Monitoring Cisco ASR 9000 series routers

Post by isanas »

Hi,
We have been trying to monitor Fan, Power and Temperature status on Cisco ASR 9000 series router. We see that there are OIDs for it 1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.2 & 1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.7. We tried using the plugin from https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... er/details.

But we have not been able to get it working. It keeps giving errors. Has anyone configured the above-mentioned monitoring successfully for ASR 9K?

Regards,
Anas.

That plugin requires some Perl Modules to be installed so it can function. Did you install them?
Make sure these packages are installed on the server.

Code: Select all

perl-Switch
perl-Scalar-List-Utils
perl-Net-SNMP
perl-Monitoring-Plugin
perl-Data-Dumper
When you run the plugin, what errors are you seeing?

What are the command line options that you are using to run the plugin?

The error generated is a fairly generic message but it pretty muck says that the device is not responding to the SNMP polls for the OID's it needs to run.
Verify that the all of the SNMPv3 credentials are correct.
Try running a snmpwalk command to see if it device responds to the walk to verify that the credentials.

You can add the debug option to the command and see if you can get a more detailed error.

Code: Select all

-d (--debug)      debug level (1 -> 15)
