SNMP CRITICAL - *up(1)*

[silentnoise]

Hi,

i`m new in nagios.
I`m trying to monitor my Home-Network.

In this case i am trying to monitor the upstates of my 8-Port-Switch by 3Com.

In Port 1,7 and 8 is inserted an Cable.
Port 1 is the Uplink
On Port 7 and 8 i?ve plugged 2 Devices.

Only the port 1 is ok.
The rest gives the State "CRITICAL"

Code: Select all

Port 1 Link Status

define hostgroup {

hostgroup_name switches ; The name of the hostgroup
alias Network Switches ; Long name of the group
}



define service {

service_description Port 8 Link Status
check_command check_snmp!-C public -o ifOperStatus.1 -r 8 -m RFC1213-MIB

Can anybody help me, to find the failure?
Why is the state critical ?

You have an error in the service config:

For interface 1 use:

Code: Select all

check_command check_snmp!-C public -o ifOperStatus.1 -r 1 -m RFC1213-MIB

For interface 2 use:

Code: Select all

check_command check_snmp!-C public -o ifOperStatus.[b]2[/b] -r [b]1[/b] -m RFC1213-MIB

The -r should always have 1 (or up)

The number behind ifOperStatus is the interface number, the -r option is what is expected from the output (in regex)

Hi,
thanks for reply.
Are you sure ?




I changed into:

Code: Select all

define service {

        use                                 generic-service
        host_name                      3-Com-Switch
        service_description          Port 2 Link Status
        check_command              check_snmp!-C public ifOperStatus.2 -r 1 -m RFC1213-MIB
}

It says:

Code: Select all

3-Com-Switch
	
	
Port 2 Link Status
	
	UNKNOWN 	05-13-2021 19:13:21 	0d 0h 5m 47s 	3/3 	External command error: Error in packet 

Service Unknown[05-13-2021 19:13:21] SERVICE ALERT: 3-Com-Switch;Port 2 Link Status;UNKNOWN;HARD;3;External command error: Error in packet

Your command is nog correct anymote. I think it's missing the -o

Code: Select all

define service {

        use                                 generic-service
        host_name                      3-Com-Switch
        service_description          Port 2 Link Status
        check_command              check_snmp!-C public ifOperStatus.2 -r 1 -m RFC1213-MIB
}

Should be

Code: Select all

define service {

        use                                 generic-service
        host_name                      3-Com-Switch
        service_description          Port 2 Link Status
        check_command              check_snmp!-C public -o ifOperStatus.2 -r 1 -m RFC1213-MIB
}

Hi,

i`m sorry i forgot the "-o".
I write it manually into the post.

define service {

use generic-service
host_name 3-Com-Switch
service_description Port 2 Link Status
check_command check_snmp!-C public -o ifOperStatus.2 -r 1 -m RFC1213-MIB
}

This is the ertry in the file...

What do you see if you execute the command in the command line?

Can you post that? Command and output.

[silentnoise]

But it doesn't work

[silentnoise]

root@raspberrypi:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# ./check_snmp -H 192.168.178.3 public -o ifOperStatus.2 -r 1 -m RFC1213-MIB
External command error: Error in packet
Reason: (noSuchName) There is no such variable name in this MIB.
Failed object: RFC1213-MIB::ifOperStatus.2

[silentnoise]

I`ve done a SNMPwalk.

Is it possible that the other ports cannot be read out?

[rhassing]

What happens if you don't specify the mib file?
So don't use the -m option.
