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_alcatel_omniswitch_snmp.pl \
    --plugin=network::alcatel::omniswitch::snmp::plugin \
    --mode=interfaces \
    --hostname=10.0.0.1 \
    --snmp-version='2c' \
    --snmp-community='my-snmp-community' \
    --interface='' \
    --name \
    --warning-in-traffic='' \
    --critical-in-traffic='' \
    --warning-out-traffic='' \
    --critical-out-traffic='' \
    --use-new-perfdata

The expected command output is shown below:

OK: Traffic In : 321.02b/s (-) Traffic Out : 382.02b/s (-) | 'interface.traffic.in.bitspersecond'=9000b/s;;;0; 'interface.traffic.out.bitspersecond'=9000b/s;;;0;

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

/usr/lib/centreon/plugins/centreon_alcatel_omniswitch_snmp.pl \
    --plugin=network::alcatel::omniswitch::snmp::plugin \
    --mode=interfaces \
    --help

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

/usr/lib/centreon/plugins/centreon_alcatel_omniswitch_snmp.pl \
    --plugin=network::alcatel::omniswitch::snmp::plugin \
    --list-mode
