Your Centreon poller must be able to reach the SNMP port (UDP/161) of the Adva device.

Installation​

yum install centreon-plugin-Network-Adva-Fsp150-Snmp
  1. Install the monitoring templates from the Centreon Monitoring Connector on the Configuration > Monitoring Connector Manager page

FAQ​

How do I test my configuration through the CLI 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_adva_fsp150_snmp.pl \
    --plugin=network::adva::fsp150::snmp::plugin \
    --mode=systems \
    --hostname=10.30.2.114 \
    --snmp-version='2c' \
    --snmp-community='public' \
  --verbose

The command above checks the CPU and memory (--mode=systems) of an Adva FSP 150 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_adva_fsp150_snmp.pl \
    --plugin=network::adva::fsp150::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_adva_fsp150_snmp.pl \
    --plugin=network::adva::fsp150::snmp::plugin \
    --mode=systems \
    --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 often refers to the following issues:

  • the Adva Optical device doesn't support the MIB used by the plugin
  • the targeted SNMP OID cannot be fetched because of insufficient privileges on the device
