[Nagios]SNMP checks

[Michael Markstaller]

Hi,

I'll paste you some of my config below, this should explain most of it.
Basically I'm using check_snmp plugin which requires nothing special
besides the ucd-snmp-package from redhat AFAIK, with some predefined
commands in checkcommands.cfg. 
Some other perl-plugins use Net::SNMP (installed via CPAN) which
requires the following RPM's from RH to get compiled (which took me some
time to find out, so I'll list them):
ucd-snmp-4.2.5-7.71.0,ucd-snmp-devel-4.2.5-7.71.0,ucd-snmp-utils-4.2.5-7
.71.0

#### checkcommands.cfg
# 'check_snmp' generic command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_snmp
	command_line	$USER1$/check_snmp -t 10 -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C
$ARG1$ $ARG2$ $ARG3$ $ARG4$ $ARG5$ $ARG6$ $ARG7$ $ARG8$ $ARG9$
	}
# check_cisco_cpu: checks router CPU-usage
# Syntax
!Hostname!Community!WARN-1min-%!WARN-5min-%!CRIT-1min-%!CRIT-5min-%
define command{
	command_name	check_cisco_cpu
	command_line	$USER1$/check_snmp -t 10 -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -o
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.57.0,.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.58.0 -C $ARG1$ -w
:$ARG2$,:$ARG3$ -c :$ARG4$,:$ARG5$ -l 'CPU usage 1min/5min' -D ' / '
	}

#### services.cfg
define service{
	use				rz-service-info
	host_name			dell1,dell2
	service_description		DellAgent
	normal_check_interval		30
	stalking_options		w,u,c
	notification_period		none
	check_command			check_snmp!<community-string>!-o
.1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1.200.10.1.2.1!-w 3:3!-c 1:3!-l 'DellAgentStatus'
	}
define service{
	use				rz-service-info
	host_name			router1,router2
	service_description		CPU
	check_command
check_cisco_cpu!<community-string>!90!75!95!90
	}
###

Hope this helps

Michael

Hello, 

Sorry but I've no good answer for you, just some questions: 
How did you manage snmp checks ? I mean what is needed to be
installed/configured. 
I've got a RedHad 7.3 
Actually the tests are made on my laptop, OB 6000 from HP.
