Description

When we launch the collection on a set of devices, we only receive the counters from the management interface, but no others:

When the same query is made on another set of device, we do receive the counters from all interfaces.


All the equipment has the same telemetry configuration, and when we request the other sensors, it works fine. This only happens with the interface counters.

Symptoms

error: communication failure with /re0/dot1xd-agent/

  1. The producer app is either down or unresponsive

    Run "show system processes node <node> | grep <app>" to check if app is running

    Run "show system application app <app>" to check the state of the app

  2. If there is a change in mastership recently, please wait for the switchover to complete for the app to be online

    Run "request chassis routing-engine master switch check" to check the status of switchover

Solution

The producer state of dot1xd-agent app is in standby state instead of active & hence the sensor logs are seeing issue with communication to same, which can impact counter info collection.

 

NPOA in MW:

request system application app dot1xd-agent node re0 restart

show system applications app dot1xd-agent

 

  • If interface counter issue is not resolved after above, then try this.
