Trigger on Regex value returned

[ahahum]

I have an item that returns values like this:
5 Sec (6.19%), 1 Min (5.97%), 5 Min (6.70%)

I'm looking for a way to alert based on 1 or any of these values being greater than X.

Is that possible with a Regex? If not, how can I do that?

How you store that data in DB? As TEXT / Character?
In that case you cannot do any mathematical calculation, you can only use text function to compare string with sub-string or find sub-string in string.

You can modify your collecting script to convert data to numeric value before storing to DataBase, and then you can have the full power of mathematical functions.

Thanks for the quick reply sir. I am storing it as text so I guess I'll have to adjust my item to get the data into the DB in numerical form.

Yes, and sorry about that.
It sometimes painful when the manufacturer decide to send data as text (37 F) instead of just number (37).
And you have to create additional scripts just to remove extra numbers and spaces.

Sorry again.

No doubt, this is a dell switch and this is the only way I can find to poll the CPU usage...

I think it all depend on switch model.
After short browsing I found topic from DELL with some nice examples
http://www.force10networks.com/CSPor...lwithSNMP.aspx
And in that examples snmpwalk give only numbers, not text strings.

Check your switch. May be you had use wrong OID.

Yeah, that's what I'd hoped, but I've not had any luck. I've walked the device and can't find any hits on those OIDs in the link you provided. I've also grep'd for CPU and only get 2 (useless) hits.

iso.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2.625 = STRING: " CPU Interface for Unit: 0 Slot: 5 Port: 1"
iso.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.1.625 = STRING: "CPU Interface: 0/5/1"

[aib]

Do you mind to tell me the exact model of your switch and Firmware?
May be I'll be more lucky to find any information about MIB / OID's / etc. in different segments of Internet (russian, for example)

Dell 6248 (2 of them stacked)

Thanks a lot for your assistance, Aleksey!

I found this command line

snmpwalk -v 2c 10.11.12.13 1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10895.5000.2.6132.1.1.43.1.8

Do you mind to show the result of SNMPWALK and "show system" from CLI ?

This seems to be the Temperature of the CPU.

It looks like you can use that OID to collect Integer value of temperatures, without messing up with some conversion.

1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10895.5000.2.6132.1.1.43.1.8.1.4.0

Try to do the same snmpwalk for second device, if it has an IP-address.

[ahahum]

I'm trying to poll the CPU utilization, not the temperature.

There is not IP for the 2nd member, just an IP for each of the VLANs I have on it.

Thanks again for your help, I feel like you've hit the same roadblock that I did initially so that at least validates my efforts!!

[aib]

sorry for misunderstanding
I forgot your initial question

So, back to script: create something on any language which you like (request SNMP OID from device, select 3 numbers from answer {5_sec_load, 1_min_load, 5_min_load} and send it back to server, using zabbix_sender.

Then use cron to start script regularly.

And have fun!

[ahahum]

The string I get back is:

iso.3.6.1.4.1.674.10895.5000.2.6132.1.1.1.1.4.4.0 = STRING: "5 Sec (6.51%), 1 Min (6.76%), 5 Min (6.49%)"

I just want to extract the middle value (1 Min) then I'll populate that into the database.

Any ideas on that?
