Missing POS Interface Statistics

I am monitoring a Cisco 7201 router (IOS 15.0.1M4) with Orion NPM v10.1. This router has a POS (Packet Over Sonet) interface and NPM does not appear to be collecting statistics for this interface; all the graphs for bps, utilization, errors, etc. report 'No Data For Selected Time Period'. Even the Percent Utilization Radial Guages report -2% RECV and XMIT Utilization. I'm also monitoring a Gigabit Ethernet interface on the same router and it is working fine. I've tried removing and re-adding the node in NPM, but this has not helped. Any thoughs on what I can do to get this working? Thanks in advance.

To add, I am using SNMP v2c and allow 64 bit counters. I had read other monitoring product thread posts mentioning this would be needed for monitoing POS interfaces.

This Cisco 7201 doesn't support Standard RFC pull which Orion used. You can create UDP ( Universal Device Poller ) in order to get the statistics from this interface.

Which OIDs would I want to check for this interface? I've looked at the ifHCInOctects / ifHCOutOctets but they're not generating any data. Since this interface is 155 Mbps, I would need a 64-bit counter.

You can run the MIB Walk in order to see what OID is associated and what value been returned by the interface.

So what is the MIB that I can use in order to get this traffic to show up in Orion for a POS interface?

Here is what MIB can do for you my dear..it can only will translate the OID and populate the meaning of OID number while creating UDP so you dont have to type the function of MIB ..

Were you able to get POS interface on Orion?
