I am trying to use MRTG to monitor a Cisco ONS (Optical Network Switch). This ONS is a carrier class switch used in telecommunications. The ONS is sitting on an OC-48 sonnet ring and is tied to an identical ONS at our remote location over an OC-3 overlay. The OC-3 overlay is a 155Mb connection.
I downloaded the Cisco SONNET mibs from Cisco's website and used cfgmaker to make a configfile with a statement to Load MIBs using the LoadMIBs: /location/mibname.mib line file for this ONS box. If I look at the config file, I get the following: # Created by # /usr/local/mrtg-2/bin/cfgmaker --global 'WorkDir: /usr/local/www/ITWeb/MRTG' --global 'Options[_]: growright, bits' --global 'Unscaled[_]: ymw' --global 'Refresh: 300' --global 'Interval: 5' --global 'WriteExpires: Yes' --global 'LoadMIBs: /usr/local/mrtg-2/mibs/CISCO-SONET-CAPABILITY.mib,/usr/local/mrtg-2/ mibs/CISCO-SONET-EXT-CAPABILITY.mib,/usr/local/mrtg-2/mibs/CISCO-SONET- MIB.mib' --dns-domain=coxnews.net --community=***** --show-op-down --no-down fcpp-ons ### Global Config Options # for UNIX # WorkDir: /home/http/mrtg # or for NT # WorkDir: c:\mrtgdata ### Global Defaults # to get bits instead of bytes and graphs growing to the right # Options[_]: growright, bits WorkDir: /usr/local/www/ITWeb/MRTG Options[_]: growright, bits Unscaled[_]: ymw Refresh: 300 Interval: 5 WriteExpires: Yes LoadMIBs: /usr/local/mrtg-2/mibs/CISCO-SONET-CAPABILITY.mib,/usr/local/mrtg-2/ mibs/CISCO-SONET-EXT-CAPABILITY.mib,/ usr/local/mrtg-2/mibs/CISCO-SONET-MIB.mib ###################################################################### # System: ONS-FCPP # Description: Cisco 15454 03.03-001K-15.01 # Contact: Brandon Anastasoff 404-557-4495 / Phil Groen 404-557-4452 # Location: 72 Marietta St., Atlanta GA 30303 ###################################################################### ### Interface 1 >> Descr: '' | Name: '' | Ip: '***.***.26.15' | Eth: '' ### ### The following interface is commented out because: ### * has a speed of which makes no sense ### * got 'Received SNMP response with error code ### error status: noSuchName ### index 1 (OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.1) ### SNMPv1_Session (remote host: "fcpp-ons" [***.***.26.15].161) ### community: "public" ### request ID: -1020141238 ### PDU bufsize: 8000 bytes ### timeout: 2s ### retries: 5 ### backoff: 1)' from interface when trying to query # # Target[fcpp-ons.coxnews.net_1]: 1:[EMAIL PROTECTED]: # SetEnv[fcpp-ons.coxnews.net_1]: MRTG_INT_IP="***.***.26.15" MRTG_INT_DESCR="" # MaxBytes[fcpp-ons.coxnews.net_1]: 0 # Title[fcpp-ons.coxnews.net_1]: Traffic Analysis for 1 -- ONS-FCPP # PageTop[fcpp-ons.coxnews.net_1]: <H1>Traffic Analysis for 1 -- ONS-FCPP</H1> # <TABLE> # <TR><TD>System:</TD> <TD>ONS-FCPP in 72 Marietta St., Atlanta GA 30303</TD></TR> # <TR><TD>Maintainer:</TD> <TD>Brandon Anastasoff 404-557-4495 / Phil Groen 404-557-4452</TD></TR> # <TR><TD>Description:</TD><TD> </TD></TR> # <TR><TD>ifType:</TD> <TD> ()</TD></TR> # <TR><TD>ifName:</TD> <TD></TD></TR> # <TR><TD>Max Speed:</TD> <TD>0.0 Bytes/s</TD></TR> # <TR><TD>Ip:</TD> <TD> ***.***.26.15 (fcpp-ons.coxnews.net)</TD></TR> # </TABLE> I find it quite interesting that cfgmaker created a complete config file for this ONS box, but commented out every line because "The following interface is commented out because: * has a speed of which makes no sense". Any suggestions, or any one else using MRTG to monitor commercial grade telco equipment?
