How to add Custom MIB.txt to Nagios

[np-zefug]

Hello,

i'm a new nagios AND linux user and want to test nagios with our Sophos Firewall.
I already installed nagios 3.4.1 successfully, downloaded the MIB-File(.txt) from the Firewall but do not know how to add the mibs to nagios.

Is there a Plugin or sth. like that to add this customs MIB's?

thank you.

Nagios core just uses net-snmp. Copy the MIB to your MIBs directory (usually /usr/share/snmp/mibs) and you should be in business.

Thank you for your quick answer!!!

I got the following Folder in: /usr/share/snmp/

mib2c-data and snmpconf-data.

Should i just creat the Folder "mib" and copy the txt there?
must i restart some Services or something like that?
Thank you

Thanks for your answer! In the SNMP Folder are following Directorys:

mib2c-data snmpconf-data

should i add the MIBS Directory and copy the Mib.txt in there?
Must i restart some services or something like that?

thanks

You may need to do some fiddling to find your mibs directory - your installation isn't what we would see as the standard here.

This is the documentation you need: http://www.net-snmp.org/wiki/index.php/ ... ading_MIBS

Note specifically this part:

Note that many distributions change the default paths. To find out which directories are used on your system, run the following command:

Code: Select all

net-snmp-config --default-mibdirs

Once you get the mib in the right folder there is no need to restart any services or such.
