Description

Monitor RPM ping status via SNMP

Symptoms

When using RPM probes, need to check results on the SNMP server.



Solution

The following OID returns the status of the ping.


Name: jnxPingResultsStatus

OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.3.7.1.3.1.20

Description: The result of the most recent probe.

Syntax: OperationResponseStatus

responseReceived(1)

unknown(2)

internalError(3)

requestTimedOut(4)

unknownDestinationAddress(5)

noRouteToTarget(6)

interfaceInactiveToTarget(7)

arpFailure(8)

maxConcurrentLimitReached(9)

unableToResolveDnsName(10)

invalidHostAddress(11)



When the ping works returns a responseReceived(1)


user@switch> show snmp mib walk 1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.3.7.1.3.1.20

jnxPingResultsStatus.8.73.67.77.80.84.69.83.84.4.73.67.77.80 = 1




On the server should look like this;


root@server# snmpwalk -v 2c -c public 10.85.156.190 1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.3.7.1.3.1.20

iso.3.6.1.4.1.2636.3.7.1.3.1.20.8.73.67.77.80.84.69.83.84.4.73.67.77.80 = INTEGER: 1





When the ping fails, we may see a requestTimedOut(4).

jnxPingResultsStatus.8.73.67.77.80.84.69.83.84.4.73.67.77.80 = 4
