check_areca via LAN (SNMP)?

[Sven Geggus]

Dear nagios users,

looking trough the Web I only found a check_areca plugin which uses the
commandline tool for checking the controler state.

However, as my areca controller is providing an ethernet interface
(ARC-1880) it should be better to do direct queries by LAN.

The controller does provide snmp which also seems to work (I can query the
controller using "snmpwalk -c public -v 1 <areca-ip> iso.3.6.1" after I
added "public" as
Community in the Web Interface.

Unfortunately I was unable to figure out the correct key for RAID status
monitoring, as the areca provided mib's seem to be somewhat broken.

I am almost certainly looking for iso.3.6.1.4.1.18928.1.2.5.1.1.5.0 but this
is just an intelligent guess:

 ~/ # snmpget -c public -v 1 <areca-ip> iso.3.6.1.4.1.18928.1.2.5.1.1.5.0
iso.3.6.1.4.1.18928.1.2.5.1.1.5.0 = STRING: "Normal"


Regards

Sven
