Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

I have a NetApp storage device and the MIB file from the NetApp support site. I followed the steps provided in the video below, as I’d like to monitor metrics like FailedPowerSupplyCount and FailedFanCount. The MIB file seems to contain the OIDs for the metrics I want to monitor, but when I run the MIB file through the SNMP Walk Wizard, the specific services I want to monitor are not appearing.

Does anyone know why this might be happening, and how I can add the services I want to monitor into Nagios under the current circumstances?

Hi @kenneth59,

One challenge I have noticed with MIBs is that not every manufacturer does them well or correctly. It is possible there is some error in the MIB that prevents it from being read. Of course there might be an issue with how XI is attempting to read the MIB but I am not aware of any reported issues where we tracked down that the MIB reading was not correct on our end.

In any case, there is a "standard" SNMP wizard that allows you to manually enter the OIDs you would like to monitor. Running the wizards should be additive, so if there are OIDs that you want to monitor that come up in the SNMP Walk wizard, go ahead and set those up, and then you can run the SNMP wizard and the OIDs you add manually there will get added to the config.

Questions?

Thanks,

Aaron

Hi @Aaron,

Thank you for your response. I performed a translation and ran several rounds of SNMPwalk through the terminal based on the MIB file provided. It seems like there might be some issues with the MIB file I received. However, I am very grateful for your response, as it helped clarify my understanding of the differences between the SNMPwalk wizard and the SNMP wizard.
