Unable to collect NIC data for reporting with MIB-II module
Hi all,
Here we have SunMC 3.6.1 set up with almost all the available modules, including the complete "MIB-II Instrumentation" one. We also have the "Performance Reporting Manager" feature, and want to use it to generate a hole bunch of performance reports for our Sun servers.
The problem I am facing is that I try to collect data through the "MIB-II Instrumentation module". I browse into "Interfaces Group", and there I can see all the NICs I have on the system. I would like to record the "If In Octets" and the "If Out Octets" fields. I right-click on these fields, I select the "Attribute Editor", then I click on the "History" Tab, and I choose to save the history on the disk, at each 300 seconds, and the file type is "circular".
Even after waiting for 24 hours, I don't have access to data that should be recorded. If the Performance Report Manager application, when I list the "data availability" for the server where I activated the collect, all I see is the "Kernel Reader" module collects I already activated: I don't see any "MIB-II Instrumentation" module there...
On the "Server details" window, when I go the the "Module management" tab, if I choose "MIB-II Instrumentation" module, it is charged and activated. However, when I click on the "Rules" button, the only ones appearing are the following:
IF Oper Status (1)rCompare---
IF Oper Status (2)rCompare---
IF Oper Status (3)rCompare---
IF Oper Status (4)rCompare---
and I find it to be exactly the same for the "MIB-II (Simple)" module...Could it be the reason why I cannot collect the "IF In Octets" and "IF Out Octets" fields?
Is there a way I can collect more relevant statistics about network usage with SunMC, using the "MIB-II Instrumentation" module, or something else within SunMC?
Thanks in advance!!
Ben
