SNMP Monitoring

[narendra.badgujar]

Hi,

We are not able to monitoring, IPS, IBM Storage and BlueCoat through SNMP. Need help.

[tmcdonald]

Can you provide a bit more info?

What is not working?
Are you getting any errors?
Are these active SNMP checks or passive SNMP traps?
Is SNMP available on the machines you want to monitor?

HI,

We are configure SNMP at device, but unable to get output at server end.

Post is open and able to ping.

You are not able to receive results from active snmp GET requests on the nagios server when running them against one of your remote SNMP devices? Or are you talking traps, they are two totally different setups. Is the SNMP daemon running on the remote system? Are ports 161/162 open? Is your community string correct? You need to give examples of your checks, and what they are returning, as well as more detailed information or we will not be able to help much..

On top of slansings posting, please run the following command and return the results. Be sure to change the [ ] to your host\IP.

Code: Select all

nmap -sU -p 161 [hostname\IP]

[narendra.badgujar]

We configured SNMP on the device BlueCoat and IBM Storage as per OEM document.

Both device command nmap -sU -p 161 <IP> output.

Host is up (0.0022s latency).
PORT STATE SERVICE
161/udp closed snmp

[slansing]

You will need port 161 open to successfully use SNMP to interface with the devices.

[narendra.badgujar]

161 port is open all other device are getting SNMP output except BlueCoat and IBM storage.

[abrist]

61 port is open all other device

But port 161 is not open on the BlueCoat and IBM Storage devices as per your previous post (nmap output). As Sam mentioned, you need to open port 161 on those devices . . .

[narendra.badgujar]

For BlueCoat port is configured, out put is same and storage port setting option not available .

You have any setting document and another option.
