help please - SNMP

[Mike Koponick]

Robert,

 

Here is a brief sample of a check_snmp command that I using to grab the
system description.

 

define service {

        use                                   Sensor-ND

        hostgroup_name                Switches,Routers,Firewalls

        service_description             Check-ND-Show-version

        check_command                check_snmp!sysDescr.0!public

        register                        1

        }

 

I do use a template for this one, but it's fairly simple (mostly
defaults).

 

When I want to find out what an OID is, or ?? I use snmpwalk to "walk"
the MIB of the device. It gives enough information so you will want to
start drinking early in the day. ;-)

 

 

I hope that helped.

 

Mike

I'm new to setting up SNMP on nagios.

I need some pointers.

I have downloaded the mibs that I need but I have never installed them
on Suse 10 for nagios 2.0.

Could you all tell me how I would get the mibs in place to be used by
the ./check_snmp command.

 

Could you all send me an example of the ./check_snmp command that you
all use

 

Thank you
