Hi guys,

I want to pull performance data from Super for this I tried snmpv1/2 and v3 versions. The first one is that I got credential and discovery success in the config I made with rocommunity, but I can't see anything except ping stat in the performance monitor. When trying v3, I keep getting invalid character error in GUI credential, but I confirmed that there is no such character. It can't be able to pull all the data with Super v1/2, right?

Has anyone encountered this stiuation before?

Thank you

Hi @adem_netsys,

I am not sure if I understand the question correctly.

Are you talking from a third-party device via SNMP to the FSM Supervisor? Or are you trying to get SNMP-information of a third-party device to be collected by the FSM?

What is the device vendor/type which should talk to FSM / FSM should be talking to?

Is the invalid character error already while doing the configuration or just a result of testing the credentials?

Best,

Christian

Hi @Secusaurus

Actually, I'm talking about the super itself. I want to get the performance data of the super and write performance rules based on it. I haven't made any progress on this.

so you try to connect the supervisor to itself?

The performance/health should already be monitored via internal phoenix logs - what information are you missing at the moment?

The issue probably is that there is no OID-assignment defined for SNMP queries against FSM components. Therefore, it won't install any monitors. You might need to write a custom OID-definition to get the information via SNMP then.

Best,
