[XML] Netscreen CPU Memory and Session stats

fletch

This archive contains the XML templates exported from the config I use to generate cacti graphs for Netscreen firewall CPU, Memory and Session stats.

Inspired by this thread:
http://www.raxnet.net/board/viewtopic.php?t=2848&highlight=netscreen

Please send feedback to fletch@med.stanford.edu

You must allow SNMP in the netscreen config:
Network->Interfaces (check SNMP in the "Service Options" section)

You might also need to add config for the community string in:
Configuration->Report Settings->SNMP

Hi

Configuration->Report Settings->SNMP.........I have already wrtitten community string in this section

Network->Interfaces I control that every interfaces allow the snmp traffic.
I use :

You may need to change the first line of the script to point to your perl location:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl

do a
which perl
or
locate perl
if you are in doubt...

Then run the script from the command line as your cactiuser:
scripts/netscreen_stats.pl
You should get something like:
cpu1:1 cpu5:1 cpu15:1 memory_allocated:131975680 memoryAvailable:117585408 memoryFragmented:8667 sessionsAllocated:1500 sessionsMaximum:250000 sessionsFailed:0

The script runs fine for me locally:

perl netscreen_stats.pl 172.16.1.1

cpu1:2 cpu5:2 cpu15:2 memory_allocated:28785520 memoryAvailable:76753856 memoryFragmented:2834 sessionsAllocated:177 sessionsMaximum:16000 sessionsFailed:0

But my graphs still show Nan inside cacti. My interface traffic graphs are working fine, just the netscreen_stats graphs aren't working.

Try adding the full path to your snmpwalk - eg:
/usr/local/bin/snmpwalk
in the netscreen_stats.pl script

and check the log of your cactid or cmd.php has the perl script call and output correct.
eg I log my cactid cronjob to /tmp for debugging:
0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * /usr/local/cactid/bin/cactid > /tmp/cactid.out 2>&1

grep netscreen /tmp/cactid.out

Thanks Fletch for the work you've done. Hope you don't mind I fixed a few bugs I found and repackaged everything:
+The script assumes the community is public it now gets it from the Device entry snmp_community
+Input String of Data Input Method tried to find the script in a static location now it uses the <path_cacti> macro.
+Create a Host Template called Netscreen that also includes Associated Data Queries SNMP - Interface Statistics and Unix - Get Mounted Partitions

This is my first attempted at giving back to the Open Source community as well as Cacti so go easy on me if I messed up somewhere.

I import new version of netscreen_stats
but i have these errors:

Just a guess.. try deleting and recreating your Graphs. My guess is you imported the new scripts but are still using the old graphs. Make sure you're using the new templates too thats included.

I delete data sources, rrd files about netscreen and re create everything but no change...

I have just found that the netscreen_stats.pl script doesn't appear to work with 0.8.6 cactid. I've tried it on two different machines. It appears that it may be a pathing issue, but I don't have time to troubleshoot it right now.

I'll try to fix it later at work - Will post anything I figure out.

Odd.. its still working on mine after the upgrade without a hitch, and I thought I fixed the path issues..
