Cacti Temp and Humidity Graphs for the APC NETBOTZ 200 is different from the NETBotz 400 and 600 models.

The APC Netbotz200 has 8 sensor inputs on the device so each input has a OID associatedwith it. What I did was scan the MIBs available and found where the Temp and Humidity

Cacti Temp and Humidity Graphs for the APC NETBOTZ 200 is different from the NETBotz 400 and 600 models.

The APC Netbotz200 has 8 sensor inputs on the device so each input has a OID associatedwith it. What I did was scan the MIBs available and found where the Temp and Humidity values were stored. They are not stored in the same OID as the NetBotz 400 and 600 models.

To scan your Netbotz 200:

Sensor #1
(name)
snmpwalk -v1 -c public [IP address of Netbotz] 1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.10.4.2.3.1.3.0.1  
(temp)
snmpwalk -v1 -c public [IP address of Netbotz] 1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.10.4.2.3.1.5.0.1
(humidity)
snmpwalk -v1 -c public [IP address of Netbotz] 1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.10.4.2.3.1.6.0.1

Sensor #8 (name)
snmpwalk -v1 -c public [IP Address of Netbotzs] 1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.10.4.2.3.1.3.0.14
(temp)
snmpwalk -v1 -c public [IP address of Netbotz] 1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.10.4.2.3.1.5.0.14
(humidity)
snmpwalk -v1 -c public [IP address of Netbotz] 1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.10.4.2.3.1.6.0.14

The last period in the OID starts at 1 and goes to 14. Each one in succession is another sensor on the Netbotz 200. Using snmpwalk to walk the OID’s will show you what is labeled. Walk this OID to see all sensor names (1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.10.4.2.3.1).

In Cacti add a host with the correct IP and SNMP community (Version 1) then apply the templates provided above to pickup sensor #1 If you need more sensors then duplicate the templates and update the OID in them for the next sensor OID #.

How-to : Installing RRDTool on centos 5 using yum

Yes, I know CentOS 5 does not come with a repository that holds valid redhat style rpm’s for rrdtool. So here is how we fix that. We are going to echo to a new file the repo information you will need to allow yum to install rrdtool.

We create a file called dag.repo in /etc/yum.repos.d/ by running the echo cmd below. Just copy and past it in to your putty

Yes, I know CentOS 5 does not come with a repository that holds valid redhat style rpm’s for rrdtool. So here is how we fix that. We are going to echo to a new file the repo information you will need to allow yum to install rrdtool.

We create a file called dag.repo in /etc/yum.repos.d/ by running the echo cmd below. Just copy and past it in to your putty window and hit [enter] once. Then let’s cat the file to make sure it has saved correctly.


echo "[dag]
name=Dag RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el\$releasever/en/\$basearch/dag
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt
enabled=1" > /etc/yum.repos.d/dag.repo

Now run

[root@localhosts]#cat /etc/yum.repos.d/dag.repo
And you will see this

[dag]
name=Dag RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el$releasever/en/$basearch/dag
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt
enabled=1

Now run
[root@localhosts]# yum install rrdtool

This is also good for

awstats
cacti
bandwidth
cfengine
ClamAV
Claws Mail
darkstat
dante
devilspie
dnstop
dvd95
dvdrip
etherape
flash-plugin
fuse
gkrellm
iperf
