I have a number of scripts I have developed to monitor our UPS units
via SNMP - I found the included plugins didn't give me enough power/
flexibility with the monitoring, so I made my own. Unfortunately, we
have just added a new UPS to the system which, although made by the
same company, uses different OID's for the data I am pulling. Thus the
issue: I want the same data, so other than the OID's the existing
scripts would work. But how do I deal with different OID's on
different devices?
So far I've thought of the following:
1) Make a second copy of my scripts with the new OID's. Also implies
creating new contacts to use the new script (the notification script
pulls data such as estimated run time via snmp) and maintaining two
copies of each check/notification script
2) Somehow pass the OID's to the scripts from nagios. Not quite sure
how I would manage this, as the OID's would need to be associated with
the hosts, and further complicated by the fact that some scripts use 3
or more OID's - for example, the main script looks at UPS state(On
battery, on line power, etc) estimated run time (if on battery) and
time on battery - so it would need to be passed three separate OIDS.
Perhaps this approach could be simplified by simply passing a code
identifying which set of OID's the script should use, at the expense
of a more complicated script. Still need to find some way of getting
that into Nagios so it can pass the appropriate value to the script
though.
Anyone else run into a similar situation? What does everyone else
think the best approach here is? Thanks.
