Nagios xi 5.4.7 and Cisco C9500 bandwidth monitor

Post by CSOST »

Hello all

I have Nagios 5.4.7 that monitor network equipment, we added new cisco switch C9500 to the network and we used the SNMP wizard to add the info from the cisco .

seems that Nagios open new services to read the bandwidth from the cisco switch but currently all of them show 0 MB
Check_command : check_xi_service_mrtgraf

Commandview : $USER1$/check_rrdtraf -f /var/lib/mrtg/$ARG1$ -w $ARG2$ -c $ARG3$ -l $ARG4$

and for $1ARG1 : 192.168.20.67_1.rrd
$arg2$ 500.0,500.0
$ARG3$ 800.0,800.0
$ARG4$ M

most of the ports are 25 GB port and some are 1 GB for managment, but none of them send any bandwidth info , what is the best way or plugin to read the bandwidth info from new cisco switces to nagios xi ?

thank you

You added them with Configure > Configuration Wizards > Network / Switch Router wizard, correct?

Please debug via this KB article:

https://support.nagios.com/kb/article/n ... hs-29.html

You'll need to wait 15 or so for data to start showing up once they've been added.

What is the output of these commands?

Code: Select all

ls -ld /var/lib/mrtg
ls -l /var/lib/mrtg

Please run these commands:

Code: Select all

chown -R apache.nagios /var/lib/mrtg
chmod -R 775 /var/lib/mrtg
Then wait 15 minutes and see if they are not working.
