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).

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,

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!
