Hey all,
 Just installed DevMon and started putting my cisco switches in and it's
reporting unpopulated GBIC slots as down.

 Anyone have suggestions on how to fix this?

Yikes.  I havent seen that before, but I have done a little bit
of playing around /w 64 bit counters and didn't get anything too
crazy.  I'll take a look at this.

Could have something to do with it, but as long as they don't roll
more than once per polling interval, we should be okay.  What do
you have your polling interval set for?

Nope, didn't seem to fix it. Though I was running the newest version,
I downloaded it again, rm -r'd the old dir, killed the devmons, tar
-zxvf'd the new one and cp'd the .cfg back over. I then copied the
cisco-6509 to cisco-7609 and changed the spec file.

It's still saying stuff like "297528.13 Tbps (297528129.95%)".

I wonder, could the fact that my counters roll over every 2 minutes be
the cause?

Thanks

Know of any issue when polling a counter64 stat ?  Still playing with my
BigIP, when I add the line to my oids file

sysTmTotal      : .1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.1.1.2.1.41.0      : leaf

and I run "./devmon -vvvv -f" I get:

Cannot restore overloading on HASH(0x8f69814) (package Math::BigInt) at
../../lib/Storable.pm (autosplit into ../../lib/auto/Storable/thaw.al)
line 358, <$__ANONIO__> line 21, at
/data/BB/devmon-dev/modules/dm_snmp.pm line 176

Insanity reigns! Yay!

This is almost certainly a counter-wrap bug.  What
version of devmon are you using, and could you please tell
me the size of your modules/dm_tests.pm file?  I believe
the "latest and greatest" has as file size of 66279.

I also had to update many of the templates to fix this=20
counter-wrap bug (if_err, if_dsc and if_load, specifically).
Check to make sure you are doing the DELTA transform on
un-transformed data (i.e. ifInOctets and not ifInBits).  If
you aren't, then you can either download the latest tarball
from sourceforge and get the fixed templates from there,
or edit them by hand (in case you made changes that you want
to preserve).

There was an email a yesterday (titled 'RE: [Devmon] Beta 0.1.1
incorrect load reported') that covered the specifics of who,
what, when, where and whys of this whole thing.

Sorry for the insanity :)

I've got devmon working fairly well, except I'm having some issues
with what appears to be just 7609/Cisco GSRs.

They are interconnected two each other via a 1gbps fibre link, and
their interfaces often go red with devmon, and show the following:

Gi2/2 [L3 conn to 7609-2]=091.00 Gbps=09green 99.71 Mbps (0.10%)=09red
323627.09 Tbps (323627088.71%)

Whoa! I'm not complaing about that much speed, but I'm pretty sure I
don't have it.

On a connection similiar to that one, it's perfectly reasonable:

Gi2/1 [iBGP Link to 7609-2t]=091.00 Gbps=09green 22.83 Mbps (0.02%)=09green
18.80 Mbps (0.02%)

(The percentages are off, but I can fix that.)

Then, I have a crazy OC12 Connection:

PO5/0 [Sprint OC12]=09622.00 Mbps=09green 307445.73 Tbps
(494285746.27%)=09green 32.70 Mbps (0.05%)

Wowzers!

Here's a perfectly sane OC12 below it:

PO6/0 [ATT OC12]=09622.00 Mbps=09green 171.85 Mbps (0.28%)=09green 99.28 Mb=
ps (0.16%)

So that leads me to believe that my setup/transforms/etc are fine, as
50% of them seem sane. Any hints on where I can look for issues?

Thanks

Dan

I updated those two updated modules for 0.1.1-beta (dm_config.pm,
dm_snmp.pm). But I think I was mistaken when I reported that -c worked.
Seems devmon was just using my old devmon.cfg. I did not realize this
until this morning when I deleted that old file.
=20
-bash-2.05b$ ./devmon -c devmon-dev.cfg
[06-03-02@11:26:11] Can't find config file /usr/local/devmon/devmon.cfg
(No such file or directory)

=20

That should work just fine, I understood it.

Thanks

Okay, I've added this to the top of the "docs/INSTALLATION" file:
=20
<snip>
 A quick Devmon overview
---------------------------------------------------------------------
  The way Devmon works is fairly simple.  Here's the gist of it:
  1. An outside process (most likely devmon running with the
     --readbbhosts flag) updates the Devmon database from the
     Hobbit or BigBrother bb-hosts file.
     In a single-node installation, the Devmon database is stored
     in the 'hosts.db' file.  In a multi-node installation, it
     is kept in a MySQL database.
  2. Devmon reads in its templates.  A single-node installation
     reads the templates from disk at the beginning of every
     polling cycle.  The multi-node version reads the templates
     from the database, but only if they have been updated/changed
     since the last time it read them.
  3. Devmon does SNMP queries on all of the devices in its database.
     SNMP queries are optimized so that if the same SNMP OID is
     specified in multiple tests for a device, it is only queried
     once.
  4. Devmon applies template logic against the returned SNMP data.
     The involves doing transforms, applying thresholds, and then
     finally rendering the message to be sent to the display server.
  5. Devmon sends the rendered messages to the Display server.
  6. Devmon sleeps for any remaining time in the poll cycle.
  7. Return to step #1 (although the interval at which your
     external process updates your devmon database might not
     be the same as your poll interval, so Devmon might actually
     go to step #2 at this point).
</snip>
=20
And changed the devmon "usage" statement to appear as follows:
=20
<snip>
Usage: devmon [arguments]

  Arguments:
   -c    Specify alternate config file (i.e. -c /etc/devmon.cfg)
   -f    Run in foreground.  Prevents running in daemon mode.
   -p    Print message.  Don't send message to display server, instead
         print it to stdout
   -v    Verbose mode.  The more v's, the more vebose logging.

  Mutually exclusive arguments:
   Note: all of these arguments cause Devmon to exit after
         performing the action listed in the argument, without
         sending any data to your display server.

   --readbbhosts   Read in data from the BigBrother/Hobbit hosts file,
                   write it to the hosts database.
   --syncconfig    Update multinode DB with the global config options
                   configured on this local node.
   --synctemplates Update multinode device templates with the template
                   data on this local node.
   --resetowners   Reset multinode device ownership data.  This will
                   cause all nodes to recalculate ownership data.

</snip>

Let me know if this clears or muddies the water for you.

Yes, I think you should explain the purpose of the hosts.db file, and
mention that devmon --readbbhosts's only purpose is to keep this file
up to date. That way, not only will us sysadmins not only have a
better understanding of the fundamentals, there will also be a place
the the docs explaining what bbreadhosts does.

Thanks

I've confirmed this on our own BigIP boxes (which are also 1500s).
However, it looks like the counters might actually be legitamate.

Try sshing into your bigip boxen and running a top;  if its
anything like ours, top will show the cpu pegged at 100%, with the
'tmm' process using most of it. =20

This is on a box that isnt really doing anything, either (and yet,
laLoad1, 5 & 10 all report "1.00" or something really close to it).

Perhaps the laLoad values need to be multiplied by 100 ;)

Yes, I think you should explain the purpose of the hosts.db file, and
mention that devmon --readbbhosts's only purpose is to keep this file
up to date. That way, not only will us sysadmins not only have a
better understanding of the fundamentals, there will also be a place
the the docs explaining what bbreadhosts does.

Thanks

The documentation could be at fault.  I don't think I really mention
anywhere that the --readbbhosts flag causes Devmon to exit after
reading in the bb-hosts file.  Comments?

Changing from * to x help make the error go away. Still seeing same
results for CPU usage. A LoadAverage of 1 with 1 cpu in the server,
ussually means 100% CPU usage.  And with the CPU% stats adding up to
100, these 2 stats  seem to validate each other. To bad the box is
really sitting there doing nothing, tho.

I will probably have to open a case with F5, or get more access to the
BigIp...

Holy cow, that was the problem. I can't believe I misinterpreted that.

Isuspect the problem, in both cases, is that you're using

*

as the multiplication symbol. The templates doc says:

       'x'           (Multiplication)

I would venture to guess that is your problem:)

Don't let it get to you though, I made the same mistake:)

Ok,

I am trying to make a cpu template for my F5-BigIPs 1500s. So basically
they are Linux Oses, and I am pulling CPU starts from the UCD-SNMP-MIB,
My oids file follows:
sysUpTime       : .1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.1.6.6.0   : leaf
laLoad1         : .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.3.1    : leaf
laLoad5         : .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.3.2    : leaf
laLoad10        : .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.3.3    : leaf
ssCpuRawUser    : .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.50.0     : leaf
ssCpuRawNice    : .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.51.0     : leaf
ssCpuRawSystem  : .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.52.0     : leaf
ssCpuRawIdle    : .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.53.0     : leaf

My transforms follows:
sysUpTimeSecs   : MATH          : {sysUpTime} / 100
UpTimeTxt       : ELAPSED       : {sysUpTimeSecs}
StatusLoad      : MATH          : {laLoad5} * 100
CpuUser         : DELTA         : {ssCpuRawUser}
CpuNice         : DELTA         : {ssCpuRawNice}
CpuSystem       : DELTA         : {ssCpuRawSystem}
CpuIdle         : DELTA         : {ssCpuRawIdle}

Now my report looks like:
28 days, 06:14:55 (hh:mm:ss), , loadaverage: 1.00, 1.00, 1.00

CPU States:	cpu   user   nice  system   idle
	      total   70.22   0.01  29.81  0.01

The problem is this BigIP is not doing anything, that is why I am
testing against it. So why am I getting a load average of 1, and CPU%
adds up to 100%.  Did I do something wrong with the data ?  If it looks
like I did everything right, I will open a case with F5, on why I am
getting bad infor from SNMP.

Problem 2:
The cron'ed job 'devmon --readbbhosts' keeps returning this error to me:
[06-03-01@21:10:04] MATH transform contains non-math symbols
at/data/BB/devmon-dev/templates/f5-bigip/cpu/transforms, line 7

Thanks for any help,
  Steven

Glad to help :)

Well, That highlighted a dumb error on my part. I had the IP address
wrong and have been monitoring a PIX Firewall instead of the 2821 router
for a while now. No wonder devmon had a problem with the sysdesc field.
The template is mostly working now.

Thanks again for devmon, It is a great tool

Hi Dan,

I *think* the problem that you are having is that you are
running devmon with the --readbbhosts flag;  this flag tells
devmon to read the bbhosts file into the database and then quit,
which I what I think is happening here.

Try running it like this:=20
./devmon -vv -p=20
(the -p flag implies -f as welli, I should probably document that :)

If you've previously run devmon with the --readbbhosts flag, and
devmon has created the hosts.db file in the devmon directory, then it
should read in from that file, poll your hosts, do the logic, and spit
out your message.

The design reasoning behind the --readbbhosts flag, and why I didnt=20
just make devmon read the bbhosts file every poll cycle, is twofold
(you can probably skip reading this, I just like typing):

1) The fact that running a multi-node cluster, you probably  dont want
to run the devmon process on your display machine, but want to farm it
out to dedicated devmon polling servers.  The readbbhosts flag makes=20
it so that you can import your bb-hosts file into the cluster database,
without having to actually run devmon on the display machine.

2) Reading the bb-hosts file and querying the hosts takes a little =
while,
since devmon queries every host in the bb-hosts file, every time (making
no assumptions as to whether hosts that were there during the last=20
auto-discovery are the same hosts that are there on this one;  people=20
have been known to swap out devices with different vendor/models and not
change the bb-hosts ip or hostname).  So I didnt want this =
auto-discovery
phase to interfere with polling times. =20

Subject: [Devmon] problem getting devmon to work
=20
My devmon is close, but still not working. Here's what I've done:

Made a new template for a cisco 7609, just changed the spec, is about
all - it's just like a 6509.

Put devmon next to the appropriate line in bb-hosts, like this:

<ip>     gsr-east.domain # ssh !telnet DEVMON

Configured my devmon.cfg:

MULTINODE=3DNO
BBHOSTS=3D/home/monitor/server/etc/bb-hosts
BBTAG=3DDEVMON
SNMPCIDS=3Dmycid,public,private
NODENAME=3DHOSTNAME
PIDFILE=3D/var/run/devmon/devmon.pid
LOGFILE=3D/var/log/hobbit/devmon.log
DBHOST=3Dlocalhost
DBNAME=3Ddevmon
DBUSER=3Ddevmon
DBPASS=3Ddevmon
BBTYPE=3Dhobbit
DISPSERV=3Dlocalhost
DISPPORT=3D1984
MSGSIZE=3D8096
MSGSLEEP=3D10
CYCLETIME=3D60
DEADTIME=3D180
CLEARTIME=3D180
NUMFORKS=3D10
MAXPOLLTIME=3D30
SNMPTIMEOUT=3D2
SNMPTRIES=3D5

And run this:

$ sudo -u monitor ./devmon -vvvvv -p -f --readbbhosts
[06-03-01@15:15:32] SNMP querying all hosts in bb-hosts file, please =
wait...
[06-03-01@15:15:32] Querying pre-existing hosts
[06-03-01@15:15:32] Discovered gsr-east.domain as a cisco 7609

And that's all I get. I thought I'd be getting the same messages it's
sending hobbit, but i'm not seeing them.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Dan

Well, That highlighted a dumb error on my part. I had the IP address
wrong and have been monitoring a PIX Firewall instead of the 2821 router
for a while now. No wonder devmon had a problem with the sysdesc field.
The template is mostly working now.

Thanks again for devmon, It is a great tool

Craig
