ACE30 Monitoring with SNMP


I have been preparing some KPI for ACE30 blades which can give me a macro status of all services provided in several contexts inside ACE.

The goal is to measure these KPIs with SNMP using MRTG for example, builing a graph.
The interesting mibs that can be monitored are:
- Number of connection currently in use per context
- Traffic in and out of the ACE30 blade (16G connection to the backplane)
- CPU

Regarding the number of connections, you have to do it per context based. So, you will need an IP address in each context for snmp pooling proposes.
In my MRTG I am using the mib:

enterprises.9.9.480.1.1.2.1.8.7.100.101.102.97.117.108.116.3

As for traffic, the best way (till now) is to browse your interfaces with "snmp mib ifindex ifmib" and get the interface id to the ACE30. It will come up as a TenG interface.
