Prerequisites​

SNMP Configuration​

To use this pack, the SNMP service must be properly configured on your Efficient IP server. Please refer to the manufacturer official documentation.

Network flow​

The target server must be reachable from the Centreon poller on the UDP/161 SNMP port.

Setup​

  1. Install the package on every Centreon poller expected to monitor Efficient IP resources:
yum install centreon-plugin-Network-Efficientip-Snmp
  1. On the Centreon web interface, on page Configuration > Monitoring Connector Manager, install the Efficient IP Centreon Monitoring Connector.

Configuration​

Host​

  • Log into Centreon and add a new host through Configuration > Hosts.
  • Fill the Name, Alias & IP Address/DNS fields according to your Efficient IP server settings.
  • Apply the Net-Efficientip-SNMP-custom template to the host.

If you are using SNMP Version 3, use the SNMPEXTRAOPTIONS macro to configure your own SNMPv3 credentials combo.

How to check in the CLI that the configuration is OK and what are the main options for?​

Once the plugin is installed, log into your Centreon poller's CLI using the centreon-engine user account (su - centreon-engine) and test the plugin by running the following command:

/usr/lib/centreon/plugins/centreon_efficientip_snmp.pl --plugin=network::efficientip::snmp::plugin --mode=dns-usage --hostname=10.0.0.1 --snmp-version='2c' --snmp-community='my-community'   --filter-counters='^(success|formerr|servfail|nxdomain|nxrrset|failure)$' --warning-udp='' --critical-udp='' --warning-tcp='' --critical-tcp='' --warning-requestv4='' --critical-requestv4='' --warning-requestv6='' --critical-requestv6='' --warning-recursion='' --critical-recursion='' --warning-response='' --critical-response='' --warning-recurserej='' --critical-recurserej='' --warning-duplicate='' --critical-duplicate='' --warning-dropped='' --critical-dropped='' --warning-res-queryv4='' --critical-res-queryv4='' --warning-res-queryv6='' --critical-res-queryv6='' --warning-res-retry='' --critical-res-retry='' --warning-res-responsev4='' --critical-res-responsev4='' --warning-res-responsev6='' --critical-res-responsev6='' --warning-success='' --critical-success='' --warning-formerr='' --critical-formerr='' --warning-servfail='' --critical-servfail='' --warning-nxdomain='' --critical-nxdomain='' --warning-nxrrset='' --critical-nxrrset='' --warning-failure='' --critical-failure='' --warning-xfrdone='' --critical-xfrdone='' --warning-xfrrej='' --critical-xfrrej='' --warning-res-val='' --critical-res-val='' --warning-res-valsuccess='' --critical-res-valsuccess='' --warning-res-valnegsuccess='' --critical-res-valnegsuccess='' --warning-res-valfail='' --critical-res-valfail='' 

The expected command output is shown below:

OK: Sent NOERROR : 0, Sent FORMERR : 0, Sent SERVFAIL : 0, Sent NXDOMAIN : 0, Sent nxrrset : 0, Sent Other failure : 0 | 'success'=0;;;0; 'formerr'=0;;;0; 'servfail'=0;;;0; 'nxdomain'=0;;;0; 'nxrrset'=0;;;0; 'failure'=0;;;0;

All available options for a given mode can be displayed by adding the --help parameter to the command:

/usr/lib/centreon/plugins/centreon_efficientip_snmp.pl \
--plugin=network::efficientip::snmp::plugin \
--mode=dns-usage \
--help

All available modes can be displayed by adding the --list-mode parameter to the command:

/usr/lib/centreon/plugins/centreon_efficientip_snmp.pl \
--plugin=network::efficientip::snmp::plugin \
--mode=dns-usage \
--list-mode
