Having been through the pain barrier of setting up Ubuntu and Nagios and getting it to monitor my servers successfully, I have moved on to monitoring Switches.
I have made sure that everything is configured properly within Nagios and check_snmp is available.
By running the command from CLI:
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins# ./check_snmp -H <IP address> -C Public -o 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0
I get an expected response showing "Timeticks: (xxxxxxxxx) xxx days HH:MM:SS:XX"
But when I put the relevant information into 'switch.cfg' - I get nothing - Status: UNKNOWN. PING works, so at least I know they are alive, but I can't get any useful information.
I have been trawling through the Internet for days trying to find some help, but I have to say that 'help' and 'Nagios' seem to be mutually exclusive - so here I am as a last resort.
Many thanks
John
