hi friends, I hope you are well
for 3 weeks I'm looking for a nagios script that can give me the number of cisco switches fan rotation, which I can use in CES center.
I try to search on google, nagios web site and all forums of nagios and centreon, but I have just found scripts that give me the state of the fans of a cisco switch but I want the state and the speed of fans , to control the warning state and critical
if you like, I really need this script

have you looked at
https://exchange.nagios.org?
when you have looked high and low, the solutions usually becomes to not be dependent on other people, but write your own plugin rather.
you need to find the OID or MIB that reciprocates to the fan speed, and use that to monitor it. something like check_snmp should work fine once you have that information.
to get an entire list of what's available use something like this -
snmpwalk -v 2c -c public <ipofyourciscoswitch> - which will produce a full output of your available OIDs. it may not show here if you have to use an enterprise MIB.

@tacolover101 is right, however being you are using Nagios XI you do also have another option once you know the SNMP OID of the fan, you can use the SNMP Wizard to monitor that OID

Best thing to do is just provide the output of snmpwalk -v 2c -c public <ipofyourciscoswitch>. Cisco may be able to tell you the exact OIDs.

Digging into this equipment a little deeper, it doesn't appear that Cisco has a SNMP OID for fan speed, so there isn't a way to create a plugin for how fast it is going.
