->Do we have any snmp script for all resource monitoring (like CPU, Memory, Disk Utilization & Disk Space)

Here's a brief overview of how plugins work in Nagios Core:
https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ugins.html

check_snmp can be used to query any OID you want (system info, specific equipment OIDs like fan speed, whatever):
https://nagios-plugins.org/doc/man/check_snmp.html

Otherwise there are thousands of plugins available on the Nagios Exchange for all sorts of SNMP based monitoring:

->How can we configure snmp traps in nagios core .If yes could you please guide me how to configure.

Here's some documentation to get you started. If you have more specific questions regarding SNMP traps, you could probably get answers on the forums.

->Can I get any easily understandable document of Nagios with example script .

I'm not sure what you mean by this. The base Nagios Core installation includes some sample object configurations that should be able to get you started on a basic level with just copy+pasting. There are also tutorial videos for each page in Nagios Core.

Here's the full documentation for Nagios configuration objects, but it's a bit heavy:

-> Can we schedule reports and Can we view reports in easily understandable format

Nagios XI includes scheduled reporting out-of-the-box. Nagios Core does not include such functionality.

Nagios Core can generate one-off reports, it just can't regularly schedule/email them to you.

->Also help me in configuring the switches

Not sure what you mean by this?

->Also help me in configuring the switches

I think @mcapra covered the rest. I assume you are talking about network switches. Here's our documentation for Core: https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... uters.html

There is a switch wizard in XI. Much of our XI documentation will also work for Core. The major difference is the things you do in the UI in XI you do by hand in Core.

Hi Team,

Thanks for your response but for the points i mentioned were all for nagios core and in that few links were not working and for few are not appropriate

->Do we have any snmp script for all resource monitoring (like CPU, Memory, Disk Utilization & Disk Space)-- this also didn't work . As asked for snmp scripts for resource monitoring.Please find one of the script which i am using for memory utilization monitoring(to use this script the snmp should be enabled in the monitored machine with community string and the IP) and right now I am using this only in window and i wanted the scripts for both linux and windows

->How can we configure snmp traps in nagios core .If yes could you please guide me how to configure.---I have seen the official blog of nagios and there it clearly mentioned snmp traps don't work on nagios core and u gave a link for that stating in which the matter is written as it works for core but when i clicked on that particular link it is giving few libex file which does not work for nagios core.

Kindly check and help us in getting more information regarding this

It looks like all of the links work except the one for check_snmp. Here's the appropriate link: https://nagios-plugins.org/doc/man/check_snmp.html

Are you copying and pasting or clicking? The forum auto-shortens URLs. You will need to click.

If there are files that are not in your libexec directory, you will need to download them. Can you be more specific about which ones you could not find?
