Well, if you need examples, did you try looking at the Nagios site and/or the Nagios exchange, where they list MANY?
http://www.nagios.com/solutions/snmp-traps
http://exchange.nagios.org/directory...d-HOWTOs/page7
http://xavier.dusart.free.fr/nagios/en/snmptraps.html

Well, I decided to use http://www.norgie.net/tools/check_snmp_disks/, but it seemed to me it needed a few tweaks, so the amended version is attached.

define command{
command_name snmp_load
command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_snmp -H '$HOSTADDRESS$' -C '$ARG1$' -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.5.1,.1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.5.2,.1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.5.3 -w :'$ARG2$',:'$ARG3$',:'$ARG4$' -c :'$ARG5$',:'$ARG6$',:'$ARG7$' -l load
}

Actually I want to make this code work How can I do it Looks complicated for me :) thanx for your replies

That's because it is "new" :) and that will pass.
The information you need is buried in one of these links below, but you will need to acquire the specifics yourself. Pay special attention to values in

Code:

/usr/share/snmp/snmpd.conf

specifically these:

Code:

rwuser  secretpassword  

rouser  secretpassword  

rocommunity  secretpassword xxx.xxx.171.149 

rwcommunity  secretpassword xxx.xxx.171.149 

com2sec paranoid  default  secretpassword

Get away from the check_whatever stuff for the time being and focus on the basics of snmp, such as

Code:

snmpwalk -v 1 -c public IP .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.5.1

snmpwalk -v 1 -c public IP .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.5.2

snmpwalk -v 1 -c public IP .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.5.3

Where IP is the IPA.DDR.ESS of the server you wish to monitor. Do this on Cacti host.
The above commands are NOT part of the Cacti install. The information you seek using snmp can be gathered with or without Cacti.

I found my solution by reading up some of, or all of these...

and please don't get it twisted, just because it says "Zabbix" or "Cacti" or whatever, they are talking about communicating with a remote host using the snmp basics.

We don't use Cacti any further, (unless someone pays for it) in favor of Zabbix for our c9 internal monitoring.

Good Luck.
