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 <table width=100%> <tr valign=top> <td width=40%>Hari Sekhon <hpsekhon@googlemail.com> Sendt af: nagios-users-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net 28-11-2006 10:46 <td width=59%> <table width=100%> <tr valign=top> <td> <div align=right>Til</div> <td>Nagios Users mailinglist <nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net> <tr valign=top> <td> <div align=right>cc</div> <td> <tr valign=top> <td> <div align=right>Emne</div> <td>[Nagios-users] Snmp - How do you use yours?</table> <table> <tr valign=top> <td> <td></table> </table> <tt>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?
