Hello. NetBrain R11.1

I’d like to pull SFP DOM information to trigger warnings / alarms when threshold values are met. 

Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) for monitoring SFP transceiver performance and temperature:

  • Enable DOM on the device.
    • Assumes DOM capable SFP’s are used
  • Example:

SW1(config)#transceiver type all

SW1(config-xcvr-type)#monitoring

SW1(config-xcvr-type)#end

Then use the DOM specific commands to display details:

SW1(config)#sh int gi 1/3 transceiver detail

         Optical                  High Alarm  High Warn  Low Warn   Low Alarm

         Transmit Power     Threshold   Threshold  Threshold  Threshold

Port     (dBm)                  (dBm)       (dBm)      (dBm)      (dBm)

-------  -----------------  ----------  ---------  ---------  ---------

Gi1/3      -27.7                  0.9            -1.0         -11.5       -13.5

          Optical            High Alarm High Warn Low Warn Low Alarm

         Receive Power    Threshold Threshold  Threshold  Threshold

Port     (dBm)              (dBm)       (dBm)         (dBm)       (dBm)

-------  -----------------  ----------  ---------  ---------  ---------

Gi1/3     -7.2                     0.7           -1.0         -20.0       -24.0

 

Would this be better for a Network Intent or a Qapp? Feels like a Qapp might be better in this case.

Hi @Dug1609 

I would approach this as follows:

Create a Dynamic Device Group with all devices you want to query.

Create a Qapp with the command “show interfaces transceiver” and use the parser “Interface Transceiver sCisco IOS]” which assigns variables to all values.

Convert the table to a Global table and filter the CSV export for variable threshold violation.

Then, create a scheduled Qapp, assign a schedule (e.g. once a day), let the Qapp run on your Device Group and have the export send to an email address.
