I use CheckMK (CMK) for a while now. I find (if you only want to monitor stuff) zabbix and other tools a bit to complicated. With CMK is do an install of SNMPD on an vm, change a couple of values and voila, add the server to CMK and you can check the device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now i wanted to monitor my personal pc. Same trick: Install SNMPD, change the snmpd.conf file, add the pc to CMK and done! Well not really. One of my mounted disks wasn’t found. I could see it in snmpwalk, but it didn’t register in CMK. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The reason I added an separate disk below an user folder, was simple: My main root disk is an SSD and a lot of not frequently used data (games, scripts etc) can be run from the HDD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well, like I Said, the disk was detected in SNMPwalk, but you didn’t see it in CMK. I thought my issue was in CMK. Not really information was found in CMK. Eventually did a deinstall of SNMPD and did a reainstall with the (debian) package ‘snmp-mibs-downloader’. This package installs a lot of MIB files, so the number system is converted to a more readable entry:
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Without MIB:
.1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.3.66 = STRING: \/home\/USER\/Data<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With MIB:
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageDescr.66 = STRING: \/home\/USER\/Data<\/p>\n\n\n\n
