snarkout, In researching this error I've noticed that you've responded a lot on these types of issues.. Thanks for the prompt reply, I appreciate your input. I already have the device classes laid out as you mentioned (i.e. /network/switch/cisco/IOS and /network/switch/cisco/CatOS). I renamed the template to cpmCPUTotal5minRev and bound it to the IOS device class. Then I restarted zenoss completely. Upon startup I still get the same error: > 2008-04-16 10:35:28 WARNING zen.zenperfsnmp: Error reading value for > "cpmCPUTotal5minRev" on hostname (oid .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.109.1.1.1.1.8 is bad) I get this for all of my IOS routers. The same goes if I create a specific template for the CatOS device class called cpmCPUTotal5min or avgBusy5 based on the appropriate oid. I would find it very odd that you have name the template the same as the snmp ObjectName as it doesn't appear the default "Device" templates or any of the other included templates are named this way. Also, it would make it impossible to include more than one object in a single graph. I remember a post from cluther in which he mentioned naming the template after the "type" of object. Perhaps, he was talking about something else than the snmp object? Unfortunately, I can't seem to find the post now when searching. Perhaps there's a bug in the 2.1.3 release? I dunno, in all likelihood I've misread or overlooked something. If you or anyone else has any other suggestions I'm all ears. -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://community.zenoss.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=18590#18590 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
