check_openmanage and net-snmp v3

[Verhaeghe, Koen]

Hi Trond,

The script is working, at least, it does not give any errors anymore.
I even get "Physical Disk 0:1 [Ata WDC WD800JD-75MSA3, 0GB] on ctrl 0
needs attention: Failure Predicted" as expected. I was expecting also an
errormessage from the Virtual disks, as they are degraded, but that's
not there.

Moreover, I know some of our servers have problems with power supplies
or memory, so I changed a section in the below mentioned script like you
did for the disks and others, just to test:

	#my $result = $snmp_session->get_entries(-columns => [keys
%ps_oid]);
	
########################################################################
##
	# SNMPv3 test
	
########################################################################
##
	my $result = q{};
	if ($opt{protocol} == 3) {
	    my $powerDeviceTable = '1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1.600.12.1';
	    $result = $snmp_session->get_table(-baseoid =>
$powerDeviceTable);
	}
	else {
	    $result = $snmp_session->get_entries(-columns => [keys
%ps_oid]);
	}
	
########################################################################
##
	
########################################################################
##

And now I do get the expected error:
"Power Supply 1 [AC] needs attention: Presence detected, Failure
detected, AC lost"

I think it is safe to say that, when using net-snmp v3, the get_entries
method is not giving the expected result.

Maybe other people have experience with that.

Many thanks for your help.

Regards,
Koen

Yep, that was expected :)

Hmm.. was this on one of the servers that previously has problems
fetching the cooling OIDs?

I believe it would be better to make this work with the standard Windows
SNMP service, which is what most people would use. Where the results any
different without net-snmp?

With SNMPv2 on Windows, that usually is the case, yes.

I have a new test version for you:

  http://folk.uio.no/trondham/tmp/check_openmanage-snmpv3test2

This version uses get_table() for fetching OIDs for CPUs and physical
drives as well as cooling devices.
