monitoring hp procurve

Post by jtintegration »

We have HP Procurve on campus, I would like to monitor interfaces for broadcast, error, drop and bytes count. Currently I am only monitor for up/down swtiches, would like to add this for monitoring. What is best way to do this?

thanks

Looking at the script code, https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... rs/details seems like a good candidate.

I have successfully downloaded and installed plug-in, based on captured picture. I am not sure how to test the plugin command line and define command? If my switch is 10.1.1.1, how to I test and define command? Thanx

Page 3 of https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ios-XI.pdf shows how to test from command line. You just need to use check_snmp_hp-procurve-counters.sh instead of the example plugin. In this case /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_snmp_hp-procurve-counters.sh $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$ where you fill in the variables with the appropriate real-world values (the host you are checking, for example).

It looks like you also need to run chown apache.nagios /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_snmp_hp-procurve-counters.sh

As far as defining the command, you'll need to look at the documentation for the plugin.
