is there a way to find what OID's are beings used for a particular service to monitor on a particular host

Hi

In this screen capture I show you two ways to find the OID, you'll have to
rename the file from .txt to .mp4 Thanks

i am not able to open the file even after renaming it, Please can you find another way?

Never mind , i was able to play the video, However it doesnt show me any OIDs, just the performance data. see attachment below

Hi,

Please follow the process that begins 33 seconds into the video. This process
uses the Core Config Manager to show the definition of the service.

Let me know what it shows you.

Thanks

Am sorry but that doesnt show any OIds, it just shows the arguements used to monitor the service like in the attachment

Hi,

I haven't had a chance to watch the video, but for any type of SNMP plugin, you'll usually find the OID's for each check hardcoded at the top of the script.

Nagivate to /usr/local/nagios/libexec and you'll find the plugin there, open it and find the system your are checking to see the OID strings. For example, on a Linux system, its:

# Linux load
my $linload_table= "1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1"; # net-snmp load table
my $linload_name = "1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.2"; # text 'Load-1','Load-5', 'Load-15'
my $linload_load = "1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.3"; # effective load table

Let us know if that helps or if you have more questions. Thanks, Benjamin
