Snmp monitoring question

what do you guys use to monitor your CSS switches and what values do you typicall look at? Is there any way to see the total SMTP connections for a particular owner? I have multiple owner with smtp services assigned to them and I was looking for a way to determine how many SMTP connections were on each. Thanks

DFM supports CSS to some degree.Try this URL for more info:

SNMP monitoring of Oracle 10g?

Hi there,
I'm curious about using SNMP technology to monitor Oracle 10g databases.
I've done some light reading on the subject and I'm now at the stage
where I have a few questions.
-What exactly do I need to configure in my Oracle 10g environment?
-Is Enterprise Manager the best and/or only UI available for me
to carry out configuration chores?
-I see no SNMP specific documentation for 10g; why is that?
-I do see a good document for 9i:
Oracle SNMP Support Reference Guide Release 9.2.0 Part Number A96672-01
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/em.920/a96672/toc.htm
Is the above document suitable for configuring SNMP monitoring of Oracle
in a 10g environment?

I'm able to set up traps via the EM website following these instructions:
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/em.102/b40002/notification.htm
However, what I'm really looking for is the ability to do snmp gets. I need functionality similar to how the old school DBSNMP under OMS used to work. These commands seem to be totally missing. I found the following documentation:
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/em.102/b16244/chap2.htm#sthref74
Which indicates there should be an snmp subfolder under $ORACLE_HOME/sysman, but that folder does not exist in my installation. I installed Oracle EE. Is there another package I need to install in order to make the subagent run like a normal snmp agent?
So far if I do a:
emctl start dbconsole
that starts up the EM Website and I can use that no probelm. If I...
emctl start agent -- I get:
Starting agent ... started.
issuing a 'emctl staus agent' gives me a normal status message. Things start to get strange when I try to start the subagent, which to my understanding is what I need running in order to to talk to net-snmp, which is the master agent running on this host. Here's what happens:
[zaro@cheetah bin]$ ./emctl start subagent

Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Database Control Release 10.2.0.1.0
Copyright (c) 1996, 2005 Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.
Sub agent is not running..
I guess my question is how do I get to have the ability I used to have back in 8i to start up dbsnmp and then have my SNMP monitoring app "discover" the agent and use its instrumentation to get data?

SNMP monitoring of UCS environment

Hello,
We use Level Platforms (Managed Workplace Service Center) to monitor the environments my company supports.
We have an On Site Manager installed within a UCS environment which will monitor host IPs, etc.
The question is the best way to monitor the rest. (blades without service profiles assigned, etc.)
I was configuring new Policy Modules in Service Center and need to import MIBs, and wondered which ones would be needed. There are many for the UCS platform, and I thought maybe I was going about it all wrong.
For reference, we have 6 chassis and @ 42 blades, 2 6248s. Actually, it's a VCE vBlock

Is there anyway to monitor network traffic on the newer Time Capsules, similar to the SNMP monitoring previously?

Is there anyway to monitor network traffic on the newer Time Capsules, similar to the SNMP monitoring previously?

Can I use a real router and still have the Time Capsule for backups etc?
Yes, that is what Bridge Mode is for. Just connect the Time Capsule to a LAN <--> Ethernet port on your "main" router.

Prime\SNMP Monitoring of dynamic interfaces

Hi - Is anyone aware of a method of monitoring the bandwidth utilisation on a dynamic interface on a WLC?
I'd like to monitor the traffic on each dynamic interface to generate usage stats on centrally switched guest and employee SSID's.
Thanks

You have to get that stats from switch where you defined those SVI. WLC dynamic interface not terminate any L3 traffic & switch SVI is the place to go.
If you have netflow monitoring or simple snmp monitoring tool, you can get that stats from the switch.

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/
Splunk: http://www.splunk.com/

Hope this helps.

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,
frank

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,
Frank Pikelner
Hi Frank,
Dont 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 Ive done it in the past. Have you given this a try?

SCOM 2012 SP1 - Setup SNMP monitoring = ping OK, no response SNMP.

Hello,
I've tried the snmp monitoring in lab domain, everthing work. Now I work in the production environment, but I can't make work the snmp. I've tried only snmp, but the same error occure. The Ping is ok, all my firewalls rules allows snmp and ping over
the domain.
But when I launche the discovery, I've got an error after "No Response SNMP". I've analized the network with wireshark, I see the snmp get send to scom to the network device, but the netowrk device, reply " Destionation unreachable (Port unreachable)".
I've check with "netstat -ano -p udp" but I don't see the port 162, the 161 is open and snmp.exe service use it. But 162 is not open and Healthservice.exe doesn't use it.
I tried to reboot the server, but nothing change. And I check all my configuration, and it's the same in my lab domain and te production.
Anybody have the same issue? Or a workaround?
Thank you in advance.
KimBaxZ

Hello Roger,
1. Windows Firewall
a. SNMP service authorized
b. SNMP trap not authorized
c. PING.exe authorized
d. HealthService.exe authorized
2. SNMP service configuration
a. Security => Community name + Right OK
b. Security => Accept SNMP packets from any host
3. SNMP trap service disabled
4. The network device (cisco switch is already configured and the snmp work well)
a. It's possible to execute a snmp walk on the switch, and we get all the data (we use a différents
computer to do this, like a linux server on the same network)
5. We use snmp v2 on the switch, and during the discovery scom, send v2c snmp get to the switch with the good community name.
6. I tried to forge a snmp v2 packet and send them to the scom server, wireshark see the packet
During the discovery the switch get the snmp request, but he can't reply, the snmp trap port (162) on the scom server is not open. And I don't know why.

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.

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.

SNMP Monitoring shows bandwidth x2

I have tried a couple SNMP monitoring applications on both my Mac and Windows machines and both are showing my WAN usage as double what it should be. I have a 15Mbps connection to the Internet and when I do a speedtest it shows as 30Mbps on the mgi1 interface. I have noticed this for awhile (pretty sure several firmware versions) but thought I would reach out to the community finally. I am running 7.6.4 on my TC Gen4.

Hi deepu vc,
For bandwidth monitoring you should use the SNMP Traffic Sensor or a NetFlow Sensor. PRTG offers various versions:
NetFlow 5
NetFlow 9
IPFIX
I linked the corresponding pages of the PRTG manual. Within the next few weeks there will also be a new Trap Receiver Sensor.
I hope this helps...
Kind regards,

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?
Regards
Christian

Hello everybody,
Sorry for my english, I write normaly in french, but we have more result in english.
I have a problem with SCOM 2012. I try to catch all snmp traps sended by a 2960 CISCO switch on a EventView with a specific rule (Authoring->Rule->Collection Rules -> Event Based -> SNMP Trap (Event) based on the object target "Node")
I creat a specific management pack juste for the rule and the views.
SNMP Monitoring - CISOC 2960 => It's OK, I can have the processor state, utilization, etc ...
SNMP Monitoring Ubuntu computer => It's OK, I can have all the state I want.
SNMP Traps => The switch or the computer send traps over the network, and I can see in wireshark, the server receive the traps
SNMP Service (Windows service) => Disabled
SNMP trap (Windows service) => Disabled
Health Service (Windows service) => Enabled
Port 162 UDP => Open and listenning by the MonitoringHost.exe
Firewall rules => Everythinks is OK
SNMP Trap send version is => 2c
SNMP Monitoring device version is => 2c
I try too many of solution on different web site like :

Hello Yan Li,
I read your link, and I found this :
The network devices must be discovered and registered as ICMPSNMP devices.
And when I make the dicovery the first time, ICMP doesn't work, so I put only SNMP. This morning I tried with ICMP and SNMP, but the same problem come to me. And I found the rootcause of the problem with this post : http://www.code4ward.net/main/Blog/tabid/70/EntryId/105/Troubleshooting-Network-Discovery-in-SCOM-2012.aspx
I allowed the SNMP service, ping, and Health Service, just after I try a second time to dicover my device and it's work (ICMP and SNMP).
I recreat all my management pack and the rule. And now it's work! Thank you very much for your help!!
Have a nice day
Best regards

Best Practices for NCS/PI Server and Application Monitoring question

Hello,
I am deploying a virtual instance of Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 (1.2.1.012) on an ESX infrastructure. This is being deployed in an enterprise enviroment. I have questions around the best practices for moniotring this appliance. I am looking to monitor application failures (services down, db issues) and "hardware" (I understand this is a virtual machine, but statistics on the filesystem and CPU/Memory is good).
Firstly, I have enabled via the CLI the snmp-server and set the SNMP trap host destination. I have created a notification receiver for the SNMP traps inside the NCS GUI and enabled the "System" type alarm. This type includes alarms like NCS_DOWN and PI database is down. I am trying to understand what the difference between enabling SNMP-SERVER HOST via the CLI and setting the Notification destination inthe GUI is? Also how can I generate a NCS_DOWN alarm in my lab. Doing NCS stop does not generate any alarms. I have not been able to find much information on how to generate this as a test.
Secondly, how and which processes should I be monitoring from the Management Station? I cannot easily identify the main NCS procsses from the output of ps -ef when logged in the shell as root.
Thanks guys!

1.) What is the cost of having the scope in a <jsp:useBean> tag set to 'session'? I am aware that there are a list of scopes like page, application, etc. and that if i use 'session' my variable will live for as long as that session is alive. (did i get this right?). You should rather look to the functional requirements instead of costs. If the bean need to be session scoped (e.g. maintain the logged in user), then do it so. If it just need to be request scoped (e.g. single page form data), then keep it request scoped.
2.)If the JSP Page where i use that <useBean> is to be accessed hundred of times a day, will it compensate my server resources? Right now i am using the Sun Glassfish Server.It will certainly eat resources. Just supply enough CPU speed and memory to a server. You cannot expect that a webserver running at a Pentium 500MHz with 256MB of memory can flawlessly serve 100 simultaneous users at the same second. But you may expect that it can serve 100 users per 24 hour.
3.) Can you suggest best practice in memory management given the architecture i described above?Just write code so that it doesn't unnecessarily eat memory. Only allocate memory if your application need to do so. You should rather let the hardware depend on the application requirements, not to let the application depend on the hardware specs.
4.)Also, I have implemented connection pooling in my architecture, but my application is to be used by thousands of clients everyday.. Can the Sun Glassfish Server take care of that or will I have to purchase a powerful sever?Glassfish is just an application server software, it is not server hardware. Your concerns are rather hardware related.

Snmp monitor not alerting on failure to access.

using snmp probes it works fine reads the oid values and alerts if the value is of the correct value but if the devices is just down I get nothing it shows as unhealthy within network devices but it does not send an alert, what did I do wrong.
thanks

Welcome to SCOM,
Sorry for all the Redacting; looks like some sort of super secret document.
If you pull up your network device(s) are the responsiveness monitors enabled, and green? These should trip when you device goes offline. It looks like the default configuration is to only alert on the parent node 'Network Device Responsiveness',
and once the node comes back online the alert would clear.
You could setup a subscription for this, and I think it would produce the results you're looking for.
