I have a perl script that measures the CPU I/O wait time among other CPU related issues and I can run the command with the appropriate switches from the command line in Nagios and it works perfectly. It has been a while since I built this server however. How do I get this into a host or service statement to be monitored? I need all the steps I am afraid.
Here is the command:
./check_snmp_load.pl -v 1 -H 172.xx.xx.xx -C public -w 60% -c 75% -T netsc
Entering this at the command line returns the following:
Alarm at 15 + 5
SNMP v1 login
Checking OID : 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.11.0
OID returned 99
CPU used 1.0% (<60) : OK
This is against a test box with snmp enabled. I can do snmpwalks against the targets and they work . So what do I do with the command statement now to get Nagios to use it? I have Nagios pinging 300 or so boxes and that is all I ever figured out how to do - couple of other smaller things, but now I really need this in a hurry. Please help Asap.
THanks
