[mrtg] Re: ATM monitoring

[Chris Williams]

Excuse me in advance for the Book :)

I have MRTG up and running monitoring our asx 1000's and enjoying the
information, thanks to suggestions that were made in this list.  However I
had a couple more questions someone may be able to answer.

I am only able to gather data on PNNI ports.  Each of my ASX1000 has a 3810
etherswitch connected on port 1A1.  This port being a UNI interface is
excluded.  The only ports I am recieving statistics on are the PNNI ports.
I am trying to find the variable I need to change so I can query the UNI
interface.  Probably an OID, etc...  I just got a 30 day demo version of
MG-Soft to view mibs provided for the Fore Systems ATM equipment but getting
them to compile is a different story.

I know I need to modify the config files to get the data I would like -
however, being a newbie to Perl, etc..  I am not having much luck yet. I was
interested in modifications to the Options[] variable, conversion from Bytes
to bits, and including other data in the resulting HTML. I would like to
multiply by 53 in the command line, etc.  But not successful in my methods
yet.

I am currently using the cookie cutter scripts found in MRTG v2.8.9.  I set
up a cron job to run the scripts from within another shell script I created
for all switches -

---clip---

rm Config/asx-he1-1.cfg
./atmmaker public at asx-he1-1 > Config/asx-he1-1.cfg
./mrtg Config/asx-he1-1.cfg
./indexmaker Config/asx-he1-1.cfg >
/usr/local/apache/htdocs/Mrtg/asx-he1-1.html

echo "asx-he1-1 complete"
---clip---

I dont trust the information in the graphs yet because when I compare the
graphs to the my "stat port" command it doesnt match.  Below is a sample
from the command line on the switch, MRTG tells me 1A2 Max In=6,171 B/s, Max
Out= 79.0 KB/s.  This cant be right if I am comparing apples to apples here.
I am referring to the Fore Diagnostic manual to help me determine if these
are good comparisons.

I hope to gain a deeper understanding of how to create my own ./atmmaker,
./mrtg, ./indexmaker.  Is there a sight that has more documentation, or does
anyone else have another suggestion?

Thanks!
