Did you upload both the .pl files in to the scripts directory?

I'm running 0.8.6h on FreeBSD 6.1. I had to modify the getCanopyApStatus.pl script to include the full path to snmpget and changed /usr/bin/perl to /usr/local/bin/perl at line 1. Then I chmod'd both the AP and SM scripts to 555 since I was getting permission denied errors. Now, I can collect temperature, ethernet link status, GPS status, etc., but cannot get any interface bandwidth stats. Is anyone else having the same problem on FreeBSD. I have a Linux machine polling Canopy APs and SMs and I get all of the data.

Thanks

Hi again,

I'm trying to make an XML file that gets the 64 bit interface counters for an AP or SM however I seem to be having some issues.

I have created a Data Query and put my XML file into that, however when I add the Data Query into a host to use on I get the following message

Code:

+ Running data query [12].
+ Found type = '3' [snmp query].
+ Found data query XML file at '/var/www/cacti/resource/snmp_queries/canopy-interface.xml'
+ Error parsing XML file into an array.
+ Found data query XML file at '/var/www/cacti/resource/snmp_queries/canopy-interface.xml'
+ Found data query XML file at '/var/www/cacti/resource/snmp_queries/canopy-interface.xml'
+ Found data query XML file at '/var/www/cacti/resource/snmp_queries/canopy-interface.xml'

Here is my XML if its something simple such as syntax though I've read it a couple of times and couldnt see anything.

Code:

OK I found the problem it was the ampersand in the description :oops:

Seems to be mostly working now

I have been using your scripts now for several weeks and all is good except I can't get a graph for dbm and rssi levels. According to the logs I am collecting the data and putting it in the rrd file, it just isn't displaying anything on the graph. I am running Cacti 0.8.6j if this helps. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I'm running into the same issue with Cacti using I or J. The power and rssi values return properly, but there is a problem with the graph template. I also noticed that in both versions, the power graph template is pointing to Data Sources [rssi].

I also turned on graph debug mode, and this is the error that I am getting:

RRD:
ERROR: invalid y-grid format

I'm more confused why this doesn't appear to be affecting anyone else. As I said earlier, I've tried both versions with the same problem...

Please post a screenshot of the Graph Template's y-grid setting. Some time ago, there was a substantial change for that very field

Well... I just figured it out. I was reading another post on the forum and they suggested something to the effect of disabling that value and it worked. What I did was modify the "Unit Grid Value" on the Graph Template, and set it to 0 and the graphs started to appear!

I've been running the motorola templates for a couple years on FreeBSD, and was able to solve any problems I had.

That machine died, and I've moved on to ubuntu 6.06 (LTS) under vmware... First I created an image of a working non-motorola install...
that is running fine in several places. So I have a working system.

Finally I get to building the one to monitor the motorola network.

When I import the AP template, the "SNMP - Interface Statistics" data query disappears from the list of data queries.

I've tried it over and over, and the whole data query disappears.

Ok, so I decide to add it back... I go through the painful motions of adding it, but I cannot get the associated data templates for In/Out Errors/Discarded Packets to accept any changes.

As far as I can tell my new ubuntu machines running Version 0.8.6h cannot accept the motorola templates.

So I remove cacti, and start over. Same thing.

Am I on the wrong version of cacti? Should I use a back version?

I used apt-get to do the install, and it installed Version 0.8.6h.

Is the apt-get package broken? Or is it incompatable with the templates for motorola? I see the website is on 0.86i now, is that the issue, I'm on a back-level?

I sorta wanted to stick to the apt-get version, so updates would work (managing dozens of machines is much easier if updates are easy 1 line commands)... As soon as I do a manual install, maintenance becomes a chore. Will a manual install even fix it? I don't think I dd anything wrong... Like I said I'm a long time cacti user...

One question

These scripts can run on XP box?

litass · **Joined:** Tue Oct 09, 2007 7:46 am **Posts:** 25

Can someone expert create 1 script for AP to capture power level (dBm) ?

with 8.2.1 the current .pl files do not work for some values:

SM dbm
SM session status
AP gps status
AP Reg count
AP and SM Temp

Any chance you can update with a new .pl files and xml to reflect the changes MIBS from Moto
