OpenNMS + BlueArc?

Anyone have an OpenNMS data collection definition for BlueArc?

The mib2opennms tool appears to be pretty worthless for this..


thanks!

Re: OpenNMS + BlueArc?

Hey Barry,

How the MIB gets used depends a fair bit on what's in it ... mib2opennms won't generate anything for you if there are no TRAP or NOTIFICATION definitions inside it, since that tool is used to convert events defined by the MIB into XML that OpenNMS can use to correlate SNMP traps to human-readable event definitions. So that's not necessarily an indication that something's wrong.

You may want to look at the parseMib.sh script that's bundled with the distribution as well -- look in /opt/opennms/contrib/mibparser/dist/ -- and feed the MIB to that, thusly:

which tells you what OIDs to examine for various metrics, which then gets included into datacollection.xml to get OpenNMS to collect the data points.

mib2opennms is NOT used for generating data collection info, it's used for notifications.

cheers,
Klaus

Re: OpenNMS + BlueArc?

Unfortunately the OpenNMS MIB parser can't handle BlueArc's..

I've attached a bluearc.xml datacollection config and graph config for BlueArcs, should anyone else around find them useful.

That's actually probably pretty handy, maybe you want to submit them to the OpenNMS group? The MIB parser is normally not too bad, it does throw up badly on stuff that deviates slightly from the spec (which is common with OpenNMS, it's really strict about protocol compliance).
