SNMP and eventLogDateName

[Mark Baxter]

Hi all.

 

I'm implementing some SNMP checks in Nagios for all my PowerEdge servers. I'm thinking of having the latest eventLogRecord along with the eventLogDateName and eventLogSeverityStatus. So I am using these OIDs for my checks:

 

.1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1.300.40.1.5.1.1   (eventLogRecord.1.1)

.1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1.300.40.1.7.1.1   (eventLogSeverityStatus.1.1)

.1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1.300.40.1.8.1.1   (eventLogDateName.1.1)

 

These checks are working fine for eventLogRecord and eventLogDateName on the R300 I am testing on, but I have a problem with eventLogDateName. Basically there is no .1.1 entry, the latest being .1.4.

 

I am guessing that this means that the first four entries have the same date/time, however unlikely that may be, which leaves me asking what is the best way to get the most recent event's eventLogDateTime? If there exists a .1.1 then snmptget will return it, however if there is no .1.1 then I guess I need to use snmptgetnext. However, if there is a .1.1 snmpgetnext seems to return the .1.2 entry. 

 

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I should solve this? I am trying to do it using the check_snmp included with the Nagios Plugins package.

 

Regards,

 

Mark Baxter
