Installing a mib

[RonaldVeldhuizen]

Hi,

I'm asked to implement in nagios a mib for monitoring BES 10.
To be honest, I don't have any clue on how to do that.
Does anybody have a 'how to' for me?

Best regards, Ronald

You can probably get your MIBs from these two websites:

http://www.mibdepot.com/
http://www.oidview.com/mibs/detail.html

and place them in "/usr/share/snmp/mibs/".

Placing the mib wasn't that difficult, Google helped me out on that

But how to go further and make this checks available for nagios?

Is this something where the BES server will be sending traps to nagios, or will you be performing gets\walks against an snmp agent on the remote windows\BES box?

[RonaldVeldhuizen]

I want the nagios slave gets info from the windows/bes server

Can you send us the mibs, or give us a few of the oids that you would like to be checking? At this point since you have the mibs installed and available to the snmp and nagios processes, we just need to craft commands to execute that will return the results that you want!

[RonaldVeldhuizen]

I don't know at the moment which one we are going to use,
but if you can point me out on how to use them I would be more then glad.

That's great, lets verify that the blackberry oids are available. Run the command below and PM me the results. I wouldn't want any potentially sensative information being publicly available, although it really shouldn't contain much.

Code: Select all

snmpwalk -v 2c -c [communitystring] [hostname\IP] > /tmp/snmpwalk

Hi I used Ireasoning Mib browser in which I loaded the BB mib.
The result I'll send you via pm.
Best regards, Ronald

This is just the mib, not a walk of the remote server. I want to be sure that the bes data is actually available via snmp. Since you sent that though, I can give a little more specific command that you can run opposed to the one before. Again please pm, but this needs to be run via the nagios server and anything within [] filled with your own information.

Code: Select all

snmpwalk -v 2c -c [communitystring] .1.3.6.1.4.1.3530.7.7 [hostname\IP] > /tmp/snmpwalk
