How do you like Cisco's IP SLA IOS features? Can i degrade the router's resources? Can it proactively alert you of VoIP degradation (Jitter, delay, packet loss). Is it real time? Can it give you info on existing calls? How are you graphing all this info?
How accurate is it ? What if the router is very busy and has congestions or the buffers are full due to heavy usage, can you still get accurate info ?

Thank you

Hello!
I am looking for some help getting these SAA templates working for me. Here is the background:

Routers: Cisco 7200s running IOS 12.3(8)T5 with SAA configured

OS: Solaris 8
Cacti: cacti-0.8.6h
PHP: PHP 4.3.0
MySQL: 4.0.21
RRDTool: RRDtool 1.2.11
Apache: apache_1.3.27

Latest SAA templates:
cisco_saa_671.xml
cacti_data_query_cisco_saa_statistics.xml

I followed the instructions in the post and copied the file cisco_saa_671.xml to the <path_cacti>/resource/snmp_queries/cisco_saa.xml and ran the import of cacti_data_query_cisco_saa_statistics.xml via the web import function. Here is what I got:

Now I add one of my saa routers click on the "CREATE GRAPHS for this Host" link.

Where I now see the options of Graph Templates, Data Query [Cisco - SAA Statistics] and Data Query [SNMP - Interface Statistics]. When I select one of the interfaces for a Interface stat query, the check box get set and the line is highlighted yellow. However if I select on of the Cisco SAA queries, the check box is set but the line does not turn yellow:

When I click on create I get the following messages:

+ Created graph: STTLWA-SAA-01 - SAA Basic
|query_rttMonCtrlAdminTag|)
+ Created graph: STTLWA-SAA-01 - Traffic - Et0/0

Now I go to graphs and I see that the traffic graph is created but the SAA are not. I check back after two polling cycles and I see that traffic graphs now exist and have data. However the links to the graphs for SAA are still broken. I check then for RDD files and see one for the interface stats but not one for SAA probe.

I ran the poller for the command and found an entry for traffic stats:
Waiting on 1/1 pollers.
08/31/2006 03:25:01 PM - POLLER: Poller[0] CACTI2RRD: /usr/local/bin/rrdtool update /usr/local/cacti-0.8.6h/rra/sttlwasaa01_traffic_
in_69.rrd --template traffic_out:traffic_in 1157052274:3114803689:2810733671

but none for the SAA.

Soooo, does anyone have any ideas??

Thanks in Advance!!!

There is one MAJOR requirement for Cisco SAA (or whatever they renamed it to) to work properly.

1) All SAA Endpoint pairs must be named
2) Each name must be unique (aka Site1-to-Site2, etc.)

If the names are not unique, cacti won't know what to graph. In your case, it appears that you may not have named them.

Others listening here, please clarify if I am wrong. It has been a while since if have looked at this post.

My graphs end up looking very weird. The output from the router CLI is:

Jitter Values (milliseconds):
MinOfPositivesSD: 1 MaxOfPositivesSD: 151
NumOfPositivesSD: 225 SumOfPositivesSD: 910 Sum2PositivesSD: 42410
MinOfNegativesSD: 1 MaxOfNegativesSD: 150
NumOfNegativesSD: 229 SumOfNegativesSD: 948 Sum2NegativesSD: 44184
MinOfPositivesDS: 1 MaxOfPositivesDS: 1025
NumOfPositivesDS: 246 SumOfPositivesDS: 3123 Sum2PositivesDS: 1168435
MinOfNegativesDS: 1 MaxOfNegativesDS: 1007
NumOfNegativesDS: 319 SumOfNegativesDS: 3086 Sum2NegativesDS: 1106486
Jitter Avg: 7 JitterSD Avg: 4 JitterDS Avg: 10
Interarrival jitterout: 0 Interarrival jitterin: 0

By my reckoning, the average pos S->D jitter values should either be 4ms (910/225) or 13 (sqrt(42410/225). However, on the graphs it is showing massive jitter values in excess of 100ms (this on a link that has an RTT of 30ms...).

Has anyone seen this or know how to fix it?

I've been browsing around every part of the cacti configuration frontend but am unable to see anywhere what OIDs it is polling for these numbers so cannot figure out if its broken maths or broken OIDs.

Thanks,
Ras
