This is a plugin for presenting information about Cisco devices with SNMP.

The plugin displays:
hostname, model, IOS version, serial number, snmp location, snmp contact"
A script for presenting information about Cisco devices with SNMP.

The script utputs a string with:
hostname,
model,
IOS version,
serial nr.,
location,
contact"
(The formatting of this string can easily be modified at the bottom of this script).
The string can then be used by some external system or just as information as is.
Logical devices in a stack or cluster configuration will output one row of information per physical device.

This script was wtitten for Op5 in order to populate a database for device inventory consisting of more than 2000 Cisco network devices.


USAGE:
Add this script as a service check in Op5/Nagios for a Cisco device.
Apply the SNMP authentication information as variables to the service.
The check will always return OK, even if the host is down.

The script is a shell script that uses snmpget.
It should be fairly portable.

Since im very new to this all nagios thing, how to i install this? im running Nagios Core 4.1.1 and so far i am able to monitor ping only.
Owner's reply

You need to enable SNMP on your Cisco devices. Either SNMP version 3, 2c or 1.

Then copy this script to your Nagios Core server and add it as a service to your Cisco devices in Nagios.
