Thanks Jörg,
Thanks for the check uptime plugin script. I did get that plugin to work but it \
doesn't work with the "-c mycommunity" switch, it still uses the default "public" \
community. The host switch "-h x.x.x.x" works fine. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
In Nagios, the output shows:
OK - 199.180.176.2: sysUpTime is 68 days, 22:48:07.08
How can I get it to simply show:
68 days, 22:48:07.08
That would be much easier to scan a list in my uptime service group.
I'll have to use a test switch and play with the alerts. Thanks again.
-Will

The thought in my mind for querying uptime via snmp had 2 purposes, 1.) to \

Nagios for my network engineers/techs to view.
I like the idea of alerting on uptime < 1 day. But wouldn't the reply need to be in \
a numbered time format only? I guess my mind is in Cacti threshold plugin mode. For \
example:
If the snmp respond replies with 4579200 in seconds (53 days), and I want to alert \
on uptime less than 1 day then my alert value would be <86400, correct? If this is \
true how can this be done when the response is:
"iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0 = Timeticks: (447923619) 51 days, 20:13:56.19"
Or can I alert based on 447923619 only? It appears the 447923619 is seconds with the \
last 2 digits being hundredths. Secondly, how can I simply display "51 days, \
20:13:56.19" In Nagios? I know these are basic questions, I have a lot to learn and \
will continue to research every day.
We have ssh only enabled for obvious security reasons, so that would work as well \
for monitoring device vitals.
I'm still interested in what other Network Managers as myself are using, services \
wise to monitor critical core equipment vitals other than ping, if anyone else would \
like to share.
Today we are using an older version of whatsup with a little over 1000 \
devices/services (includes CPE) with ping only. I'm looking to Nagios as a possible \
future replacement. Love it so far, just a bit of a learning curve. NagiosQL helps me \
a lot with config files.
Thanks for the response.

You could also do ssh or even telnet, if you have them enabled.
You did not ask, but a comment on uptime. You can use it to detect router bounces, \
detecting rogue reloads or perhaps system crashes. I have it to go to critical \
whenever the uptime is below X minutes, and email out. Network tests such as ping, \
snmp or ssh availability might miss a quick box's trip down, but uptime will always \
catch a reload.

Hi list,
Well I'm not sure which of the steps below worked but it started working in Nagios \
and the check_snmp command works from cli. I'd still be interested in a guide or the \
correct steps I should have taken. I'm on a test vm now but will be reinstalling on a \
production vm later.
root@atcdeb01:~# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_snmp -H x.x.x.x -C public -o \
sysUpTime.0
SNMP OK - Timeticks: (448261008) 51 days, 21:10:10.08 |
root@atcdeb01:~#
Now I've got to figure out a couple more things. Feel free to respond if you can \
help.
1.) Even though ping and uptime show ok, the test Cisco host status went to \
"PENDING" in Nagios…?
2.) Not sure how to get rid of part of the response I don't need for uptime. I \
only need "51 days, 21:10:10.08" under Status Information in Nagios
Another thing, I'm looking for advice. For monitoring up/down status' for core Cisco \
routers/switches my idea is to monitor snmp response and ping, but I don't want to \
get 2 alerts from 1 device if it were to go down.
So can I get ping or snmp alerts if they go down individually and only one alert if \
the device is down hard? What other services do you recommend monitoring for up/down \
status besides ping?
Or is ping sufficient enough in your opinion? I may configure text alerts only on \
ping and maybe just email alerts for snmp, or no alerts for snmp. I like seeing \
uptime in Nagios though, it makes it easy to see if any devices have just rebooted \
after an event.
I continue to research every day but I am interested in your thoughts and opinions \
if you'd like to share.
Oh, can I integrate Nagios with my Cacti? Sorry for all the questions but will be \
very grateful for any responses.
Thanks all very much,
-Will

Subject: [Nagios-users] Monitor Cisco Uptime
Hi list,
I've searched to no avail, this is a basic question with hopefully a simple answer.
I'm a long time cacti user (windows), I know basic Linux knowledge, new to Nagios. I \
have a fresh install of Debian stable (squeeze) with apt-get installed Webmin, ssh, \
apache2, and Nagios 3.2.1, nagiosql, and whatever dependencies. I am trying to setup \
monitoring of our core Cisco routers and switches. I have configured 2 services, ping \
and uptime. Ping works great of course but I can't get a valid response from \
check_snmp for uptime. Here's the command I've tried from the command line:
root@atcdeb01:/# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_snmp -H x.x.x.x -C public -o \
sysUpTime.0
no output, it just hangs
I've also tried
root@atcdeb01:/# /usr/bin/snmpget -v2c -c public x.x.x.x sysUpTime.0
sysUpTime.0: Unknown Object Identifier (Sub-id not found: (top) -> sysUpTime)
Obviously with the correct IP and community string
If I try this I get:
root@atcdeb01:/# /usr/bin/snmpget -v2c -c public x.x.x.x 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0
iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0 = Timeticks: (447923619) 51 days, 20:13:56.19
So using OID names aren't working. I've researched with not much luck.
From here and various other sites I've tried…
http://wiki.debian.org/SNMP <http://wiki.debian.org/SNMP>
Added "deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian <http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian> \
squeeze main contrib non-free" to /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update
Then apt-get install snmp-mibs-downloader
Then "download-mibs". Restart snmp.
All to no avail. What am I doing wrong? Is there a simple guide I can use so \
check_snmp works with oid names for Cisco and other devices?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Best Regards,
-Will

below X minutes, and email out. Network tests such as ping, snmp or ssh availability \
might miss a quick box's trip down, but uptime will always catch a \
reload.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p \
