I was trying to add my IBM Blade Center S Chassis to SolarWinds however I received a pop-up message stating, It does not support the Interface MIBs.
Is their a MIB I can add or am I just unable to manage this?
don't know about the timeout unless the device is many hops away from you.
once you get the MIBs listed you might research the OIDs you'll need and then check out the Orion Admin Guide about Universal Device Pollers. that is the piece you'll have to use. they have some sample custom pollers already in the UnDP gui.
i have one IBM blade server in Orion database and it only supports SNMP v1 - the chassis has the OID of 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.158.5
and from the internal components it has a Brocade Fiber switch with interfaces 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.158.5 and then it has a Cisco Switch with interfaces 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.158.5
and then it has some type of Exide Electronics power unit OID of 1.3.6.1.4.1.534.6
...every couple of months it goes crazy and the SNMP management has to be reset.
my apologies. let me update this for those OIDs. my cut-n-paste failed me early this morning before i had coffee...
on this IBM Blade Chassis - the internal Brocade is 1.3.6.1.4.1.1588.2.1.1.37 and then the Cisco is 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.592
Interesting.
In my Blade Chassis I have the 3 Blades, 4 Switches (Nortel), a external SAN.
My main goal is to watch it all.. especially do to a drive failure I did not realize till I physically saw the the warning light and I don't walk back there often.
Do i ahve to manually add the OIDs to NPM? If so how? (any documentation I read)
i didn't have to do much since the Orion MIB database had most of what i needed for the IBM BLADE chassis/components monitoring.
our SAN is EMC CLARiiON and SNMP is minimal with their MIBs. at least it does do SNMP TRAPS for drive failures. we do not have any Nortel.
if the Orion MIB database didn't (or doesn't) get what you need at discovery time then you can manually use UnDP (Universal Device Poller) with those OIDs i mentioned or else whatever you can mibbrowse from the devices on your own.
the Orion Admin Guide (PDF) has all the info you'll need for manually building pollers with UnDP - Chapter 16 Page 213.
