Monitoring/Reporting Cisco uptime
Posted: Thu Apr 11, 2013 8:30 pm
Good day,
I am currently running the Trial version of Nagios XI 2012R1.7 (anticipating the move to a full version soon), and was having a bit of issue attempting to setup monitoring and reporting on a number of Cisco routers. I am looking to compare the device uptime (last reboot/etc) to the device's reachability (loss of connection back to the Nagios server). Using the SNMP Wizard and the Bulk Host Wizard, I was able to quickly set up multiple hosts and services for various devices. I have a ping test configured with 5 minute polls to monitor reachability, and I am pulling the device uptime via SNMP.
With SNMP, I am able to get the uptime for each device, but the service state will change when reachability is lost, giving "SNMP problem - No data received from host". My "Uptime" service's "Duration" actually reports the last drop in reachability, and the "Status Information" reports device uptime (ex. SNMP OK - Timeticks: (11379975) 1 day, 7:36:39.75). Reports run to compare the uptime vs. reachability come back about the same each time. Would there be a way for me to reconfigure my "Uptime" service, or build a new service, to incorporate all or part of the "Status Information" in a report?
Any info or help would be appreciated.
