Hi Stuart, Thank you for the advice...this has saved me a lot of time. Actually, we usually just monitor active users, throughput and CPU/Memory. We then use a .cgi menu to add the graphs to a webpage.
All the best, James. -----Original Message----- From: Stuart Kendrick [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 18 March 2003 01:28 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Monitoring Cisco VPN Concentrator 3000 Hi James, Here is how I monitor my Altiga 3000s. Briefly, I don't want two parameters on these graphs ... when I'm monitoring CPU Utilization, for instance ... I don't want to see anything else on the graph. So I pick some other variable which I believe will stay rock-solid at zero ... alHardwareCpuTempCount.0, for example. Active Sessions, CPU Util, and Throughput are the variables I watch. I should probably add ifInOctets/ifOutOctets on both interfaces, too. What else do you watch? --sk # Active Sessions #Target[cf-vpn_session]:alActiveSessionCount.0&alHardwareCpuTempCount.0:publ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Target[cf-vpn_session]:1.3.6.1.4.1.3076.2.1.2.17.1.1.0&1.3.6.1.4.1.3076.2.1. 2.22 .1.31.0:[EMAIL PROTECTED] MaxBytes[cf-vpn_session]: 1500 Title[cf-vpn_session]: Sessions PageTop[cf-vpn_session]: <H1>cf-vpn Active Sessions</H1> YLegend[cf-vpn_session]: Sessions Options[cf-vpn_session]: gauge, growright, unknaszero ShortLegend[cf-vpn_session]: Sess Legend1[cf-vpn_session]: Legend2[cf-vpn_session]: Legend3[cf-vpn_session]: Legend4[cf-vpn_session]: LegendI[cf-vpn_session]: Sessions LegendO[cf-vpn_session]: Colours[cf-vpn_session]: GREEN#00eb0c,BLUE#0000ff,GRAY#AAAAAA,VIOLET#ff00ff WithPeak[cf-vpn_session]: dymw # CPU Utilization #Target[cf-vpn_cpu]:alGeneralGaugeCpuUtil.0&alHardwareCpuTempCount.0:look-no -han [EMAIL PROTECTED] Target[cf-vpn_cpu]:.1.3.6.1.4.1.3076.2.1.2.25.1.2.0&1.3.6.1.4.1.3076.2.1.2.2 2.1. 31.0:[EMAIL PROTECTED] MaxBytes[cf-vpn_cpu]: 100 Title[cf-vpn_cpu]: CPU PageTop[cf-vpn_cpu]: <H1>cf-vpn CPU Utilization</H1> YLegend[cf-vpn_cpu]: CPU Options[cf-vpn_cpu]:gauge, growright, unknaszero ShortLegend[cf-vpn_cpu]: CPU Legend1[cf-vpn_cpu]: Legend2[cf-vpn_cpu]: Legend3[cf-vpn_cpu]: Legend4[cf-vpn_cpu]: LegendI[cf-vpn_cpu]: CPU LegendO[cf-vpn_cpu]: Colours[cf-vpn_cpu]: GREEN#00eb0c,BLUE#0000ff,GRAY#AAAAAA,VIOLET#ff00ff WithPeak[cf-vpn_cpu]: dymw # Throughput #Target[cf-vpn_thru]:alGeneralGaugeThroughput.0&alHardwareCpuTempCount.0:loo k-no [EMAIL PROTECTED] Target[cf-vpn_thru]:1.3.6.1.4.1.3076.2.1.2.17.1.1.0&1.3.6.1.4.1.3076.2.1.2.2 2.1. 31.0:[EMAIL PROTECTED] MaxBytes[cf-vpn_thru]: 100 Title[cf-vpn_thru]: Throughput PageTop[cf-vpn_thru]: <H1>cf-vpn Throughput</H1> YLegend[cf-vpn_thru]: Throughput Options[cf-vpn_thru]: gauge, growright, unknaszero ShortLegend[cf-vpn_thru]: Legend1[cf-vpn_thru]: Legend2[cf-vpn_thru]: Legend3[cf-vpn_thru]: Legend4[cf-vpn_thru]: LegendI[cf-vpn_thru]: Throughput LegendO[cf-vpn_thru]: Colours[cf-vpn_thru]: GREEN#00eb0c,BLUE#0000ff,GRAY#AAAAAA,VIOLET#ff00ff WithPeak[cf-vpn_thru]: dymw Thanks for the suggestion Dave. Well, AFAIK, MRTG has to plot two OID's for each device it polls and I think it would be tidier to poll just the one device rather than it's switch port as well. I know there is an OID for throughput on the VPN concentrator, I just can't find what it is! If anyone knows, please let me know!
