You may need to contact Brocade for more information on what OID's need to be polled to gather that information.

I think you need to specify the specific OIDs you need to poll on the device.
Also, you may need to setup the firewall to allow the Nagios server to poll the Brocade server.
I suggest going to Brocade's site and search there and see if you can find a document on enabling SNMP on your device.

Hi tgriep,
I have came across configuring the Firewall Device. I am configuring it with check_nwc_health and its working fine for interface-errors and uptime but for memory-usage, cpu-load and hardware-health, its not fetching data and exits with output : Mode memory-usage not implemented for this type of device. Please guide me what can be done here.
Make&Model - Fortigate 300D.

CPU Usage - .1.3.6.1.4.1.12356.101.4.1.3.0
snmpget -v2c -cENS-SNMP 192.168.30.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.12356.101.4.1.3.0
output - SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.12356.101.4.1.3.0 = Gauge32: 2

Memory Usage - .1.3.6.1.4.1.12356.101.4.1.4.0
snmpget -v2c -cENS-SNMP 192.168.30.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.12356.101.4.1.4.0
output - SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.12356.101.4.1.4.0 = Gauge32: 71

I would guess that the plugin is having problems identifying your device so you would need to specify it in the check_nwc_health command like the example below

Code: Select all

--servertype Fortigate
