Nagios Support Forum

Hi Team,

Can someone help on that what are the services we can monitor from nagios Core/ and Nagios XI for swithes /routers. If anybody have any document can someone share for which services/ parameter we can monitor for switches and routers.

It's going to depend on the device and if there are plugins available for it but generally these devices can be monitored via SNMP. On Nagios systems there's the check_snmp plugin that can get values if the device is using SNMP and XI has the SNMPwalk wizard to scan for OIDs on a device:

Some devices may allow ssh access. In which case you can use the check_by_ssh plugin/wizard:

The exchange is a place where third parties can upload plugins and can be specific for devices:
