Collecting Data but not graphing???

Hello,

I've been playing with data collection from a new device and I'm able to collect the data via collector yet
I'm getting NAN's and no graph on the web page.  How can I test the insertion of data collected into the rrd?

Regards,

Richard Andrews

combining rrd-s

I am monitoring and graphing two interfaces from two different switches.
I am in need of getting the 95th percentile the total traffic from the two
interfaces combined.
I am wondering if it is at all possible to get the two rrd-s and combine
them into one in order to do that calculation.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

SNMP Polling the cisco.wkgrpProducts.stack Interface Values

Hi,

I'm working with some Cisco equipment and am trying to graph the
portMacControlPauseTransmitFrames and portMacControlPauseReceiveFrames
values in Cricket.  The problem I've run into is Instead of using a
single instance number to index the value in the portEntry table, the
rows of this table are referenced by the interface's module/port
numbers.  For example, the base OID for the pause transmit frames is
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.5.1.4.1.1.19.  If you wanted the value for interface
4/13, you would walk the base OID, and look for the one with the .4.13
at the end.

I tried setting this up by manually defining variables for the module
and port numbers in the end interface target.  For example:

target GigabitEthernet4_13

            module-number = 4

            port-number = 13

            ...

Then I defined the ds-source like this:

ds-source = snmp://<my snmp
info>/portMacControlPauseTransmitFrames.%module-number%.%port-number%

I have the target-type/graph/datasource/OID all defined in the same way
as I have properly working graphed values defined, the only differences

graphing printer counters, supplies etc?

Hi all,

I'd like to use Cricket to collect and graph printer page-counters, toner
levels etc, etc.

Searching the archives didn't help much - is anyone doing this and able to
offer some pointers?

Thanks,
Neale.

Re: graphing printer counters, supplies etc?

Hello,

i can think of several ways to do this. first check whether your printer
supports SNMP. if it's a network printer or has a network-module, chances
are this will work. 

if you know the IP-address of your printer(s), you can try to use snmpwalk
to discover what variables it gives you access too. for example: 

	snmpwalk -v 2c -c public 192.168.2.33

depending on what brand/type of printer you have, the SNMP variables you can
get can differ. 

as an example for an HP Laserjet 1320-tn printer, you can define the
following OIDs to cricket: 

	OID prtMarkerSuppliesMaxCapacity 1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.1.8.1.1
	OID prtMarkerSuppliesLevel 1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.1.9.1.1
	OID hrStorageSize 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.5.1
	OID hrStorageUsed 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.6.1

and then use them to define data-sources, and collect/graph them using
cricket (using the default SNMP stanza)

if you don't have network-printers, or ones without SNMP, you are best off
writing a little script to get your data (for example, i can reformat the

Mtargets in v1.03

Hello,

I'm in the process of setting up an mtarget of which I've defined in my targets file(lots of online docs on this).

target combo1
        short-desc = "aggregated session count"
        mtarget = "sessions1;sessions2"
        mtarget-ops     = sum()

My defaults already has everything defined for sessions1 and sessions2, is there anything else I need to
setup in the defaults file in order for cricket to start graphing these?

Stack areas and line on the same graph

Hi Folks,

I'm wondering if it's possible to have a number of "stacked" areas on a
graph (in my case, 6), as well as a line. The line should be the
absolute value for that metric.

I have been unable to get a config that works for this. I seem to be
able to get the stacked areas to show easy enough, but either the line
doesn't show at all or I get two lines for two metrics instead of just
one, as I'm hoping for. Here's the relevant snippet of my config:

targetType ch
    ds =
ch_one,ch_two_to_five,ch_six_to_fifteen,ch_sixteen_to_sixty,ch_over_sixty,ch_imports
    view = "CH Usage"
view "CH Usage"
    elements =
ch_one,ch_two_to_five,ch_six_to_fifteen,ch_sixteen_to_sixty,ch_over_sixty,ch_imports
    paint-nan = true
dataSource ch_one
    ds-source = field:%metrics%:%dbname%_ch_import_one
    rrd-ds-type = GAUGE
graph ch_one
    bytes = false
    si-units = false
    legend = "1"
    y-axis = "projects"
    draw-as = STACK
dataSource ch_two_to_five
    ds-source = field:%metrics%:%dbname%_ch_import_two_to_five
