How to monitor SAN Switch

[wiproltdwiv]

Dear Sir/Madam,

Recently, We've added four SAN switch into NagiosXI which is added properly with only ping parameters. As we need to monitor the "Temperature" of these SAN switch
so we want to ask that NagiosXI tool having some options for this or we need to have plugins for the same, if yes then please suggest which plugins should have and complete steps.

What brand/model of SAN is it?

Have you tried searching the Nagios Exchange for san related checks for this brand/model?

You should be able to monitor the temperature on the switch with this plugin

In addition to what Scott mentioned, there are actually quite a few plugins that can be found at:

http://exchange.nagios.org/index.php?op ... cade%20SAN

A couple of the higher rated plugins mention that they do work on other brocade devices, likely because the OIDS may carry over. Though I'd recommend using check_snmp_temperature as that should take the OIDS you have without a doubt. Another option would be setting up an SNMP trap to be received for this:

Dear Sir/Madam,

As given by you in trail mail we've install the check_snmp_temperature plugin to monitor SAN switch with the below command line:

$USER1$/check_snmp_temperature.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C N^6^rdbk -T cisco -a '.' -A '.' -w 40 -c 50 BUT when we are checking this in our Nagios server by this command we're getting this error:

[root@EMSNagios1 libexec]# ./check_snmp_temperature.pl -H 10.128.32.31 -C N^6^rdbk -T cisco -a '.' -A '.' -w 40 -c 50
ERROR: Problem retrieving OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.13.1.3.1.2 table: No response from remote host '10.128.32.31'.

Along with this please find the another error :

Can you try to run the SNMP Walk Monitoring Wizard and see if you get any information back?
You can access this by clicking on Configure and then the Monitoring Wizard on the left hand side?

Dear Sir,

we tried this but we're getting trouble to mentioned all the required details like what should be the details under SNMP scan setting, SNMP Authentication and SNMP services. We've given to our device details as an attachment and we need to monitor temperature OID/parameter. But under SNMP services there is no temperature parameters instead of this there is sysName.0 along with this please provide complete steps with screen shot Which will help us to fill all the details.

Device Hostname: IBM_2498_B24_PUN_SW1
IP: 10.128.32.31
SAN Switch
model: IBM 2498

You will need to know the OID for the temperature from the vendor, if you run the SNMP walk wizard as you have on the previous screen you would want to specify a much larger number for the "Max Results:" as well as entering an "OID:" that is just above where the temperature OID is.
