hobbit + bb-xsnmp.pl

No sorry.  We don't have brocade switches, we have a set of mcdata
switches that I am monitoring with the older bb-brocade.pl script.  I
don't run the newer brocade.pl script.  
bb-brocade.pl doesn't really return anything worth graphing just
straight monitoring:
Switch status is online
Administrative status is online
Etc.

We are looking to replace the mcdata switches with some kind of director
class switch, so I haven't been too interested in them.

Is anyone monitoring a cisco MDS?

Have you also modified the brocade.pl output for hobbit graph ?

In case this can help anyone else I have included Dan's patch and
all
the various fixes I have for bb-xsnmp.pl and put it up to deadcat:
http://www.deadcat.net/viewfile.php?fileid=929
The 1.78_beta (my main starting point) was from Ben Pitzer who has
done
a lot of work getting the script working.  I have not been able to
get
back in touch with him though as my last contact was over a year
ago.
(just want to give credit were credit is due).

I hope others find this as useful as I have.
Butch

The script was empty:)
Thanks for the info though, I really like the idea of it pinging
before checking. Also, I got hobbit to graph temperature by hacking
it
to spit out the format that hobbit likes. Note hobbit expects the
third column to be degrees F, where as I just print the threshold.
Since the thresholds aren't really acurate (Some say 750C, some say
65535C, etc), and hobbit doesn't use the F column, I just put it
there
for good measure.

Since a diff wouldn't do you any good either, here are the lines

I've

changed:


(line 2981, inside sub temperature_message)    # compose message
    $message = "status $commahost.$test $worstcolor
".scalar(localtime)."\n\n";
    my @indices = sort { $a <=> $b } keys(%statedb);
    foreach my $index (@indices) {
    my $description=$descrdb{$index};
    $description=~s/ |:|-|\(|\)|\\|\//_/g;
    $description=~s/__/_/g;
    $description=lc($description);
      $message .= '&'.$colordb{$index}."
$description\t".$valuedb{$index}."\t".$threshdb{$index}."\n";
    } # foreach my $index (@indices)

The only thing I have to work on now is splitting the graphs. My
7609's have 47 temperature sensors apiece:)

Thanks again for the help.

I have a version of bb-xsnmp.pl running directly under hobbit.

Most

of

the graphs already work with the hobbit server.
I ripped out all the bb-combo.sh stuff as hobbit doesn't have
combo.sh
but that is just to get it to run under the hobbit server.
I also added support for querying the hobbit server to see if a
conn
test is red to prevent hangs.  This was a bigger deal as I would
find
that bb-xsnmp.pl would hang if a small non-important device
failed
such
as a wireless access point and all the other devices would go
purple
instantly.
I could give the patches but my version of bb-xsnmp.pl is based
on a
beta version I received from someone else that fixed other
issues,
so I
will include the whole thing.

I put this in hobbitlaunch.cfg:
[xsnmp]
        ENVFILE /local/HOBBIT/hobbit/client/etc/hobbitclient.cfg
        NEEDS hobbitd
        CMD /local/HOBBIT/hobbit/server/ext/bb-xsnmp.pl
        LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/bb-xsnmp.log
        INTERVAL 5m
I have it testing several APC UPS units with environment monitors
(temperature graph doesn't work but monitoring does)

5 netapp servers for : cpu disk fans power temperature uptime
Cpu, disk, and inode graphs work

65xx IOS routers/switches for : cpu uptime memory power fans
temperature
bgp
Cpu graph works but temperature is totally unusable

65xx CatOS switches for : uptime memory power fans temperature

Cisco 12xx wireless access points for: cpu memory
Cpu graph works.

I hope this helps
BTW, I also run these from the Hobbit server:
aironet.pl
bb-ospf.pl
bb-xsnmp.pl
bb-brocade.pl
bb-liebert.pl

And these on various clients:
bb-cpu2.sh
bb-prtdiag.sh
emc-clarrion.sh
ntpstat.sh
bb-msgs.sh
bb-raid.sh
sge.sh
bb-ntp.sh
bb-vxcheck.sh

Hey has anyone got the configs to get bb-xsnmp.pl to work with
hobbit
rrd and graphing?
Henrik I saw you offered to do it here:

http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2005/04/msg00080.html

But I can't find much else regarding it.

Thanks
