Cisco switches?
list Jason Chambers
Is anyone out there monitoring cisco switches over snmp? I'd be interested to know if anyone is doing this and is graphing the traffic on it.

Devmon is a great tool for incorporating SNMP polling of devices. You can find it at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/devmon

Thanks for your suggestions guys, but I just want to incorporate the graphs into hobbit as a one stop lookout and alerting.

I use bb-xsnmp.pl from deadcat primarily to monitor many cisco switches from Hobbit. Most data is already configured to be graphed by the server.

I use cacti, and plain 'ol mrtg. Probably will just switch purely over to cacti eventually. mrtg incororates well straight into hobbit.

Now my curiosity is piqued - for those of us unfamiliar with Cacti and MRTG, which path is the easiest to pursue so that Cisco switches (or anything SNMP) can be monitored within Hobbit? Is there some documentation available someplace that discusses this configuration? -TM

Cacti is a whole seperate animal. For MRTG, Just look at your hobbit help menu: http://<name of hobbit server>/hobbit/help/hobbit-mrtg.html That has a whole thing on integrating MRTG into hobbit. -Jeff

Cacti is going to allow you to graph many different things but the bb-xsnmp has the logic built in to check different things like load, heat, power supply redundancy, etc Mine checks BGP, cpu load, fans, memory, power, temperature, uptime for cisco switches/routers It also gets info from our netapp servers, such as cpu, disk, fans, inode, power, power, uptime And our APC ups systems, such as power, sys, temperature It is not as integrated with Hobbit as I would like, but works quite well. The main thing is that on the server that runs it, I keep a bb-cputab and bb-dftab just for the netapp servers which it checks in the hobbit/server/etc folder.
