best approach here is? Thanks.
We do a lot of SNMP monitoring for a number of various agents -
Net-SNMP, Cisco, Sysedge. I have found it to be much easier to
maintain and release the scripts by doing one agent type per script.
This lets you create a 'bundle' of scripts for an agent type.
E.g.
net-snmp/check_net_snmp_cpu.pl
net-snmp/check_net_snmp_disk.pl
net-snmp/check_net_snmp_la.pl
net-snmp/check_net_snmp_mem.pl
net-snmp/check_net_snmp_procs.pl
net-snmp/check_net_snmp_swap.pl
sysedge/check_sysedge_cpu.pl
sysedge/check_sysedge_la.pl
sysedge/check_sysedge_mem.pl
sysedge/check_sysedge_swap.pl
sysedge/check_sysedge_unix_storage.pl
This then helps us also keep our configurations consistent as we do
the service definitions and comand definitions in files by type ..
ommands/net-snmp.cfg
commands/sysedge.cfg
services/net-snmp.cfg
services/sysedge.cfg
As you know, code bases get pretty big pretty quickly with SNMP, so
having one agent type per script also decreases the chances of bugs
and makes it easier to fix bugs when they arise.
So my personal recommendation is to keep the scripts to 1 agent type
per script.
So if I understand you correctly, after you make 1 agent type per
script, you would then write a wrapper script calling multiple
individual scripts for the cases where you want more than one piece of
data? The approach certainly bears consideration, especially since, as
you say, the simpler scripts make debugging easier. I hadn't
originally thought of that approach because I wanted two pieces of
data displayed in nagios: power state and estimated run time, so I
just made one script that gave that data. It might be worth breaking
it down more though. Thanks for the suggestion.
