iControl web app to generate data for Cacti graphing

Ok, this is very NON scientific, so chalk it up in the category of passing interest to this discussion.

 

 

Run from localhost, pulling SSL client SSL native stat information:

 

[root@bigip1:Active:avc(0)] tmp time snmpget -Ont localhost -c public .1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.1.1.2.9.6.0

 

.1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.1.1.2.9.6.0 = Counter64: 0

 

 

real 0m0.167s

 

user 0m0.049s

 

sys 0m0.109s

 

 

From my remote system (windows XP running pycontrol)

 

In [22]: timeit s.get_client_ssl_statistics()

 

1 loops, best of 3: 197 ms per loop

 

 

The 197ms includes serialization of the XML request, tcp-ip stand up, SSL negotiation, the SOAP request/response, and de-serialization of the XML into a python object. 167 vs. 197 isn't too shabby. Also the iControl call pulls much, much more data.

 

 

System wise, if I do something like this:

 

while True:

 

hammer snmp or iControl

 

sleep(1)

 

 

I don't see a major difference between the two. I'm not claiming this is definitive, but it's certainly of interest...
