Nagios Support Forum

Hi all.

My client has some SAN devices by Cisco and VNX. I haven't found anything concrete on how to monitor them in terms of plugins/wizards. Is my next step to find MIBs for these devices or am I missing a resource somewhere?

Yeah we don't have any real suggestions other than to do some hunting on exchange.nagios.org for some existing plugins. A lot of people contribute hardware specific plugins, so maybe there's something out there. Otherwise, do any other users have suggestions on this one?

So I FINALLY got this sort of figured out.

Dreading the possibility of having to rewrite the check_emc plugin to monitor VNX, I decided to attempt the EMC wizard one last time. And...it worked! I think the problem with my first run through is that I was putting the device in a hostgroup that inherited one-size-fits-all config files so everything in that host group would get the same services. On this last attempt, I didn't include the VNX device in the hostgroup and allowed its own config files to be generated. This seems to have fixed the problem.

Glad you got it working.

Thank you for coming back and posting your results to benefit all of us.
