Basic Usage
***********
We'll use a basic example to show you how to monitor a system. I have finished the install section and i want to monitor a Linux in SNMP.
First, i need to find the plugin to use in the list:
::
$ perl centreon_plugins.pl --list-plugin | grep -i linux | grep 'PLUGIN'
PLUGIN: os::linux::local::plugin
PLUGIN: os::linux::snmp::plugin
It seems that 'os::linux::snmp::plugin' is the good one. So i verify with the option ``--help`` to be sure:
::
$ perl centreon_plugins.pl --plugin=os::linux::snmp::plugin --help
...
Plugin Description:
Check Linux operating systems in SNMP.
It's exactly what i need. Now i'll the option ``--list-mode`` to know what can i do with it:
::
$ perl centreon_plugins.pl --plugin=os::linux::snmp::plugin --list-mode
...
Modes Available:
processcount
time
list-storages
disk-usage
diskio
uptime
swap
cpu-detailed
load
traffic
cpu
inodes
list-diskspath
list-interfaces
packet-errors
memory
tcpcon
storage
I would like to test the 'load' mode:
::
$ perl centreon_plugins.pl --plugin=os::linux::snmp::plugin --mode=load
UNKNOWN: Missing parameter --hostname.
It's not working because some options are missing. I can have a description of the mode and options with the option ``--help``:
::
$ perl centreon_plugins.pl --plugin=os::linux::snmp::plugin --mode=load --help
Eventually, i have to configure some SNMP options:
::
$ perl centreon_plugins.pl --plugin=os::linux::snmp::plugin --mode=load --hostname=127.0.0.1 --snmp-version=2c --snmp-community=public
OK: Load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 | 'load1'=0.00;;;0; 'load5'=0.00;;;0; 'load15'=0.00;;;0;
I can set threshold with options ``--warning`` and ``--critical``:
::
$ perl centreon_plugins.pl --plugin=os::linux::snmp::plugin --mode=load --hostname=127.0.0.1 --snmp-version=2c --snmp-community=public --warning=1,2,3 --critical=2,3,4
OK: Load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 | 'load1'=0.00;0:1;0:2;0; 'load5'=0.00;0:2;0:3;0; 'load15'=0.00;0:3;0:4;0;

--------------------
What can i monitor ?
--------------------
The option ``--list-plugin`` can be used to get the list of plugins and a short description.
Headers of the table mean:
* Transport: The check has internal options for the transport
* Protocol: what is used to get the monitoring datas
* Experimental: The check is still in development

How can i remove perfdatas ?
----------------------------
For example, i check tcp connections from a linux in SNMP with following command:
::
$ perl centreon_plugins.pl --plugin=os::linux::snmp::plugin --mode=tcpcon --hostname=127.0.0.1 --snmp-version=2c --snmp-community=public
OK: Total connections: 1 | 'total'=1;;;0; 'con_closed'=0;;;0; 'con_closeWait'=0;;;0; ' con_synSent'=0;;;0; 'con_established'=1;;;0; 'con_timeWait'=0;;;0; 'con_lastAck'=0;;;0 ; 'con_listen'=5;;;0; 'con_synReceived'=0;;;0; 'con_finWait1'=0;;;0; 'con_finWait2'=0; ;;0; 'con_closing'=0;;;0;
There are too many perfdatas and i want to keep 'total' perfdata only. I use the option ``--filter-perfdata='total'``:
::
$ perl centreon_plugins.pl --plugin=os::linux::snmp::plugin --mode=tcpcon --hostname=127.0.0.1 --snmp-version=2c --snmp-community=public --filter-perfdata='total'
OK: Total connections: 1 | 'total'=1;;;0;
I can use regexp in ``--filter-perfdata`` option. So, i can exclude perfdata beginning by 'total':
::
$ perl centreon_plugins.pl --plugin=os::linux::snmp::plugin --mode=tcpcon --hostname=127.0.0.1 --snmp-version=2c --snmp-community=public --filter-perfdata='^(?!(total))'
OK: Total connections: 1 | 'con_closed'=0;;;0; 'con_closeWait'=0;;;0; 'con_synSent'=0;;;0; 'con_established'=1;;;0; 'con_timeWait'=0;;;0; 'con_lastAck'=0;;;0; 'con_listen'=5;;;0; 'con_synReceived'=0;;;0; 'con_finWait1'=0;;;0; 'con_finWait2'=0;;;0; 'con_closing'=0;;;0;
------------------------------------------------
How can i set threshold: critical if value < X ?
------------------------------------------------
"centreon-plugins" can manage nagios threshold ranges: https://nagios-plugins.org/doc/guidelines.html#THRESHOLDFORMAT
For example, i want to check that 'crond' is running (if there is less than 1 process, critical). I have two ways:
::
$ perl centreon_plugins.pl --plugin=os::linux::snmp::plugin --mode=processcount --hostname=127.0.0.1 --snmp-version=2c --snmp-community=public --process-name=crond --critical=1:
CRITICAL: Number of current processes running: 0 | 'nbproc'=0;;1:;0;
$ perl centreon_plugins.pl --plugin=os::linux::snmp::plugin --mode=processcount --hostname=127.0.0.1 --snmp-version=2c --snmp-community=public --process-name=crond --critical=@0:0
CRITICAL: Number of current processes running: 0 | 'nbproc'=0;;@0:0;0;
------------------------------------------
How can i check a generic SNMP OID value ?
------------------------------------------
There is a generic SNMP plugin to check it. An example to get 'SysUptime' SNMP OID:
::
$ perl centreon_plugins.pl --plugin=snmp_standard::plugin --mode=numeric-value --oid='.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0' --hostname=127.0.0.1 --snmp-version=2c --snmp-community=public
-------------------------------------------------
How to use memcached server for retention datas ?
-------------------------------------------------
Some plugins need to store datas. Two ways to store it:
* File on a disk (by default)
* Memcached server
To use 'memcached', you must have a memcached server and the CPAN 'Memcached::libmemcached' module installed.
You can set the memcached server with the option ``--memcached``:
::
$ perl centreon_plugins.pl --plugin=os::linux::snmp::plugin --mode=traffic --hostname=127.0.0.1 --snmp-version=2c --snmp-community=public --verbose --skip --skip-speed0 --memcached=127.0.0.1
OK: All traffic are ok | 'traffic_in_lo'=197.40b/s;;;0;10000000 'traffic_out_lo'=197.40b/s;;;0;10000000 'traffic_in_eth0'=14539.11b/s;;;0;1000000000 'traffic_out_eth0'=399.59b/s;;;0;1000000000 'traffic_in_eth1'=13883.82b/s;;;0;1000000000 'traffic_out_eth1'=1688.66b/s;;;0;1000000000
Interface 'lo' Traffic In : 197.40b/s (0.00 %), Out : 197.40b/s (0.00 %)
Interface 'eth0' Traffic In : 14.54Kb/s (0.00 %), Out : 399.59b/s (0.00 %)
Interface 'eth1' Traffic In : 13.88Kb/s (0.00 %), Out : 1.69Kb/s (0.00 %)
.. tip::
Local file is used if the memcached server is not responding.
------------------------------------
What does ``--dyn-mode`` option do ?
------------------------------------
With the option, you can used a mode with a plugin. It commonly used for database checks.
For example, i have an application which stores some monitoring information on a database. The developer can use another plugin to create the check (no need to do the SQL connections,... It saves time):
::
$ perl centreon_plugins.pl --plugin=database::mysql::plugin --dyn-mode=apps::centreon::mysql::mode::pollerdelay --host=10.30.3.75 --username='test' --password='testpw' --verbose
OK: All poller delay for last update are ok | 'delay_Central'=2s;0:300;0:600;0; 'delay_Poller-Engine'=2s;0:300;0:600;0;
Delay for last update of Central is 2 seconds
Delay for last update of Poller-Engine is 2 seconds
.. warning::
A mode using the following system must notice it (in the help description). So you should open the file with an editor and read at the end the description.
------------------------------------
How can i check the plugin version ?
------------------------------------
You can check the version of plugins and modes with option ``--version``:
::
$ perl centreon_plugins.pl --plugin=os::linux::snmp::plugin --version
Plugin Version: 0.1
$ perl centreon_plugins.pl --plugin=os::linux::snmp::plugin --mode=storage --version
Mode Version: 1.0
You can also use the option ``--mode-version`` to execute the mode only if there is the good version.
For example, we want to execute the mode only if the version >= 2.x:
::
$ perl centreon_plugins.pl --plugin=os::linux::snmp::plugin --mode=storage --hostname=127.0.0.1 --snmp-version=2c --snmp-community=public --verbose --mode-version='2.x'
UNKNOWN: Not good version for plugin mode. Excepted at least: 2.x. Get: 1.0

Troubleshooting
***************
----
SNMP
----
I get the SNMP error: 'UNKNOWN:.* (tooBig).*'
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The following error can happened with some equipments.
You can resolve it if you set following options:
* ``--subsetleef=20`` ``--maxrepetitions=20``
I get the SNMP error: 'UNKNOWN:.*Timeout'
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The following error means:
* Don't have network access to the target SNMP Server (a firewall can block UDP 161)
* Wrong SNMP community name or SNMP version set
I get the SNMP error: 'UNKNOWN:.*Cant get a single value'
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The following error means: SNMP access is working but you can't retrieve SNMP values.
Very possible reasons:
* SNMP value is not set yet (can be happened when a snmp server is just started)
* SNMP value is not implemented by the constructor
* SNMP value is set on a specific Firmware or OS
Seems that process check is not working well for some arguments filter
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
In SNMP, there is a limit in argument length of 128 characters.
So, if you try to filter with an argument after 128 characters, it won't work. It can happen with java arguments.
To solve the problem, you should prefer a NRPE check.
Can't access in SNMP v3
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
First, you need to validate SNMP v3 connection with snmpwalk. When it's working, you set SNMP v3 options in command line.
The mapping between 'snmpwalk' options and centreon plugin options:
* -a => ``--authprotocol``
* -A => ``--authpassphrase``
* -u => ``--snmp-username``
* -x => ``--privprotocol``
* -X => ``--privpassphrase``
* -l => not needed (automatic)
* -e => ``--securityengineid``
* -E => ``--contextengineid``

I use an option but it doesn't seem to work
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Before opening a ticket on the forge, please use the option ``--sanity-options``. It checks if you have misspell an option:
::
$ perl centreon_plugins.pl --plugin=os::linux::snmp::plugin --mode=traffic --hostname=127.0.0.1 --snmp-version=2c --snmp-community=public --interface='.*' --name --regex --verbose --skip --skip-speed0 --sanity-options
Unknown option: regex
I get the error: "UNKNOWN: Need to specify '--custommode'."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Some plugins need to set the option ``--custommode``. You can know the value to set with the option ``--list-custommode``. An example::
$ perl centreon_plugins.pl --plugin=storage::ibm::DS3000::cli::plugin --list-custommode
...
Custom Modes Available:
smcli
$ perl centreon_plugins.pl --plugin=storage::ibm::DS3000::cli::plugin --custommode=smcli --list-mode
I get the error: "UNKNOWN: Cannot write statefile .*"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You must create the directory (with write permissions) to let the plugin stores some datas on disk.
I get the error: "UNKNOWN: Cannot load module 'xxx'."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The problem can be:
* A prerequisite cpan module is missing. You need to install it
* The cpan module cannot be loaded because of its path. Perl modules must be installed on some specific paths
I can't see help messages
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"centreon-plugins" files must unix format (no windows carriage returns). You can change it with the following command:
::
$ find . -name "*.p[ml]" -type f -exec dos2unix \{\} \;
.. Warning:: Execute the command in "centreon-plugins" directory.
