I'm not entirely sure that I want to do this with Nagios.. or that I *should* use Nagios to do it, but this seems the best place to start.
My 3.0 install is about a week old, and I'm slowly adding machines to it. My latest category is my collection of about 25 HP ProCurve switches of various models. I gather an impression that these switches can be set to trap out when ports change state. Some ports -- primarily server and device ports, obviously -- I care about state changes in all the time, and I'd like Nagios to tell me about them. Other ports -- workstations -- I only care when I'm wandering the building, and would like to be able to have something tell me which switch and port are at the other end of the wire I've just unplugged, or into which I've just plugged my handheld tester. I've done a bit o'Googling, and I'm still doing some more, but has anyone done this already, and have suggestions or pointers that might do me some good? Do I want to try to use Nagios to solve the larger problem, since I do want it to solve the smaller one anyway, or do I want to set up some other scripting that also catches the traps, and run it in parallel? And does anyone know if those traps include the MAC address of the rising device, or whether I'm going to have to go poll the MIB? Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
