SNMP monitoring for MSL - advice needed

[Bob_Pekarek]

Hello everyone,

We are implementing prometheus for hardware monitoring of devices in our company and i have been tasked, to pick what we want to pickup from the tape libraries. Basicaly there will be a script that will be running snmpwalk to get all info that can library send us over the SNMP and then we pick what interests us for alerting.

I suppose that errcounters are what i should be interested in, but i am a little bit stuck, because i was not able to find any document that would provide any reference to which of them means what.  Is there anyone who would be able to point me to some documentation regarding these, or who already done something simila and managed to find out meaning of these counters? Find out which one of them is for hardware errors liek failed drive is pretty much all i need, but knowing more would be even better. I appreciate any help.

The Mib used is NetCitizen MIB.   The support center seems to be down or I would post a link to it.

[NarayanKK-SO]

The current MIB for MSL covers reporting of all HW failures. We are currently unable to download the MIB. I will share the link once the site is up.

Thank you for your patience.

[Bob_Pekarek]

Well, i do not need the mib, or i should rather say i have it and it provided me no help. We are not using traps that are described there, i need to know what specific snmp messages are connected to the library hw health.
As i mentioned, we will be sending snmpwalk to the library and getting all snmp messages from there and picking the ones we need for monitoring.

[NarayanKK-SO]

@Bob_Pekarek 

The original MIB for MSL contains the OID's relating to each of the HW components which will be reported when monitored. Hence we are trying to get the HPE MIB and point out each MIB ID's and their reporting options. 

If you have the Original HPE MIB, do share it as we have issues with the download site due to maintanence. Or share the external link (if any) from where it was downloded.

We will wait for your response

[NarayanKK-SO]

@boB_Pakarek

The MIB Download site is currently unavailable. Without which matching the OID's is not possible. Do share the MIB details once you have them. 

Thanks

Here is the link.

are these numbers OIDs?

Hello @Bob_Pekarek 

Yes they are. Looks like the PDF file has got the info about the OID and their associated function.
