No Metrics collected for Cisco Switch

[beanfield_hyper]

We're in the process of evaluating Hyperic Enterprise for our organization. I've installed HQ 3.2.1 EE server and agent on a SLES 10.1 server. The agent is working correctly on the main server as well as another SLES 10.1 test machine....all metrics have imported correctly. I have left the agent configuration properties alone for SNMP and the agent is running as root.

I have attempted to import a cisco switch into hyperic. There is no hardware firewall between the server and the switch. SuSE's software firewall was not installed.

# iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

First, I verified that the server can snmpwalk the device "snmpwalk -M /usr/share/snmp/mibs -v2c -c COMMUNITY SWITCH_FQDN". This works correctly as it starts printing out information from the switch...I can basically walk away for 5 min and when I get back the terminal is still scrolling.

Then, I followed these directions http://support.hyperic.com/confluence/display/DOCSHQ30/Cisco+IOS I start off entering the "Type & Network Properties". I use the same SWITCH_FQDN that I used in the snmpwalk above in the "Fully Qualified Domain Name" field. In the he "Agent Connection" drop box I select the ip address of the server (the same interface that I did the snmpwalk on). Then I enter the ip address of the router in the "IP Address" field. Then I click ok and go down to "Configuration Properties" and hit "Edit". I change the field for "snmpCommunity" to match our community (the same one that I used in the snmp walk above) and click "OK".

Initially, it fails because it defaults the "snmpIp" to 127.0.0.1. If I change this to the ip address to the ip of the router...it appears to somewhat work. But I don't understand what the difference is between the snmpIp and the other ip's I entered above. How is this different than the "Ip Address" field I entered in "Type & Network Properties"?

Anyway...I go back to look at the new platform I added and there is a green icon next to it indicating that Hyperic is able to communicate with the device. It also appears to be pulling SOME information from SNMP as the Description for the device auto-filled with "Cisco Systems WS-C6509 Cisco Catalyst Operating System Software, Version 7.6(2) Copyright (c) 1995-2003 by Cisco Systems". However, there are no metrics that are imported "There are no indicator metrics data to display for time period between". I even selected "All Metrics" instead of the default "Problem Metrics". I let it sit overnight and came back in this morning and there still wasn't anything imported.

Lastly, I tried doing the same import as a "Network Device" http://support.hyperic.com/confluence/display/DOCSHQ30/Network+Device and I still ran into the same issues.

I didn't see anything that stood out in the logs. I restarted the agent and pasted below the output from the logs.

Any suggestions for troubleshooting this would be appreciated. If we're to move forward with Hyperic as a monitoring solution in our organization, we'll need to be able to monitor all of our Cisco switches (as well as some SANs via SNMP).

[sfuller_hyperic]

We're having the same issues with many of our Cisco devices. To the point where the same class of devices (for instance 3750 switches) may or may not work depending on the version of IOS they are running. We have an open Jira ticket with Hyperic on this now. The last I had heard, it's sitting somewhere in Engineering. Maybe someone else can chime in on this too.

We tried the generic network device plugin as well, with limited success. Ideally we want all of the network devices using the same plugin so we can put them in a compatible group for alerting purposes. I can't understand the IOS plugin is having issues with hardware that has been around as long as the 6509 switches and the 7200 series routers have been.

[beanfield_hyper]

Thanks for the prompt reply! Please keep this thread updated if you get resolution.

[sfuller_hyperic]

I'm going to spend some time today looking at building a customer monitor out of Cisco MIBs. Wish I didn't have to do it, but we have deadlines to meet here.

[sfuller_hyperic]

Looked at this some more today. It appears that autodiscovery is broken on the 6509 for some reason. If I manually enter the string for the ifDescr it pulls in the appropriate statistics for the interface.

Can someone from Hyperic please look into why this isn't working?? Adding 411 interfaces manually (times 3 switches) is not going to be feasible.

Not fun.

Perhaps Opennms would work better for monitoring switches while utilizing hyperic for the servers?

http://www.opennms.org/images/a/a4/Hyperic-integration2.pdf

Even though at first glance it would appear each of these projects serves the same purpose, as it turns out, these
projects are actually more complementary than competitive with only a fractional amount of overlap. Hyperic
HQ is used by many organizations to support the monitoring of applications and their platforms leveraging its
strong agent based technology. OpenNMS is used by organizations monitoring network infrastructure. The
overlap is where Hyperic’s agents can be used to test local network infrastructure and OpenNMS can be used to
communicate with agents and monitor platforms. OpenNMS is designed to be is strongly “agent-less” and Hyperic
HQ’s architecture is strongly “agent-based.”

[beanfield_hyper]

Our switch was a CatOS based switch. I have created a custom plugin (borrowing heavily from the existing IOS plugin) that *appears* to be working: http://support.hyperic.com/confluence/display/hypcomm/Cisco+CatOS

Although, It still doesn't import the portName OID for the switch...just the ifName and some other custom fields in the far right hand of the attached screenshot. If anyone knows how to add portName field to the description, I'd appreciate it. Output for this OID currently looks like:

Beanfield,

Thanks for the updates. I might have to take that route as well. I've also filed this as a bug with Hyperic. We are updating to 3.2.2 today. Once that is done, I plan on giving this another shot to see if anything has been improved.
