Hi,
I have configured hobbit to monitor cpu and disk space on a cisco call
manager device using devmon/snmp.
I assume you created a new template for this device? I can help more if you post the template (more appropriate for the devmon list though). Also, what OS does it run ? Windows server ?
(while we have Cisco call managers in the company, I don't monitor or have any access to them, but I've been meaning to work on templates for Windows servers for devmon, and that I can test myself)
Also, I would prefer to let everyone benefit from investments users make in creating templates, so once it is working, please consider sending it to me to include (or, file a bug on the devmon SF tracker) and attach the templates to that.
The CPU test returns the values for each processors load as a percentage
(INTEGER) and hobbit displays these values, however no graph is created
automatically.
Most of the current cisco templates shipped with devmon should result in a working CPU graph, I have them for cisco-6509, cisco-7207, cisco-asa etc.
E.g.: http://devmon.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/devmon/trunk/templates/cisco-6509/cpu/message?revision=28&view=markup
Creating a custom graph is my last option, but I would
hope that like other cisco devices that a graph could be created
automatically using the values returned by devmon.
For Disk Usage I have worked out the percentage used with some simple
MATH in the transforms file and this is also being displayed properly on
the disk page for this device, however the graph is not displaying these
values correctly. Before I started using the transforms to get the
percentage of disk space used, devmon was configured to simply get the
number of bytes used on one volume. This created a graph (although it
was constantly at 0%). After tidying up the test to list all four
volumes and the percentage of disk space used, the graph is no longer
reporting any values.
The linux-openwrt template works nicely (the formatting isn't quite the same as sent by the hobbit client, but graphing works fine) for me on disks on linux (on WRT54GL, and normal linux host) monitored via snmp:
http://devmon.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/devmon/trunk/templates/linux-
openwrt/disk/message?revision=38&view=markup
(the "plain" option for TABLE allows one to try and get something closer to what the Hobbit rrd modules expect).
Can somebody help me get the graph to display the percentage of disk
space used for the 4 volumes I am monitoring and to start graphing the
percentage of CPU usage for 2 CPU's.
If you can't come right with the examples above, it would help to see some of the data you get via SNMP, and your existing template (at least the 'message' files).
Note, these are the two devmon tests that can create graphs without the devmon collector for Hobbit.
