This is done with the threshholds file.
Check the tests in the tarball I sent.
They do go red if there are issues. We found a dead fan when I implemented
it :-)

It prefer enabling wiki on sourceforge.  Or use the xymon wiki.

I can merge it in 1 template, but I'm on holiday for the next 3 weeks...

When there is a problem with a port or something else (power supply, segmented 
switch, ...) the switch becomes marginal.  It is still running but there is a 
problem.

I can not find an SNMP OID that reports this.

Hi Stef

What changes/additions did you make server-side to get graphing working for
the port_load info?
I am struggling to get it to work.

Re: [Devmon] Brocade template

[Vernon E. <eve...@gm...>]

OK, just got notified my email is pending moderator approval - it's too big
with my attachment. :-(
If you mail me, I will send tarball direct.

Stef? Can you make the file available on that Wiki of yours?
Or perhaps allow me to upload it there?

I think we should also talk to Buchan and other interested parties, and
consolidate our template efforts.
Although this site
http://devmon.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/devmon/trunk/templates/
is great, it was damn difficult to find, and I suspect there are a lot more
templates than just those.

I would like to suggest we create a Devmon templates area on the Xymon home
page here, http://xymonton.trantor.org/doku.php
Even if it duplicates some efforts, like the page above, it will be more
visible to Xymon users, and probably encourage wider Devmon adoption, and
more templates.
It might also prevent duplication of effort.
Stef, myself, and David Baldwin, (who create the template on the link above)
all worked pretty hard to create what we did, but it didn't need to be done
three times.

The only problem I have is that when a switch is marginal, I can not find a 
corresponding SNMP oid :(

Re: [Devmon] Brocade template

[Vernon E. <eve...@gm...>]

Had a quick gander, and it looks very similar to what I have in some areas.
I had done a little more in other areas, like links to other switches.

I then found another Brocade template, which I then adapted and
modified to suit our needs.
Got it working yesterday arvo, but it needs a little bit of cleaning up.

Will do so on Monday when I am back in the office, and post to the list.

Cheers
     Vernon

Re: [Devmon] Brocade template

[Vernon E. <eve...@gm...>]

I was wondering if that's what happened. :-)

Thanks for that, will implement it Monday.
I have done a little bit on my own. I will see where our work
overlaps, and send you anything I have that you might not ave covered.

[Devmon] General Infrastructure help needed

[Stephan B. <Ste...@MX...>]

Hi All

Hope this email is not too long and boring, just want to share some
stuff and ask some too...

Current Infrastructure:
- 3x locations in different countries est. 200 servers each and network
equipment to match
- Currently running 1 x hobbit/xymon per site (with hobbit clients)

Main goal for Xymon/Devmon implementation
- Single central monitoring station (Lightweight)
- Need to report on historical infrastructure data (availability,
resource utilization etc.)
- Snmp functionality to enable monitoring of network equip, storage and
servers
- Low as possible network load

Work done:
- Base install of Centos 5.5, 64bit on Dell Poweredge 1955, 8x2ghz, 8gb
ram
- xymon 4.2.3 installation    
- Devmon 0.3.1-beta1 (MULTINODE)
    CYCLETIME=60
    NUMFORKS=14 (tried up to 20)
    MAXPOLLTIME=4
    SNMPTIMEOUT=50 (because currently polling across borders)
    SNMPTRIES=4
                    Rest Default
- Transferred existing bb-hosts file (+/- 200 devices)
- Customized tests     - Linux 1955 - Poweredge template removed fans
and power 
                                                      - Added Disk,
DiskIO, IFLoad and Processes from linux-netsnmp template
                                  - Win 1955  -  Poweredge template
removed fans, power and cpu
                                                     -  Added Disk,
IFLoad, cpus and Services from Server2003 template
                                  - Win/Lin 1950/2950 - Same as above
except left fans and power in there

Problems experienced:
- Default UDP buffer too small causing, packet receive errors when
"netstat -su" (SOLVED)
    - Set in /etc/sysctl.conf 
        net.core.rmem_max = 16777216
        net.core.rmem_default = 8388608
        net.core.wmem_max = 16777216
        net.core.wmem_default = 8388608
- Regularly getting devices that stop monitoring with the following
error (white hobbit):
    - This problem is intermittent, across various servers on LAN and
WAN
    Missing repeater data for primary OID XXXXXXX
- Recently started getting the following problem (purple hobbit):
    - Also intermittent, started happening since adding some new hosts
to monitor
    - Possible cause, think i have reached my limit for this server,
please confirm, data from devmon not reaching hobbit in time
    - Database reports 750 tests on this main node

Problems with templates:
Hashed these lines out
[10-07-16@22:16:20] Bad SWITCH case type (1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.1.4)
at /usr/local/devmon/templates/microsoft-win2k3server/disk/transforms,

Don't need this templates, just thought i'd share
[10-07-16@22:16:20] Missing 'oids' file
in /usr/local/devmon/templates/cisco-mds9500/experimental, skipping this
test.
[10-07-16@22:16:20] Missing 'message' file
in /usr/local/devmon/templates/netscreen-5gt/memory, skipping this test.

Dell-poweredge template on Windows server cpu don't report, please let
me know the correct oid.
Dell-poweredge template on Windows server memory don't report correctly,
problems vary on 2003/2008/2008r2 (Probably OID's too)

Requests:
- Need to know if anybody can help me out with SNMP templates for the
following:
    - Dell Chassis Switches PowerConnect 5316M
    - Dell 1955 chassis DRAC 
    - EMC Clariion CX3 series storage
    - CISCO ACE 
    - Fortigate (Fortinet) Firewall
    - Anything MS SQL server
    - Got the Brocade on thanks!!!!
    - Any poweredge templates specific to Windows Versions and Linux
The ones above i do not find i will attempt to create and share as soon
as this is done.
    
Questions:
- Want to manually assign owner-node of a device to be polled in db or
otherwise, and it not be overwritten by auto assignment by devmon
    - Reason, each node must only poll on local LAN and send update to
display server (Multi location)
- What is the relative maximum tests per node as per experience (got 750
on display server)
- What is the relative maximum devices to be monitored on hobbit keeping
RRD in mind
- If i disable conn test on hobbit, will this affect polling of devices
if so how can i disable.
- If devmon fails to connect to display server to send polling results,
is the results buffered and resent when display server becomes avail or
does it get lost

More hobbit related:
- Want to pull custom reports relating to test data results, was
thinking to import all rrd and hobbit history  data into MS SQL db via
rrdtool xport function, any ideas would help.  

And lastly i love what you guys are doing with devmon keep the good work
up!!


Cheers, thanks for the help

Re: [Devmon] Missing repeater data for primary OID

[Vernon E. <eve...@gm...>]

In the grand tradition of problems everywhere, all it took was another set
of eyes.
Notice the swSerial oid below?
It's .3.6.......
It should have been .1.3.6.......
Added .1 and all is good in the land.

Now for my follow up question.
How does one bad oid, on one test break all of the others?

Why does an invalid oid there, cause a Missing repeater data error on all of
the other tests?

Regards
      Vernon

[Devmon] Missing repeater data for primary OID

[Vernon E. <eve...@gm...>]

Hi all

Devmon was working happily, retreiving data, when it just stopped.
All of  my new template tests went white, with this error message - Missing
repeater data for primary OID
(In fairness, I only have one device, and all the tests are new ones I am
busy working on)

snmpget and snmpwalk from command line are still working fine.

The devmon --readbbhosts command finds my device.
And my one test, with this oid file, finds the system description.
sysDescr        :   .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0     : leaf
sysObjectID     :   .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.2.0     : leaf
sysUpTime       :   .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0     : leaf
sysContact      :   .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.4.0     : leaf
sysName         :   .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5.0     : leaf
sysLocation     :   .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.6.0     : leaf
ipAddress       :   .1.3.6.1.4.1.1588.2.1.1.1.1.25.0 : leaf
netMask         :   .1.3.6.1.4.1.1588.2.1.1.1.1.26.0 : leaf
swSerial        :   .3.6.1.4.1.1588.2.1.1.1.1.10.0 : leaf
The rest return "Unknown"

The logs simply show lots of "No SNMP data found for blah on device"
So I tried debug mode.

The only bit that looks significant, is this

Is this template publically available?
If so, where?

[Devmon] How to test a modifed version of Devmon

[W.J.M. N. <Wim...@nl...>]

Hello all,

For a modified version of Devmon, I would like to create  a 
test-environment. In this environment Devmon should typically run only 
once, and should not write anything to Xymon. Can someone comment on the 
correctness and the completeness of the following setup:

. Create a separate directory, f.i. /opt/devmon/test and put files 
devmon and devmon.cfg in it
. Create subdirectories modules en templates, and populate it with the 
appropriate files
. Edit devmon.cfg to point to the running version of Xymon
. Build hosts.db: `devmon --readbbhosts`
. Do a test-run: `devmon -l`

Regards,
  Wim Nelis.

I think at most some minor changes would be required. It should not be 
necessary to re-write all of dm_snmp.

It would be easier to know after seeing what changes you have had to make so 
far.

Re: [Devmon] Please Help with devmon thanks Buchan

[Mario A. P. <row...@gm...>]

Buchan,

I think this can be a bug!

Curiously this problem only occurs on 64-bit machines running xymon 4.3.0
and devmon.
After I upgrade my second server environment to 64 bit the same problem
appears, hobbitd_rrd crash and the cores shows the same if_load test
problem.
This second server monitors different appliances and before with 4.3.0 and
devmon beta1 versions, I had no problem with hobbitd_rrd crashes.

The 4.2.3 version runs good.

Hi Buchan,

I've changed devmon to read bbhosts and get the v3 parameters. now my
problem is the dm_snmp.pm file. I have some doubts,  Do you think by
changing the connection method is sufficient to work? Or I have rewrite all
the dm_snmp.pm?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Buchan,

This week I've started to work in this solution. I've verified that the
developer of snmp_session now works on Net_SNMP_util.pm utility that is
based on Net:SNMP.
http://code.google.com/p/snmp-session/source/browse/trunk/Net_SNMP_util.pm?r=730
I'm trying to use this file. Do you think that use this utility is a good

Re: [Devmon] SNMP error noSuchName

I get the error for all three custom OID:s on the hosts that don't work, not just the OID in my example.

Subject: [Devmon] SNMP error noSuchName

Hi.

I am creating a test for VMFS utilization in our ESX template. It consists on a client-side script that is executed by snmpd reporting volume label size and free space on three different OID:s.
It works fine if I use snmpwalk from the command-line on the devmon server, and it also works fine for 4 out of our 11 ESX hosts. One the other 7 I get the following error:

Received SNMP response with error code
  error status: noSuchName
  index 1 (OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.99999.2.3.101)

Does anyone have any idea why devmon gets this error for some of the hosts? All the hosts have the same configuration on the client side, and all of them work if I use snmpwalk.
