Templates​

The Monitoring Connector OneAccess SNMP brings a host template:

  • Net-Oneaccess-SNMP-custom

The connector brings the following service templates (sorted by the host template they are attached to):

Service AliasService TemplateService Description
CpuNet-Oneaccess-Cpu-SNMP-customCheck the rate of utilization of CPU for the machine
MemoryNet-Oneaccess-Memory-SNMP-customCheck the rate of the utilization of memory

The services listed above are created automatically when the Net-Oneaccess-SNMP-custom host template is used.

Prerequisites​

SNMP Configuration​

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

Network flow​

The target server must be reachable from the Centreon poller on the UDP/161 SNMP port.

Installing the monitoring connector​

Pack​

The installation procedures for monitoring connectors are slightly different depending on whether your license is offline or online.

  1. If the platform uses an online license, you can skip the package installation instruction below as it is not required to have the connector displayed within the Configuration > Connectors > Monitoring Connectors menu. If the platform uses an offline license, install the package on the central server with the command corresponding to the operating system's package manager:
dnf install centreon-pack-network-oneaccess-snmp
  1. Whatever the license type (online or offline), install the OneAccess SNMP connector through the Configuration > Connectors > Monitoring Connectors menu.

Plugin​

Since Centreon 22.04, you can benefit from the 'Automatic plugin installation' feature. When this feature is enabled, you can skip the installation part below.

You still have to manually install the plugin on the poller(s) when:

  • Automatic plugin installation is turned off
  • You want to run a discovery job from a poller that doesn't monitor any resource of this kind yet

More information in the Installing the plugin section.

Use the commands below according to your operating system's package manager:

dnf install centreon-plugin-Network-Oneaccess-Snmp

Using the monitoring connector​

Using a host template provided by the connector​

  1. Log into Centreon and add a new host through Configuration > Hosts.
  2. Fill the Name, Alias & IP Address/DNS fields according to your resource's settings.
  3. Apply the Net-Oneaccess-SNMP-custom template to the host.

When using SNMP v3, use the SNMPEXTRAOPTIONS macro to add specific authentication parameters. More information in the Troubleshooting SNMP section.

MacroDescriptionDefault valueMandatory
SNMPEXTRAOPTIONSAny extra option you may want to add to every command (E.g. a --verbose flag). All options are listed here
  1. Deploy the configuration. The host appears in the list of hosts, and on the Resources Status page. The command that is sent by the connector is displayed in the details panel of the host: it shows the values of the macros.

Using a service template provided by the connector​

  1. If you have used a host template and checked Create Services linked to the Template too, the services linked to the template have been created automatically, using the corresponding service templates. Otherwise, create manually the services you want and apply a service template to them.
  2. Fill in the macros you want (e.g. to change the thresholds for the alerts). Some macros are mandatory (see the table below).
MacroDescriptionDefault valueMandatory
CUSTOMPERFDATAINSTANCESDefine perfdatas instance (default: '%(cellId) %(operator)')%(cellId) %(operator)

WARNINGSTATUSDefine the conditions to match for the status to be WARNING (default: '%{signalQuality} =~ /poor/'). You can use the following variables: %{simStatus}, %{signalQuality}, %{cellId}, %{icci}, %{operator}, %{imsi}%{signalQuality} =~ /poor/
CRITICALSTATUSDefine the conditions to match for the status to be CRITICAL (default: '%{simStatus} eq "notPresent" || %{signalQuality} =~ /none/'). You can use the following variables: %{simStatus}, %{signalQuality}, %{cellId}, %{icci}, %{operator}, %{imsi}%{simStatus} eq "notPresent" || %{signalQuality} =~ /none/
EXTRAOPTIONSAny extra option you may want to add to the command (E.g. a --verbose flag). All options are listed here--verbose
  1. Deploy the configuration. The service appears in the list of services, and on page Resources Status. The command that is sent by the connector is displayed in the details panel of the service: it shows the values of the macros.

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). Test that the connector is able to monitor a server using a command like this one (replace the sample values by yours):

/usr/lib/centreon/plugins/centreon_oneaccess.pl \
    --plugin=network::oneaccess::snmp::plugin \
    --mode=cpu \
    --hostname='10.0.0.1' \
    --snmp-version='2c' \
    --snmp-community='my-snmp-community' \
    --verbose

The expected command output is shown below:

OK: CPU Usage: 31 % | 'cpu.utilization.percentage'=31%;;;0;100

Troubleshooting​

Please find the troubleshooting documentation for Centreon Plugins typical issues.

Available modes​

In most cases, a mode corresponds to a service template. The mode appears in the execution command for the connector. In the Centreon interface, you don't need to specify a mode explicitly: its use is implied when you apply a service template. However, you will need to specify the correct mode for the template if you want to test the execution command for the connector in your terminal.

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

/usr/lib/centreon/plugins/centreon_oneaccess.pl \
	--plugin=network::oneaccess::snmp::plugin \
	--list-mode

The plugin brings the following modes:

ModeLinked service template
cells-radioNet-Oneaccess-Cells-Radio-SNMP-custom
cpuNet-Oneaccess-Cpu-SNMP-custom
interfacesNet-Oneaccess-Interfaces-SNMP-custom
list-interfacesUsed for service discovery
list-rtt-probesUsed for service discovery
memoryNet-Oneaccess-Memory-SNMP-custom
rtt-probesNet-Oneaccess-Rtt-Probes-SNMP-custom

Available options​

Generic options​

All generic options are listed here:

OptionDescription
--modeDefine the mode in which you want the plugin to be executed (see--list-mode).

--filter-perfdata-advFilter perfdata based on a "if" condition using the following variables: label, value, unit, warning, critical, min, max. Variables must be written either %{variable} or %(variable). Eg: adding --filter-perfdata-adv='not (%(value) == 0 and %(max) eq "")' will remove all metrics whose value equals 0 and that don't have a maximum value.
--explode-perfdata-maxCreate a new metric for each metric that comes with a maximum limit. The new metric will be named identically with a '_max' suffix). Eg: it will split 'used_prct'=26.93%;0:80;0:90;0;100 into 'used_prct'=26.93%;0:80;0:90;0;100 'used_prct_max'=100%;;;;
--change-perfdata --extend-perfdataChange or extend perfdata.

Syntax: --extend-perfdata-group=regex,namesofnewmetrics,calculation[,[ne wuom],[min],[max]] regex: regular expression namesofnewmetrics: how the new metrics' names are composed (can use $1, $2... for groups defined by () in regex). calculation: how the values of the new metrics should be calculated newuom (optional): unit of measure for the new metrics min (optional): lowest value the metrics can reach max (optional): highest value the metrics can reach Common examples: Sum wrong packets from all interfaces (with interface need --units-errors=absolute): --extend-perfdata-group=',packets_wrong,sum(packets_(discard |error)_(in|out))' Sum traffic by interface: --extend-perfdata-group='traffic_in_(.*),traffic_$1,sum(traf fic_(in|out)_$1)'
--change-short-output --change-long-outputModify the short/long output that is returned by the plugin. Syntax: --change-short-output=patternreplacementmodifier Most commonly used modifiers are i (case insensitive) and g (replace all occurrences). Eg: adding --change-short-output='OKUpgi' will replace all occurrences of 'OK', 'ok', 'Ok' or 'oK' with 'Up'
--change-exitReplace an exit code with one of your choice. Eg: adding --change-exit=unknown=critical will result in a CRITICAL state instead of an UNKNOWN state.

--opt-exitReplace the exit code in case of an execution error (i.e. wrong option provided, SSH connection refused, timeout, etc). Default: unknown.
--output-ignore-perfdataRemove all the metrics from the service. The service will still have a status and an output.
--output-ignore-labelRemove the status label ("OK:", "WARNING:", "UNKNOWN:", CRITICAL:") from the beginning of the output. Eg: 'OK: Ram Total:...' will become 'Ram Total:...'
--output-xmlReturn the output in XML format (to send to an XML API).
--output-jsonReturn the output in JSON format (to send to a JSON API).
--output-openmetricsReturn the output in OpenMetrics format (to send to a tool expecting this format).
