HOST UP/DOWN

[progressive.nagiosXI]

Hi,

How we can monitor hosts UP/Down with SNMP. currently we are using ./check_snmp -H $ IP $ -o Sysuptime -v 2c -c $STRING$.

Please help

Within the confines of using SNMP, any check would suffice. However, if SNMP has issues then the host would appear down. Is there any reason you cannot use a simple ping?

hi,,
If SNMP is issue it's showing OK by using this command ./check_snmp -H $ IP $ -o Sysuptime -v 2c -c $STRING$.

If we change the OID to sysuptime to anyother it"ll show unknown "not getting SNMP Responce"...............

Is there anyway to know How many different OID (like Sysuptime ) ??

You can use our SNMP Walk wizard to get a list of available OIDs on a device.
