Hello, I've got a number of very simple things that I'd like to monitor via snmp, just because the infrastructure is already there and I monitor/graph a number of other things via snmp.
What I'm looking at right now are some qmail queue values (deferals, errors, etc.). I have a script that outputs some values and writes them out to a file. In snmpd.conf I have something like this: exec .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.9100.1 QmailQueue1 /usr/local/adm/bin/qm-stat-cat.sh 1 exec .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.9100.2 QmailQueue2 /usr/local/adm/bin/qm-stat-cat.sh 2 exec .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.9100.3 QmailQueue3 /usr/local/adm/bin/qm-stat-cat.sh 3 It does work, but I'm totally lost on how to make sure these values, which are always integers are reported as such. I spent many days puzzling over why mrtg just gave me empty graphs even though I was able to poll it: toolbox[~]# snmpwalk -v1 -c foo h07 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.9100.1.101.8 UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.9100.1.101.8 = STRING: "0" Turns out that mrtg (and nagios, and probably other stuff) does not like to see the "STRING" type. What am I missing here? How does the exec method decide whether the returned value is a string or integer? OTOH, the "pass" method also looks interesting. Does anyone know of a link to a simple demo script made for "pass"? I didn't see much about it in the net-snmp wiki.
