To use this pack, the SNMP service must be properly configured on your Cisco Umbrella server. Please refer to the official documentation from Cisco:

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 Cisco Umbrella resources:
yum install centreon-plugin-Network-Cisco-Umbrella-Snmp
  1. On the Centreon web interface, on page Configuration > Monitoring Connector Manager, install the Cisco Umbrella 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 Cisco Umbrella server settings.
  • Apply the Net-Cisco-Umbrella-SNMP-custom template to the host.

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_cisco_umbrella_snmp.pl \
--plugin=network::cisco::umbrella::snmp::plugin \
--mode=query \
--hostname='10.0.0.1' \
--snmp-version='2c' \
--snmp-community='my-snmp-community' \
--warning-5m='' \
--critical-5m='' \
--warning-15m='' \
--critical-15m='' \
--use-new-perfdata

The expected command output is shown below:

OK: Query rate: 3/s (5m), 5/s (15m) | 'dns.query.last.5m.persecond.count'=3;;;0; 'dns.query.last.15m.persecond.count'=5;;;0; 

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

/usr/lib/centreon/plugins//centreon_cisco_umbrella_snmp.pl \
--plugin=network::cisco::umbrella::snmp::plugin \
--mode=query \
--help

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

/usr/lib/centreon/plugins//centreon_cisco_umbrella_snmp.pl \
--plugin=network::cisco::umbrella::snmp::plugin \
--list-mode
