Hi,
Just curious if anyone is currently using Observium to monitor any Cisco ASR9k based devices? I can see that it has correctly identified all the various hardware modules, line cards and temperature sensors etc. but isn’t graphing things like temperatures or light levels like it does for our Cat6K workforce.
Since this is the first ASR device I’ve tried polling on Observium I’m not sure if it’s just not fully supported or if we have some SNMP restrictions on the Cisco which are preventing it from getting what it needs.
Any feedback or other experiences are welcome!
Cheers all,

Last time I checked there were issues with the CISCO-ENTITY-SENSORS-MIB code on ASR9K.
Seems it's not gotten better.
On Cisco kit all sensors sit in this one MIB, there's nowhere else they put them :)

Ahhh... Ok never mind then, when its fixed in XR will Observium just start picking it up and working? Or have they done something stupidly different on the ASR that's going to be a show stopper? Cheers!

Nope. Cisco's MIBs are quite nice like this, they are reasonably well developed and written and they support them almost universally.
When ASR's XR stops being batshit it should all just work. Contact Cisco and tell them you want optical sensors in CISCO-ENTITY-SENSORS-MIB!
Assuming you can see them in the CLI, right?

To be fair on IOS XE lots stuff gone into standart ENTITY-mib. Dunno how on IOS XR. PS also there is new ENTITY-mib v4 is out rfc6933

The sensors still go into ENTITY-SENSORS-MIB. Cisco kit supports this too (as does Observium), but CISCO-ENTITY-SENSORS-MIB includes some additional things (monitored entity is one, IIRC).
I don't think ENTITY-MIB v4 covers sensors, does it?
