Nagios SNMP Monitoring for NSS devices ?

Has anyone managed to utilise the inbuilt SNMP functions of the NSS with nagios efficiently ?
if so, what plugins are you using and how have you got them configured ?
Steve

There are some threads in this forum regarding this already. It is not as easy as monitoring a switch or router. the controllers combine the AP mac with the oid for unique lines. You can glean some snmp info off the controllers by using some of the generic OIDs and controller specific OIDs, but you will need an snmp monitoring program that you can load the WLC MIBs into and then tailor your monitoring of the controller based on that. I use Cacti, which is really awesome, but I would need to grab the complete OID off each controller based on the APs on it, which is fine as long as the AP is on that particular controller and not another one. snmpwalk is your friend in this case.
OID+mac = results

  • Snmp monitoring for wlc 4404

    Hi,
    we use a snmp monitoring software called Nagios in our LAN. Now we have two WLC 4404. Is it possible to monitor values via snmp? Is someone else doing it so?
    Witch values can be monitored and for what values is it wise or practicable to monitor it?

  • SNMP monitoring for EoMPLS virtual circuit

    I am looking to implement SNMP-based monitoring of an MPLS layer-2 tunnel. The desired result would be the same as the output from the following command:
    "sh mpls l2transport vc"
    I have configured the router to generate SNMP traps based on LDP changes, but this is not specific to the status of the EoMPLS tunnel.
    Thanks in advance.

    Polling to these MIB values would have your task accomplished.
    1) VC status <--> cpwVcOperStatus
    2) If you need outbound staus <--> pwVcInboundOperStatus
    3) Inbound status <--> cpwVcOutboundOperStatus
    And here is the link for list of MIB objects for L2VPN.

  • Data desccription for Network devices

    Hi,
    We have a scenario where two IP's having a single host name. In SCOM the two IP addresses have been discovered under a single host name
    E.g
    abc.domain.com
    abc.domain.com
    When i click the properties i could see that these are two different IP's. We have created SNMP monitors for these devices and when they alert the alert descriptions looks confusing as they show the same host name for both the IP addresses. Tried to bing
    but could not find much help.
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/kevinholman/archive/2007/12/12/adding-custom-information-to-alert-descriptions-and-notifications.aspx 
    But these do not mention on how to pull out the IP addresses in alert description. We have currently used the below syntax but still get the host name rather than the IP.
    $Target/Property[Type="MicrosoftSystemCenterNetworkDeviceLibrary6172210!Microsoft.SystemCenter.NetworkDevice"]/IPAddress$  
    Please advise.

    Hi!
    You could create an "override" for the alert name or alert description. More here:

  • Is it possible to obtain a report from Ciscoworks LMS3.1 to detail the SNMP configuration of all devices?

    I am about to update/standardize to secure the SNMP configuration for all devices in the network utilizing Ciscoworks.
    There is likely to be variations amongst the devices. Therefore, I would like to generate one report for all the devices, capturing the SNMP configurations, is this possible?
    I know how to complete the work afterwards but am struggling to produce a meaningful report that I can use to build my tasks from.
    I am trying to achieve this using a particular 'role based' account via ACS, so it is possible that I don't have the permissions with this account at present which maybe why I'm not able to do it.
    Thanks!

    Getting the SNMP trap community string is not trivial.  The reason for this is that anything which shows the configuration will have this field starred out. You can get to the value, but not in a report-like fashion.  You can, however, search the archived configs under RME > Config Mgmt > Archive Mgmt > Search Archive.  Assuming you know the SNMP trap receiver IP, you could search on:
    snmp-server host x.x.x.x old-string
    That would show you all devices that still had the old community string.
    If you need to force RME to get the new config data, you can simply schedule a Sync Archive job under RME > Config Mgmt > Archive Mgmt > Sync Archive.  Of course, if you made the changes outside of LMS, you will need to manually update DCR with the new community string.

  • Recommended product for syslogging and snmp monitoring

    Hi,
        We currently use KIWI syslog but can anyone recommend a better product for syslogs from Firewalls, Routers and Switches. Our current product creates a seperate text file per day per device. Ideally I would like all these to be combined (or combinable for display purposes) into one log that shows to update realtime and have the ability to filterout "background noise" - stuff we know is acceptable, as well as being able to run simple or quick searches and reports. Ideally for asbout 200+ devices.
         Am I too hopeful or is there a product out there that can do this (that also will not break my companies bank account).
         Also, recommended products for SNMP monitoring if better than we currently use would be useful - currently using Orion and SNMPc.
    Regards
    Adrian

    Adrian,
    We use syslog-ng for RHEL. It can do what you need as far as writing to files and filtering out background noise, but it is not a search/reporting tool. If KIWI does the latter, I imagine you could tell it to read from the file that syslog-ng creates.
    It is open source for writing files through version 3.1.4. Later versions require licensing to write to files or if you are using a Windows OS.
    http://www.balabit.com/downloads/files/syslog-ng/open-source-edition/3.1.4
    Here are some other options:
    Rsyslog: http://www.rsyslog.com/

  • IPS 6.0(6) SNMP scripts for Nagios

    Hi!
    We are running 6.0(6) on all our IPS modules and appliances as suggested by our Cisco representative. We require to monitor them with Nagios tool but haven't been able to make the scripts we have to interpret the SNMP traps from the IPS.
    Is there anyone who has been able to work this out? Or any suggestions for our situation?
         Thanks and regards,

    Hello!
    Thanks!
    We are using Nagios to monitor the IPS modules and appliances we have, however so far we are only using ping to verify if it's alive. We would like to catch the SNMP traps that contain health information from the appliance, but we haven't found the scripts for NAGIOS that correctly interpret the messages from the IPS. We are able to configure the SNMP on the IPS but Nagios is unable to understand the messages without the correct scripts.
    We've tested a couple of them without luck, I'm thinking it may be the release, that's why I was checking if anyone here was able to get this working on this version.
    Thanks again and regards,

  • How do I use my late 2011 iMac ( with thunderbolt) as external monitor for laptop/Xbox or other device with hdmi as output.

    May be this question has been asked thousand times. how do I use my mid 2011 iMac ( with thunderbolt) as external monitor for laptop/Xbox or other device with hdmi as output. if apple hasn't removed that feature and has just moved that functinoality to thunderbolt then how can I use it. currently there is no laptop available with thunderbolt output. no 3rd party converter available. whats the use of having feature on latest functionality if we cant use it. I wish they would have made one port has mini-dvi and other thunderbolt for backward compatibility untill some vendor comes up with converter.

    It Says :
    Mac (21.5-inch, Mid 2011) and iMac (27-inch, Mid 2011) and later computers support Target Display Mode via Thunderbolt to Thunderbolt cable (2 m) when the source is another Thunderbolt-equipped computer.
    Name one computer model/vendor which has thunderbolt as output for display + audio. this is so stupid to move to new technology without availbility of its compatible devices.

  • SNMP Strings for Cat OS devices

    I was wondering if there was a way on Cat OS devices to configure multiple snmp read-only passwords.
    We use Campus Manager's User Tracking and are trying to get 1 snmp string to be used for all devices, while still keeping current snmp string in place. It will ease some of the discovery issues we are having. The is simple with IOS devices and ACL's, I just don't know how it done with Cat OS devices.

    Starting with 7.4(1), the functionality to have more than one read-only or read-write community string is now available in CatOS.
    Here is a sample config (with access-list applied as well):
    set snmp access-list 111 10.10.10.10
    set snmp community-ext john read-only access 111
    set snmp community-ext doe read-write access 111
    The output of show snmp will display an entry for Additional Community Strings.

  • Basic Network Monitoring for Cisco Operation Manager 2012

    Hello,
    Please bear with me as i'm new the Operations Manager 2012 world. I've just installed operations manager 2012 in our environment and i've setup a network management point. I've discovered my networking gear which is primarily cisco equipment. The devices
    are appearing as CERTIFIED. It appears that they are HEALTHY however in most cases i'm getting some arbitrary monitors. I have a 6509 switch where memory and processor appear to be being monitored out of the box. I'm receiving alerts and everything.
    My question is how do I turn on monitoring for other discovered components. I seem to understand I can make SNMP monitors under the authoring pane if i know the OID. That sounds like it'd be tedious work for such a simple and basic monitor. However I was
    under the impression I would be able to monitor a lot of these components with a simple click of a button. Is this not the case? I'm primarily interested in monitoring the state and performance of particular interfaces as well as the state of the power supplies
    in our switches. Is there a guide that explains the basic principles of this. What are my options?
    Thanks!
    -Brandon

    Hi,
    You will need to edit the discovery and broaden the range. You may use recursive discovery.
    Recursive discovery will try to discover any other network devices it knows about through its Address Routing Protocol (ARP) table, its IP address table, or the topology Management Information Block (MIB) to grow the network map and present all applicable
    devices to you for monitoring.
    You can also filter out devices that you don't want to be discovered by using properties such as the device type, name, and object identifier (OID). This is a handy option if you wanted to quickly discover all the network devices in your network except,
    a small number or some with a specific criteria.
    In really large networks with a lot of network devices, keep in mind that there is a default limit of 1500 network devices that can be discovered recursively. You can of course tweak this limit to suit your environment if you wish, but for most people, this
    won't be needed.
    More details, please go through the article below:

  • SNMP Query for Byspass Status (AIP5)

    I'd like to monitor the state of Bypass mode for the ASA-SSC-AIP-5 and would like to know if I can check this with SNMP and if so, which OID.
    I started messing with SNMP and the SSC5 a while back and started a thread about snmpwalk causing it to crash.  After that, I never really picked the project back up.
    I've been known to miss the obvious every now and then, but I was dissapointed to see that there wasn't an (obvious) way for the device to alert you when it automatically goes into bypass mode.  This should be a feature request.

    IPS provides SNMP traps for different interface conditions like link going down or up, traffic bypass started, etc. Below is one such example
    Received SNMPv2c Trap: Community: "public"
    From: 10.89.149.204 mib_2.1.3.0 = 38429472
    snmpModules.1.1.4.1.0 = ciscoMgmt.138.2.0.1
    ciscoMgmt.138.1.3.3.1.3 = 3                      <====    index can be mapped to index obtained from snmpwalk
    ciscoMgmt.138.1.3.3.1.4 = 5                      <====    Traffic bypass started
    ciscoMgmt.138.1.3.3.1.5 = 4
    ciscoMgmt.138.1.3.3.1.6 = 38429472
    All you need to do is enable sending traps from the sensor.
    qssp-8085(config)# service notification
    qssp-8085(config-not)# enable-set-get true
    qssp-8085(config-not)# enable-notification true
    qssp-8085(config-not)# read-only-community public
    qssp-8085(config-not)# read-write-community private
    qssp-8085(config-not)# trap-destinations x.x.x.x           <===== trap destination
    qssp-8085(config-not-tra)# exit
    qssp-8085(config-not)# exit
    You can configure separate community name under trap-destination. If not provided then the read-write-community will be used to send with the trap.
    Hope this helps

  • Snmp alerts for CPU utilization

    Hi,
    I want to enable snmp alerts on l2 and l3 switches to monitor CPU utilization.
    I have Opmanager which is acting as SNMP server.
    I have switches L2 and L3 which are running IOS 12.0, 12.1, 12.2
    Do all these IOS versions support SNMP alerts?
    And also I want to know the commands to be configured on switches for this.
    Regards
    skrao

    You can configure SNMP traps for CPU Thresholding Notification.
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6350/products_configuration_guide_chapter09186a0080455772.html
    You should be ok with the versions you list but check exact IOS version supports it at http://www.cisco.com/go/fn
    If you do not want to use traps then there are specific oids that can be polled for 1minute average (1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.57) and also 5 minute average (1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.58). I've used these in the past with no problems. These oids may have been superceeded so check for latest. You can always snmpwalk a device to check oids.
    The cisco SNMP navigator is helpful when it comes to oids.

  • SNMP Monitor PIX throught VPN tunnel

    I have two Cisco PIX 515e firewalls configured in fail-over. The primary PIX has private address 192.168.1.5 and the secondary PIX (standby) has a private address 192.168.1.6. The PIX firewalls are running IOS 6.3.3. I'm connecting to the PIX firewalls through a VPN tunnel (PIXes terminate VPN tunnel) and my monitoring system uses SNMP to monitor devices behind the PIX firewalls and the primary PIX private IP address. I would also like to monitor the standby IP address 192.168.1.6 from the tunnel and have been unsuccessful thus far. I can do this from behind the PIX, but not through the tunnel (only the primary PIX).
    Is there a way I can SNMP monitor (and PING) the IP address of the standby PIX through the VPN tunnel?
    Please send email to [email protected]
    Thank you,

    Paul,
    Thank you for your email. Yes, we currently use this command to monitor the active private IP of the active PIX firewall through the VPN tunnel. What I would like to be able to monitor is the private IP address of the standby PIX firewall (has a different IP address while in standby mode) – would like to make sure that it too is up and running (I can do this today for other PIX firewalls from the inside, but not through the tunnel.
    Best regards,

    Hi Frank,
    Don’t think you are going to get that to work due to the routing issues. Sending syslog messages to the snmp server is the only way I’ve done it in the past. Have you given this a try?

  • SNMP Monitoring behind SCOM Gateway Server

    Hi All
    Is it possible to monitor Network devices / SNMP that sit behind a SCOM Gateway server? If so, how do these get discovered?
    I have a need to monitor devices like HP printers, WAP, JetDirect cards, EPOS equipment etc. on a site that doesn't have SCOM on-premise.
    Are there any limitations to this?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Yes, it is possible. when you create discovery, you may specify that it should run from gateway server.
    On the device you want to monitor, set your SNMP public community string to point to the IP address of the SCOM Gateway server. In the SCOM Administration console, choose Network Devices in the Discovery Managment Wizard choose network device and click next.
    In the next screen enter the IP address of the network device you want to monitor and under the mangment server drop down choose the gateway server who’s IP you entered in the SNMP string earlier.
    Here is a similar thread for you reference:

    In addition, you may check is there any management pack for your devices and import them into your management group.
