Re: [j-nsp] DOM: SNMP polling of RX power for 1 GE SFP impossible?
I would like to monitor with Nagios and graph the power received by the optical transceivers (MX240 + DPCE-R, MX80). My understanding of the situation is: - digital optic monitoring is available on both 1 GE SFP and 10 GE XFP transceivers - the CLI command show interfaces diagnostics optics ge-1/0/0 | match Receiver works for both 1 and 10 GE - starting with 10.4, the DOM MIB [1] is *only* for 10 GE XFP So there is no way to poll by SNMP the power for 1 G SFP. Strange. Yes, this is a significant omission, and you're certainly not the only one to notice it. If enough people ask about it, maybe Juniper will do something...

It should be possible to get the values via an op-script ... Not sure if that can also populate MIB values. So there is no way to poll by SNMP the power for 1 G SFP. Strange.

Nor poll too often. Since 10.x, I get the sense that Juniper has been chasing so many other bugs that good SNMP support has slipped somewhat. It's probably a lot of extra work, especially for things that mutate state. I can imagine it involving managing MIB contents and naming, finding every place in which a hook or function needs to be defined to support representing things into SNMP-compatible types. What if I do a write to shut an interface? Should a whole commit happen? It's too bad that netconf and op scripts are so hard to use (and utilize relatively-obscure XML-based languages). They hold the full power to read and manipulate states of just about everything in JunOS. However, I think this can sometimes be too big of a hammer. When you just want to pull out some counter data, routing protocol states, route next-hops, etc., who wants to have to haul out XML and XML-centric editing tools? The netconf Perl library seems like a step in the right direction, but seems like just a thinly veiled higher-layer API to build XML documents. I'll cherish the day when I can just curl http://r00ter/protocols/bgp/neighbors.json?key=d756d378f8e7bf506bf1c7d3aac2f8d480c84776 ___ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
Re: [j-nsp] DOM: SNMP polling of RX power for 1 GE SFP impossible?
We use an event script that converts parts of 'show interface diagnostics optics' and stuffs values into a MIB that is pollable. The SLAX was given to us by Juniper several years ago after we whined a lot [ and didn't invest the effort to learn SLAX ]. It may not do everything -you- want, but might be useful as a start point. We've used it successfully for 1/10g 'stuff' for several years. I can't imagine they'd be upset with us sharing it. -Michael On 4/12/2012 4:13 AM, Per Granath wrote: It should be possible to get the values via an op-script ...
