This plugin uses the bulk-get to get the enviroment state of cisco network equipment. It supports SNMP version 2c and 3.
In order to compile this plugin you will need the NET SNMP Development package (libsnmp-dev under Debian) and the standard compilation tools (make, a C compiler like gcc or clang).
Executing
make
should then produce an executable called check_cisco_health.
All runtime dependencies (shared objects) can be retrieved via ldd check_cisco_health.
Most notable is libnetsnmp, which can be install under Debian with the package libsnmp.
Apart from that, the executable can be placed in a directory of personal choice, for example:
install -m755 check_cisco_health /usr/lib/nagios/plugins
or
install -m755 check_cisco_health /usr/local/bin
SNMPv2c:
check_cisco_health -h <hostname> -c <community> [-t <timeout>]
SNMPv3:
check_cisco_health -h <hostname> -u <user> [-j (SHA|MD5) -J <auth phrase> -k (AES|DES) -K <priv phrase> -t <timeout>]
Options:
-h address of device
-c community of the device with read permissions
-j SNMPv3 Auth Protocol (SHA|MD5)
-J SNMPv3 Auth Phrase
-k SNMPv3 Privacy Protocol (AES|DES)
-K SNMPv3 Privacy Phrase
-u SNMPv3 User
-t sets the timeout (in ms)
