Virtual CUCM Monitoring

Ok, we have some virtual Cisco call managers(CUCM).

I found a couple plugins for CCMs, but the OIDs they use do not exist on the virtual appliance. Anyone here actively monitoring a virtual Cisco Call Manager? Ours is version 8.6.x

Not personally no. Out of curiosity, have you done an snmp walk or imported mibs(if needed)? Also on the off chance those checks use the snmp plugin currently, we did find an issue with it indexing things not started at 0 or 1. If the oid starts at a funny location it may be throwing off your check as well, if it is written not to expect that.

Yeah, I did install the mibs and did walk it using Nagios and use a separate snmp walker. Even though most OIDs are defined, it is still a little difficult to make heads or tails of some of them. Was just wondering if anyone else already figured any of this out :)

These are standard enterprise OIDs so all start with 0 or 1.

You could always attempt to replace the non-existent oids in the plugin scripts for ones that were successfully walked. I would also reiterate Spencer's comment about uploading MIBs as many snmp enabled products require traps to get the most out of them.
