First, you'll need to figure out the correct OIDs that export the information you're looking. This information might be found somewhere online, or you might need to dig out the MIBs for your hardware. Unfortunately this part is hardware-specific though and I'm not able to help you with it. Once you've got that information, then I can help you set up check_snmp to monitor it.

Well, lucky for you, someone already took the time and effort to develop such plugin.

Checkout this webpage: http://nagios.manubulon.com/snmp_int.html

There you have instructions and a download link for a plugin which is suposed to do exactly what you are looking for.

Best regards,

All the documentation with the plugin is available on the page
http://nagios.manubulon.com/snmp_int.html

You may want to go over the plugin documentation on
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/toc.html

In Nagios XI the setup is very easy with the use of wizards, but in Core, it will take a bit of work to set it all up...
