linux hardware status

tbell52 Sep 10, 2009 9:00 AM

I've created a universal device poller to monitor hardware status of things like fans, hard drive, and power supply. The OID I used for drives is 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.3.2.5.1.1.6. This works fine on all of our windows servers but for some reason it will not work on the linux servers. Anyone have any suggestions on how to get it to work on linux or maybe another way to monitor the status of the hardware I listed?

Hi tbell52,
The OID for the linux servers will very likely be different than it is on Windows.
What I would recommend is to try the SNMP MIB Browser or MIB Walk tools from our Engineers Toolset (you can download an eval version from the website).
Using those tools you can discover all of the SNMP OID's available to be monitored on the linux box.
Hope that helps.

  Can you add a link to this post for the engineer tooset? I wouldn't mind trying the MIB Walk tool myself.

Make sure that the Poller is set for Get Next, or Get Table. If the OID still comes back as unsupported, then the Device is not responding to the OID that you have set. The best way to see what your device responds to is to use our Toolset and perform a MIB Walk.

MIB Walk will discover and produce reports detailing which MIBs and OIDs are supported on a particular device. For more information about MIB Walk see the Toolset's Administrator's Guide on PDF page 324.
