Monitoring Compaq and Arcserve

[Dirk Johannson]

New on the list, so Hi to all first,

and here's the question:

I successfully set up Nagios for monitoring some standard services like pop3, imap, http... in a Linux/Windows environment.

I also set up NSClient on my W2K-Servers and it works as well (disk and memory usage, CPU load...)

So far - no problem!

Now, here's the interesting part:

Has anyone tried/realized monitoring Compaq Management Agents and/or CA Arcserve ?

Yes, I know, there's a Win32 Compaq Insight Manager and Arcserve is able to notify by fax, mail, printer and so on, but I'd like to have an "All-in-one-Solution" based on Nagios to know all about my hard- and software.

I read the docs and found a sample entry for checking "Compaq thermal condition", but I don't know how to put this into a running Nagios config. Further, I browsed through the Compaq MIBs and found 3555 entries - hard to handle...

I read the docs an found that I have to use snmptrapd.

I browsed through sourceforge and found a nice piece of software called snmptt, which can import MIBs, reads config files from HP Open View and is able to translate OIDs into human readable format. 

But I don't know how to put all these things together. Any ideas?


Thanks in advance
