SNMP showing Unknown

[IT Toonz]

Hi Justin, 

 

We have the native SNMP in Windows installed and we wanted to monitor those
readings. We downloaded and installed Net-SNMP, but seems there a bit of
configuring to do, we are fiddling with Nagios settings, so not sure whether
we want to spend time learning Net-SNMP at present.

 

But its definitely something which we want to look at in the future. Thanks
for sharing the info.

 

Meanwhile we are still stuck in SNMP!!

 

This is what we get when we run 

[root at Nagios nagios]# snmpwalk -v1 -c taipl 192.168.3.100 snmp

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpInPkts.0 = Counter32: 1

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpOutPkts.0 = Counter32: 11

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpInBadVersions.0 = Counter32: 0

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpInBadCommunityNames.0 = Counter32: 0

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpInBadCommunityUses.0 = Counter32: 0

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpInASNParseErrs.0 = Counter32: 0

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpInTooBigs.0 = Counter32: 0

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpInNoSuchNames.0 = Counter32: 0

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpInBadValues.0 = Counter32: 0

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpInReadOnlys.0 = Counter32: 0

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpInGenErrs.0 = Counter32: 0

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpInTotalReqVars.0 = Counter32: 11

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpInTotalSetVars.0 = Counter32: 0

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpInGetRequests.0 = Counter32: 0

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpInGetNexts.0 = Counter32: 14

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpInSetRequests.0 = Counter32: 0

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpInGetResponses.0 = Counter32: 0

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpInTraps.0 = Counter32: 0

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpOutTooBigs.0 = Counter32: 0

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpOutNoSuchNames.0 = Counter32: 0

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpOutBadValues.0 = Counter32: 0

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpOutGenErrs.0 = Counter32: 0

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpOutGetRequests.0 = Counter32: 0

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpOutGetNexts.0 = Counter32: 0

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpOutSetRequests.0 = Counter32: 0

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpOutGetResponses.0 = Counter32: 25

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpOutTraps.0 = Counter32: 10

SNMPv2-MIB::snmpEnableAuthenTraps.0 = INTEGER: enabled(1)

 

 

So seems client side is fine. Please advice... below is the error we get by
mail

First off do you have NET-SNMP
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/net-snmp/files/net-snmp%20binaries/5.5-bina
ries/) installed on the server you are trying to fetch info from?

Which file that will be? The command.cfg file entry was the one we had put
in the earlier mail.

 

We are newbies's so if possible kindly explain in detail.

You need to look at the service definition as well as the command

definition to find out how the command is configured to run for this

particular service check.
