Nagios XI

[jtintegration]

I have a core switch (Hp Procurve 8206) that I can't not get Nagios XI to recognize from Auto Discovery, Nagios XI can see other switches on the network but not this particular core. I compared the snmp config on both switches and it is identical. I can get Solarwind to see the core fine though. What can I do. I am evaluating XI currently.


thanks

1. Can you run an nmap scan against the switch?

Code: Select all

nmap -p 161 <ip of switch>

2. What version of snmp is this device using?
3. Have you tried using the router/switch wizard for this device?

EDIT: Also, is the device set up to only allow certain ips to pull snmp information?

1. where do i run nmap -p 161 <IP ADD>, do i run from Centos server with Nagios? I have a OVA file for Nagios on Vmware.
2. SNMP v.1
3. I tried that also, same result.

I was hoping to switch over to Nagios because you don't charge by interface.

thanks

Yes, you have to run the command from a terminal/putty session to your Nagios XI server.

1. Run nmap from the nagios server - from the cli.

I was on a 1 hour webinar earlier today and it was no value to me. It was too general and they presenter was not very technical. I need technical answer otherwise I can't vouche for Nargios XI.

The webinars are an overview. A quickstart is a one on one remote session with a technical support rep, like myself or any of the other nagios support reps on these forums.
What were the results of nmap?
