CiscoIpSlaMonitor
Use this monitor to monitor IP SLA configurations on your Cisco devices. This monitor supports the following SNMP OIDS from CISCO-RTT-MON-MIB:
RTT_ADMIN_TAG_OID = .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.42.1.2.1.1.3 RTT_OPER_STATE_OID = .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.42.1.2.9.1.10 RTT_LATEST_OPERSENSE_OID = .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.42.1.2.10.1.2 RTT_ADMIN_THRESH_OID = .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.42.1.2.1.1.5 RTT_ADMIN_TYPE_OID = .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.42.1.2.1.1.4 RTT_LATEST_OID = .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.42.1.2.10.1.1
You can run this monitor in two scenarios.
The first tests the RTT_LATEST_OPERSENSE, which is a sense code for the completion status of the latest RTT operation.
If the RTT_LATEST_OPERSENSE returns ok(1), the service is marked as up.
The second scenario monitors the configured threshold in the IP SLA config.
If the RTT_LATEST_OPERSENSE returns with overThreshold(3), the service is marked down.
Configuration and use
| Parameter | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
admin-tag |
The tag attribute from the IP SLA configuration you want to monitor. |
n/a |
ignore-thresh |
Boolean indicates whether to monitor just the status or the configured threshold. |
n/a |
This monitor implements the Common Configuration Parameters.
Example for HTTP and ICMP echo reply
In this example, we configure an IP SLA entry to monitor Google’s website with HTTP GET from the Cisco device. We use 8.8.8.8 as our DNS resolver. In our example, our SLA says we should reach Google’s website within 200ms. To advise co-workers that this monitor entry is used for monitoring, we set the owner to OpenNMS. The tag identifies the entry later in the SNMP table for monitoring.
ip sla monitor 1
type http operation get url http://www.google.de name-server 8.8.8.8
timeout 3000
threshold 200
owner OpenNMS
tag Google Website
ip sla monitor schedule 3 life forever start-time nowIn the second example, we configure an IP SLA to test if the IP address from www.opennms.org is reachable with ICMP from the perspective of the Cisco device. As in the example above, we have a threshold and a timeout.
ip sla 1
icmp-echo 64.146.64.212
timeout 3000
threshold 150
owner OpenNMS
tag OpenNMS Host
ip sla schedule 1 life forever start-time now| It’s not possible to reconfigure an IP SLA entry. To change parameters, you have to delete the whole configuration and reconfigure it with your new parameters. Back up your Cisco configuration manually, or see RANCID. |
To monitor both of the entries, the configuration in poller-configuration.xml requires two service definition entries.
Note that you must include the monitor section for each service in your definition.
