose problems with the switches/routers.

Is that 6509 with IOS or CatOS ?
If its IOS then I would also be very interested.

There is a devmon Web page somewhere that tells you what is needed. Google "devmon" and see what you find.
Devmon runs as a daemon, but there is a devmon command you can run every so often via hobbitlaunch to get devmon to re-read bb-hosts.
There are some "features" about devmon that may make it less desirable in certain environments:
A) Nothing is graphed -- traffic and errors numbers live in tables.
B) There is no convenient way to control which interfaces in a device are monitored. There are some inconvenient ways, however.
C) Devmon has a pretty big default footprint. You can tune it a little bit, but you need to know what you are doing.

OK, a couple of questions...
Is SNMP-Session still required? I have Perl_SNMP installed.
Can someone please post (or send) their hobbitlaunch settings to run devmon?
Thanks.

I'm looking to hear from the group about monitoring Cisco routers. I
see on deadcat that there are a number of external packages to do
this,
which is the best? Ideally we want to monitor traffic, in addition to the standard ping test, CPU and memory would be a bonus.
We are currently using devmon(CPU, memory, if_stats...) and MRTG (bandwidth) for doing that. Before that we had the tool "routermon" inplace...
