FAQ

How to test the Plugin and what are the main options for ?

Once the plugin installed, log into your Centreon Poller CLI using the centreon-engine user account and test the Plugin by running the following command:

/usr/lib/centreon/plugins//centreon_timelinkmicro_tms6001_snmp.pl \
    --plugin=hardware::devices::timelinkmicro::tms6001::snmp \
    --mode=alarms \
    --hostname=10.30.2.114 \
    --snmp-version='2c' \
    --snmp-community='timelink_ro' \
    --verbose 

This check monitors open alarms (--mode=alarms) on a Timelink device with 10.30.2.114 IP (--hostname=10.30.2.114) using SNMP v2 and 'timelink_ro' Community string (--snmp-version='2c' --snmp-community='timelink_ro')

Use the --list-mode option to display all the modes available in the Plugin:

/usr/lib/centreon/plugins//centreon_timelinkmicro_tms6001_snmp.pl \
    --plugin=hardware::devices::timelinkmicro::tms6001::snmp \
    --list-mode

Use the --help flag to display a dedicated manual for a given mode:

/usr/lib/centreon/plugins//centreon_timelinkmicro_tms6001_snmp.pl \
    --plugin=hardware::devices::timelinkmicro::tms6001::snmp \
    --mode=cpu \
    --help
