Hello,

Frist, thank you for this ZenPack!

I'm using it and I found out that you used Gauge for the RRD type. Wouldn't it be better to use Counter instead? This would show a /sec graph.

Regards,

Richard

I've installed sucefully this zenpacks and it work Ok.

I notice that in Graphs the Performance Graphs only show the performance for Port 1.

It is possible to show the graphs for all the ports?

No, it's not, this pack wasn't done properly. To work properly an interface modeler plugin would need to be created to properly map/model the interfaces. Then a new interface template would need to be created to collect the data. We do have 1 brocade switch here, whenever I have time I'll look in to coding an update to this pack.

I've installed the pack correctly but I'm seeing the following errors and am wondering if anyone has any thoughts on resolving the issue?

oid .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.17.3 is bad

The OID is different for each error but for basically every item that should be returned only results in a bad OID error.

I'll tell you up front that this ZenPack was not created correctly. It only works for monitoring the first fiber port on the switch. The proper way to code it would have been to have component objects for each interface but this wasn't done. If I ever have time to get back to ZenPack authoring, fixing this ZenPack is on my To-Do list.

Does anyone know if there is an updated zenpack that will show all the ports?

Thanks

No one has taken the time to make one. It would involve coding a modeler plugin and then converting the template included in the ZenPack to use it. I'll make one eventually, but it won't be for a long while.
