[mrtg] VPN/ 14all.cgi issues

[Christopher Poetzel]

hello all,

About a week ago we started a discussion about VPN (specifically Cisco
3000 series) mibs.  I got a few responses of people who wanted a sample
config when i got one working.  I am still planning on doing this but have
hit a snag.

When thinking about the values i would want to graph,

Number of Active Sessions (Remote, Admin, and Lan -to -Lan)
Number of Remote Sessions
Max Session Count
CPU   (Gauge: instaneous counter, no avgbusy5 available)
Active Sessions Gauge ( 0-100% session utilization)
Throughput Gauge (0-100% sessoin utlization)

The values would only be meaningfull in the gauge option sense.
I do  not want to divide the active number of sessions by 300 for
example to come up with the active sessions per sec.
When i snmpget for the values above they return the correct values.
I checked them against what the vpn says. They are not the problem.
The graph generation or config is the problem.

So i set up a conifg like so

Target[X.X.X.X_RmtSessions2]: 1.3.6.1.4.1.3076.2.1.2.17.1.9.0&1.3.6.1.4.1.3076.2.1.2.17.1.9.0:public at X.X.X.X:
Options[X.X.X.X_RmtSessions2]: gauge, growright, bits, nopercent

LegendO[X.X.X.X_RmtSessions2]: &nbsp;Remote Sess:

the rmtsessions oid string returns a value between 0-7.  Our vpn is still
in the test stage and has never had more than 7 people on it at once.
however in my graphs i have seen values range from 5 - 60 which are
just plain wrong.

when i run an rrdtool info on the rrd file i get
filename = "10.10.221.9_rmtsessions2.rrd"
rrd_version = "0001"

A question is does 14all.cgi recognize the 'gauge' option?
Anyone thoughts are appreciated and when i get this working
i will send out a vpn.cfg to the list.


14all.cgi 1.15, MRTG 2.9.16, RRD 1.0.33
