Dear Forum.
I would like to monitor the CPU usage of my Netgear switches.
I have found the oid for it from the SNMP walk.
.1.3.6.1.4.1.4526.11.1.1.4.9.0 5 Secs ( 70%) 60 Secs ( 80.12231%) 300 Secs ( 80%)
How would I add the 5 Sec value to a check?
I’m completely new to making custom checks and need some guidance.
I’m currently using cmk version 1.5.0p16 Enterprise.
Have a look at https://checkmk.com/cms_legacy_devel_snmpbased.html and the other articles on https://checkmk.com/cms_legacy_documentation.html#devel
This is what i have currently. Witch dose not seem to work
def inventory_netg_cpu(info):
# Debug: lets see how the data we get looks like
print info
return []
def check_netg_cpu(item, params, info):
return (3, "UNKNOWN - not yet implemented")
check_info["netg_cpu"] = {
"check_function" : check_netg_cpu,
"inventory_function" : inventory_netg_cpu,
"service_description" : "NIC %s",
"snmp_info" : ( ".1.3.6.1.4.1.4526.11.1.1.4.9.0", [ "2", "3", "8" ] )
}And i can see the results from the
cmk -vv --oid .1.3.6.1.4.1.4526.11.1.1.4.9.0 --snmpwalk XS716T-switch
Walk on ".1.3.6.1.4.1.4526.11.1.1.4.9.0"...Executing BULKWALK of ".1.3.6.1.4.1.4526.11.1.1.4.9" on Z1P99-SWL01

1 variables.
I need cmk to retrive the 5 Sec value
This is the return of my check, cmk -v --checks netg_cpu -I switchname

return info perhaps ?
From the NETGEAR-SWITCHING-MIB I see this oid relates to agentSwitchCpuProcessTotalUtilization. I am not sure what values you were looking for with 2, 3 and 8.
From memory, try this.
def inventory_netg_cpu(info):
# Debug: lets see how the data we get looks like
import pprint;pprint.pprint(info)
return [ (None, None) ]
def check_netg_cpu(item, params, info):
return (3, "UNKNOWN - not yet implemented")
check_info["netg_cpu"] = {
"inventory_function" : inventory_netg_cpu,
"check_function" : check_netg_cpu,
"service_description" : "CPU Utilization (5 Sec.)",
"snmp_scan_function" : lambda oid: oid(".1.3.6.1.2.1.1.2.0").startswith(".1.3.6.1.4.1.4526.") and \
oid(".1.3.6.1.4.1.4526.11.1.1") != None
"snmp_info" : ( ".1.3.6.1.4.1.4526.11.1.1.4.9", ["0"] )
}
If you run an inventory with that check against your switch it will print the contents of info. You can then undestand how the data is returned and can check it before returning the results.
cmk -v --checks netg_cpu -II XS716T-switch
In the check_netg_cpu function you can then extract the 5 second percentage and return that as the details to the check.
I have managed to make this
def inventory_my_netgear_cpu(info):
pprint.pprint(info)
return []
def check_my_netgear_cpu(item, params, info):
return 3, 'not yet implemented'
check_info['my_netgear_cpu'] = {
'inventory_function': inventory_my_netgear_cpu,
'check_function': check_my_netgear_cpu,
'service_description': 'DESCR',
'snmp_info': ('.1.3.6.1.4.1.4526.11.1.1.4.9', ["0"]),
'snmp_scan_function': lambda oid: True,
}
And that returns:

How would i go about getting the 5 Sec data as an metric?
Hi,
when you will see the result of ino with your pprint function you need the right command for discovery: cmk --debug -vvII … instead of -vv the you will see the result. Otherwise put your pprint in the check function.
Gegards, Christian
If you send me the snmpwalk info I can use it to run tests against on my dev box
cmk --snmpwalk switch1
The data will be stored under the snmpwalks directory at
~/var/check_mk/snmpwalks/switch1

This is my check
def parse_my_netgear_cpu(info):
try:
return float(info[0][0])
except (IndexError, ValueError):
return
def inventory_my_netgear_cpu(parsed):
if parsed:
return [(None, {})]
def check_my_netgear_cpu(item, params, parsed):
if not parsed:
return
return check_cpu_util(parsed, params)
check_info['my_netgear_cpu'] = {
'parse_function': parse_my_netgear_cpu,
'inventory_function': inventory_my_netgear_cpu,
'check_function': check_my_netgear_cpu,
'service_description': 'CPU utilization',
'snmp_info': ('.1.3.6.1.4.1.4526.11.1.1.4', ['9']),
'snmp_scan_function': lambda oid: oid('.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.2.0', '').startswith('.1.3.6.1.4.1.1139'),
'includes': ['cpu_util.include'],
'group': 'cpu_utilization',
}
And when doing the: cmk --debug -vII --checks my_netgear_cpu switch1
I get this result:

[[u' 5 Secs ( 23.2316%) 60 Secs ( 32.3220%) 300 Secs ( 30.4773%)']]
SUCCESS - Found no services, no host labels
How do i parse the result to get the 5 Sec value? (23.2316%)
You need to learn python 
perc5 = info[0][0].strip().split(’(’)[1].split(’)’)[0].replace(’%’,’’)
What is the next step`?
This is the check, how do i get this to be a service?
def inventory_switch_cpu1(info):
perc5 = info[0][0].strip().split("(")[1].split(")")[0].replace("%","")
print perc5
return []
def check_switch_cpu1(item, _no_params, info):
if perc5 < 70:
return 0, "OK - CPU% is " + perc5
else:
return (3, "UNKNOWN - not yet implemented")
check_info["switch_cpu1"] = {
"check_function" : check_switch_cpu1,
"inventory_function" : inventory_switch_cpu1,
'service_description': 'CPU utilization',
"snmp_info" : ( ".1.3.6.1.4.1.4526.11.1.1.4", ["9"] ),
'includes': ['cpu_util.include'],
'group': 'cpu_utilization',
}Look at the links from Robert. You need to write the discovery function (old wording inventory function).
All working now.
I just need a way to apply this to a selection of hosts so that it does not check all my snmp devices
Is there a way to check multiple oid’s?
I have a couple of switches. Do i need to make a check for each or?
Yes, this is possible to check multiple OIDs. Please look in the given checks as example.
What might be the problem here?
def inventory_switchcpu(info):
data = str(info).split("(")[1].split(")")[0].strip()
tp = tuple(data)
tp1 = tuple("1")
return (1, tp)
def check_switchcpu(item, parms, info):
data = str(info).split("(")[1].split(")")[0].strip()
if data < 75.0:
return (0, "OK - CPU @ " + data)
elif data > 95.0:
return (2, "CRIT - CPU @ " + data)
else:
return (1, "WARN - CPU @ " + data)
check_info['switchcpu'] = {
'inventory_function' : inventory_switchcpu,
'check_function' : check_switchcpu,

'snmp_scan_function' : lambda oid: True,
'includes': ['cpu_util.include'],
'group': 'cpu_utilization',
}The script has been remade.
switchcpu_default_levels = (80.0, 90.0)
def check_switchcpu(item, params, info):
data = (info).split("(")[1].split(")")[0].strip().replace("%","")
util = float(data)
infotext = "CPU utilization" + str(util)
warn, crit = params
perfdata = [("util", util, warn, crit, 0, 100)]
if util >= crit:
return (2, infotext + " (critical at %d%%)" % crit, perfdata)
elif util >= warn:
return (1, infotext + " (warning at %d%%)" % warn, perfdata)
else:
return (0, infotext, perfdata)
check_info['switchcpu'] = {
'check_function' : check_switchcpu,
'inventory_function' : lambda info: [(None, "switchcpu_default_levels")],
'service_description' : 'CPU utilization',

'snmp_scan_function' : lambda oid: True,
"group" : "cpu_utilization",
"has_perfdata" : True,
}
With this i get an error in the web panel.
All of my problems has been resolved, posting the final script here.
