Nagios Support Forum

Hello,

I have been setting up Nagios and am using it to monitor a bunch on small Linux servers, all is going well now I think I have the hang of setting up basic services.

What I would like to do is monitor my D-Link ADSL router.
I have been look at SNMP as a possible (old fashioned) solution but on my monitoring server, /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_snmp doesn't exist.

Is using snmp the best way to go and if so how do I get the plugin, has anyone tried this?

I have downloaded nagios-plugins but this seems to put loads of .cfg files in /etc/nagios-plugins/config/ and nothin in libexec.

I'm afraid I could do with a bit of help.

Ideas welcome.

What OS are you running? We have some instructions available here that may help out - https://support.nagios.com/kb/category.php?id=58 (look for the plugins part)

I just looked at nagios-plugins-2.1.1.tar.gz and it does contain check_snmp.c. Did you compile the plugins?

SNMP still works great, old fashion or not!
