Hi guys,
I guess my first mail didn't make it there.
Anyway here it goes,
My name is Paulus, and I am a beginner user of Argus. I would like to
know whether someone can help me with argus monitoring capabilities for
HDD space and CPU usage. I have read that Argus can actually use SNMP to
get the data about the CPU usage and HDD space, but when I tried to use
it, Argus keep giving me a red sign.
Here is the code that I use for that:
Service UDP/SNMP {
oid: .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.3.1.6.1
maxvalue: .8
label: HDD1
retries: 5
}
and the result is:
name: UDP/SNMP
status: down
note: ---
hostname: ---
port: 161
SNMP oid: .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.3.1.6.1
I have turned on the service for SNMP on that machine by using
add/remove Windows component on Windows 2000. Basically I use Argus for
monitoring systems such as Linux FC3, Windows 2000, and Windows XP. So
far, I only use Argus to do a simple ping and also DICOM ping for some
of the servers.
I was just wondering whether anyone can help me by providing sample
codes for each operating system ( Win 2000, Win XP, and UNIX box). Most
of the machine here that I use are DELL machines, i don't know whether
that will make a difference on the OID or not.
Thank you very much for your help,
