This plugin is for monitoring the status of a Network interface using SNMP.
It will check if the interface is up, down or administratively down and generate an alert based on that.
Here are the instructions to update the plugin.
Download the check_snmp_interface_status.zip attached to the ticket and upload it to the system you want to install the plugin on.
The server may need to have development packages installed in the server.
For Centos / RHEL, these need to be installed.
yum install net-snmp-devel
yum install openssl-devel
For Ubuntu / Debian, these need to be installed.
apt-get install libssl-dev
apt-get install libsnmp-dev
apt-get install snmp-mibs-downloader
Upload the zip file to the server and extract it by running.
unzip check_snmp_interface_status.zip
Change the folder by running.
cd check_snmp_interface_status
To compile the plugin run the following.
make clean
make
To install the plugin (Default location is /usr/local/nagios/libexec) run the following.
make install
Make a backup of the Perl plugin.
cp /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ifoperstatus /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ifoperstatus.bak
Overwrite the Perl script with the C version.
cp /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_snmp_interface_status /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ifoperstatus
At this point, the new plugin will be used.
FYI, the plugin may be reverted back to the perl version if you upgrade XI to a newer version.
Here is the help menu for the plugin showing the arguments is uses.
