OVS statistic SNMP tests.

Important:

OvS stats can be read directly from OvS using standard SNMP MIBs (IF_MIB) and this does not require OvS plugin availability.

Tests precondition:

  1. SNMP installed and configured.
  2. OvS installed and running.
  3. Standard SNMP MIBS are installed.
  4. Important NOTE: No need in OvS plugin.

Useful information:

  1. IF-MIB starting OID

     .1.3.6.1.2.1.2

  2. Reading list of interfaces from Standard IF_MIB
    snmpwalk -v2c -cpublic localhost .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2

  3. Actual OID for OvS interfaces will be stable during current system run, but will differs between different system runs. For example:
    ....................................................................

    iso.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2.311 = STRING: "br0"
    iso.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2.314 = STRING: "test_port1"

  4. List of Counters means simple counters, not detailed.
    For example:

    iso.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.311 = Counter32: 0
    iso.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.11.311 = Counter32: 0
    iso.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.12.311 = Counter32: 0
    iso.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.13.311 = Counter32: 6524
    iso.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.14.311 = Counter32: 0
    iso.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.15.311 = Counter32: 0
    iso.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.16.311 = Counter32: 6025
    iso.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.17.311 = Counter32: 48
    iso.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.18.311 = Counter32: 0
    iso.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.19.311 = Counter32: 0
    iso.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.20.311 = Counter32: 0
