No events for Brocade switch in the Health Status view

steph007

Hi,

When in the Health Status view of an Brocade switch, i can see information for Port tab and Switch Status tab, but nothing in Events tab. Any idea of what to do to make the Events appears?

Note
For a recent Brocade switch add, I can see Events.

Hi,

there are presend only events with severity level error or critical.

We use these 3 snmp requests:

swEventTimeInfo:
snmpwalk -v 1 -c public x.x.x.x 1.3.6.1.4.1.1588.2.1.1.1.8.5.1.2
swEventLevel:
snmpwalk -v 1 -c public x.x.x.x 1.3.6.1.4.1.1588.2.1.1.1.8.5.1.3 
swEventDescr
snmpwalk -v 1 -c public x.x.x.x 1.3.6.1.4.1.1588.2.1.1.1.8.5.1.5

You can force to show all events there by this variable:

cd /home/stor2rrd/stor2rrd # or where is your STOR2RRD working dir
echo "SAN_ALL_EVENTS=1" >>etc/.magic

Wait at least 1 hour after then. Events are collected only once per hour and it can take some time if there are too many events.

Thanks for the quick answer. Is it possible to get severity level warning, error and critical? Or the only option to have more then error and critical is to set the SAN_ALL_EVENTS=1?

Karel

Hi,

this possibility has been added. Use the following file.

https://download.stor2rrd.com/patch/sanperf.pl.gz

Gunzip it and copy to /home/stor2rrd/stor2rrd/bin (755, stor2rrd owner)

-rwxr-xr-x 1 stor2rrd stor2rrd 123578 Apr 23 08:59 sanperf.pl

If your web browser gunzips it automatically then just rename it: mv sanperf.pl.gz sanperf.pl

Assure that file size is the same as on above example

It's necessary to set this variable:

cd /home/stor2rrd/stor2rrd # or where is your STOR2RRD working dir
echo "SAN_ALL_EVENTS=warning" >>etc/.magic

Wait at least 1 hour after then.

Karel

Hi,

one more little think. File "etc/.magic" has to be readable for apache user.

So set rights to 644 for this file:

cd /home/stor2rrd/stor2rrd # or where is your STOR2RRD working dir
chmod 644 etc/.magic

steph007

Many thanks for that "patch"! No Warning yet so I cannot say if work or not. I will keep you post.

Hi,

It's look like it's not working. I don' see warning events in health check. Here is what I received that should have generated a entry:

2020-04-30T13:44:48-04:00 QFTORDCXU01 raslogd: 2020/04/30-13:44:48, [MAPS-1003], 217732, SLOT 5 | WWN 10:00:50:eb:1a:5d:ca:00 | FID 128, WARNING, QFTORDCXU01, Switch, Condition=SWITCH(FLOGI/min>=5), Current Value:[FLOGI, 6 Logins], RuleName=SWITCH_FLOGI_log, Dashboard Category=Fabric State Changes.

Hi,

it works in out lab.

Can you check if your switch provide events with severity level WARNING through snmp?

snmpwalk -v 1 -c public <switch_IP> 1.3.6.1.4.1.1588.2.1.1.1.8.5.1.3 | grep "INTEGER: 3" | wc -l

swEventLevel - 1.3.6.1.4.1.1588.2.1.1.1.8.5.1.3

The severity level of this event entry.

Possible values are:

• critical (1)

• error (2)

• warning (3)

• informational (4)

• debug (5)

steph007

Hi,

This is the result of your command:

root@plgesmon02[/root]# snmpwalk -v 1 -c public 10.254.219.133 1.3.6.1.4.1.1588.2.1.1.1.8.5.1.3 | grep "INTEGER: 3" | wc -l
953

Is it a configure issue on my side?

Karel

Hi,

outputs pls.

cd /home/stor2rrd/stor2rrd # or where is your STOR2RRD working dir
ls -l bin/sanperf.pl
cat etc/.magic

steph007

[stor2rrd@plgestad4d02 stor2rrd]$ ls -l bin/sanperf.pl
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 stor2rrd stor2rrd 118415 Mar  5 14:23 bin/sanperf.pl
[stor2rrd@plgestad4d02 stor2rrd]$ cd etc
[stor2rrd@plgestad4d02 etc]$

Hi,

it cannot work, because you didn't follow steps i mentioned above...

1. deploy this file:

https://download.stor2rrd.com/patch/sanperf.pl.gz

Gunzip it and copy to /home/stor2rrd/stor2rrd/bin (755, stor2rrd owner)

-rwxr-xr-x 1 stor2rrd stor2rrd 123578 Apr 23 08:59 sanperf.pl

If your web browser gunzips it automatically then just rename it: mv sanperf.pl.gz sanperf.pl

Assure that file size is the same as on above example

2. set this variable:

cd /home/stor2rrd/stor2rrd # or where is your STOR2RRD working dir
echo "SAN_ALL_EVENTS=warning" >>etc/.magic
chmod 644 etc/.magic

3. wait about 2 hours, warning events should appear then

steph007

It's look like I put it in /home/stor2rrd/stor2rrd when my working directory is under /opt/stor2rrd

steph007

By using the "good" working dir:

[stor2rrd@plgestad4d02 stor2rrd]$ pwd
/opt/stor2rrd

[stor2rrd@plgestad4d02 stor2rrd]$ ls -ltr ./bin/sanperf.pl
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 stor2rrd stor2rrd 123578 May 12 17:18 ./bin/sanperf.pl

[stor2rrd@plgestad4d02 stor2rrd]$ ls -ltr etc/.magic
-rw-r--r--. 1 stor2rrd stor2rrd 17 May 12 17:19 etc/.magic

[stor2rrd@plgestad4d02 stor2rrd]$ cat etc/.magic
SAN_ALL_EVENTS=1

Karel

Hi,

One more correction, in etc/.magic must be "export" before SAN_ALL_EVENTS.

export SAN_ALL_EVENTS=1

steph007

root@plgestad4d02[/opt/stor2rrd]# cat ./etc/.magic
export SAN_ALL_EVENTS=1

So to be effective now, do I need to restart?

steph007

FYI I did not restart or do anything else that your procedure and it's working now.

I can see all events.

Is it possible to chose the minimum level? Like warning and more?

Karel

Hi,

use the following variable instead of "SAN_ALL_EVENTS" in etc/.magic.
Then only events with severity critical, error and warning will be presented.

export SAN_ALL_EVENTS=warning
