Hi folks,

We've recently deployed some 4500/Sup7Es - pretty cool box, but we've run into 
problems with our network monitoring system. With the dual core architecture of 
the Sup7E, SNMP no longer returns correct CPU utilisation values. Cisco 
suggested using the old school SNMP MIB for the 7500 and similar, but it 
doesn't return multiple counters.

root@monitor1:~# snmpwalk -v2c -c com switch1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.109.1.1.1.1.5
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.9.9.109.1.1.1.1.5.3000 = Gauge32: 17
root@monitor1:~#

The TAC lodged a bug for this (CSCti07144), but that doesn't really help me 
now. Had a chat with a few of the folks at Cisco Live in Melbourne last week, 
the general consensus is that bugs in SNMP won't be fixed anymore, and that we 
should be using NETCONF.

OK, cool, I'm happy with that, but I can't actually find very much useful stuff 
about NETCONF at all. We're a Nagios/OSS/homegrown shop, so I've got no 
problems integrating it, but it still seems very much at the "here's an 
prototype library" stage.

Are there any monitoring packages that actually do it? Is anyone using it as a 
general NMS platform for things like CPU > x%?

Thanks all,



- I.
