Re: [Devmon] Cisco ASA template

[xbgmsharp <xbg...@gm...>]

Thanks

In order to remove warning:
Cant redefine first
Cant redefine second

I change your transfroms to:
first_txt       : SWITCH    : {first} 
9=Active,10=Standby,4=Error,3=NoStandby
second_txt  : SWITCH    : {second} 9=Active,10=Standby,4=Error,3=NoStandby

and message to:
{first_txt.color}{first_unit} is {first_status}
{second_txt.color}{second_unit} is {second_status}

[Devmon] Devmon memory leak?

[Stewart, T. L. <Tom...@la...>]

All,

As I sometimes have a problem with Devmon hanging and not reporting
anything, (used beta-2 and upgraded to beta-3 on a Solaris 10 box) I
have a cron job that stops and restarts devmon every 15 minutes to
prevent losing too much data.

As I run this on the Hobbit monitor, I am now seeing where the memory
usage has constantly gone up since I started Devmon (first of October).
The hobbit server is now starting to do some swapping as physical memory
is all used up.

I have devmon set to use the standard 10 and most likely could reduce
the number of procs, but this won't help in the long run as I keep
adding more systems.

Is anyone else seen this problem as an issue?

Thank you,
Tom

Re: [Devmon] "devmon tests go purple" issue

[xbgmsharp <xbg...@gm...>]

Hi all,

After a day of DEBUG. I works.
I modify the file dm_snmp.pm which do snmp pooling.
So now instead of pooling all leaf oid in one request, 1 oid equal 1 request.
So now than i am pooling each oid separitly devmon should not go purple.
I try to make it per pakets like 5 or 10 but devmon get lost when corresponding data with test done in dm_tests.pm

I will let it working on some PIX and F5 devices and commit by the end of the week.

All of this, is for not getting SNMP Error: "error status: tooBig".
Because of this error all my leaf test was going clear.

Comments?

Regards,
Francois

I agree that I would like it changed as I also use fqdn's.  I spent some 
time trying unsuccessfully to get it work.  Now I know why I couldn't.

Re,

Could you add this line:

          my ($bindings) = $session->decode_get_response($response);
          if(!defined $bindings or $bindings eq '') {
            my $snmp_err;
        do_log("DEBUG SNMP MSG: $SNMP_Session::errmsg()",0) if $g{'debug'}
            ($snmp_err = $SNMP_Session::errmsg) =~ s/\n.*//s;

on line  474 in the file modules/dm_snmp.pm.

SNMP Error:
Received SNMP response with error code
  error status: tooBig
  index 0
SNMPv2c_Session (.......

I got this error  the error code "error status: tooBig" is explain.
http://www.juniper.net/security/auto/vulnerabilities/vuln2591.html

it seen very weird.
But if i remove a test everything is fine. Also if i pool it by hand 
with smnpwalk or snmpget it is working.
Could you also test and tell me you have the same error msg.

Here is a shell command which allow you test all oid from a template.

find . -type f -name "oids" | xargs cat | cut -d ':' -f 2 | tr -d ' ' | 
grep -v "^$" | awk '{ print "snmpwalk -t 5 -On -v2c -c COMMUNAUTY  IP "

Re: [Devmon] "devmon tests go purple" issue

[xbgmsharp <xbg...@gm...>]

Your are right. It just send clear status  on the test with error.
It doesn't send status on other test so they go purple by hobbit.

if you use this option  -f -p -vvvvvvvvvvv --debug.
You will see:
[07-12-19@10:34:53] DEBUG SNMP: Dethawing data for device
[07-12-19@10:34:53] ERROR: snmpget device (Received SNMP response with 
error code)

Here is the code refrence to this error.
           # Looks like we got some data
            my $hashref = thaw($data_in);
            my %returned;
            if (defined $hashref) {
              do_log("DEBUG SNMP: Dethawing data for $dev",0) if 
$g{'debug'};
              %returned = %{ thaw($data_in) };

             # If we got good data, reset the fail counter to 0
              $g{'fail'}{$dev} = 0;
            }
            else {
              print "failed thaw on $dev\n";
              next;
            }

The problem that i still don't undestand weel the hash structure via the 
thaw function.

[Devmon] dm test not working for devmon hostname fqdn

[Buchan M. <bg...@st...>]

I use fqdn's for all my hosts on hobbit (as we have a number of environments, 
and we duplicate the short host name for some servers in multiple 
environments), including the hobbit network test/devmon node.

Due to the following code, I was never seeing the dm test for this node (which 
has some useful information when doing tuning of devmon):

     # Remove domain info, if any
      $nodename =~ s/\..*//;
      chomp $nodename;

I don't think this is useful at all, if something besides the output 
of 'hostname' is required, the NODENAME should be set appropriately in 
devmon.cfg.

Comments?

Buchan

The interesting thing is it makes _other_ tests go purple.

My guess is that because it aborts the device query it doesn't send any
message for subsequent tests on that device, not even clear messages. So
after an hour the other tests go purple.

In the code,  when 2 tests fails it stop chec the device and send a =20
clear status.

in modules/dm_snmp.pm

   535        # We dont want to do every table if we are failing alot of wal=
ks
   536         if($failed_query > 2) {
   537           my $error_str =3D
   538             "Failed too many queries on $dev, aborting query";
   539           $data_out{'error'}{$error_str} =3D 1;
   540           send_data($sock, \%data_out);
   541           $session->close();
   542           next DEVICE;
   543         }


I have the same problem with memory on my pix.

But it never made the test go purple.

Actually i increase the test failure to 5. Many of the failure are due =20
to snmpget not working as snmpwalk does.

For my memroy test on some pix i did have a make result in a table;



--=20

[Devmon] "devmon tests go purple" issue

[Nathan H. <na...@ma...>]

I have some information regarding this bug.

Most switches support the CPUTotal5min oid which devmon happily  
displays in the cpu column. I have a 2900 switch running an older IOS  
which does not return any value for CPUTotal5min. When I use the 2900  
template on this old switch I get clear and/or purple messages for  
if_dsc, if_stat, if_load and if_err in addition to a clear and/or  
purple message for the cpu column.

If I modify the template to remove the CPUTotal5min oid from the cpu/ 
oids file, and remove the matching name from the cpu/message file,  
then all the other columns go green.

Similarly I have a number of HP servers with hpasm. I'm using the hp- 
server template to monitor power, fans, disks, raid, etc. I also have  
an older HP Windows 2000 server which doesn't support one of the oids  
- from memory I think it was resmem - and I get purple alerts for  
power, fans, disks, raid, etc. I had to remove resmem from the  
template before the other columns would go green.

Short summary:  If any single oid fails to retrieve then devmon stops  
collecting the rest of the oids in the template.

I've confirmed this hypothesis with with -f -p -vvvvvvvvvvv. Devmon  
says something about "too many failures" and "skipping device".  
Perhaps devmon should only skip that single column and still test the  
others.

I use it on my parc. So stable enough for me.

The Devmon 3 beta 3 only include bugfix.

With the Devmon 3 beta 4 

-working graphs for as much as is possible without significant work
-ship a few more templates for common hardware (that exhibits the graphs)


I still say that i have not this bug on the Devmon 3 beta 3 or on my wiki which is avalaible on svn trunk.

-try and understand and/or resolve the "devmon tests go purple" issue.

Re: [Devmon] negated threshold patch

[Morsiani, M. <mas...@gi...>]

Hi Buchan,

thanks for your prompt reply.
It's more clear now.

I made a mistake in my last email when I wrote

> Devmon 3 beta3 (the one available on Kaya wiki) is stable?

The right one is

> Is Devmon 3 beta 3 usable (frozen) or still in progress?

That is: Are you working on beta 4 or still working on beta 3?

Moreover.
I agree with you to use two two distinct packages (devmon core, =
template).

What do you think about using devmon-devel mailing list to submit/update =
templates?
Thank you.

I think splitting the software and the templates is fine. However, in =

Of course not, but it's better to have a single source repository =
accessible to everyone, with history (revision control), than for each =
user to have separate source trees and mail patches around (well, at =
least without using an RCS that supports this).

Re: [Devmon] negated threshold patch

[Morsiani, M. <mas...@gi...>]

Hi all,

instead of a day-by-day patching, is it possible to have a stable =
release?
Or even a devmon roadmap?

I'm a little bit confused because is not clear which is devmon evolution =
now.
Devmon 3 beta3 (the one available on Kaya wiki) is stable?

Buchan, Francois,
do you think to release a single package (devmon core + templates) on a =
regular basis?
Or do you think to release two distinct packages (devmon core, template) =
just like old owner?
And finally do you want to release everything using SVN only?

Thank you for your work.

[Devmon] Cisco ASA template

[Nathan H. <na...@ma...>]

Here is a template for Cisco ASA devices. Based on the templates written
by Lacroix Francois. I've added a monitor for the Active/Standby state
that will generate an alert if there is a failover and/or error
condition.

[Devmon] Checkpoint Firewall-1 (SPLAT) template

[Nathan H. <na...@ma...>]

Here is an updated version of my template (posted earlier) for
Checkpoint Firewall-1. Requires the "negated threshold" patch to
dm_tests.pm.

[Devmon] negated threshold patch

[Nathan H. <na...@ma...>]

I've attached a small patch to negate the threshold regexp with the "!"
symbol. This patch is necessary for the Checkpoint Firewall-1 (SPLAT)
template I have also attached.

Attached is the pix template that I'm using, which is designed around v6.3. I 
don't have access to a pix 7.x. Here is how we get values into rrd's using our 
template:

If you look at the fwmem, fwcpu, and fwconn message files, they are formatted to 
send the status message formatted so that NCV will pick up the values. eg:

  mp: {MemPercUsed}
  mt: {MemTotal}

To get this to populate rrd's you need an NCV line and related configuration in 
hobbitserver.cfg:

  TEST2RRD="cpu=la,(...bunch of stuff...),fwconn=ncv,fwcpu=ncv,fwmem=ncv"
  GRAPHS="la,(...bunch of stuff...),fwconn,fwcpu,fwmem"
...
  NCV_fwcpu="c1:GAUGE,c5:GAUGE,c15:GAUGE"
  NCV_fwconn="c:GAUGE,h:GAUGE"
  NCV_fwmem="mt:GAUGE,mp:GAUGE"

Note how the rrd definitions have matching datasource names (mp,mt,c1,c5,etc)

To get hobbit to generate graphs with these rrd's, you need appropriate graph 
definitions in hobbitgraph.cfg:

  [fwcpu]
    TITLE Cpu usage
    YAXIS Percent
    -u 100
    -l 0
    DEF:c1=fwcpu.rrd:c1:AVERAGE
    DEF:c5=fwcpu.rrd:c5:AVERAGE
    DEF:c15=fwcpu.rrd:c15:AVERAGE
    LINE1:c1#F0000F:Cpu usage
    GPRINT:c1:AVERAGE:mean\: %%%.0lf
    GPRINT:c1:LAST:current\: %%%.0lf
    GPRINT:c1:MAX:peak\: %%%.0lf\l
  [fwconn]
    TITLE Connections
    YAXIS Connections
    DEF:c=fwconn.rrd:c:AVERAGE
    DEF:h=fwconn.rrd:h:AVERAGE
    CDEF:cK=c,1000,/
    CDEF:hK=h,1000,/
    AREA:c#0055FF:Connections
    LINE1:c#000000
    GPRINT:cK:AVERAGE:mean\: %.3lfK
    GPRINT:cK:LAST:current\: %.3lfK
    GPRINT:cK:MAX:peak\: %.3lfK\l
    LINE2:h#FF0000:Historic Peak\:
    GPRINT:hK:MAX: %.3lfK\l
  [fwmem]
    TITLE Memory usage
    YAXIS Percent
    -u 100
    -l 0
    DEF:mp=fwmem.rrd:mp:AVERAGE
    DEF:mt=fwmem.rrd:mt:AVERAGE
    CDEF:mtM=mt,1048576,/
    AREA:mp#0055FF:Used
    LINE1:mp#000000
    GPRINT:mp:AVERAGE:mean\: %%%.0lf
    GPRINT:mp:LAST:current\: %%%.0lf
    GPRINT:mp:MAX:peak\: %%%.0lf\l
    GPRINT:mtM:LAST:Total Memory\: %.0lfM\l

I prefer the NCV approach because it is clearly defined and is a stable part of 
hobbit. The downside is having to maintain configuration for one thing in two 
config files. Our decision to stick with NCV was based upon keeping the 
complexity in the configuration instead of the executables so we don't have to 
track changes in a bunch of 3rd party scripts. Devmon has been an exception to 
the 3rd-party-scripts rule since it handles a major system (snmp) that isn't 
(yet) a core part of hobbit.

We've had good luck with using NCV to add graphs. The pix template that I've 
recently submitted is designed so that the message is formatted with that in 
mind. The downside is that it does require you to edit hobbitgraph.cfg and 
hobbitserver.cfg in order to add the NCV configuration options. On the positive 
side, once you've worked out a couple of these it's not too hard to remember how.

Re: [Devmon] Devmon enhancement request

[Stewart, T. L. <Tom...@la...>]

Here are some additional details. If we can get a TABLE with nohtml and
no ":" then I can use the standard "disk" column in Hobbit to graph by
setting the message file to output and look like a normal disk column in
Hobbit.=20

The problem is that I don't know any way to display branch data without
a "TABLE:"

Here is the oids file:
NSDiskName      : .1.3.6.1.4.1.5951.4.1.1.41.8.1.1      : branch
NSDiskSize      : .1.3.6.1.4.1.5951.4.1.1.41.8.1.2      : branch
NSDiskAvail     : .1.3.6.1.4.1.5951.4.1.1.41.8.1.3      : branch
NSDiskUsed      : .1.3.6.1.4.1.5951.4.1.1.41.8.1.4      : branch
NSDiskPerUse    : .1.3.6.1.4.1.5951.4.1.1.41.8.1.5      : branch


Here is the message file:

TABLE:
Filesystem|Size|Used|Available|Percent Used    =20
{NSDiskName}|{NSDiskSize} MB|{NSDiskUsed} MB|{NSDiskAvail}
MB|{NSDiskPerUse.color} {NSDiskPerUse}%

Can you provide your messages file, and the format of the data that
devmon is=20
sending (from view->source on the hobbit page for the test)?

In my pix/fwsm template (I posted them), I am using 'conns' name, with Devmon 
RRD (requiring an extra-script such as my extra-rrd.pl) to graph the number 
of connections.

Since I don't think it is currently feasible to get all graphs we want into 
Hobbit with existing hobbit support, I think it would be best (for now) to 
ship a devmon extra script (one which uses the RRD information created by the 
rrd option). In future, we can integrate the support for this into Hobbit, or 
switch to the new trends feature in 4.3.

I don't think we should abuse the ports test name for this, because the data 
is different (just the number of connections, no detail etc.).

If you want to alert on the same data, I don't think sending a 'data' message 
will work. So, 'status' is the only option for now.

I'd rather ship a release that has graphs that work as soon as possible (even 
if that requires running one extra script in hobbit) than delay shipping a 
solution because we want a perfect one. Im-perfect graphs are better than 
none.

Re: [Devmon] Active connexion questions

[xbgmsharp <xbg...@gm...>]

Hello all,

A lot of work have been done today. easy graphing CPU load% and memory %.

But here is a another point.
It is usefull do know (graph) the number of active connexion on any 
network device.
In the mean time i am trying to do it for Pix and F5.

The problem is:

Hobbit know how to graph process count, it is done via the procs/ports 
tests (colunm) then by sending data intead of status.
What do you think should be done:
 1. make devmon sending directly a data to graph, so no test colunm only 
graph
 2. Create a test (colunm) and then do nvc or extra-scritp in order to 
graph.

Francois

Re: [Devmon] New Template cisco-pix6 cisco-pix702 cisco-pix706

[xbgmsharp <xbg...@gm...>]

I figure out how to graph out of the box the memory.

First hobbit look for this word:
Physical or Swap or Actual
then i take the pourcentage of it. only digit (eg 25%).

So in your memory message, you need to have line like this:

Physical {nice_mem_used_per}%

So if you don't want to show it do like for CPU
<!-- DEVMON to RRD Physical {mem_used_per}%
-->

In your tranfrom:
mem_used_per : MATH : ({mem_used} x 100) / {mem_total} : 0


EG the documentation:
    Decimal precision can also be controlled via an additional
    variable seperated from the main expression via a colon:

       transTime : MATH : ((({sysUpTime}/100) ^ 2 ) x 15) + 10 : 4
 
    This would ensure that the transTime alias would have a
    precision value (zero padded, if needed) of exactly 4 characters
    (i.e. 300549.3420).  The default value is 2 precision characters.
    To remove the decimal characters alltogether, specify a value of 0.

And a graph appear.



FOr the CPU like in many template you need:

<!-- DEVMON to RRD <br>CPU 5 min average: {CPUTotal5Min}
-->

It will graph %  as load.

Francois
