Monitoring CPU and Memory Utilization for Network Devices

Post by RIDS_I2MP »

Hello Team,

We want monitor Parameters like CPU Utilization and Memory Utilization for Cisco Devices like Switch, Router, Firewall etc.

Please provide us a document or else walk us through entire procedure of how to do this. Is there any particular Monitoring Wizard or any plugins available to do that.
Thanks & Regards,
I2MP Team.

Hi,

Take a look at these documents, they contain information on SNMP and demo a couple of Nagios wizards.

https://support.nagios.com/kb/article/n ... s-866.html

https://support.nagios.com/kb/article/n ... p-249.html

And here is documentation on SNMP in general:
http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/wiki/in ... /Tutorials

To get your feet wet You can use the SNMP Walk wizard in NagiosXI to poll one of your network devices. A lot
of OIDs (sort of like "keys") are vendor specific and require you to have the vendor's MIB files for the particular
devices you want to monitor.

Once you get a chance to look at the documentation let me know if you have any specific questions.

Thanks
