I think you gave me a good answer. After I tried hard, still little bit confused, hope you can clarify for me. 1. I installed nagios server on a Solaris box, also installed ucd-snmp, snmpwalk working fine. I'd like to monitor another Sun box, do I need install ucd-snmp on that box? Solaris has a default SNMP agent running like this: root 342 1 0 Mar 26 ? 0:52 /usr/lib/snmp/snmpdx -y -c /etc/snmp/conf Do I need to stop that snmp process? 2. I think the problem is related to /usr/local/share/snmp/snmpconf/snmpd.conf, snmp.conf etc. How do I edit those config files? only edit them on Nagios server, or has to do both sides Server and remote client? 3. The ucd-snmp docs talk about snmpd daemon, I couldn't find it under /usr/local/share/snmp anywhere, but I found it in source under agent/snmpd. Should I copy some files under agent/ to somewhere? During the make/make install, sounds didn't copy any files under AGENT to system directory. Could you please write some procedures how you got it working on your system (configurations)? I desperately wanted to make it working on my system.

Most distributions come with them, but they may not be installed by default. Win2k and 2k3 ship with a basic SNMP service, which you have to enable (or 'Add' via the Control Panel.) The basic check_snmp command needs the Hostaddress (-H), OID to monitor (-o) and the SNMP community string (-C, typically 'public'). So for example, we have the basic ucd-snmp package installed on a Linux box. To monitor the load average, the OID is ".1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.3.1" You can test if you setup has worked by running /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_snmp -H TARGET -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.3.1 -C public Basically, the problem you run into is to map what you want with the OID number. To somewhat get around this, if you have the standard MIBS. You can run 'snmpwalk', which comes with ucd-snmp and net-snmp. With net-snmp's snmpwalk, you can run "snmpwalk -v 1 -c public HOSTNAME .iso" to see all the information your device is exporting via SNMP. To get you started, some common OIDs: # Load averages. OID ucd_load1min 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.3.1 OID ucd_load5min 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.3.2 OID ucd_load15min 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.3.3 # Memory stats OID ucd_memswapAvail 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.4.4.0 OID ucd_memrealAvail 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.4.6.0 OID ucd_memtotalAvail 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.4.11.0 # Disk stats (Don't forget the instance number...) OID ucd_diskfree 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.9.1.7 OID ucd_diskused 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.9.1.8 OID ucd_diskpused 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.9.1.9 # CPU Stats OID ucd_cpuUser 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.9.0 OID ucd_cpuSystem 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.10.0 OID ucd_cpuIdle 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.11.0 OID ucd_rawCpuUser 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.50.0 OID ucd_rawCpuNice 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.51.0 OID ucd_rawCpuSystem 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.52.0 OID ucd_rawCpuIdle 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.53.0 These should be fairly common and static. Keep in mind, that with the NAG, you will probably have to create your own snmp checkcommand using check_snmp and set the -w and -c stuff yourself. Later on, you can get more advance and have the SNMP daemon run scripts and return the data via an OID.
