which Nortel and firewall device wizard

[ganeshkagde]

Hi Team,

which wizard should be use for Nortel and firewall devices to enroll into Nagios XI?

[cdienger]

I would suggest looking into and trying https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... th/details which can be used with a number of devices including Nortel and other firewalls.

@cdienger in hyper link there is tar (check_nwc_health-7.0.1.2.tar) file, which do i need to download it and upload it into Nagios Xi, am i correct?
if yes then can i upload it as it is?
this 7.0.1.2 version is compatible with check_load v2.0.3 (nagios-plugins 2.0.3)?

kindly help me on above questions.

You can download and install it from the command line with:

cd /tmp
wget https://labs.consol.de/assets/downloads ... 1.2.tar.gz
tar -xzvf check_nwc_health-7.0.1.2.tar.gz
cd check_nwc_health-7.0.1.2
./configure
make
make install

Prior to running the install though I would suggest reviewing the README file found in the tar.gz file in case you need to make adjustments to the installation.

I've installed it on a test machine and don't see any compatibility problems with the 2.0.3 version of check_load.

What are you looking to monitor on your network devices?

If all you are looking to do is to monitor the devices interface status and bandwidth, you would use the Network Switch / Router Wizard in XI.
This is a video on how to run the wizard.

Hi Team,

I want to monitor of network device chassis, temperature, interfaces, etc...

This wizard that @tgriep mentioned is spot on.

If that doesn't work, the SNMP walk wizard should be accomplish it too.

Thanks @rkennedy for the help.

There is not a Wizard written for the check_nwc_health plugin so you would have to create a command for it by going to the Core Config Manager > Commands menu and add a new command.
Call it this

Code: Select all

check_nwc_health

set the command line to this

Code: Select all

$USER1$/check_nwc_health -H $HOSTADDRESS$ --community $ARG1$ --mode $ARG2$ $ARG3$

Make it active, save and Apply the Config.

When you create a Service Check, you would use check_nwc_health as the command.
In $ARG1$ you would put in the community string for the device.
And in the $ARG2$ field, you would put in this for the mode
hardware-health

If the device supports it, that will check the following
(Check the status of environmental equipment (fans, temperatures, power))

Here is a list of modes that the plugin can do.
