Monitore a device with an adding MIB

Hello all,

I hope my problem will interest you because I'm totally blocked !!

I must monitore a Cisco CallManager that is installed on a Windows 2K3 server. So, i have added the MIB of this callmanager in Zenoss (with many difficults) but, now, i don't know how I can use this MIB to monitore some elements.

For exemple, I would see the status of this CallManager : the OID for that is 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.156.1.1.2.1.5 and when I do :

snmpwalk -v1 -cpublic 192.168.1.2 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.156.1.1.2.1.5

I have 2 when the status is up (1 when it's down).

So, how can I monitore this status on Zenoss interface (by polling for exemple) ??

 

I need your help because I didn't find similar cases in other topics or documentations.

 

(Sorry for my bad english... )

Read the Admin guide on creating your own SNMP datasources (and more

generally a Template to make them in).

Re: Monitore a device with an adding MIB

Thank you, I have already read this part of the documentation but when I do like they show, it doesn't work with my exemple.

I have created the template and datasource with the value of the OID that I showed above but when i add this template on my device, i don't see the state of Cisco Manager, I just see the name of my datasource and  a grey button (you know, it's green when it's work and grey when it's unknow i believe). I have no more informations on the Status...

Re: Monitore a device with an adding MIB

One of the devices I'm monitoring is a Cisco Call Mgr. I've set it up to respond to SNMP and also to send traps to Zenoss. This works very well.

Re: Monitore a device with an adding MIB

Well, Zenoss is going to generally not show anything specifically in the

GUI on that, but you could create a graph/threshold using a min of 2, so

when it goes to 1 you'll get an event showing it's down...
