I just using authentication via password same as junos_exporter, may i use that ?

IOS XE may return the following output for a device with missing power input.

rudo4#sh environment summary

This results in the following metrics:

cisco_environment_power_up{instance="localhost:9362",item="P0 Iout",job="cisco",status="Normal",target="rudo4"}	1
cisco_environment_power_up{instance="localhost:9362",item="P0 Vin",job="cisco",status="Normal",target="rudo4"}	1
cisco_environment_power_up{instance="localhost:9362",item="P0 Vout",job="cisco",status="Normal",target="rudo4"}	1
cisco_environment_power_up{instance="localhost:9362",item="P1 Iout",job="cisco",status="Normal",target="rudo4"}	1
cisco_environment_power_up{instance="localhost:9362",item="P1 Vin",job="cisco",status="Normal",target="rudo4"}	1
cisco_environment_power_up{instance="localhost:9362",item="P1 Vout",job="cisco",status="Normal",target="rudo4"}	1

Hence it reports, that everything is fine, while the environment is burning.

Quick fix: Insist on an non-zero number while parsing.

powerRegexp[rpc.IOSXE], _ = regexp.Compile(`\s*(\w\w)\s*PEM (\w+)\s+(\w+)\s+[1-9]\d*\s[\s\w]*`)

Optimal solution: Return the number as the metric gauge value (instead of 1 or 0)

hi there.
when i want to install , i've a problem.

sajad:~$ go get -u github.com/lwlcom/cisco_exporter

cd .; git clone -- https://gopkg.in/yaml.v2 /root/go/src/gopkg.in/yaml.v2

Cloning into '/root/go/src/gopkg.in/yaml.v2'...
fatal: unable to access 'https://gopkg.in/yaml.v2/': server certificate verification failed. CAfile: none CRLfile: none
package gopkg.in/yaml.v2: exit status 128

It’d be great if timeouts for SSH connections could be configurable isntead of being hardcoded. This shouldn’t be too hard: basically we just have to push the flag down all the way to cachedConfig. We can keep the default of 5 seconds through the flag.

I’ll submit a PR for this; if this is of any interest, we can think about merging it—and whether anything is missing.

Cheers

Do you have a dashboard to use with this? Just wondering.

Hello,

When using "./cisco_exporter --config.file=config.yml" the following error appears:

flag provided but not defined: -config.file
Usage: cisco_exporter [ ... ]

Parameters:

  -bgp.enabled

Regards,

Just noticed error in log (upd, added with debug: true) :

Please let me know what kind of other info needed to troubleshoot.
And thanks for great exporter!

In the same spirit of #3, we should think about making the batch size for reads in readln configurable. Currently this is set to 10000, which is as good a default as any, but we experience this being a bottleneck when the responses get very big (in fact, we get a speedup of x2-x3 just by increasing that size with responses of a few 10k lines). It’d be great if we could fix this as in #4.

Since this is a bit deeper in the stack still, I’d like to know whether this is of general interest or whether this is a special case that only we experience. If it’s of interest, I can prepare a PR for this as well.

Cheers

hello guys how are you, i'm trying to install cisco_exporter and i'm facing a problem with the error below, and i don't know how to solve it since i still have little experience with linux,

./cisco_exporter -ssh.targets="10.10.3.254" -ssh.keyfile=cisco_exporter
INFO[0000] Loading config flags source="main.go:68"
FATA[0000] could not initialize exporter. could not initialize config for device ...: could not load ssh private key file: could not parse private key: ssh: no key found source="main.go:60"

I have three switches setup.
Somehow target/instance is mixed up/doubled between them?

cisco_up{hostname="<name1>", instance="<ip of name1>", job="cisco", target="<ip of name3>"}
cisco_up{hostname="<name1>", instance="<ip of name1>", job="cisco", target="<ip of name1>"}

Hello!

Is BGP metric disabled for NX-OS, because you couldn't test it or is it for some other reason? I forked your project and started debugging it and haven't ran into problems. Just have to enable check for NX-OS.

If it's for some other reason then I could try to fix it.

Anyways thanks alot for this project and I'll continue to work on it to support NX-OS, however as I'm starting to learn GO, so it will take some time.

Been trying to get this exporter to work, but no matter what I try, I always get this result (logs from the exporter). I have disabled all features other than facts for now:

2023/06/24 14:11:46 Running command on <redacted>:22: show version
Timeout reached
time="2023-06-24T14:13:26Z" level=error msg="<redacted>: Timeout reached"

The switch in question is a WS-C3560CG-8PC-S running 15.2(2)E10., and I know that is old but I had hoped would still be supported.

Logging on the switch shows successful login, and then some time after a logout:

Jun 24 13:48:45.932 UTC: %SEC_LOGIN-5-LOGIN_SUCCESS: Login Success [user: prometheus] [Source: <redacted>] [localport: 22] at 13:48:45 UTC Sat Jun 24 2023
Jun 24 13:49:45.983 UTC: %SYS-6-LOGOUT: User prometheus has exited tty session 2(<redacted>)

I'm also able to login manually using the ssh credential and user name (prometheus), and then run the show version and the other commands in the facts feature just fine, so I don't think it is a privilege level problem?

I'm at a loss, and would very much appreciate some clues or additional debugging steps I could take.

Thanks
