nagios snmp

Post by nshahorchard »

Okay, So i went ahead and install the check_snmp plugin. I downloaded some of the 3rd party MIB files from the respective websites. Once I've downloaded them, I uploaded them into /usr/share/snmp/mibs directory. Here is some examples of the OIDs provided:

SUPERMICRO-HEALTH-MIB smHealthMIB 1.3.6.1.4.1.10876.2.1
SUPERMICRO-HEALTH-MIB smHealthObjects 1.3.6.1.4.1.10876.2.1.1
SUPERMICRO-HEALTH-MIB smHealthMonitorTable 1.3.6.1.4.1.10876.2.1.1.1
SUPERMICRO-HEALTH-MIB smHealthMonitorEntry 1.3.6.1.4.1.10876.2.1.1.1.1
SUPERMICRO-HEALTH-MIB smHealthMonitorIndex 1.3.6.1.4.1.10876.2.1.1.1.1.1


When I run the following, im getting an error:

./check_snmp -H 192.168.XX.XX -C public -o 1.3.6.1.4.1.10876.2.1
External command error: Error in packet
Reason: (noSuchName) There is no such variable name in this MIB.
Failed object: iso.3.6.1.4.1.10876.2.1


What am I doing wrong?

You may want to walk the device first, if it works, then try focusing on specific oids::

Code: Select all

snmpwalk -v1 -c public 192.168.xx.xx
Or for snmp v2c:

Code: Select all

snmpwalk -v2c -c public 192.168.xx.xx

So, I've already done that and received a bunch of output:

Example -

HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunParameters.1824 = ""
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunParameters.1860 = ""
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunParameters.1900 = STRING: " "
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunParameters.1992 = ""
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunParameters.2100 = ""
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunParameters.2236 = STRING: " "
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunParameters.2416 = ""
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunParameters.2428 = ""
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunParameters.2700 = STRING: " "
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunParameters.2712 = ""
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunParameters.2772 =

I guess my question would be, how do i find out the OIDs from the output of snmpwalk?

You need to provide it with the proper flags to do numeric output( -O n ). Otherwise the oid in mixed form is the far left string:

HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunParameters.1824

As for check_snmp, you need to tell it to use the specific mib or all mibs with (-m ALL).

Here's a question. How do I find out the OIDs from a mib file?

Re: nagios snmp

Post by nshahorchard »

I see your point with the flags. How, in nagios, can i specify which mib file to use? I just threw them in /usr/share/snmp/mibs...I didn't know which variable allowed me to specify path of mib file. This is for 3rd party hardware (e.g Raid Conrtollers, Super Mico HArdware)

If you have not taken a look already, we have a few solutions for this which do have stand alone guides as far as I know:

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/ ... ptrap.html

Also, I noted quite a few third party tutorials here:

Re: nagios snmp

Post by nshahorchard »

I've tried to implement some of those. Here is where my confusion is. When I find third party mib files. I am placing them inside of /usr/share/snmp/mibs. However, when i run snmpwalk, its not pulling any of the information for those mibs. What would cause this? I see its using the standard mib for the output. Aside from uploading the mib files in that directory, what else would I need to do to enable these outputs?

[root@nagios02 ~]# net-snmp-config --default-mibdirs
/root/.snmp/mibs:/usr/share/snmp/mibs
