Can Cacti auto detect ?

[gifty]

Hi

I was wondering can cacti auto detect if router is 32 bit or 64 bit ?
I was trying to write a script to auto add graphs, on information available in database,
But i can not chose between In/out bits and In/Out bits (64 bit counter) using query in database. How should i do that ?


Please Help me as i am newbie to Cacti.

Thanks a lot

You should do the following, in this order:

1) Poll the High Speed Uptime using snmpv2c. if you get a good value use 64bit
2) Poll the ifSpeed using snmpv2c if you can, walk the High Speed Counters, if all good, use 64bit
3) Else, use 32bit

I am really new to cacti so do not know most of the things.

Use the cacti functions cacti_snmp_get and cacti_snmp_walk. Do a walk of one of your 64bit devices to find the High Speed stuff. I don't have it handy.

Hi,

I do not know how to use those functions?
It was not there in tutorials .
From where i can get tutorials for those functions ?
All i know is what its on cacti site documentation and it was not in there.

Please tell me.

Thanks a lot.

I would review the few scripts that we include in the base package. There you will find a few snmp function calls that give you all the details. If you are unfamiliar with snmp, then you will learn.

There is nothing better for creation than reference artwork.
