SNMP Query

[Malcz86]

I'm trying to setup Nagios to monitor SNMP from our BES server. We've got three different mail stores that it access's and I'm trying to use SNMP to display total amount of users from each store by using the BLACKBERRYSERVERMIB-SMIV2 and the below OID's.

besMailServerHealthTotalUsers.23 (1.3.6.1.4.1.3530.5.26.1.10.23)
besMailServerHealthTotalUsers.24 (1.3.6.1.4.1.3530.5.26.1.10.24)
besMailServerHealthTotalUsers.25 (1.3.6.1.4.1.3530.5.26.1.10.25)

I can snmpwalk these fine from the linux command prompt but I can not snmpget them which is what Nagios is trying to do. This isn't really a Nagios problem but I figured there may be some SNMP wizz's here. So any suggestions?

Malcz,

Try this. You'll need to do this in your /usr/local/nagios/libexec directory

./check_snmp -H <BES Server Address> -C <community string> -o besMailServerHealthTotalUsers.23 -w <warning val> -c <critical val>

If you're using SNMPv3 you'll have to add the necessary -a, -A, -x, -X values.

Same as running the snmpget command,

SNMP problem - No data received from host
CMD: /usr/bin/snmpget -t 1 -r 5 -m ALL -v 1 [authpriv] 10.2.10.136:161 besMailServerHealthTotalUsers.23

Hm, thats what it says when the OID is not entered properly. Are you absolutely sure the OID is properly typed in?

[Malcz86]

Yes, the command I'm running is

snmpget -v 2c -m +BLACKBERRYSERVERMIB-SMIV2 -c LONSVWIN207 10.2.10.136 1.3.6.1.4.1.3530.5.26.1.10.23

If I walk this command instead

snmpwalk -v 2c -m +BLACKBERRYSERVERMIB-SMIV2 -c $community$ $host$ 1.3.6.1.4.1.3530.5.26.1.10.23

The correct information is displayed. I suspect the issue is linux thinks theres multiple OID's under 1.3.6.1.4.1.3530.5.26.1.10.23 when in fact there's only one. I've tried getting around this by adding a .0 but with no joy.

[nscott]

Does that particular OID have a name attached, or is that all you can get?

[Malcz86]

The name is,

besMailServerHealthTotalUsers.23

but I just tried walking and getting this and it behaves exactly the same as the numbers.
