QNAP SNMP monitoring - not working?

[Josh_1234]

Hi there,

I am struggling to get SNMP monitoring working properly within Nagios.

Reading through some old threads in the forums it seems that others were having issues with SNMP also.

Can someone advise how they are monitoring things such as, HDD temp, fan speeds, cpu usage, memory usage etc through SNMP?

Plenty of misunderstanding caused by the fact QNAP uses a lot of text based MIB variables.

okay so I managed to find the right one after quite some time for uptime:
check_snmp!-C public -o .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.1.0


but I am still struggling to get anything else.

I found out how to report the interfaces - but it only reports that it has an interface called Eth1 or 0 but not whether or not that interface is down.

Also I am looking for the right oids to be able to monitor the following things:
CPU average load (or just current load)
memory usage (physical)
Individual checks for each HDD and their status.


Anyone have these oids?

Do you have any documentation on the kind of items I want to monitor?

What I found links up with what you said. I can find the "parent" OID for certain items (like eth interfaces) but it seems to be missing "something" to make it then check to see if that interface "eth1" is up or down.

Thanks

okay got no where with support:

I emailed QNAP support and they told me:

hi Josh

how on earth is it a security concern for me to be able to monitor my infrastructure?

And what was the question?

Network link changes are to be captured from SNMP traps in my opinion. For a static reading, what about the RFC1213-MIB iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.intefaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifOperStatus.[number] ?

Well I've manged to figure it out now.

I can now successfully monitor the following items:

HDD Smart Status
HDD Temp
System Temp
CPU Temp
Free Memory

And surprisingly no one has hacked into my NAS as support suggested they might!

[Josh_1234]

For anyone looking for the oids for the following items:

Free Memory: .1.3.6.1.4.1.24681.1.2.3.0
CPU Temperature: .1.3.6.1.4.1.24681.1.2.5.0
HDD Temperature: 1.3.6.1.4.1.24681.1.2.11.1.3.1 (.3.1 is for drive one .3.1 for drive 2 etc etc)
HDD SMART Status: 1.3.6.1.4.1.24681.1.2.11.1.7.1 (again just change the end digit for a different drive.)
System Temperature: .1.3.6.1.4.1.24681.1.2.6.0
Uptime: .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.1.0

Not that difficult to find with the help of a MIB browser and the NAS-MIB file (available for download from the NAS SNMP config page) loaded, agree?

not difficult at all...but took me a while to find it all.
