How do I change the nagios community string if I don't want to use public? I assume it's in snmpd.conf somewhere. Can I just change "public" to the string I want in this code? # First, map the community name "public" into a "security name" # sec.name source community co...

I've configured traps through the wizard. The traps services is running on all my hosts in Nagios. It says "waiting for traps". Per the previous guide in this thread, I set one of my windows hosts to send a trap whenever a service is started or stopped. However, when I start or stop a serv...

This looks like it might work. I set windows to send a trap whenever a service is started or stopped. I see net-snmp is already installed on Nagios and I can run it. The guide doesn't have much info on what commands I use for snmptrap. Can you help me with this. The help file is pretty hard to under...

Yes many times. I changed the "Normal" to "Critical" for all events in the snmptt.conf file, and then stopped snmp on the windows server. All that happened was the traps service for all my devices in Nagios said "pending." I read some other guide that said if you turn o...

How can I send a test trap from a windows machine and verify on Nagios that it was received? I have run tcpdump and saw when I stopped and started the snmp service on the windows machine that nagios received traps about that. Does that mean everything is working? How can I simulate something going w...

I think I already have Nagios set up to be able to receive traps. When I followed the directions in your guide, at the yum install command. It says: [root@nagios tmp]# yum --nogpgcheck localinstall snmptt-1.3-3.nagios.noarch.rpm Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, security Setting up Local Package Proces...

I am monitoring my Sonicwall's uptime, CPU, RAM, connections, however when I try to monitor VPN status, i'm not getting back any data from the host. When I look at this OID in my MIB browser, it looks different than the others. In iReasoning brower, the other OID's i'm monitoring have a green icon. ...

I think the steps in that tutorial are wrong. I found another guide on some blog and went back through the whole process according to the new steps and it worked. If I come across that guide again I will post the URL here. Thanks

Ok I figured out how to do it in the SNMP Wizard. Thanks.

The addmib command is doing nothing. "command not found" Is there no way to do any of thise in the GUI? In the Core configurato - Services, there is a place to Add Service. Once the MIB's are ready, can I create the services here? Is there a guide for that? I've got the check_snmp command ...
