Description :
Checks by snmp v1, v2c or v3 CSS services state
SNMP Login
See snmp info page
Requirements :
- Perl in /usr/bin/perl - or just run 'perl
script'
- Net::SNMP
- file 'utils.pm' in plugin diretory (/usr/local/nagios/libexec)
Checks
This scripts checks status of the CSS services.
Select service(s)
You select services you wan't to check with -n using regular expressions
Put thresholds
You select the warning and critical levels for : <num>,<resp>,<conn>
num : minimum number of active & alive service
resp : average response time in ms
conn : number of connexions
You can choose not to put 1, 2 or 3 numbers.
If you set "-w 3" only the number of active services will
be checked.
If you set "-w 3,200" only the number of active services
and response time will be checked.
For no warnings, put -1 (ex : -w5,-1,3).
When using negative numbers, dont put space after "-w"
: "-w -1,100,6" will not work, "-w-1,100,6"
will work.
-d option and check_snmp_css_main.pl
This option is set to make the script read
the index from a file instead of on the CSS.
The reason of this option is :
- when you have a lot (> 50) services on the CSS
- you want to check 10 service group consisting of 5 services every
2 minutes.
If you use check_snmp_css, then it will read
the index (50 oids) + checks 5 oids = 55 OID every 12 seconds in
average. This will heavily load the CSS.
This is why I wrote check_snmp_css_main.pl. This script will get
the index of the CSS every 10 minutes for example (could be more)
as the index won't change often.
Then the check_snmp_css will only have to check for the 5 oids every
12 seconds, which will reduce by about 10 the amount of snmp queries
!
How to use it :
Create a service with long inter-delay check
executing :
check_snmp_css_main.pl -H <host> <snmp
logins> -2 -d /var/tmp
-2 if for using snmpv2c (better to get a lot of data)
-d /var/tmp is to put the temp file to a special directory
(default is /tmp).
A file named : Nagios_CSS_<IP Address>
will be created
Then you can use your check_snmp_css.pl script
just as before but adding the '-d' option with the temp directory
if not /tmp.
If the Nagios_CSS_<IP> file is not created
when the check_snmp_css script runs, it will then return unknown
status.
If the check_snmp_css_main.pl cannot read index, a warning will
be returned but the old index file will remain.
A lockfile is created bye check_snmp_css_main.pl
when it writes it's file. The check_snmp_css script will wait until
the lock file is removed to read the index file.
The lock file is named : Nagios_CSS_<IP Address>.lock
The lock file format is simple: every line is in format
<OID>:<Service name>
