Except for leaving out the part of having to define a host, the "Configuration of SNMP command block" section of this does pretty good job - https://www.psychz.net/client/question/ ... oring.html. The service must be associated with a host but this is easy to set up - https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... .html#host. Using their example, the host definition would look like:

Code: Select all

define host{
        use generic-host
        host_name test.linux.com
}
You'll also want to use OIDs found in firewall's MIB instead of(or in addition to) their example OIDs.
