#1 favorite -- "Which is the any key"? {Response to telling the customer, press any key" #2 favorite -- (am dating myself) -- Customer has unlabeled disks (yes, in the day of 8" floppy disk) -- trying to help the customer to find their word processor software (wordstar) -- Me: "Ok, let's insert the first disk" Customer:…

I'll see about doing that -- just noticed that the same "module" sensor for Temperature does it RIGHT -- eg, it's plotting the VALUE, not the AVAILABILITY.

No worries -- I think the point is, Orion's "sensor" capaibility "knows" the weird layout -- but is just logging, long-term, the "availability" of the sensor (eg, 100% or 0%) -- which is kinda not what folks need -- they need the VALUE of the sensor (like -7.3 db this week, and it's dropping to -7.9db next week, etc)…

Unfortunately, you can't (or at least, I can't see any way) -- the layout of the MIB is an "every 5th entry" scenario (see my earlier post in this thread) -- the Universal poller is expecting all "Rx Power" as a group, all "Tx power" as a group, etc -- Cisco didn't do it that way.

Wow -- we found it. Now, it's graphing it as "availability" at 100% -- that's not meaningful for most people -- what is needed is to graph the VALUE over time -- so that we can see if a given connection is drifting UP or DOWN in power.

That looks like exactly what the OP and I are looking to do -- is that from "Network Performance Monitor" -- I'm not seeing anything in ours labeled "Sensors"

Ah, I had googled various SQL constructs and had come across CONTAINS -- I suspect it must be in some SQL implementations and not in others. LIKE works -- now that I know the syntax. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14290857/sql-select-where-field-contains-words https://blog.udemy.com/sql-contains/ ** For those looking…

Our limited testing show them as dBm values. We aren't using any custom pollers, etc. The values match up to our Cisco "show interface x/y/z transceiver detail" values -- which are in dBm Typically we see negative values for "receive" and either very close to zero, if not positive, for "transmit". ...Chuck

There is a MIB to poll -- but it is not layed out in the format of iFIndex -- eg, sequentially "all the Rx" values, then "all the Tx" values. It's every 5th value. And a separate OID to poll to get the matching list of physical interfaces. I've also posted a similar "how would you poll this" -- but I think we can't,…

Stephen, that worked perfectly !! My sincere thanks. Now, in the 'teach a man to fish' category - two quick followup questions: 1) How could I have found out the name of the field I wanted was 'Interfaces.InterfaceAlias' -- on my own. 2) I had googled about SQL syntax and thought I could use CONTAINS -- is that not a valid…

I wanted to update my post that the latest "Perfstack" does allow you to dynamically create a graph of the Optic Levels. Example:
