Wired Intelligent Edge

Hello,

I have several optical links which I want to monitor it's Rx power. I tried installing the transceiver_power_monitor.1.0 script but the graph only says "No chart data available in selected range".

I've tried it on versions 10.01.0011 and 10.01.0030. Any idea if I'm doing something wrong?

I checked that valid optics are being monitored so that's not the issue, has anyone had experience with this script?

Cheers,

Aarón

Please check the time of your CX switch.

Your browser and your swtich should be synchronized with the same UTC time (not necessary in same timezone).

Hi,

Vincent, the rest of the graphs work as expected, it seems as the script is not being able to gather the optic info from the interfaces.

Parnassus, I'm trying to monitor just Rx power but no data is being gathered, what optics are you monitoring? Any QSFP+ LR interfaces?

Cheers,

Aarón

Hi Aarón, confirmed.

No DACs Rx/Tx power monitor in my case. I deployed another Agent with the same same script selecting 1/1/49, 1/1/50, 1/1/52 and 1/1/53 (all DACs type QSFP+DA1 Part Number 8121-1622 with Aruba SKU JH234A which IS NOT listed among SKUs with specified thresholds reported above) but, as you, no joy.

Note I customized the Agent to monitor both Rx and Tx of the same group of four DACs (they are used on lag128 for VSX ISL).

Can't DAC cables Rx/Tx Power (as being seen at QSFP+ slot) be monitored?

Hey Parnassus,

AFAIK DACs don't have optical electronics so you won't be able to monitor them. On CLI you can see the details of the transceivers but DACs show nothing.

I'm trying to monitor QSFP+ LR, on the first graph you posted where you do have data, what type of transceiver are those?

Yeah, I supposed that about DACs.

About your question: SFP+ monitored are HPE X132 10G SFP+ LC SR Transceiver (J9150A).

Installed on Aruba 8320 VSX (10.01.0030) and that is what it reports (note: limit of 8 - selectable - concurrent monitored Transceivers per Agent, you can let a single Agent to monitor either Rx Power or Tx Power or a mix of them for selected Transceiver...but you can't do more than 8 concurrently...just only up to 8 at time per Agent):
