Check Cisco Catalyst - plugin help

Afternoon!
Looking for some assistance with this plugin:
http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Pl ... st/details
I'm trying to set up some checks using it and am failing miserably (insert noob joke here)
Anyone using this successfully that may be able to give me an insight on what parameters to use to monitor things like CPU, Memory, Fan status, temperature, etc etc?
Thanks a ton!
Leo

Here's what I get for help output when running the plugin with no switches:
Code: Select all
root@nagiosxi: /usr/local/nagios/libexec
$ ./check_cisco.pl
Syntax Error !
check-cisco.pl
-H = Ip/Dns Name of the Switch
-C = SNMP Community
-t = Check type
temp - Temperature
fan - Fan Fail
ps - Power Supply Fail
cpu - CPU Load
mem - Memory
module - Module Health
freeint - Free eth interfaces for X days (-d)
int - Interface Operation Stat (use with -i or -o)
-w = Warning Value
-c = Critical Value
-d = number of days that th ethernet interface hasn't change state, default is 14 (only for -t freeint)
-i = Interface Name (only for -t int)
-o = Interface OID (only for -t int)
So we're probably looking at a command like this for CPU usage:
Code: Select all
/usr/local/naigos/libexec/check_cisco.pl -H <ip address> -C <community string> -t cpu -w 80 -c 90
Also, I emailed Sales about getting you into the Customer forum and will move this thread when you are added.

OK. When I run the plugin by itself I get this:
root@usmia-nagiosp1: ./check-cisco.pl
./check-cisco.pl: line 6: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
./check-cisco.pl: line 6: `<!DOCTYPE html>'
Trying the command, i get this:
[root@usmia-nagiosp1 /]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check-cisco.pl -H 10.151.1.254 -C us-itread -t cpu -w 80 -c 90
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check-cisco.pl: line 6: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check-cisco.pl: line 6: `<!DOCTYPE html>'
I did notice that your plugin is check_cisco whereas mine is check-cisco. I'm downloading it from this link:
https://github.com/ranl/monitor-utils/b ... k-cisco.pl
Thanks for the Cusomter forum move

It looks like you saved the whole webpage as opposed to the plugin itself. Try this link:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ranl/ ... k-cisco.pl
It's the same plugin, I just named mine differently to stick with the check_whatever naming scheme.

I had actually gone in and copied the pl script to a notepad and named the file but your link did work and I have the same result as you when i ran it this time. Thanks
Let me give it a go.
Thanks again!

Great! Give us a shout after you give the plugin a shot in it's native form. Copying scripts out to notepad then trying to use that can cause troubles, you will end up with Windows newline characters on your *nix systems when running them.
