Environmental Monitoring

My company has some Environmental Monitoring devices (Room Alert) and to have Nagios monitor it i would need snmp. To be honest, I have no idea what I am doing concerning SNMP.
Are there other solutions, divices, other than Room Alert that would be easier to have Nagios monitor and alert on?

I suspect a lot of these are going to use SNMP: https://exchange.nagios.org//directory/ ... ironmental

This is Linux, but perhaps it will shed some light on setting up SNMP for Room Alert: https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... g_SNMP.pdf

Are you having a specific problem with Room Alert?

the biggest issue I have with room Alert, is when I do a snmp walk on it...... I have no idea what the result are telling me.
We do have a system with software on it that gives a gui type interface that allows us to set various thresholds and alerts, but I would like to get Nagios to monitor it so that everythign is configured etc in one place.

for example I used solarwinds snmp walk program and it returned this info:

I think you'll need to download the mib files. Brief instructions at https://avtech.com/articles/6724/find-r ... mib-files/

I tried there, but they want money to give them. You would think that buying their product would be good enough.
But anyway, I did find the mibs elsewhere I have them uploaded into Nagios (ADmin/manage mibs/uploaded with the process trap box checked)

but that's it so far. what do I do next? I tried teh SNMP Trap part in teh config wizard, but it really doesn't give me any options to check anything.

Does the snmpwalk give you anything new? You can also just run the walk from the XI command line (which we may need to do anyway if you start getting permissions errors, but we aren't there yet).

If SNMP doesn't work, you could try https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ios-XI.pdf, but since you were able to get mibs, I bet we can get SNMP working.

snmp walk loots the same.
How does it know what mib to use when doing a walk?
In the mib to use column, it says IF-MIB

You may need to change the version or the string (and you'll almost certainly need to change the RoomAlertHost to the actual host name), but can you run the following from the XI command line and put the output in a code block? If it's too large for a code block, or you can't scroll back enough to get the output, just pipe the output to a file and attach the file.

Here you go, I found the MIB for the 24E model but you may need to download others if they are different, please do this:

Code: Select all

cd /usr/share/snmp/mibs
wget http://www.circitor.fr/Mibs/Mib/R/ROOMALERT24E-MIB.mib
snmptranslate -Tz -m /usr/share/snmp/mibs/ROOMALERT24E-MIB
That's will list what is available but you could also run this one after running the commands above (the MIB file needs to be in /usr/share/snmp/mibs for this to work, it should translate them):

Code: Select all

snmpwalk -v 2c -c snmpcommunity X.X.X.X:161
You can find others here, please search for ROOMALERT on the page:
