Windows Server SNMP Agentless Monitoring

[wipro-cloud-services]

Team,
I am trying for windows machine agentless monitoring. Can you please let me know the steps to perform after installing and starting SNMP service in windows machine.

[mguthrie]

Once the service is started, you can simply run the Windows SNMP monitoring wizard against that host. If you don't have that wizard installed, you can get it from the Nagios Exchange.

I would start with the SNMP monitoring wizard in XI as it is probably the easiest way.

Food for thought: if these devices are a on an insecure or public facing network, do NOT use the public community. Make your own though it must be configured on the client and server.

After installing SNMP service in windows server, I have run Windows SNMP config wizard. I receive below error. Can you pls check and update.....

[abrist]

Can you post the out put of the following command:

Code: Select all

root@localhost$  ls -la /usr/local/nagios/libexec | grep snmp 

If you downloaded the windows snmp wizard from mguthrie's post, the perl scripts may not have executable permissions.

Shall i change the permission to Read-write to all ?

[yancy]

winpro-cloud-services,

change owner to nagios:nagios

Code: Select all

 chown nagios:nagios *snmp* 

Also, there are agentless solutions for using WMI as well.

[wipro-cloud-services]

As suggested, permission are set to Read-write to all SNMP

# chmod a+x check_snmp*
# ls -la /usr/local/nagios/libexec | grep snmp

-rwxr-xr-x. 1 nagios nagios 7065 Nov 2 03:04 check_win_snmp_disk.pl

Permissions are changed to Read, Write & execute. And also changed the file owner using command
# chown nagios:nagios *snmp*

Still issue remains same. Now even the ping is not happening.

[scottwilkerson]

This is a different error than above, this one is giving the equivenent of either a bad community string or SNMP not running on the remote machine or not having Net-SNMP.

Can you run the following from the XI command line replacing COMMUNITY_STRING IP_ADDRESS

Code: Select all

snmpget -v 1 -c COMMUNITY_STRING IP_ADDRESS sysUpTime.0

[lmiltchev]

The ping check has nothing to do with SNMP. Make sure your server is up and that you can ping it. This check uses the "xiwizard_windowsserver_ping_service" template, and it's probably defined this way: $USER1$/check_icmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w $ARG1$,$ARG2$ -c $ARG3$,$ARG4$ -p 5
