FAQ​
How can I test the Plugin and what do the main parameters stand for ?​
Once the Centreon plugin installed, you can test it directly on the Centreon Poller by logging into the CLI with the centreon-engine user:
/usr/lib/centreon/plugins/centreon_eltek_enexus_snmp.pl \
--plugin=hardware::devices::eltek::enexus::snmp::plugin \
--mode=battery \
--hostname=10.30.2.114 \
--snmp-version='2c' \
--snmp-community='public' \
--verbose
The command above checks the battery status (--mode=battery) of an Eltek eNexus device. The device's IP address is 10.30.2.114 (--hostname=10.30.2.114), SNMP version 2 is used and the device's SNMP community is public (--snmp-community='public').
You can display all modes available for the Plugin using the --list-mode parameter as in the command below:
/usr/lib/centreon/plugins/centreon_eltek_enexus_snmp.pl \
--plugin=hardware::devices::eltek::enexus::snmp::plugin \
--list-mode
You can display options of a specific mode by using the --help flag. Here is an example to display systems mode parameters:
/usr/lib/centreon/plugins/centreon_eltek_enexus_snmp.pl \
--plugin=hardware::devices::eltek::enexus::snmp::plugin \
--mode=battery \
--help
UNKNOWN: SNMP GET Request : Timeout​
This message generally means that you are not using the right SNMP version or community. It could also indicate that a third-party device like a firewall is blocking the SNMP UDP/161 request.
UNKNOWN: SNMP GET Request : Cant get a single value.​
This error message can refer to the following issues:
- the Eltek eNexus device doesn't support the MIB used by the Plugin
- the targeted SNMP OID cannot be fetched because of insufficient privileges on the device
