Cisco Switch - Best Practices and/or recommendations?
Posted: Mon Nov 22, 2010 5:12 pm
I'm new to Nagios. I've been playing around with the Monitoring Wizard and added a Cisco switch. Like a previous thread I noticed that the interfaces were listed as random port numbers. I will email the /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg file to support shortly.
My question the forum is........ Are there any recommended best practices or recommendations for adding network devices. I would like to be able to perform basic network monitoring tasks such as up/down notifications, bandwidth monitoring, input/output errors, network module status, latency, etc.
I've played with a few of the user community plug-ins. For example check_cisco_modules.sh I've added the plug-in, configured the check command and defined a service. Unfortunately I'm monitoring a device that I know has a bad sup module and it's claiming "OK - No Bad Modules".
If someone can point me in the right direction on how to get started adding my Cisco network devices to Nagios, it would be greatly appreciated.
