Monitoring Cisco asa firewall problem when updated monitoring server

If you don’t have the tools run
yum -y install net-snmp net-snmp-utils

Today I finally made it work!!!

As it turns out there are things called mibs, specifically Cisco mibs.
These are like little drivers as far as my knowledge goes.

Nagios does not have the code to understand Cisco Hardware on its own, but you need these mibs.

They are available to download from various places on the internet but I copied them from the old server.

With these MIBS in place nagios monitors the ASA and stack just fine!

Nice one!

Took me a little while to get my head around MIB’S and OID’s. And now we’re switching from SNMP to streaming telemetry :man_facepalming: I guess that’s what to expect from working in technology.

Anyway… glad you got it all working :slight_smile:

@zakpatat I am glad you were able to finally get everything to work correctly. I thought it was something as simple as a missing driver, that was the reason I suggested contacting Cisco and let them know what you were trying to do and what you did to the system. You just learned an important lesson, document everything you do so when you mess something up and need help someone else can figure out what happened and fix it.
