Monitoring Connector Assetsβ
Monitored Objectsβ
The Monitoring Connector BDT MultiStak SNMP collects metrics for:
- Hardware
Collected Metricsβ
- Hardware
Metric name | Description | Unit |
---|---|---|
device status | Status of the device | |
module status | Status of the module | |
module board status | Status of the module board | |
module psu status | Status of the module power supply |
Prerequisitesβ
To monitor your BDT MultiStak device, the SNMP must be configured.
Setupβ
- Online License
- Offline License
- Install the Centreon Plugin on every Poller:
yum install centreon-plugin-Hardware-Storage-Bdt-Multistak-Snmp
- On the Centreon Web interface in "Configuration > Plugin Β¨Packs > Manager", install the BDT MultiStak SNMP Monitoring Connector
- Install the Centreon Plugin on every Poller:
yum install centreon-plugin-Hardware-Storage-Bdt-Multistak-Snmp
- On the Centreon Central server, install the Centreon Monitoring Connector from the RPM:
yum install centreon-pack-hardware-storage-bdt-multistak-snmp
- On the Centreon Web interface in Configuration > Monitoring Connectors Manager, install the BDT MultiStak SNMP Monitoring Connector
Host configurationβ
- Add a new Host and fill the IP Address/FQDN, SNMP Version and SNMP Community fields according to the device's configuration
- Apply the HW-Storage-Bdt-Multistak-SNMP-Custom Host Template
When using SNMP v3, use the SNMPEXTRAOPTIONS Macro to add specific authentication parameters More information in the Troubleshooting SNMP section.
Mandatory | Name | Description |
---|---|---|
SNMPEXTRAOPTIONS | Configure your own SNMPv3 credentials combo |
How to test the Plugin and what are the main options for?β
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_bdt_multistak_snmp.pl \
--plugin=storage::bdt::multistak::snmp::plugin \
--mode=hardware \
--hostname=10.30.2.114 \
--snmp-version='2c' \
--snmp-community='bdtms_ro' \
--verbose
Expected command output is shown below:
OK: All 2 components are ok [1/1 device, 1/1 modules]. | 'hardware.device.count'=1;;;; 'hardware.module.count'=1;;;;
vendor: BDT, product: MULTISTAK, serial: DE56400414, revision: 1.2.0-A000
checking device
device health status is 'ok' [instance: 0]
checking modules
module '4' status is 'OK' [board status: N/A] [power supply: OK][instance: 4].
The command above monitors BDT MultiStak equipment (--plugin=storage::bdt::multistak::snmp::plugin --mode=hardware
) identified
by the IP address 10.30.2.114 (--hostname=10.30.2.114
). As the Plugin is using the SNMP protocol to request the device, the related
community and version are specified (--snmp-version='2c' --snmp-community='bdtms_ro'
).
All the options as well as all the available thresholds can be displayed by adding the --help
parameter to the command:
/usr/lib/centreon/plugins/centreon_bdt_multistak_snmp.pl \
--plugin=storage::bdt::multistak::snmp::plugin \
--mode=hardware \
--help
Troubleshootingβ
UNKNOWN: SNMP GET Request : Timeoutβ
If you get this message, you're probably facing one of theses issues:
- The SNMP agent of the device isn't started or is misconfigured
- An external device is blocking the request (firewall, ...)
UNKNOWN: SNMP GET Request : Cant get a single value.β
This error message often refers to the following issues:
- The agent doesn't support the MIB used by the plugin
- The targeted SNMP OID cannot be fetched because of insufficient privileges on the device. SNMP Agent must be capable of accessing to the enterprise branch: .1.3.6.1.4.1.20884
