Hi, We need to monitor Cisco Content switch uptime via Cacti. The problem is that OID si somehow unclear.
System:
Content Switch SW Version 6.10 Build 412 with SNMPv1/v2c Agent
See following:
snmptranslate .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0
DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance
So:
snmpget -v 2c -c community IP .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0
DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (186136482) 21 days,
But sysUpTime is only for the SNMP daemon uptime, which isn't the host uptime. Real device uptime should be detected via hrSystemUptime.0
snmptranslate .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.1.0
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSystemUptime.0
snmpget -v 2c -c community IP .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.1.0
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSystemUptime.0 = No Such Object available on this agent at this OID
Which OID should I use or how to get real device uptime from CSS?
Thx for reply

Hi Michal:
The Configuring SNMP section of the CSS Administration Guide doesn't list the HOST-RESOURCES-MIB as being one that the CSS supports. That section also doesn't mention anything about any other objects that would report time or how long the unit has been powered up. This may be something you need to talk to your Cisco account team about, and have them initiate a Product Enhancement Request for. Sorry it's not better news.

There won't be any product enhancement requests accepted on the CSS as it is end-of-sales as of 2011 and end-of-engineering as of 2012. Reference.
I don't know if Cacti can run a script and extract information from the output, but "show uptime" from the CSS cli will return the desired information.
