Yep. Getting something into SNMP can be a pain but it sure is nice once it gets there. On Mon, Sep 12, 2016, 7:16 PM Eric Kuhnke wrote: > Of course that graph is from an RRA/RRDtool, the question is how was the > data acquired on *N* poller interval... > > ssh and script

Re: [AFMUG] Visualizing BIND

I have done both. I use net-snmp's 'extend' for graphing Postfix data. FYI - I'm using key based authentication into a non-privileged account to execute the script. > On Sep 12, 2016, at 8:01 PM, Eric Kuhnke wrote: > > IMHO putting hardcoded credentials into an NMS

Re: [AFMUG] Visualizing BIND

Of course that graph is from an RRA/RRDtool, the question is how was the data acquired on *N* poller interval... ssh and script from the NMS server vs. snmpd and OIDs. The good thing about exposing the bind9 data via snmp OIDs is that it's not specific or proprietary to one type of NMS, if you

Re: [AFMUG] Visualizing BIND

IMHO putting hardcoded credentials into an NMS that allows it to ssh into a bind server is a lot more risky than usign snmpd, snmp "extend" and polling your new custom created OIDs. On Mon, Sep 12, 2016 at 9:24 AM, Josh Baird wrote: > Are you talking about something like

Re: [AFMUG] Visualizing BIND

The best way to do it, in my opinion, is with a proper snmpd on the bind host and the snmp "extend" paramter in the snmpd.conf file. Any shell script, perl script, python or whatever that you can run and will output an integer can be graphed and monitored. There's lots of good ways to visualize

Re: [AFMUG] Visualizing BIND

I think I probably 'borrowed' the base script from someone else and just modified it for my own needs. It's been 5+ years since I have even looked at it. It does the same thing, though - uses 'rndc stats' to get the data. Josh On Mon, Sep 12, 2016 at 1:30 PM, Jesse DuPont

Re: [AFMUG] Visualizing BIND

The Nagios script does the same (although the fact that Josh made is is geeking me out - I have to rely on stuff someone else made). The Nagios agent on the BIND9 runs rndc-stats, which updates the stats file with new data. The agent then reads and parses the stats file,

Re: [AFMUG] Visualizing BIND

Are you talking about something like this? [image: Inline image 1] You need to figure out how to get the data *out* of BIND. Newer versions expose a statistics channel via XML that you can use to get data like this. For the graph above, my NMS (Zenoss 4) SSH's into each DNS server and executes
