Monitor %util via SNMP

[ytlcomm]

Hi guys,

I would like to monitor disk performance (%util value on iostat) on a remote linux server that is currently being monitored by Nagios XI 2012R1.3 using SNMP.

Is there a way to get this done?? Any suitable plugin for this purpose? So far I haven't found any.

Code: Select all

# iostat -x 
Linux 2.6.32-279.19.1.el6.x86_64 (hostname)        04/16/2013      _x86_64_        (8 CPU)

avg-cpu:  %user   %nice %system %iowait  %steal   %idle
          59.38    0.01   21.42    2.49    0.00   16.71

Thanks!

You can try walking the .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.9 oid, however it does not look like utilization specifically is available via snmp from linux. You would be best to write a small script and run via nrpe or check_by_ssh.
