XML Generator for switches

[skullone]

Fixed issue where ifType was 1 ("other"). Not adding ifType 1 as I'm yet to find a host where ifType 1 ever has any traffic.

Tested with Cisco 877.

Doesn't work with SNMPv1 agents.

Nice addons for a nice scripts.
I looked at it briefly, and it looks like a good script to make XML templates from any number of SNMP enabled devices or servers for hardware monitoring.
First thought comes to mind, Dell OpenManage SNMP items, Sun Fire SNMP items, Power distribution units (monitor amperage, voltage, watts, temperature).

I'll try to come up with some stuff later this week and update!

A very big thx, this templater works really fine for me. I am currently installing all switchs we have (22 but 5 differents brand) and make a unique snmp community. My zabbix server is growing everyday

Thank you ! It works flawlessly.

Very great tool!

Some triggers where not working because of the ">" expression. I replaced > with > and that worked fine.

I also added ifAlias in my port, trigger, graph descriptions.

I was wondering what to do with ifAlias vs. ifDescr. I was thinking perhaps use ifDescr by default, but prefer ifAlias if it's there, as ifAlias is usually the user-created description for an interface eg "Fibre link to core switch" vs. "Gi0/1".

Then again, maybe I should stop wasting time with this perl script and focus on this instead:

Total Bandwidth Calculation for Cisco Switches

Hello,

I have been redirected from my Zabbix Cookbook forum thread to this thread. The original post I made is: http://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthre...3896#post43896

Sorry, if I am doing duplicate posting. I have used the xml file and modified to use with the cisco switch. It is working perfect now. What I would like to do is calculate Total Bandwidth of each interface in daily, weekly and monthly basis.

I hope I will get a solution from this thread.

Thanks in advance,

consultorpc

All the script does is generate XML templates for Zabbix. It can't add functionality to Zabbix that isn't already there. Nelsonab's script presumably works by querying the backend DB, which is something that can't done through an XML template.

Modules needed to run script

Hi,
Could you tell me what modules do I need to install to run your script ?
I use fedora core 8, so can use yum to do it.
Thanks in advance,

These are the modules that the script uses:

use Time::localtime;
use Net::SNMP;
use Getopt::Long;

How you install those modules depends on what environment you're running the script in.

Configuring for script use

Ok, after installing CPAN managed to get modules.
But what should i put in "Delay factor for all items" ?
What does it means ? And what is the utilization Zabbix makes ?

I'm almost there, thanks for your help.

Errors while importing xml

Hi,
Managed to get the xml file, it was needed "Y" not "y"....
But while importing to zabbix it says several errors like :

Added trigger 'Port 029 Vlan109 administrative status has changed' to host 'C355012G-02-A1'

I don't have port 13, only 12 on this host.
But it works on zabbix, just don't understand why says this errors.
Thanks in advance
