Hi,

I am working on setting up Nagios to monitor some new firewall devices. We used to use plugin check_nwc_health for old devices. However, the new devices are Vyatta which the plugin does not seem support. Does anyone know if there is any plugin i can use?

Thank you

It looks like check_nwc_health utilizes SNMP, are you able to run a SNMP walk against the new Vyatta device and post back the result?

Yes. The result of running the plugin shows "Mode *** is not implemented for this type of device"

Can you post the full output of a SNMP walk against the device for us to look at?

I suspect the plugin won't work, but we can probably check this by using generic SNMP checks.

I was trying to use this plugin to monitor the cpu-load, hardware health, memory usage and uptime on some firewall servers. After I configured Nagios for this plugin and created the services. Only uptime gave the result, all of the others show "Mode *** is not implemented for this type of device".
Then, I snmpwalk through the oids, I got the result of cpu-load and mem usage, but I had no luck with hardware health. It said "SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2620.1.6.7.8.2.1.6 = No Such Object available on this agent at this OID". This seems another story though.
