Loading MIB's into Nagios

[thennessey]

I've downloaded the Sonicwall MIB's for my firewall. I put the files in /usr/share/snmp/mibs. In a guide, I read I am supposed to run check_snmp -m ALL. I tried that, but it didn't work. I installed check_snmp. It's in my libexec folder. When I run ./check_snmp -m ALL I get "SNMP Problem - No data received from host. CMD: /usr/bin/snmpget -t 1 -r 5 -m ALL -v 1 [authpriv] (null):161"

What am I doing wrong here? Thanks!

What is the full check_snmp command you are running (the check usually requires a host , oid, and a community string)? Which document did you follow for setting up the mibs?

I later found a way to upload the MIB's within the GUI. In MIB Management I think.

Now I am trying to figure out how to add a service to my host using these MIB's. Is there a guide that will tell me what to enter for the Check Command and $Arg1$? I am doing this in the GUI. Basically I want to first create a service for my firewall that checks the CPU utilization. I know the OID.

Yep! We certainly do have a guide, it is a rather large one too and is located here:

If you have further issues don't hesitate to let us know!

The addmib command is doing nothing. "command not found"

Is there no way to do any of thise in the GUI? In the Core configurato - Services, there is a place to Add Service. Once the MIB's are ready, can I create the services here? Is there a guide for that?

I've got the check_snmp command working with my OID's. Where do I use these commands on the Add Service page?

thanks again for the help

You may upload MIB's to the Nagios Xi server via Admin > Manage MIBs.

You can create the service's from within the web GUI by using either the SNMP wizards or creating them by hand after the MIB's are uploaded.

Ok I figured out how to do it in the SNMP Wizard. Thanks.
