change port name/description?
by Tom De Puysseleyr 04 Mar '14

04 Mar '14

Hi again, SNMP traps are working (thanks to the wiki), so now I can see nearly immediately when a port on a switch goes down. However, something like "Nortel Networks BayStack 5510-24T Ethernet Switch Module - Unit 1 Port 1" doesn't say much about what exactly went down. Just an idea: would it be possible to provide a way to edit the port names?

Vyatta snmpd errors in ports module
by Robert Williams 01 Mar '14

01 Mar '14

Hi, On the latest version of Vyatta (6.6 R1) we are getting these errors for every physical port on every poller run: snmpd[3872]: access:dot3StatsTable,interface_ioctl_dot3Stats_get, cannot get stats information for interface |eth5| snmpd[3872]: access:dot3StatsTable,interface_ioctl_dot3Stats_get, cannot get stats information for interface |eth0| snmpd[3872]: access:dot3StatsTable,interface_ioctl_dot3Stats_get, cannot get stats information for interface |eth3| snmpd[3872]: access:dot3StatsTable,interface_ioctl_dot3Stats_get, cannot get stats information for interface |eth2| snmpd[3872]: access:dot3StatsTable,interface_ioctl_dot3Stats_get, cannot get stats information for interface |eth4| snmpd[3872]: access:dot3StatsTable,interface_ioctl_dot3Stats_get, cannot get stats information for interface |eth1| However everything on the graphs looks fine. I’ve tracked it down to the ports module, which when run by itself causes the errors on the Vyatta box: (The stats are low because it’s not actually in production and only eth4 and eth4.497 are link-up) router.name 311 vyatta (unix) Uptime: 4h 23m 4s Module time: 0.0684s Hardware: Version: Features: VC6.6R1 Serial: Asset: Module time: 0.0132s Caching Oids: ifEntry ifXEntry dot3StatsDuplexStatus Port Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

However, to stand a hope of getting it sorted I wondered if anyone could suggest what part of the ‘ports’ module could possibly cause an error like this in the snmpd of the Vyatta? Then I can try to take it up on the Vyatta forums, but at the moment I can’t even explain which I’m trying to poll when the error occurs because I don’t know what steps in the ports module are likely to cause this. Any suggestions / pointers welcome! Robert Williams Custodian Data Centre Email: Robert(a)CustodianDC.com http://www.CustodianDC.com

inline images
by Rob VanHooren 28 Feb '14

28 Feb '14

consider, is there a way to adjust the construction of alert messages so images can be attached rather than inline. then, add a config.php lever to toggle between inline vs. attached. takes care of those environments where netadmin has no control over the mail client. just my CAD$0.02 thanks R.

Email alerts - supposed to have rrd images?
by Matt Ladewig 28 Feb '14

28 Feb '14

All - When I receive an alert based on an alerting check, I get a box at the bottom of the alert that looks like images are supposed to be included, but they aren't able to resolve. Checking the email's html, there isn't a url included with the listed images. The html is attached. Any insight would be appreciated - Thanks, Matt

half duplex ethernet alert?
by Matt Ladewig 28 Feb '14

28 Feb '14

Could ifDuplex be added as an checker metric? We'd like to setup an alert to keep an eye on this for us, but currently ifDuplex doesn't return a value in the array. It would be very helpful if it could be added. Thanks, Matt [cid:image001.png@01CF33AE.2D30C250]
