Nagios Monitoring CPU on HP5945

[declan2777]

Hi all,

I am looking for advice,; we currently have Nagios set up to monitor cisco devices and all is good. I am setting Nagios to Monitor HP5945 and it is logging to nagios etc however I cannot get CPU information etc. Is there anything specific other than snmp to be configured on the switch? Also, is there any particular config needs to be added to Nagios etc . All help much appreciated

Also, the SNMP walk is timing out

Hello @declan2777 !

It will be extremely useful, if you provide more information about configuraiton of your switch. May be "display current-config" output (with all sensitive information deleted or obfuscated) will be a good starting point. Also, you can check if snmp-agent is enabled at all - "display snmp statistics". Another test - ping your Nagios server from the 5945 or vice versa and see if they can reach each other on Layer 3.

In general you need to compile appropriate MIBs and import them to Nagios in order to use SNMP protocol with Comware devices. https://h10145.www1.hpe.com/downloads/SoftwareReleases.aspx?ProductNumber=JQ075A , Comware MIBs_V11-DataCenter But even without MIBs very basic queries like snmp-get .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0 OID should work.

snmp-agent seems to be working on the switch. What about simple check if Nagios server can communicate with the switch on Layer 3 and by SNMP - try following commands from the host running Nagios (assuming it's a LInux host with net-snmp package installed):

ping <ip_address_of_the_switch>

snmpget -v 2c -c <read_community_string> <ip_address_of_the_switch> 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0
