NagiosXi SNMP Trap configuration Question

Post by mikemasters »

I have NagiosXI setup to receive traps from Windows servers, I receive the trap OK i see it in /var/log/messages , and the trap shows up in nagiosXI under the host as a Trap received.... But it does not look like the default windows MIBs are loaded because I get the message bellow in the NagiosXi GUI... and that matches what is in the messages file, so the snmptt is getting the trap and sending it to nagios but it does not know what it means..

A linkUp trap signifies that the SNMP entity, acting in an 65539 / ifIndex.65539 (INTEGER32):65539


I am trying to figure out how to get the Windows MIB files loaded in Nagios. I have not been able to find what I am looking for...
Any lead int eh right direction would be helpful, I am trying to switch our SNMP Trap monitoring for our windows servers to nagiosxi.

I couldn't find a guide with a quick Google search, but there is a folder that you drop the mib file into and that's it. That is to say you just install the mib into Linux generically in other words at the system level.

Ok so if I add MIB's from microsoft, and use instructions from the doc...Integrating_SNMP_Traps_With_XI.pdf, installing MIB's, and add the Microsoft MIB's

If I drop the file I need add the MIB directory and by using # addmib <PathToNewMIB> , and that will be all.?

Now to find the right MIB's....

Let us know if doing that's dosen't just work for you. The addmib script is to add alerts into the SNMP daemon, default configuring them to be pushed into Nagios. If the alerts are getting into Nagios then I'm unsure how effective this tool will be. It falls under the scope of editing the ??snmptt.config?? file to contain the words critical or warning. This script populates that file with the oid(s) it loads from the mib file.
