Cacti compression graphs

Hi-

 

 

I’ve recently installed Cacti (v 0.8.7d) on a Windows 2003 box. I’ve downloaded and successfully used the F5 template posted on this site. What I can’t seem to find is anything to graph compression. I currently have 2 1500 LTM devices that I am graphing.

 

 

Does anyone know of a template I can use for this?

 

 

 

Thanks in advance!

  • I don't think I've seen that. If you give me an idea on what stats you want to see, maybe I can crank something out for you early next week. Otherwise, if you want to get started on your own, I recorded a video on writing templates a little while back: Click here

     

     

    You'll definitely want to download and watch in a bigger screen.
  • Thanks for the reply citizen, I'll take a look at the video and see what I can do. Basically what I'm looking for is what I can get from the configuration utility- HTTP Compression Rate (bits/sec) as well as the Client and Server side throughput.

     

     

  • So I watched the video and attempted to create a template for SSL Client connections using the OID provided in the F5 manual (.1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.1.1.2.9.2). Everything seemed to work ok except the only values the graph is reporting is -1.

     

     

    The poller cache and debugs all seem to be reporting ok as well.

     

     

    I can use the snmpwalk utility in Cacti and I'm able to get the correct value from that. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm sure you can tell I kind of new to this and I'm trying to feel my way through.

     

     

    Thanks again!
  • Hmm, memory is fading. Global compression stats are already in my template. Sorry. Check this thread, the templates were submitted courtesy of hamish:

  • I've attached the exported template and also tried to download the compression templates by hamish but I'm not able to?? I need these to be an xml file correct?

     

    Thanks!
