Vedr.: Snmp - How do you use yours?

[Thomas Jens Lauritsen]

Hi Hari Sekhon,

I use snmp combined with selfmade bash plugins to get the following 
values.

Antivirus_check - how old are our DATfiles - are they regulary updated if 
not - we get a warning
Booted - we get a warning if is was booted - sometimes the OS reboots 
automatically if set to - you could call it an inspection alert, to check 
logs for errors.
Backuptasks - are they running in the expected period - if not we get a 
warning
Mailcheck in MailSystem - like mailwaiting, maildead - to many - we get a 
warning
Database - clusterqueues - to long - we get a warning
MailSystemUptime - if it restarted it self - we get a warning
DatabaseSystemUptime - if it restarted it self - we get a warning
Diskspace - to little - we get a warning
Tasks/processes - if some are missing - we get a warning
CPU - if it stays between 90-100% during longer period we get an alarm.

We also check http, ftp and other port numbers but that is not via SNMP

Best regards

Thomas Lauritsen

[Nagios-users] Snmp - How do you use yours?






Hi all,

   I've decided to add snmp monitoring to my nagios setup. I'd like to 
know what you guys and gals are monitoring using snmp out there.

It seemed like a lot of work to get in to, but I think this was just the 
effort of trying to piece together the "documentation" for net-snmp to 
figure out how to use it.

So, now I have an idea and have snmpwalked my agent, I'm left with a big 
long list of OIDs that I'm not sure are very useful. Ok, all the 
tutorials show uptime, which is the agent uptime rather than the system 
uptime but in a few months when the servers are rebooted hopefully this 
will be the same. So what else can I do with it?

Can I extend it to export an OID for some test that runs locally on the 
system?

I need help and ideas please?


Thanks
