Nagios Support Forum

Hey folks,

I'm new to SNMP monitoring so, I'm sorry if my question sounds naive. I am trying to see how I can get the PUSH mechanism in Nagios core working. Is it possible to get notified when let's say the CPU percentage goes above a certain threshold?

Thanks,
Amir

"Push" is maybe not quite the right word. You need to configure Nagios to send a notification when an alert is generated. In Nagios Core, this is typically an email that is sent when something goes CRITICAL. This is pretty basic Nagios management, and if you can't get this done, you may want to consider hiring someone to configure/manage your Nagios for you.

Decent documentation is available at https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... tions.html

The term you are looking for is "SNMP Trap" - https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/d ... traps.html

How you configure traps depends on the device itself, so unfortunately we can't help much with your specific device. However, NSTI can be used to receive traps in a Nagios Core system: https://nagiosenterprises.github.io/nst ... ation.html
