monitor switch device temperature and fan speed by OID

[inas.labib]

Hi Team,


Please advice on how to enable monitoring for Switch device environment variables (temperature and Fan speed,Health status) using OID of switch device given below.

We use: Nagios XI 5.2.2
Name: "chassis" DESCR= ASA 5525-x PID= ASA5525 VID=VI03

ENTITY-MIB:entPhyiscalTable / 1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1

[88] 1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.2. entPhysicalDescr
[89] 1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.3. entPhysicalVendorType
[90] 1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.4. entPhysicalContainedIn

[94] 1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.8. entPhysicalHardwareRev

from the above details from switch

Thanks,

use the Nagios XI SNMP walk wizard and enter those OID's.

from there you'll be able to follow prompts and set them up as services.

On listing we could find the below details available

SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.47.1.1.1.1.2.8 = STRING: "Chassis Cooling Fan 1"
SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.47.1.1.1.1.2.9 = STRING: "Chassis Cooling Fan 1 Sensor"
SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.47.1.1.1.1.2.10 = STRING: "Chassis Cooling Fan 2"
SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.47.1.1.1.1.2.11 = STRING: "Chassis Cooling Fan 2 Sensor"
SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.47.1.1.1.1.2.12 = STRING: "Chassis Cooling Fan 3"
SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.47.1.1.1.1.2.13 = STRING: "Chassis Cooling Fan 3 Sensor"

SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.47.1.1.1.1.7.9 = STRING: "Chassis Fan Sensor 1"

From this data how can we bring out the requirement for Cisco ASA 5525-x software version 9.4

Did you set the OIDs found from the snmpwalk wizard as services?

From this data how can we bring out the requirement for Cisco ASA 5525-x software version 9.4

Are you trying to get actual numbers(integers) from this ASA switch?

nagios@ds$:/usr/local/nagios/libexec$ ./check_nwc_health --hostname=******--protocol=3 --username=####--authpassword=###@#@--authprotocol=MD5 --mode=hardware-health --units=% --warning=80
OK - no alarms, environmental hardware working fine | 'fan_Chassis Fan Sensor 2'=6144;;;; 'fan_Chassis Fan Sensor 3'=6144;;;; 'temp_CPU Temperature Sensor 0/0'=57;;;; 'temp_Chassis Ambient Temperature Sensor 1'=38;;;; 'temp_Chassis Ambient Temperature Sensor 2'=33;;;; 'temp_Chassis Ambient Temperature Sensor 3'=37;;;; 'fan_Chassis Fan Sensor 1'=6144;;;;


is that possible from the above output to get the fan's RPM and temperature of network device separately

Also please advise on using the OID to get this data, I have tried below way but i couldn't get the required output

these are your description OID's, you need to use the ones that represent the speeds.

try using the snmp walk wizard for this. it's hard to say how that plugin will function.

[kyang]

Thanks for the help @tacolover101.

inas.labib, please follow tacolover101's suggestions, and let us know if you have any more questions.

Try using the correct OID's for speed.

[inas.labib]

I am able to get the out put from snmp wizard as informed. Please guide me how to configure the same using the plugin

OID's for Environmental status is 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.13.1.3.1.6

Output from Device is below, MIBS are available in switch.

I tried with one of the plugin for cisco available from Nagios exchange :
./check_cisco_switch.pl -H 10.xx.xxx.xxx -C public -t temp -w 50 -c 60
Remote device does not return data for temp

i get the same message for other modes like cpu fan etc. Please advise

[kyang]

I'm not sure which plugin you are trying to use. So far there are 3 that you have tested.

Code: Select all

check_nwc_health

check_snmp_temperature.pl

check_cisco_switch.pl

Usually, the --help options are a good place to look at.

./check_cisco_switch.pl -H 10.xx.xxx.xxx -C public -t temp -w 50 -c 60
Remote device does not return data for temp

As for this, I think the error is what it says. You may have to contact the author using his GitHub to know it's exact functionality.

Hi There,

i'm trying to use check_snmp_temperature.pl. For the same switch snmpwalk wizard is successful. But snmp gets time out here with below message. SNMPv3 protocol used in the second command. Environmental oid is 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.13.1.3.1.6. Or is there any other plugin we can use to get the data for Temp and Fan status ok/down
