Monitoring IT Watchdogs Temp Monitors

[centwisit]

I am trying to use a plugin (http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Pl ... se/details) to monitor our 2 Microgoose temp monitors. I am getting a "Return code of 126 is out of bounds - plugin may not be executable" in Nagios and don't believe I've got it set up correctly. Is there anyone using Microgoose temp monitors and/or this plugin that have an idea what I am missing here?

The commands:

define command{
command name check_server_room_temp
command_line $USER1$/check_temp.sh -H 10.1.1.30 [-f] -w 80 -c 95
}

define command{
command name check_telco_room_temp
command_line $USER1$/check_temp.sh -H 10.1.1.31 [-f] -w 80 -c 95
}

Have you made sure that the plugin is where Nagios expects it to be, and that it has execute permissions? This is most likely one of those two issues.

[centwisit]

The plugin is located in the libexec folder along with all the other plugins.

I made the file executable and am now getting "Return code of 127 is out of bounds - plugin may be missing" link Nagios doesn't see the plugin.

What is the [-f] flag for? Can you run the check from the cli?

Code: Select all

su nagios
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_temp.sh -H 10.1.1.30 [-f] -w 80 -c 95

After a couple of days of frustration I've switched to trying just the straignt check_snmp plugin. So, scrap the above complaint and replace it with the following.

What I'm trying to do:
Using Nagios I am trying to monitor two different IT Watchdog "Microgoose" Temperature Monitors via the check_snmp plugin.

The Code:
in commands.cfg
define command{
command_name check_server_room_temp
command_line $USER1$/check_snmp -H IP ADDRESS -C COMMUNITY STRING -o OID -w 70 -c 90
}

define command{
command_name check_telco_room_temp
command_line $USER1$/check_snmp -H IP ADDRESS -C COMMUNITY STRING -o OID -w 70 -c 90
}

in definitions.cfg
define service{
use generic-service
host Server Temp Mon
service_description Server Room Temp Monitor
contact_groups serveradmins
check_command check_server_room_temp
}

define service{
use generic-service
host Server Temp Mon
service_description Server Room Temp Monitor
contact_groups serveradmins
check_command check_telco_room_temp
}

The Issue:
When looking at the listings for the two temp monitors they both return "External command error: Error in packet".

The Issue:
When looking at the listings for the two temp monitors they both return "External command error: Error in packet".

This error is usually due to issues with mibs/oids.

1. What oid are you checking for?
2. Do you have a mib with that oid installed?

[centwisit]

I'm using what I believe is the OID for the Microgoose monitor: http://oid-info.com/get/1.3.6.1.4.1.17373. I'm not sure it's correct though.

As for your second question I don't know how to do that or how to check if it's already done.

[abrist]

Lets walk the device and check for that oid:

Code: Select all

snmpwalk -v1 -c <community> <device ip>

This should give you a nice list of a bunch of oids. Lets grep it for the oid in question:

Code: Select all

snmpwalk -v1 -c <community> <device ip> | grep 1.3.6.1.4.1.17373

Or:

Code: Select all

snmpwalk -v1 -c <community> <device ip> | grep 17373

I then updated the commands.cfg code I shared above with the greped OID and Nagios now returns "Service Check Timed Out".

EDIT: modified the "service_check_timeout" line in nagios.cfg from 60 to 120 to give it more time to communicate, didn't seem to help.

You may need a mib for this device in order to decipher with oid/mib string you need to check for temp. I would suggest contacting the vendor of your device for the correct mib.
