Cheshire Cat Computing

I spend some time figuring this out as my first custom target so I figured I would post it.

This graphs the available memory from Cisco devices that use IOS. This however doesn't work against a PIX which I am still trying to figure out it's OID.

Additional suggestion...

If the MIB is returning the queried value in Mb (I can't tell from your sample), then you could use

Factor[targetname]: 1024000

to convert it to bytes. Then you will not need to use

routers.cgi*Options[targetname]: fixunit
ShortLegend[targetname]: MBytes

(fixunit prevents 1024 from being displayed as 1K, so that 1024 will not get displayed as 1KMB, it will be 1024MB)

Of course, if it is returning the value in bytes already, then just ignore this suggestion

Steve,

Thank you for the suggestions! It is collecting information in bytes, but your way looks cleaner.


Thank you again!

Mike
