Hi All,
I'd like to monitor cisco asa from nagios core 4.1.1 on ubuntu server 14.04. Could you please help me with some instructions or a manual to do that?
I have already installed the snmp service on my server and i use it for monitoring windows hosts with nsclient. The cisco asa is 5505.
Thank you,
Best Regards.

Check out some of these plugins:

https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... ns/details
https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... EM/details
These plugins were not wrote by us, but the exchange is a great place to check to see if anyone has wrote a plugin may work with your devices.

Hello again,
I am trying to syntax the nm_check_asa_connections. When i use this command:
Code: Select all
./nm_check_asa_connections -H IP -C public -P 2c -w 230000 -c 245000
I can receive the correct result.
Now check my comands.cfg:
Code: Select all
define command {
command_name nm_check_asa_connections
command_line $USER1$/nm_check_asa_connections -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C $ARG1$ -p $ARG2$ -w $ARG3$ -c $ARG4$
}
and my service:
Code: Select all
define service{
service_description ping
use generic-service
host_name CISCO ASA
service_description Cisco ASA connections
check_command nm_check_asa_connections!public!2c!23000!24500
}
When i restart the nagios i receive uknown error missing argument -p.
Could you please help me? What am i doing wrong?
Thank you.

Ok i found the problem.
In comands.cfg i was using -p insted of -P and then i realize that - p is the deafault port number and not the version of snmp.
Could you please inform me if there is any other plugin like netflow or something like that?
I want to check the bandwidth of my ASA per interface.
One more thing, if i wanted to check the bandwidth per user what i have to do?
I can see this information from asa, is there anyway to retrieve it with snmp?
Thanks in advance.

Without access to an ASA here, it makes things a bit difficult to help. Ah, dang lowercase p!
For monitoring netflow, I recommend taking a look at NNA (
https://www.nagios.com/products/nagios- ... -analyzer/) - this will allow you to examine it a bit more.
If you wanted to check bandwidth per interface, you could probably find the value from a SNMP walk. Could you run one against the ASA and post the full output?
It really depends, based on your device, if you'll be able to pull it based on a user. I haven't heard of something like this before though.
