Re: [nv-l] Threshold Levels

Shanks,

I think i figured it out why isn't it collecting the data, i read the snmCol.trace file and it says "Node Name could not be resolved..". Next I'll try putting the Serial Interface's IP directly instead of Node and see what happens...!

So your question is why isn't this data being collected?  You should
be
looking for that answer in the /usr/OV/log/snmpCol.trace file, which will
show you any errors snmpCollect encounters trying to parse your entries
or
contact the nodes it  gathers from.  If there's not enough information
 for
some failures you dynamically enable  tracing by issuing "snmpCollect
-T"
and make it even more verbose with "snmpCollect  -V".

But  right from the start , your entry in snmpCol.conf does not appear
to
me to be valid syntax.
 When I pasted your entry into my snmpCol.conf, xnmcollect wouldn't parse
it.
How did you create it?  By editing the file directly?  That's
not
recommended  for new users.
You should be adding  or modifying entries using  xnmcollect.

I would make a copy of snmpCol.conf as a backup, then delete your entry
from it, and then use xnmcollect to add back something valid.

Paul,

Sure here is the required info: -

mibExpr.conf:

BitsIn \
"ifInOctets * 8" \
         .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.  8 *

snmpCol.conf:
MIB BitsIn .* BitsIn units _expression_ R lansrv
C KHI-GW-01:Serial0/0 0xffffffff 5 > 5.000000 <= 75.000000 % s 1001


Let me explain once again what i am trying to do. We have multiple serial
links on our core router (Cisco3745) to internet, we want to monitor
incoming and outgoing traffic on those links and set threshold if certain
levels are reached and pass traps and generate alerts based on that etc.
Will that going to help us out or is there any other way around? I tried
the SnmpCollector but it just doesn't show any data, it shows for others
etc. bandwidthutilhdx,avgBusy etc. But not the ones i am trying to
configure.

Usman,
This is exactly what snmpCollect is designed to do. You mention you want
to
collect using an _expression_? Have you create that _expression_ in the
mibExpr.conf
file? If so, it would help if you posted it. You might also want to copy
your snmpCol.conf
entry here so we can see that also. Not much we can do with the
information you
have given.

Paul
