Hi All,
I have been using Zenoss for about 3 years now. I have always used the built in templates or community Zenpacks. Until now....We have 3 BES servers which we are trying to poll/trap using SNMP. I have installed the mibs on the Zenoss server and using a MIB browser found one of the OID we wish to be alerted on if its status changes. Its the SRP connection property.
I did some searching and found some posts with fragments of information but what really need basic how to. I was able to create a monitoring template, put the OID as the source and create a threshold...here is were I started to get lost. The admin guild talk about creating graphs and all this extra stuff I don't think we need. We don't need to graph the SRP connection its connected or its not, we want an alert when its not. As far as I can tell the OID returns a 0 or 1. 1 being SRP is up, 0 being its down. So in my threshold I have the min value 1 and max value 0...is this backwards?
I think if someone could help me or point me in the right direction to understanding how to make the monitoring templates and threshold process clearer I can likely figure out the rest. I also need some way to test the template, rebooting a server is not really an option. Would a template applied to a server show up in the Zenoss logs with a failed or ok status?
Of course I'm open to other ideas. I'm told I have to use Zenoss, but no one said how. So if there a easier, cleaner way I'm willing to try it.
Oh minor detail. This is Zenoss 3.2.1 running on CentOS6.2. and here is the output of my snmpwalk
snmpwalk -v2c -c<community> <host IP> 1.3.6.1.4.1.3530.6.7.35.120.15.1.2
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.3530.6.7.35.120.15.1.2.1.14.783378895 = INTEGER: 1
Thanks!
Mike
