I've got MRTG monitoring calls per HiperARC, but I've got one chassis running two dialups in two different cities (don't ask how). Is there a way to break out the stats into a per DSP basis?

Not easily (yet).

Ugh...now having said that, I promptly go off and find a (fairly) easy way to do it. :/ Check out the usrSlotUtilizationTable in the usrCip MIB in the hiperarc.mib file. For some reason that part of that MIB isn't getting loaded correctly on one of my systems, so I didn't think it existed in the systems I was checking...turns out I just must have something screwed up in my MIBs on that system...those OIDs come up just fine (4.2.32 is my Arc code, just for reference) -- Jeff McAdams Email: jeffm@iglou.com Head Network Administrator Voice: (502) 966-3848 IgLou Internet Services (800) 436-4456 - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.

use the script function of MRTG to pull the numbers via SNMP from the NMC (or ARC)

3Com uses a fairly easy to understand numbering system... just add the slot to the port and you get the SNMP index.

1001 is slot 10 port 1. Use it in your snmpget/walk to index the tables and pull off the values you need.

Might be a bit slower than going straight to the card.. but it would work.

While I'm not extremely familiar with MRTG's capabilities...if you're dealing with (say, for example) 4 DSP's in a chassis, and 2 of the DSPs are one hunt group and the other 2 are the other hunt group, it gets a bit more hairy. Obviously its not *terribly* difficult, but it is going to require some scripting to split apart which is which and adding up. The usrSlotUtilizationTable gives you number of calls active on a per-slot basis, which removes the adding up part at least, and also gives you a nice index value that corresponds with the slot number. Again...not that it would be terribly hard to come up with in a script, but with these OIDs, its possible that there would be no script needed at all. Incidentally, this table also gives you total number of calls possible on a per-slot basis (so, if its a quad, it gives you a 4, if its a DSP running PRI, it gives you a 23, etc.), and nicely calculates a percentage utilization which is kinda cool (though easily figured out with the other two numbers :) -- Jeff McAdams Email: jeffm@iglou.com Head Network Administrator Voice: (502) 966-3848 IgLou Internet Services (800) 436-4456 - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.
