Hi again,
I was just using the normal “discovery.php -h HOSTNAME”. That’s how I could get the sensors visible in Observium.
I don’t see any status neither, but I see a “Event” column, with all fans at OK state (see attached screenshot).
Best regards,

Hi,
Thanks for the input, I've just tried a discovery but no change.
The categories of good sensors are:
Processor
Memory
Storage
Current
Power
Temperature
Voltage
but nothing for 'Status':
##### Module Start: status #####
o Status Count 0
o Module time 0.0009s
It's running 5.2.1 by the way.
Cheers,

Subject: Re: [Observium] ASR9k fan failures not detected?
I would like to add 4.x releases doesn't expose lot of sensors, they did
improve that in 5.2 IOS-XR iirc

Hi Robert,
We figured out that, in order to see the fans and power, we needed to
force a manual discovery of our ASR9K from the command-line. I hope this
helps.

Hi,
I’ve just noticed that fan failures on the ASR 9k are not detected by
Observium. In fact, it seems have nothing at all under the ‘status’ tab?
The 6500s have over 20 entries in there for “Fan - Fail” or “PSU -
Fail” or “I’m not facing magnetic north - Fail” etc. but the ASR9000
have no status tab whatsoever.
Reason for noticing this; is that we have a chassis which currently
has a ‘Major-Alarm’ failure indicator LED on the RSP, due to a failed
fan tray. Observium shows the device has being ‘OK’ and is not seeing
either the Major alarm or the fan tray failure:
canb-server[151]: %PLATFORM-CANB_SERVER-3-ALARM_INDICATION : Raise
alarm from CBC in slot 0/FT0/SP, alarm code CBC_ALRM_FT_LED_RED_FAILED
LED Information
---------------------------------------------
R/S/I Modules LED Status
0/RSP0/*
host Critical-Alarm Off
host Major-Alarm On
host Minor-Alarm Off
host ACO Off
host Fail Off
FAN0 FAN1 FAN2 FAN3 FAN4 FAN5 FAN6 FAN7
FAN8 FAN9 FAN10 FAN11 FAN12 FAN13
0/FT0/* (Speed)
9900 9900 9870 9780 9870 9780 9780 10080
10080 9870 9990 9900 9810 9990
(fans are now OK again)
Is this a case of Cisco not exporting any of this useful (and rather
critical) information properly? Would be good to graph fan speeds if
they are exported. Or are other people getting these OK and it’s just us
with the issue?
Cheers!
