ISAM Ports - empty graphs

Hi All,
Thanks for looking. Sorry novice question below…

I have LibreNMS set up to monitor a number of Nokia ISAM nodes - (R5.3.02 NFXS-D FANT-F ALCATEL-LUCENT ISAM)

The discovery has identified all the interfaces yet my graphs for these interfaces are empty.

Trying to understand what is going on behind the scenes, I ran a debug discovery and spotted

/usr/bin/snmpbulkwalk’ ‘-v2c’ ‘-c’ ‘COMMUNITY’ ‘-OQUs’ ‘-m’ ‘IF-MIB’ ‘-M’ ‘/opt/librenms/mibs:/opt/librenms/mibs/nokia’ ‘udp:HOSTNAME:161’ ‘ifXEntry’

I ran this manually and I see this amongst the output

(67108864 is just an example index)

Line 1: ifName.67108864 = P2P Ethernet interface
Line 511: ifHCInOctets.67108864 = "00 00 4B 67 50 D8 5A 52 "
Line 551: ifHCInUcastPkts.67108864 = "00 00 00 6D 97 50 30 CD "
Line 591: ifHCInMulticastPkts.67108864 = "00 00 00 00 00 15 A4 65 "
Line 631: ifHCInBroadcastPkts.67108864 = "00 00 00 00 00 2B 36 05 "
Line 671: ifHCOutOctets.67108864 = "00 03 E0 5A 7E 35 A3 63 "
Line 711: ifHCOutUcastPkts.67108864 = "00 00 00 BD 71 4D 57 A3 "
Line 751: ifHCOutMulticastPkts.67108864 = "00 00 00 00 02 8B 4E CC "
Line 791: ifHCOutBroadcastPkts.67108864 = "00 00 00 00 01 7E 86 24 "
Line 831: ifLinkUpDownTrapEnable.67108864 = enabled
Line 1489: ifHighSpeed.67108864 = 1000
Line 1561: ifPromiscuousMode.67108864 = true
Line 1597: ifConnectorPresent.67108864 = true

Now this is where my novice hat is worn, I’ve not come across an output for ifHCInOctets / ifHCOutOctets written in HEX. Does the poller script automatically handle this and covert it into decimal? Or is there something I need to enable to perform this magic to get my graphs working?

Thanks
Mark

I think this is “possibly” what I need but I’m unsure if this is the correct way to do it.

If I add this to nokia-isam.inc.php, would this give me the output Im looking for?

foreach (array ( 'ifHCInOctets','ifHCInUcastPkts','ifHCInMulticastPkts','ifHCInBroadcastPkts','ifHCOutOctets','ifHCOutUcastPkts','ifHCOutMulticastPkts','ifHCOutBroadcastPkts') as $oid_HEX_Object) {	
	$port_stats[$index][$oid_HEX_Object] = hexdecs(preg_replace("/[^0-9A-Fa-f]/", '', $port_stats[$index][$oid_HEX_Object]))
}

// -- SOURCE https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.hexdec.php
function hexdecs($hex)
{
    // ignore non hex characters
    $hex = preg_replace('/[^0-9A-Fa-f]/', '', $hex);
   
    // converted decimal value:
    $dec = hexdec($hex);
   
    // maximum decimal value based on length of hex + 1:
    //   number of bits in hex number is 8 bits for each 2 hex -> max = 2^n
    //   use 'pow(2,n)' since '1 << n' is only for integers and therefore limited to integer size.
    $max = pow(2, 4 * (strlen($hex) + (strlen($hex) % 2)));
   
    // complement = maximum - converted hex:
    $_dec = $max - $dec;
   
    // if dec value is larger than its complement we have a negative value (first bit is set)
    return $dec > $_dec ? -$_dec : $dec;
}

I think I got this working as I now have data in my graphs.

Only thing I cant see is realtime graphs…

Can someone please check that this will not break anything?

Hi @Mark_Kneen

I have exactly the same issue with Nokia ISAM. Will try to apply your fix to see if it also fixes it on my end.

MOD: after the modification, the ethernet (uplink) interfaces started to poll the correct stats, but nor the “nokia CGLT-C PHYSICALUNI” nor the “nokia CGLT-C PON” interfaces are not indicating any data.

Further analyzing the output, the reason why there is no data in at the "“nokia CGLT-C PHYSICALUNI” nor the “nokia CGLT-C PON” interfaces is because the unit is not reporting them:

The interface description looks like this (would be lovely if uploading of text files would be allowed…), data is from the IF-MIB:

It is clear that data is only reported for the ethernet interfaces, the LAG interfaces and for the VLAN interfaces. However, the LAG and VLAN interfaces are not detected, while the other non-reporting empty interfaces are.

i try to apply your fix to see . but it still not get any traffic data…
MOD: i can get data but when i use snmp context nt it can’t collect any traffic , get traffic only work with context ihub but it only get traffic from card lt:1/1/x and port in card NT-a(b). I need get tracffic from port PON and port ONT … How can i get traffic from pon and ont port??

I’m also interested in this topic. I don’t know if Nokia device really reports data from the ONT interfaces or even from PON ports. snmpwlak don’t show anything apart from the ifType or other minor things…

It is hilarious, as you even need to enable CPU monitoring on the CLI, in order to get the graphs going even for CPU load:

admin system cpu-load nt monitor start
admin system cpu-load lt:1/1/1 monitor start

I suspect that for PON ports other commands might be needed as well. Tried a couple already on the pon interface:

configure pon interface 1/1/1/1
utilization
pon-pmcollect pm-enable
ont-pmcollect enable

but no luck so far on the SNMP side. Nokia is as annoying in this regard as Huawei. Stay away from them, they are not willing to give SNMP MIBs to anyone. If someone has access to a relatively up to date AMS, we can likely extract the MIBs from that. Let me know if any help is needed.

Hello,
There is a way to monitor the traffic of pon ports also on LibreNMS using snmp, but with custom oid.
After you have enabled the pmcollect for pon utilization you can get the traffic value from utilization:
Download:
.1.3.6.1.4.1.637.61.1.35.21.57.1.6.$slot multiple *230000 (this is the total bandwidth of pon port for download in my case).

Upload:
.1.3.6.1.4.1.637.61.1.35.21.57.1.7.$slot multiple *124400 (this is the total bandwidth of pon port for upload in my case)

Pon id for 1/1/1/1 if using FGLT-B is 94371840 in your case.

I am also interested in this topic in 2 things, merge these 2 custom graphs in 1 (down/up) and find a way to add it to dashboard.

Thanks for this. Is this working when SNMP context is NT?

I am not sure but for NT I think you don’t need to monitor this way. You can get directly from switch or router where you connect this port.

you misunderstood me.
I’m referring to snmp contexts. In ISAM you can set ihub or NT. They give you access to different set av information

Oh yes sorry about misunderstanding, it does not work on ihub context as far as I have tested.
