Not discovering cores, just 1 CPU

Component Version
LibreNMS 1.47-50-g394c40e

I never noticed this until someone on my team pointed it out, but for all my FortiGate models and some Cisco models it is only discovering 1 CPU and not 4 cores or however many cores should be showing up. I have other types of devices showing the correct amount of cores. Anyone else having this issue?

This device below should have x8

Hello

In order to troubleshoot this issue, the first step is probably to check the SNMP data that the device replies. LibreNMS can only display the information sent by the monitored devices.

Are you talking about this below or can you share the CLI to check what the device replies with?

SNMP[’/usr/bin/snmpget’ ‘-v2c’ ‘-c’ 'COMMUNITY ‘-Ovq’ ‘-M’ ‘/opt/librenms/mibs:/opt/librenms/mibs/fortinet’ ‘udp:HOSTNAME:161’ ‘FORTINET-FORTIGATE-MIB::fgSysCpuUsage.0’]
2

CPU: 2%
RRD[update x.x.x.x/fortigate_cpu.rrd N:2 --daemon unix:/var/run/rrdcached.sock]

Could you try

/usr/bin/snmpwalk -v2c -c COMMUNITY -Ovq -M /opt/librenms/mibs:/opt/librenms/mibs/fortinet udp:HOSTNAME:161 FORTINET-FORTIGATE-MIB::fgSysCpuUsage

(I removed the final 0 and changed to snmpwalk command, so you should get the CpuUsage of all CPUs known to SNMP …)

I replaced “COMMUNITY” with my community and “HOSTNAME” with the IP. The return value I get is “1”

Now, if I’m looking at a FortiAnalyzer…I get this below. I replaced the IPs with x.x.x.x.

Just to be sure, could you copy paste the result of :
/usr/bin/snmpwalk -v2c -c COMMUNITY -M /opt/librenms/mibs:/opt/librenms/mibs/fortinet udp:HOSTNAME:161 FORTINET-FORTIGATE-MIB::fgSysCpuUsage

But to me, it looks like the device only replies one CpuUsage (which is probably an average of the CPUs …)

Here it is, and just a side note, Observium is discovering the cpu core #s correctly.

/usr/bin/snmpwalk -v2c -c COMMUNITY -M /opt/librenms/mibs:/opt/librenms/mibs/fortinet udp:x.x.x.x:161 FORTINET-FORTIGATE-MIB::fgSysCpuUsage
FORTINET-FORTIGATE-MIB::fgSysCpuUsage.0 = Gauge32: 19

Then it is clear. The actual OID only returns 1 value. So somebody must analyse the MIB and the replies from the device to find out if (and where) the information is sent.

Hello, any update on this please? It’s holding us back from switching from Observium to LibreNMS because we need to monitor our Fortigate’s per core/cpu.

Hello @Andre

  • Step 1: Find the OIDs that provide this information
  • Step 2: ask for help in order to implement it
  • Step 2bis: provide information so somebody can do it for you on spare time (if ever).

So far, the only info we have do not include the detailed CPU usage. We can continue this on the GitHub issue.
