SNMP monitoring on multiple application instances on a host

[tom_wong]

Hi, I would like to know how to setup nagios xi to effectively monitor a host with multiple application instances.

For example, I have two identical applications running on a host, to monitor the first application instance through customised snmp, I set up some services under one service group for that particular application.

For example, to get a snmp value from the first application instance, the OID is

.1.3.6.1.4.1.40312.1.1.1.2.1

The last digit ends up with .1 for all snmp services for that particular instance.

To setup monitoring service for the second application instance, do I have to manually creating it and use the OID

.1.3.6.1.4.1.40312.1.1.1.2.2

If there are many snmp services assoicated with that particular application, the process is tedious. What happen if we run 5 or 6 application instances on a single host?

Thanks in advance
Tom

You could use the SNMP Walk Wizard and enter .1.3.6.1.4.1.40312.1.1.1.2.1 as the top OID

Thanks Scott,

I have tried the snmp walk and it needs manual configuration.
I want to ask is there anywhere I can use something like a template to make these snmp check simplier?

Thanks

Being this is a custom SNMP OID you would have to make your own wizard to make it simpler, or if you wanted to you could contract us to make one for you.

Got it, thanks Scott.
