For the type of devices I'm looking to monitor(cisco routers, w/ gig & fast e) there should be NO errors. If there's a value other than 0 we've got problems... :) Output queue 0/40, 0 drops; input queue 0/75, 0 drops 5 minute input rate 3058000 bits/sec, 1202 packets/sec 5 minute output rate 107000 bits/sec, 65 packets/sec 83710206 packets input, 4235826135 bytes, 0 no buffer Received 160 broadcasts, 0 runts, 0 giants, 0 throttles 0 input errors, 0 CRC, 0 frame, 0 overrun, 0 ignored, 0 abort 0 watchdog, 67702 multicast 0 input packets with dribble condition detected 7032457 packets output, 2132869625 bytes, 0 underruns 0 output errors, 0 collisions, 0 interface resets 0 babbles, 0 late collision, 0 deferred 0 lost carrier, 0 no carrier "Forsyth, Austin" <Austin.Forsyth@Caminus.com> wrote: <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"> <META content="MSHTML 5.50.4916.2300" name=GENERATOR> <DIV>oh goodness. someone else mentioned the specific OIDs for interface error counters and how you have to run a trend on those numbers to actually do something with them.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>you may want to look into the way those counters are used. some have an upper limit of four billion and just keep counting until they roll over. the cisco IOS interprets the number based on a time delta and then spits out an error rate. you can't really walk the tree, because the counters aren't absolute values.</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV></DIV> <DIV class=OutlookMessageHeader lang=en-us dir=ltr align=left>-----Original Message----- From: nagios-users-admin@lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:nagios-users-admin@lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of Jon Lyons Sent: Thursday, March 20, 2003 3:36 PM To: Subhendu Ghosh Cc: 'Nagios Users (E-mail) ' Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] RE:Monitoring Cisco Routers errors? </DIV> Ok, not the hardest part, I was looing for something that would be able to walk the oid tree/interfaces looking for errors. I've got a lot of interfaces on lots of routers, make a specific check_snmp request for each oid is a lot of work.. :) Subhendu Ghosh <sghosh@sghosh.org> wrote: <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">OIDs are easy part - rfc 1573 (IF-MIB) for base set look for the transport mibs for specific line type (DS1/E1, DS3/E3, SONET, etc) -sg On Thu, 20 Mar 2003, Jon Lyons wrote: > > The OIDs are the hard part.. :) > Sean Knox <SEAN.KNOX@SBCGLOBAL.NET>wrote:I would imagine you could do this via check_snmp.
