hi. i'm quite successfully polling my test network and outputting to graphite. i've hinted at this one before in a previous message, but i'm still stumped on how to solve. hoping someone here can give me an idea or two.
if i query a specific if-index for queue drops, i get four results back for the default switch port queues. snmpwalk -v 2c -c public fsaa-rs1 jnxCosIfqTailDropPkts.516 JUNIPER-COS-MIB::jnxCosIfqTailDropPkts.516."best-effort" = Counter64: 9681 JUNIPER-COS-MIB::jnxCosIfqTailDropPkts.516."network-control" = Counter64: 0 JUNIPER-COS-MIB::jnxCosIfqTailDropPkts.516."assured-forwarding" = Counter64: 0 JUNIPER-COS-MIB::jnxCosIfqTailDropPkts.516."expedited-forwarding" = Counter64: 0 in types.db.custom i've added this: if_qdrop drops:COUNTER:0:U collectd.conf has: <Data "if_qdrop"> Type "if_qdrop" Table true Values "JUNIPER-COS-MIB::jnxCosIfqTailDropPkts.516" </Data> <Host "fsaa-rs1"> Address "10.1.1.121" Version 2 Community "public" Collect "sys_ex_rack" "if_bytes" "if_qdrop" Interval 60 </Host> unfortunately the output to the whisper files and ultimately graphite look like this: http://cl.ly/image/3M0C3V021v0r also unfortunately is that the switch doesn't seem to support to the jnxCosIfqIfIndex within the mib structure, which would have obviously made my life a lot easier for having been able to reference it for the directory structure (much like ifIndex). i opened a case with juniper, and it just isn't supported on the platform. so what i'm trying to achieve is somehow munge the data from JUNIPER-COS-MIB::jnxCosIfqTailDropPkts which will return four values for each interface, have that data structured individually with nice names under the existing interface index value which already contains the if_bytes information per interface. (if_bytes is basically std_traffic) is there something in the way of filters or data manipulation within collectd that i've yet to discover? currently my thought is to fire up another collectd instance and query specifically for this data, but instead of writing to graphite have it write to some other place for me to bash on it before sending to my graphite cluster. i hope that makes some sense. and i hope someone has come up against and solved this problem already :) thanks kindly. ryan _______________________________________________ collectd mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.verplant.org/listinfo/collectd
