Name: Jeremy Address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Product: WhatsUp Gold 5.01 OS: Windows 98 Serial Number for Registered User: X Problem:
I have created a custom service for ifOperStatus=1 (UP) returns True status = UP. If down send alert. Please advise how I can make this work. My manager can see no reason to buy into the latest version if I can't make this work. I have confirmed everything that Mike says below. I have identified all interfaces, selected one I know to be 'up'(Loopback) and checked it with the snmp tool in WUP, Net tools. Great! I get a resturned value of: ifOperStatus.5=1 But when I view the debug log on my custom service I get: ping X returned in 13 ms. 0 Checking SNMP 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.8.5 on X
CHECK UDP 161 on X
<<< EXIT 10004
<<< EXIT 10004CHECK UDP 161 on X
failed!
I have also checked access control lists for port 161; I'm told they are
open.
What does 'failed!' mean ??
Many Thanks

Hello,
Step 1: Confirm the interface you want to monitor by taking a look at the
following mibs:
.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2 ifDescr
.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.3 ifType
.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.5 ifSpeed
By browsing the above mibs, you should be able to figure out which instance
to monitor. You have probably already done this.
Step 2: Decide if you want to monitor incoming or outgoing traffic. We'll
use IfInOctets as you mentioned below.
.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10 represents IfInOctets
.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.5 the .5 represents the interface we want to monitor
Step 3: Do the math. Lets say you want to be notified if traffic averages
over 1 megabit/sec for "the polling interval".
1000000 = 1 million bits/sec
1000000/8 = 125000 octets/sec
We should be using octets as this is what most devices I have run into use
as a counter.
Step 4: Create the service and give it a decent name (e.g. IfInOctets-5)
where -5 is the interface (i.e instance).
Step 5: fill in the blanks:
Object ID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.5
Check it for: Rate of Change in Value ;as we are looking for a delta
Rate of Change: 125000 ;octets in 1megabit/sec
Failing rate is: above ;traffic over 1 megabits on average in a
polling
interval
Test fails when exceeded: 2 ;must occur in two polling intervals prior to
notification
Step 6: apply the service to the icon
If someone has some tips for me, I would appreciate it.
I hope that helps.
