Hi Stefan,

it works now. Thanks!!

If the snmp values is incrementing counters, not concurrent value, how should I do to show the avarage value in the duration in the BigSister?

I have posted a question about how to modify the mail subject in bigister but no one answer me. Do you know how to do so? Actually, i just need to add 1 words in the begine of the subject.

Appeciate your kind support!!

Linda

Hi Linda,

I found a solution to your problem:

first create a file called snmpvar.cfg inside the folder etc/graphdef

this file should look like this:

graph snmpvar_currconn

input single.FilerCpuBusy.(\d*)
value-type gauge
input-limits 0..1000
input-interval $shortInterval
input-deadtime $shortDeadTime

graph-id $HOST.FilerCpuBusy%
legend % Filer is busy

maxcombine 4
scale 0..100
unit-label %
size 400x120
title Filer is Busy

then just restart bs and that should be all.

let me know if it worked....

Regards

Stefan

try the following line

filer(filer) upper-red=50 lower-red=30 lower-yellow=0 upper-yellow=0 item=cpu variable=FilerCpuBusy snmpvar

this should report what you want

I have no idea about how to specify MIB1 or MIB2 but try to correct your uxmon-line from

filer(filer)        community=public type=FilerCpuBusy snmp item=cpu

to

filer(filer)        item=cpu variable=FilerCpuBusy snmpvar

it's doesn't work.

1.I modify the etc/mibs.txt.

#
# NetApp Filer
#
FilerCpuBusy 1.3.6.1.4.1.789.1.2.1.3.0

2.I make sure the mib works

snmpget -cpublic -v1 abc 1.3.6.1.4.1.789.1.2.1.3.0
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.789.1.2.1.3.0 = INTEGER: 53

3.filer(filer)        community=public type=FilerCpuBusy snmp item=cpu

4.restart bigsister

I can't find any error or message about this item. How to fix it?

Hi,

insert the mib numbers and descriptions in etc/mibs.txt, for example some performance mibs:

#Performance Counter OID's
MicrosoftNTServer 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.1.1.3.1.2
ntsystemSysUpTime .1.3.6.1.4.1.311.1.1.3.1.1.9.10.0
memoryAvailableMBytes .1.3.6.1.4.1.311.1.1.3.1.1.1.30.0
tcpCurrEstab .1.3.6.1.2.1.6.9.0
SystemProcesses .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.6.0

and then insert the following in uxmon-net:

hostxyz item=OS variable=ntsystemSysUpTime snmpvar
hostxyz item=conn variable=tcpCurrEstab snmpvar
hostxyz item=OS variable=SystemProcesses snmpvar

Regards,

Stefan

I want to monitor a device by BigSister using SNMP. I have this device's MIB file and it's MIB-I. How can I do so and how to modify uxmon-net?

Thanks

Linda
