Not seeing any evidence of SNMP retrieval here...

I also notice the link to this off the zenpack page links to the other Barracuda Spam Monitor. Has this been tested, I can't get it to work? I can run a wget and pull down the XML, but I don't this checkBarracuda.pl can.

Fixed:

There was no line actually getting the data from the spam filters. Looks like this was supposed to be a cleaned up version of the PBJ ZenPack. I'm not a programmer, so if someone else wants to add this to source, be my guest. I also know nothing about perl, so if I have some unneeded calls or something, feel free to remove them. I just add some stuff from the PBJ Zenpack.

/opt/zenoss/ZenPacks/ZenPacks.MJW.BarracudaMonitor-1.0-py2.6.egg/ZenPacks/MJW/BarracudaMonitor/libexec/checkBarracuda.pl

use POSIX;

use Getopt::Long;

use FileHandle

#Line 21 is not needed

# my $url = "https://$host/cgi-mod/stats.cghos

my $pipe = new FileHandle;

$pipe->open("wget -o /dev/null -O - --no-check-certificate https://$host/cgi-bin/stats.cgi |");

# Parse the XML

my $xml = new XML::Simple->XMLin($pipe);

Thanks for the info guys. I updated the zenpack listing to link to this zenpack now. Going to look into joining that code.

I found some issues. It appears that Barracuda hasn't updated stats.cgi (the script on the device that gets the Barracuda data) for a number of firmware updates. Prior to version 4.1, a device could only filter mail in one direction, inbound or outbound. I have a feeling that in either case the variables were the same so the stats.cgi script worked in either configuration. Version 4.1 firmware and later changed so a device could do both inbound and outbound simultaneously. But the script wasn't updated to look at the new outbound statistics. This causes the following effects on this Zenpack's output:

Queue Counts are correct
Spam statistics only show inbound stats

As I have time, I'll look to see if there is a way to remotely monitor the outbound stats. From what I can tell these aren't recorded in SNMP. When I snmpwalk the device I only see standard stuff (entity, enterprises, if-mib, etc).

Did you make the changes to checkBarracuda.pl? Unless someone updated the code in the repository, you will need to make the changes I listed in my last post, otherwise this ZenPack does literally nothing.

Barracuda version 5.1 is in beta and the firmware states that they are re-writing/adding-to the MIB, so monitoring queues might be available via SNMP soon.

Bump.

I'm putting the finishing touches on a new Barracuda Monitor which uses SNMP and works with the new firmware. Next hurdle is figuring out how to turn it in. I'm not a programmer, so I'm not familiar with using code repositories. If anyone wants to help me get this published (send me some notes in plain english) let me know.

Thank you for this. Only issue I have is I receive the following error on testing it:

Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /opt/zenoss/ZenPacks/ZenPacks.MJW.BarracudaMonitor-1.0-py2.6.egg/ZenPacks/MJW/BarracudaMonitor/libexec/checkBarracuda.pl line 43. Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /opt/zenoss/ZenPacks/ZenPacks.MJW.BarracudaMonitor-1.0-py2.6.egg/ZenPacks/MJW/BarracudaMonitor/libexec/checkBarracuda.pl line 44. Barracuda-10.140.6.24 OK | inqueue=; outqueue=; spams=0; bad_recipients=0; viruses=0; quarantined=0; tagged=0; allowed=0; rate_control=0;.

Any input would be welcomed. Thanks again.

Is that will the changes I put in above? Line 44 in my checkBarracuda.pl is blank and 43 is a closing }.

I'm still working on the new ZenPack as I have time. Its all working in my production server; I want to export it to my test server to test backwards compatibility and to verify that installation works, and figuring out GitHub.

Heath,

Yes, it is run after the edits. I do want to thank you for your efforts on this. I did the following edits & it ran, just no performance counters.

my $prtstr = "Barracuda-$host OK |";

# $prtstr .= " inqueue=$xml->{performance}->{inbound_queue_size};";

# $prtstr .= " outqueue=$xml->{performance}->{outbound_queue_size};";

foreach my $attr (@attrs) {

$prtstr .= " $attr=$stats{$attr};";

I am also finding our network is having some SNMP issues, just learned, so I will have to get those resolved before moving forward. Thank you again for your work.

I tried this with 4.2 (py2.7) and it seems to break my install:

I'm still on 3.3, I haven't upgraded yet so you might be the first person to try it in version 4. I'm back logged at work so I don't know if I'm going to be able to work on this anymore (programing/developement isn't my thing anyways).
