Hello.

I'm trying to graph postfix with this template, but I have some problem.

Code:

server:/usr/local/bin# ./fetch_mail_statistics.pl /var/log/mail.log /var/log/mailstats.db .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.255 -n .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.255
.1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.255.0
integer
9


It seems to be ok.

Code:

server:/usr/local/bin# snmpwalk -v 1 -c public localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.255
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.255.0 = INTEGER: 9
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.255.1 = INTEGER: 10
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.255.2 = INTEGER: 0
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.255.3 = INTEGER: 0
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.255.4 = INTEGER: 36
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.255.5 = INTEGER: 10
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.255.6 = INTEGER: 0
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.255.7 = INTEGER: 0
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.255.8 = INTEGER: 0
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.255.9 = INTEGER: 0
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.255.10 = INTEGER: 0


..and this is also seems ok.

But the graph isn't ok, as you can see:



Could someone please tell me what is wrong ?

Thanks in advance.

I'm having trouble making this script run in a consistant manner.

My Cacti machine is a separate machine than my mail server(s). I've followed the instructions and it seems to mostly work. But like nuber (his post is on page three of this thread) I've got to run the script manually on the mail server before Cacti can retrieve any data.

But unlike nuber, I get different error messages in the poller log:
Code:
01/04/2008 09:05:22 AM - CMDPHP: Poller[0] Host[41] DS[897] WARNING: Result from SNMP not valid. Partial Result: No Such Instance cur

Host 38 and 41 are my mail servers and the DS entries noted are the Postfix templates. (Host 41 is a Spam Filter and therefore has many more data points to look for.)

I've attached a sample of my output graph below. So my question is what can I do make this any better?

First of all, thanks to all that have worked on this script.

I'm also having an issue capturing data above 1024. The script itself is returning a value of "0" whenever the actual value is above this threshold. I haven't been able to find any information on limitations of perl (arrays, memory issues, etc) that may be causing this. To my untrained eye, the script seems correct. Attached is what I'm seeing. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I am a problem trying to show data that is over 1024. I have already changed to the maximum value in the data template to 100000, but my graph still won't graph anything higher than 1000.

Please help. thanks!

Hi all,

I'm trying to get this working, but I can't even get an output from the snmpwalk command. Doesn't give an output nor an error.

Code:
snmpwalk -v 1 -c public localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.255


If I remove the .255, I do get some output.

Code:
snmpwalk -v 1 -c public localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021
UCD-SNMP-MIB::memIndex.0 = INTEGER: 0
UCD-SNMP-MIB::memErrorName.0 = STRING: swap
UCD-SNMP-MIB::memTotalSwap.0 = INTEGER: 2064376
UCD-SNMP-MIB::memAvailSwap.0 = INTEGER: 2064376
UCD-SNMP-MIB::memTotalReal.0 = INTEGER: 4045072
UCD-SNMP-MIB::memAvailReal.0 = INTEGER: 2955756
UCD-SNMP-MIB::memTotalFree.0 = INTEGER: 5020132
UCD-SNMP-MIB::memMinimumSwap.0 = INTEGER: 16000
UCD-SNMP-MIB::memShared.0 = INTEGER: 0
UCD-SNMP-MIB::memBuffer.0 = INTEGER: 84580
UCD-SNMP-MIB::memCached.0 = INTEGER: 855044
UCD-SNMP-MIB::memSwapError.0 = INTEGER: 0
UCD-SNMP-MIB::memSwapErrorMsg.0 = STRING:
.
.
.


I do get output if I run the following command manually though.

Code:

/usr/local/bin/fetch_mail_statistics.pl /var/log/maillog /var/log/mailstats.db .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.255 -g .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.255
.1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.255.0
integer
14


What am I missing? Am I missing some kind of Postfix MIB or something?

Thanks,

-GT

I ended up fixing my problems by raising the maximum value in the RRD file.

I recently upgraded to 0.8.7b and blew up again though. NAN across the board.

GT4NE1, did you make the necessary entry in snmp.conf?

pass .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.255 /usr/local/bin/fetch_mail_statistics.pl /var/log/maillog /var/log/mailstats.db .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.255

Yes. This snmpd.conf change needs to be made on the monitored host correct?

yes, on the monitored host. It sounds like the host is setup correctly. Try running the snmpwalk every few seconds. I see that my host tends to time out every so often (granted it throws a timeout error).

This error has been discussed before, but this seems to a different issue.

I've had this working before, but if done a reinstall and am now having problems.

Code:
netra-svr:/etc/snmp# snmpwalk -v 2c -c public netra-svr .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.255
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.255 = No Such Instance currently exists at this OID
netra-svr:/etc/snmp# snmpget -v 2c -c public netra-svr .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.255
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.255 = No Such Instance currently exists at this OID
netra-svr:/etc/snmp#


I can run the script manually and it works:

Code:
netra-svr:/usr/local/bin# ./fetch_mail_statistics.pl /var/log/mail.log /var/log/mailstats.db .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.255 -n .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.255
.1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.255.0
integer
0


if i use -g rather than -n when i manually run the script, is saves the value for what appears to be the time set in the script by the var $MINRESET

Code:

netra-svr:/usr/local/bin# snmpwalk -v 2c -c public netra-svr .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.255
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.255 = No Such Instance currently exists at this OID
netra-svr:/usr/local/bin# ./fetch_mail_statistics.pl /var/log/mail.log /var/log/mailstats.db .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.255 -g .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.255
.1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.255.0
integer
0
netra-svr:/usr/local/bin# snmpwalk -v 2c -c public netra-svr .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.255
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.255.0 = INTEGER: 0
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.255.1 = INTEGER: 0
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.255.2 = INTEGER: 0
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.255.3 = INTEGER: 0
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.255.4 = INTEGER: 1
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.255.5 = INTEGER: 0
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.255.6 = INTEGER: 0
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.255.7 = INTEGER: 0
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.255.8 = INTEGER: 0
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.255.9 = INTEGER: 0
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.255.10 = INTEGER: 0
netra-svr:/usr/local/bin#


I can't seem to fault the config. I've done everything right (as far as i know), i haven't changed the values of the fetch_mail_statistics.pl script...

Does anyone have any idea's as to why snmp doesn't seem to be keeping the values? If you need more info, please ask....

I've fixed my problem.....

For all of those that are intersted, as of snmpd version 5.2 the default user that SNMP runs as has changed from root to snmp. What that basically means is any *fresh* install of snmpd above 5.2 will have snmp as the user, but if you upgraded from a previous version (im refering to debian and apt) it will NOT change the user (hence why this script worked on my previous install which was a old snmpd 4 install).

I've changed the running user back to root and it worked.

Can you describe what you did?

I'm getting the same behavior. When I run the script manually as the snmp user, /var/db/mailstats.db is created correctly. But when I try to snmpwalk, I get no output (no error, no nothing).

okokok... my fault
I read the snmpd.conf man and modified the fetch_mail_statistics.pl entry with
Code:
pass .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.255 /usr/local/bin/fetch_mail_statistics.pl /var/log/mail.log /var/tmp/mailstats.db .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.255

now it works correctly

Hi
I am new to cacti. I want to monitor my postfix server activity.

Imported the host template attached with the first post in this thread into my cacti installation successfully.
Along with host template, it created 2 graph templates, and updated some other stuff too. Seems that the setup serves my purpose.

But I am not able to make out the syntax used in this xml file and am curious to know how to create such template xmls for different purposes. can somebody guide me through the syntax and procedure?

Sorry if I'm asking something trivial. But I think this will help many others too.

-Raja.

Hi guys,

I tried running the script on the host machine where postfix is running and manage to get a results:

[mailserver]:/export/home/egalura # snmpwalk -v 1 -c [mydomain] [my ip] .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.255
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.255.0 = INTEGER: 123
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.255.1 = INTEGER: 40
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.255.2 = INTEGER: 24
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.255.3 = INTEGER: 3
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.255.4 = INTEGER: 0
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.255.5 = INTEGER: 0
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.255.6 = INTEGER: 0
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.255.7 = INTEGER: 0
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.255.8 = INTEGER: 0
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.255.9 = INTEGER: 0
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.255.10 = INTEGER: 0

also i manage to get results where cacti is installed

[localhost]:~ # snmpwalk -v 1 -c [mydomain] [mailserver] .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.255
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.255.0 = INTEGER: 33
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.255.1 = INTEGER: 7
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.255.2 = INTEGER: 7
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.255.3 = INTEGER: 2
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.255.4 = INTEGER: 0
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.255.5 = INTEGER: 0
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.255.6 = INTEGER: 0
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.255.7 = INTEGER: 0
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.255.8 = INTEGER: 0
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.255.9 = INTEGER: 0
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.255.10 = INTEGER: 0

but the graph is still empty.
Is this scripts only compatible for the machine where cacti and postfix runs?

Please help? I'm running out of ideas where to look.

thanks
