Prerequisites

SNMP Configuration

To use this Pack, the SNMP service must be properly configured on your device.

Network flow

The target equipment must be reachable from the Centreon Poller on the UDP/161 SNMP port.

yum install centreon-plugin-Network-Netgear-Sseries-Snmp

2. On the Centreon web interface, install the Netgear SSeries SNMP Centreon Pack on the Configuration > Monitoring Connector Manager page.

Offline License

1. Install the Centreon package on every Centreon poller expected to monitor Netgear Smart Switches resources:

yum install centreon-plugin-Network-Netgear-Sseries-Snmp

2. Install the Netgear SSeries SNMP Centreon Pack RPM on the Centreon Central server:

yum install centreon-pack-network-netgear-sseries-snmp

3. On the Centreon web interface, install the Netgear SSeries SNMP Centreon Pack on the Configuration > Monitoring Connector Manager page.

Configuration

Host

• Log into Centreon and add a new host through Configuration > Hosts.
• Fill the Name, Alias & IP Address / DNS fields according to your Netgear Smart Switches equipment settings.
• Apply the Net-Netgear-Sseries-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_netgear_sseries_snmp.pl \
    --plugin=network::netgear::sseries::snmp \
    --mode=cpu \
    --hostname=10.0.0.1 \
    --snmp-version='2c' \
    --snmp-community='my-snmp-community'

The expected command output is shown below:

OK: cpu average usage: 48.83 % (5s), 40.43 % (1m), 19.85 % (5m) | 'cpu.utilization.5s.percentage'=48.83%;;;0;100 'cpu.utilization.1m.percentage'=40.43%;;;0;100 'cpu.utilization.5m.percentage'=19.85%;;;0;100

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

/usr/lib/centreon/plugins/centreon_netgear_sseries_snmp.pl \
    --plugin=network::netgear::sseries::snmp \
    --mode=cpu \
    --help

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

/usr/lib/centreon/plugins/centreon_netgear_sseries_snmp.pl \
    --plugin=network::netgear::sseries::snmp \
    --list-mode
