Can you please post your mrtg config file along with your Nagios service definition and the command definition that the service uses.

It looks like you don't have the check_snmp plugin installed, see if /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_snmp exists.
If you don't, you need to install the net-snmp packages and recompile your plugins:
Code: Select all
yum install net-snmp net-snmp-utils
cd /tmp
wget http://nagios-plugins.org/download/nagios-plugins-2.0.3.tar.gz
tar zxf nagios-plugins-2.0.3.tar.gz
cd nagios-plugins-2.0.3
./configure --with-nagios-user=nagios --with-nagios-group=nagios
make
make install
For MRTG graphs reference:

1. Downloaded required plugin. But there bellow plugins are not present. I have checked it. But i have downloaded all required plugins using following command:
Code: Select all
wget http://nagios-plugins.org/download/nagios-plugins-2.0.3.tar.gz
net-snmp, net-snmp-devel, net-snmp-libs, net-snmp-utils, beecrypt-devel,
elfutils-devel, elfutils-devel-static, lm_sensors
2. For Downloading "check_snmp"
- To install check_snmp I download the plugin from this location. check_snmp
I have gone through following link:
https://exchange.icinga.org/exchange/Ad ... face+Check
There i don't find any check_snmp.tar file available?

check_snmp comes with Nagios Plugins however it requires net-snmp modules to be installed before compiling.
Here's a guide:

After this install Nagios Plugins:

Dear Box293,
Thanks for your document. Its pretty good organized. check_snmp is working now.
Do, you have similiar document for MRTG installation on Ubuntu OS?

I found this link for installing Nagios Core and graphing on Ubuntu. You could take a look at that.
https://raymii.org/s/tutorials/Nagios_C ... 12.04.html
Could you run the check_mrtgtraf command from the command line on the Nagios server and post how the command was run and the error message it generates?
We will also need to see how the mrtg.cfg file is setup on the server.

1. Thanks for tutorial. That issue solved & now facing another
SNMP is UP but its showing critical in status.
2. I have config cfgmaker under : /var/www/html/mrtg path:
Now i just have added one(172.19.254.61) Switch using following command:
Code: Select all
cfgmaker --global 'WorkDir:/var/www/html/mrtg' --global 'Options[_]: bits,growright' --output /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg [email protected]
I can see the graph also in GUI. Its ok.
Problem is that, how can i add multiple NE? Like i have tried to add another switch using following command:
Code: Select all
cfgmaker --global 'WorkDir:/var/www/html/mrtg' --global 'Options[_]: bits,growright' --output /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg [email protected]
Unfortunately the mrtg.cfg file is being replaced with new switch IP(172.19.254.62)
I dont understand why its happening?

Please post your service configuration under Configure > Core Config Manager > Services and find the port 24 service and screenshot it.
For the MRTG issue, you need to place the output files in /etc/mrtg/conf.d, that is where you put multiple files so that MRTG will process them.
Change it from:
Code: Select all
cfgmaker --global 'WorkDir:/var/www/html/mrtg' --global 'Options[_]: bits,growright' --output /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg [email protected]
To:
Code: Select all
cfgmaker --global 'WorkDir:/var/www/html/mrtg' --global 'Options[_]: bits,growright' --output /etc/mrtg/conf.d/172.19.254.61.cfg [email protected]
And then on your next one you add:
Code: Select all
cfgmaker --global 'WorkDir:/var/www/html/mrtg' --global 'Options[_]: bits,growright' --output /etc/mrtg/conf.d/172.19.254.62.cfg [email protected]
