What I have now is an external script which polls all modems in the chassis (DSPs) It then outputs to a file in HTML format. You can see a result of the output at http://24.116.0.46\phx-fail.htm Modems which are failing would be highlighted in red. I am next going to work on trying to alert via email when a modem is in errored status, and also rework the error conditional. I have only worked on this today, and I figure on giving it about another day this week. Because the SNMP walk takes a considerable amount of time I am running this via a scheduled process and outputting the information to a file, rather than having it dynamic and run when the page is requested. Also this will make the alerting function more practical. If there are any perl programmers who would like to work on this with me it would be greatly appreciated. I am not a perl programmer, although I can do a pretty good job at cutting and pasting from other scripts. The current scripts use some of the modules included with MRTG, as well as a hacked up version of my hiperdsp.pl script for the snmp walk. Plug in the community, ip address, and output file into the script then run it. Please let me know the results or if you have any suggestions.

If you have PERL running

AND

You have MRTG running

AND

you want to be able to monitor modem call failures on the Hiper DSP cards

Email me. I have some scripts in beta currently and would like your feedback. When completed I will release them to the lists.

Here is an updated version with mail notification. I am using ntsendmail.pm which is available at You will need to place ntsendmail.pm in your \perl\lib directory. http://www.alliancestudio.com/tk/ntsendmail/ Modify the values in the script for each site you want to monitor $ENV{"NTsendmail"} = "My.mailserver.com"; #Enter your Mail Server Here my $community="public"; # Your community String my $router = "127.0.0.1"; # IP Address of NMC my $outputfile = "modem-fail.htm"; # File to output to my $location = "Phoenix"; # Location Descriptor my $sender = "tech\@mycompany.com"; # Mail From (use \@ in mail address) my $recipient = "tech\@mycompany.com"; # Mail To (use \@ in mail address) my $subject = "$location modems"; # Mail Subject For errored status I'm using 15% for my threshold. You can change it on this line. if (@callfail[$i-1] > (@callok[$i-1])*.15) { Again.. if there are any perl guru's out there who could clean this up it would be appreciated.
