Hi there,

I have a new installation of Nagios, Version 3.0.6, running on Ubuntu 8.10. I followed the Quick Start guide for Ubuntu, and everything went swimmingly, installing Nagios, the Plug-ins, Apache, et al. Nagios started up and monitored itself, and following the quick-starts for Linux and Windows, I've been able to get it to monitor all my hosts.

So I'm now trying to get it to monitor a Cisco ASA 5510 VPN. On the ASA, I enabled SNMP, and pointed it to the Nagios machine for reporting.

On the Nagios box, I copied up the switch.cfg, changed the IP address and hostname, etc, following the instructions:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/monitoring-routers.html

Restarting, I see these errors such as this. Posting the error, then the corresponding portion of the switch.cfg:

Inside Interface CRITICAL 05-07-2009 16:54:07 0d 2h 53m 31s 3/3 (Return code of 127 is out of bounds - plugin may be missing)

---
define service{
use generic-service ; Inherit values from a template
        host_name               CCLogan-ASA5510-1
        service_description     Inside Interface
check_command check_snmp!-C public -o ifOperStatus.INSIDE -r 1 -m RFC1213-MIB
        }
---

I changed ifOperStatus.INSIDE from ifOperStatus.1 because an snmpwalk on the device said that's what this port name was, but I can change it back. But googling the error (Return code of 127 ...) seems to indicate I'm missing net-snmp or net-snmp-util, but I'm not sure how to install them -- can't do a rpm -qa on Ubuntu, and I don't know what the corresponding command is with apt-get. But searching the Ubuntu repositories, I can' find an equivalent to net-snmp-util, so I think that's the problem. Snmpwalk works though, so I figure I have something half-working...


The other error I see is:

---

        }

I looked, and /var/lib/mrtg/ didn't exist. Googling, I saw a tip to change it to /var/www/mrtg/, but that directory didn't exist either. I created /var/lib/mrtg/ and chown'd it to nagios:nagios and restarted Nagios, but still nothing. Is there a mrtg config file I need to edit?

Should I check into check_cisco.pl, or does that work better for the huge switches than the itty-bitty 4-porters?

Thanks a heap,
-Mike
