Has any one been able to create an uptime report using the Cisco OID and get it coverted into days/hours/mins/?
Or anything close to pulling the information
Hi Marnell,
I believe uptime should be already monitored in the platform, which should convert it for you.
If you do not, however, your best bet will be to go through an SNMP walk, identify the uptime OID and add it as a Universal Device Poller. Once you have found the OID, I would suggest having a look on Google to confirm. There are several sites which will show you the name and description associated with OIDs.
When adding this as a UnDP, you should be able to select GET and the ability to output this as Time.
Once the UnDP is added and assigned to the node/s, you should see this on your node details page.
Let me know if you get stuck.
Kind regards,
J
I have created my own using custom properties to identify my circuits which show uptime during production hours.
Can you show me your results? Using the OID it displays 48485648948 hours. Providing this to a CIO does not show full validation. I am trying to pull what the switch displays in a sense of 1 year 23 week 3 day as an example.
The OID pulls an extended number that does not break down into years/weeks/days . I am able to display where it says 100% but providing information to higher up needs a more granular output.
On your UnDP it should allow you to convert it to a time function (although it has been a while since I have done this). Does that not break it down for you? Alternatively, you could look to create a custom resource on your page which converts it to the breakdown you are looking for.
One thing I would note though, I would have thought the OID would display in seconds, not hours, especially for up time.
