Re: SNMP Password limitation

Post by Box293 »

Can you upgrade RRDTool and see if that solves the problem:

Code: Select all

cd /tmp
wget http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/pub/rrdtool-1.4.4.tar.gz
tar -xzf rrdtool-1.4.4.tar.gz
cd /tmp/rrdtool-1.4.4
./configure --bindir=/usr/bin
make clean
make install

service restart npcd

I think I might be going down the wrong troubleshooting path here. I think upgrading rrdtool is only necessary when rrdcached is also used.

Re: SNMP Password limitation

Post by JohnFLi »

here is a little somethign that I did discover. for a bit (under bandwidth) it was saying

Code: Select all

/var/lib/mrtg/DC-N5K-S2_16883712.rrd does not exist.
When I went through the wizard, I used the switch name in all uppercase, hence the DC-N5K-S2 being in upper case. The error message technically was correct.

The reason it was 'technically' correct is becasue on the nagios server, it made the rrd files in all lower case. dc-n5k-s2_16883712.rrd is the file that was made in that directory, not DC-N5K-S2_16883712.rrd

To fix that, I went into the service for the bandwidths, and changed $ARG1$ to be in lowercase (for all of them) After applying, things started working better

Code: Select all

	fc1/47 Bandwidth	Ok	19m 1s	1/5	02/17/2015 08:41:11	OK - Current BW in: .19Gbps Out: .11Gbps
not sure how accurate those numbers as though..

Also, I see 5 ports that do not have a bandwidth service attached to it.

My mistake.....
I discovered if the switch port is administatively down, it doesn't add a check for it. Makes sense I suppose, but I would actually rather have it add the down ports, just have the wizard de-activate them.

No problem, do you have further topically relevant issues that need resolution, or should we lock it up?
