SNMP polling for 5108 Chassis

[agouldin]

I'm attempting to set up SNMP statistics polling for the 5108 Chassis with 4 half width blade servers. I can get SNMP data from the 6120 Fabric Extender just fine such as IFs and such, but I don't see any OIDs corrisponding to the chassis.

Is there a separate host I should poll for the chassis, or perhaps a different community name?

I'm specifically looking to monitor power draw from the four Chassis PSUs, as well as the two FE PSUs.

root@sj-mon:~# snmpwalk -v 2c -c public ucs1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.117.1.1.1
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.9.9.117.1.1.1.1.1.470 = INTEGER: 2
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.9.9.117.1.1.1.1.1.471 = INTEGER: 2
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.9.9.117.1.1.1.1.2.470 = STRING: "CentiAmps @ 12V"
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.9.9.117.1.1.1.1.2.471 = STRING: "CentiAmps @ 12V"
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.9.9.117.1.1.1.1.3.470 = INTEGER: 4538
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.9.9.117.1.1.1.1.3.471 = INTEGER: 4538
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.9.9.117.1.1.1.1.4.470 = INTEGER: 29
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.9.9.117.1.1.1.1.4.471 = INTEGER: 29

Here is all I've been able to pull for the FE PSUs, and the 4538 value doesn't seem to have any correlation to what's being shown in the UCS Manager under Statistics.

Thanks!

There are no stats for the chassis.

You can only snmpget stats for the "NXOS" part of the Fabric Interconnect.

You can get snmptraps for all of UCS (go a google for UCS-MIB, and there's a doc explaining this on cisco.com - do a google for site:cisco.com ucs documentation roadmap).

At the end of the year I believe a full MIB will be available to do what you want.

If you want stats, use the XMLAPI.

Thanks for the quick response! I'll research XMLAPI.

Off topic maybe. But if you aim Cacti at an FI, you and use the standard Cisco template, you can get the interconnects. That is about all that works. It does show the vHBA/vNIC's but no data. Would be nice if that worked.
