bump - seems I forgot to exclude the "inetCidrRouteTable" or "ipForward" as Cisco calls it. So if you wanted to disallow reading of ARP entries and - say - prevent the Dude from polling the Internet routing table (if you have it) .21 and .24 would be enough to exclude. access-lis...

bumping this thread: I have had this too - according to me this is when it happens: - Create a new device and/or assign a device to a device group - select autodiscover (or configure automatic discovery) but exclude this device group from being discovered - the Dude then removes it as it was not mea...

hmmmmm.....

I admit, enabling a few (CPU/RAM/Temp/etc.) is much less work than disabling a lot :)

Will follow that way. Thanks!!!

Gsandul, this is the easy solution but I am looking for the complex one ;) I was looking for a way to create a probe that does not graph from the beginning - I am running a "auto discover" every 24 hours and new services are added if interfaces come up, etc. My interfaces never need to be ...

blackpaw

Hi! When I run a "discover" on a device and it finds a new service, it adds it to the "services" and also starts graphing this service. Now, for some services I just want them polled but not graphed. I can put the services in the "ignored" list in 'device type' - but th...

how are you polling this data in your interface/device labels? Just created a function "oid(1.2.3.4.5.6.7.....)" or did you create a function with conditions for each? How often do you refresh the labels? It depends..... Any network and server group should be monitored depending on what y...

Sorry for intruding but we are discussing a similar topic in a different thread.. http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=50492 Gsandul has suggested using snmp view to prevent the Dude from polling too much data (like - the internet routing table) from Cisco hardware which can kill the CP...

blackpaw

actually, all historic (graphing/probe) data seems also to be kept when copy+pasting making the config file (.xml) quite large in the process. You can open it with your favourite editor to check yourself.. btw: Thomas B. - you ever been working for RZ@RWTH? I remember a Thomas Bottcher who I had to ...

Interesting.. wouldn't have imagined monitoring call status using the Dude (Cisco must hate you for not using their fine software!) ;) how are you polling this data in your interface/device labels? Just created a function "oid(1.2.3.4.5.6.7.....)" or did you create a function with conditio...

totally not that kind of probe :) I even tried to remove the oid_column part to remove the (partial) SNMP walk but still... if(array_size(oid_raw("1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.57.0", 10 ,29)), oid("1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.57.0", 10, 29)+1 ,"False") and: if(Cisco_CPU() <>"False"...

blackpaw

I bow before you - thank you for this! :)

Now I only need time to simulate, test and then deploy this!

Andreas

blackpaw

The solution is to disable corresponding snmp subtrees on cisco device. Uh... how would I go about that? :) Besides that, you also contributed a lot to the Cisco probe back then.. would you like to do some experimenting how to get the Dude to use less CPU? I didn't mean that I only want to discuss ...

If you go in the Dude to menu "functions" and read the descriptions a bit you can find some that are useful, like:
- round
then your function will be:

round(oid("1.3.6.1.4.1.119.2.3.69.401.8.1.1.5.1"))

Don't know if this is something introduced in the latest version of the Dude but I am getting very high CPU utilization when the Dude is enabled.

"function() >=0" In version 4b3 the "Available" line is less forgiving. If you take the probe that doesn't work and add one to the value that is being read the probe comes up but it will never appear down. I have solved this for my self by following gsandul's example of a functi...

well.. you could create a probe that goes down when the interface comes up... Create a Function (like: "interface_status") that reads the status of the interface (up=1, down=2) and then create a probe (type function) with the "available" condition interface_status() = 2 Now if it...

that looks like what I need!

I am interested, too. This would allow me to import lots of device names, locations, configs, instructions and other helpful things into the config of a device/service.

I do this manually which works fine but I am lazy ;)
