NetApp filer snmp query problem

[renaatski]

Hi all,

I'm working on getting some usefull SNMP data out of my netapp filers... but encountering problems to do so. It's quite easy to use "SNMP - Generic OID Template" but it's really limited.

for instance:

gentoo root # snmpwalk -c public -v 1 192.168.21.65 netapp.netapp1.sysStat.cpu
NETWORK-APPLIANCE-MIB::cpuUpTime.0 = Timeticks: (1372805144) 158 days, 21:20:51.44
NETWORK-APPLIANCE-MIB::cpuBusyTime.0 = Timeticks: (70978749) 8 days, 5:09:47.49
NETWORK-APPLIANCE-MIB::cpuBusyTimePerCent.0 = INTEGER: 0
NETWORK-APPLIANCE-MIB::cpuIdleTime.0 = Timeticks: (1301826396) 150 days, 16:11:03.96
NETWORK-APPLIANCE-MIB::cpuIdleTimePerCent.0 = INTEGER: 100
NETWORK-APPLIANCE-MIB::cpuCount.0 = INTEGER: 2
NETWORK-APPLIANCE-MIB::cpuSwitchInvocations.0 = Counter32: 2991477451
NETWORK-APPLIANCE-MIB::cpuContextSwitches.0 = Counter32: 3420423469
NETWORK-APPLIANCE-MIB::cpuInterrupts.0 = Counter32: 942768520
NETWORK-APPLIANCE-MIB::cpuNonCPInterrupts.0 = Counter32: 3621146720
NETWORK-APPLIANCE-MIB::cpuCPInterruptPercent.0 = INTEGER: 0
NETWORK-APPLIANCE-MIB::cpuNonCPInterruptPercent.0 = INTEGER: 0
NETWORK-APPLIANCE-MIB::cpuTotalDomainSwitches.0 = Counter32: 814360806


The problem is that I want to retrieve for instance cpuBusyTimePerCent and cpuIdleTimePercent. (as an example). There's actually lot's of these values that would look great in a graph, but we're not talking about indexed stuff , and that's the problem.


Has anyone got an idea to have 1 data source be able to supply with all of the OID's I would require ?

For instance NFS stats, CIFS stats . All of these values are just not indexed, and creating a new data source for every oid is a bit nuts really...

I tried to use Data templates , but that leads nowhere, as I don't have indexes...


Can anyone hint at how I would make this stuff work. I'd be willing to post the result afterwards for people wanting to use cacti with a NetApp filer too


Kind regards,
