C:\net-snmp\etc\snmp\snmpd.conf has to contain something like this : 


Code:


rocommunity public

 

Here is an example of ours:

 

syslocation  LAX

 

disk  /var 5%

disk  /usr 5%

disk  /tmp 5%

 

load  30 30 30

 

syscontact email at domain.com

rwcommunity sdjslf8sdf8 192.168.0.0/24

rocommunity public 

 

 

You then need to restart NET-SNMP for the changes to apply.

 

Good little tutorial: http://forums.cacti.net/about26151.html

Hi Justin,

 

Thanks for the reply.

 

We downloaded net-snmp.exe and installed in a monitored window server.

 

Didn't modify anything, tried to start net-snmp service from the windows
system, stopped at event id 7031! Checking again

 

Downloaded and installed the perl scripts... is there anything to modify...

 

Please advice.

 

Regards

Ananth.

Ananth,

 

This is how we check an SNMP process (in commands.cfg):

 

# 'check_snmp' command definition 

define command{

        command_name    check_snmp_process

        command_line    $USER1$/check_snmp_process.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C
$USER3$

        }

 

I would recommend you downloading these perl scripts:
http://nagios.manubulon.com/index_snmp.html and putting them into your
/usr/local/nagios/libexec folder.

 

Let me know how it goes.

Hi Justin, 

 

We have the native SNMP in Windows installed and we wanted to monitor those
readings. We downloaded and installed Net-SNMP, but seems there a bit of
configuring to do, we are fiddling with Nagios settings, so not sure whether
we want to spend time learning Net-SNMP at present.

 

But its definitely something which we want to look at in the future. Thanks
for sharing the info.

 

Meanwhile we are still stuck in SNMP!!

 

This is what we get when we run 

[root at Nagios nagios]# snmpwalk -v1 -c taipl 192.168.3.100 snmp

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpInPkts.0 = Counter32: 1

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpOutPkts.0 = Counter32: 11

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpInBadCommunityNames.0 = Counter32: 0

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpInBadCommunityUses.0 = Counter32: 0

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpInASNParseErrs.0 = Counter32: 0

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpInTooBigs.0 = Counter32: 0

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpInNoSuchNames.0 = Counter32: 0

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpInBadValues.0 = Counter32: 0

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpInReadOnlys.0 = Counter32: 0

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpInGenErrs.0 = Counter32: 0

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpInTotalReqVars.0 = Counter32: 11

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpInTotalSetVars.0 = Counter32: 0

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpInGetRequests.0 = Counter32: 0

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpInGetNexts.0 = Counter32: 14

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpInSetRequests.0 = Counter32: 0

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpInGetResponses.0 = Counter32: 0

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpInTraps.0 = Counter32: 0

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpOutTooBigs.0 = Counter32: 0

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpOutNoSuchNames.0 = Counter32: 0

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpOutBadValues.0 = Counter32: 0

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpOutGenErrs.0 = Counter32: 0

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpOutGetRequests.0 = Counter32: 0

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpOutGetNexts.0 = Counter32: 0

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpOutSetRequests.0 = Counter32: 0

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpOutGetResponses.0 = Counter32: 25

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpOutTraps.0 = Counter32: 10

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpEnableAuthenTraps.0 = INTEGER: enabled(1)

 

 

So seems client side is fine. Please advice... below is the error we get by
mail

First off do you have NET-SNMP
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/net-snmp/files/net-snmp%20binaries/5.5-bina
ries/) installed on the server you are trying to fetch info from?

Which file that will be? The command.cfg file entry was the one we had put
in the earlier mail.

 

We are newbies's so if possible kindly explain in detail.

You need to look at the service definition as well as the command

definition to find out how the command is configured to run for this

particular service check.
