[Check_mk (english)] Check_MK and HP-Proliant_Raid SNMP

Gizzi_Peter · February 16, 2016, 7:50pm

I’ve gotten a couple of responses to my first request for some insight into getting check_mk to pick up SNMP for failing HP raid but not any closer to making it happen.

Right now I am using check_cciss and check_hpasm but do not want to use this method going forward – simply want to capture SNMP into check_mk itself. As I mentioned, I have hp_health, hp_snmp_agents, etc. installed and when I go to save
and test in check_mk, I am seeing nothing in SNMP being picked up for these alerts.

I configured snmp correctly, have prerequisite packages and even installed all HP MIBs…can someone point me as to what I’ve neglected in getting this to work?

Many thanks,

Pete

Hi Peter,

I have been following your thread loosely, since last Thursday, I believe. I may have missed it, but I don’t see what troubleshooting steps you have done.

Also, if I misunderstood you please forgive me, but in a previous post, you said you are “…trying to receive SNMP from hosts ”. I wanted to clarify, are you wanting SNMP traps,
or are we talking about SNMP polling here? They each work a little differently so I wanted to be clear.

If we are talking about polling, have you tried doing an SNMP walk from the command line?

Thanks,

Hi Peter,

Can you try to fetch the following OID - 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.3.2.3.1.1
If you get no table back then your server don’t provide the correct raid data with SNMP.

Best regards
Andreas

Ed_Byrne · February 17, 2016, 4:15pm

I haven't seen this mentioned in the thread yet. Did you enable SNMP for the host? In WATO, it should be set to SNMP, or Check_MK Agent + SNMP if you want to be able to still use the CMK agent and receive the SNMP data for the HP health checks. Without WATO, you should have snmp|tcp|tcp+snmp in the hosts's flags.

One thing to note if you are doing Agent+SNMP is you will get some redundant checks. I disabled the redundant SNMP checks for all hosts with the following config snippet:

ignored_checks = [
( [ "hr_fs", "hr_mem", "if64", "lnx_thermal", "snmp_info", "snmp_uptime", "ucd_cpu_load", "ucd_cpu_util" ], [ "snmp-tcp" ], ALL_HOSTS)
]

One other thing possibly worth noting: if you have a dedicated iLO IP, you can monitor that separately via SNMP directly (if SNMP is enabled in iLO). By default it will talk to the HP SNMP daemons installed on the host's OS, but if you have a G8 or newer you can disable SNMP passthrough and monitor it via SNMP without the host OS being involved. You can even uninstall the HP SNMP daemons if you go this route. The downside is then you have two separate hosts being monitored in CMK, one for the OS and one for the hardware.

Thanks Sketch.

I AM going into WATO and setting the host to dual check. I am not seeing any additional checks when I select test. I can hit every host with snmpwalk and get info on the OID I need.

This is very frustrating because it's prolly something very simple that has been missed as to why I cannot see the additional checks come up.

MarsellusWallace · February 17, 2016, 4:25pm

Hi Peter,

Your won’t see new services on the test page as that’s only to test if agent and/or SNMP access works. In WATO you’ve either to go to a host’s service discovery page or doing a bulk discovery to get the services detected. Alternatively execute ‘check_mk -Ivvvvv AFFECTEDHOSTNAME’ in terminal to watch out for new services. Don’t forget to reload or restart after new services got added to activate them.

Regards,
Marcel

Thanks Sketch.

I AM going into WATO and setting the host to dual check. I am not seeing any additional checks when I select test. I can hit every host with snmpwalk and get info on the OID I need.

This is very frustrating because it’s prolly something very simple that has been missed as to why I cannot see the additional checks come up.

I haven’t seen this mentioned in the thread yet. Did you enable SNMP for the host? In WATO, it should be set to SNMP, or Check_MK Agent + SNMP if you want to be able to still use the CMK agent and receive the SNMP data for the HP health checks. Without WATO,
you should have snmp|tcp|tcp+snmp in the hosts’s flags.

One thing to note if you are doing Agent+SNMP is you will get some redundant checks. I disabled the redundant SNMP checks for all hosts with the following config snippet:

ignored_checks = [
( [ “hr_fs”, “hr_mem”, “if64”, “lnx_thermal”, “snmp_info”, “snmp_uptime”, “ucd_cpu_load”, “ucd_cpu_util” ], [ “snmp-tcp” ], ALL_HOSTS) ]

One other thing possibly worth noting: if you have a dedicated iLO IP, you can monitor that separately via SNMP directly (if SNMP is enabled in iLO).
By default it will talk to the HP SNMP daemons installed on the host’s OS, but if you have a G8 or newer you can disable SNMP passthrough and monitor it via SNMP without the host OS being involved. You can even uninstall the HP SNMP daemons if you go this
route. The downside is then you have two separate hosts being monitored in CMK, one for the OS and one for the hardware.

Which HP hardware is it?

I’ve gotten a couple of responses to my first request for some insight into getting check_mk to pick up SNMP for failing HP raid but not any closer to making it happen.

Right now I am using check_cciss and check_hpasm but do not want to use this method going forward – simply want to capture SNMP into check_mk itself. As I mentioned, I have hp_health, hp_snmp_agents, etc. installed and when I go to save
and test in check_mk, I am seeing nothing in SNMP being picked up for these alerts.

I configured snmp correctly, have prerequisite packages and even installed all HP MIBs…can someone point me as to what I’ve neglected in getting this to work?

Many thanks,

Pete
