Monitor SonicWall TZ-210 with Nagios using SNMP
SonicWall uses a custom written Linux OS called SonicWall Enhanced
Enabling SNMP in
From nagios you can monitor the following without any setup involved from SonicWall
TO MONITOR SONICWALL FROM NAGIOS USING SNMP
1. Enable SNMP on SonicWall on all network interfaces
2. Download mibs from >>> http://www.plixer.com/support/mib_resources.php
3. TEST from Nagios
snmpwalk -v1 -c public xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ---> to view response from device
YOU DO NEED!
You DO need the IP address of the system/software that’s monitoring the SNMP does have to be entered on the SNMP configuration page.
You DO need the checkbox on the network interface page does have to have SNMP checked.
You DO NOT need to create a firewall rule allowing SNMP traffic from LAN to LAN on the firewall. When it’s configured correctly, it auto-creates one that you can’t change.
You DO have to use the SonicWALL MIBs that are specific to each model of firewall.

New Nagios Installation - Steps
PLANNING
Plan your Nagios setup
1. What do you need to monitor?
2. What do you want to monitor?
3. Make a quick sketch to layout your monitoring-scheme (trust me it helps with the initial nagios setup) a Logical Network layout helps define the Nagios groups)
INSTALLATION
Install Ubuntu
Install Nagios following the link (below)

Nagios start & verify
Start Nagios
/etc/rc.d/init.d/nagios startManually: You can start the Nagios daemon manually with the -d command line option like so:
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

Nagios installation
Install Ubuntu with LAMP & postfix & Build essentials
Now we will restart Apache to make sure all of the changes take effect:
Once you have saved your changes to the contacts.cfg we need to verify that there are no errors in the configuration of Nagios.
Now we are going to start nagios:
Now we are going to set the map that will change your outbound messages from nagios to your email server username/email address.
Once your system has come back up you will be able to login to the website and look at your first Nagios installation.
Nagios User Setup
useradd -m -s /bin/bash nagios
passwd nagios
usermod -G nagios nagios
groupadd nagcmd
usermod -a -G nagcmd nagios
Download And Unzip Nagios And Nagios Plugins
cd /downloads
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/nagios/nagios-3.2.3.tar.gz
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/nagiosplug/nagios-plugins-1.4.15.tar.gz
tar -zxf /downloads/nagios-3.2.3.tar.gz
tar -zxf /downloads/nagios-plugins-1.4.15.tar.gz
Install Nagios
cd /downloads/nagios-3.2.3
./configure --with-command-group=nagcmd
make all
make install
make install-init
make install-config
make install-commandmode
make install-webconf
Nagios Password
This is the password you will need to look at the nagios pages. If you install Nagios to a different directory please change this command to where the Nagios etc. folder will be.
htpasswd -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users nagiosadmin
Enter your password when prompted.
Now we will restart Apache to make sure all of the changes take effect:
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Nagios Plugins
cd /downloads/nagios-plugins-1.4.15/
make
make install
Now we need to make Nagios start at bootup:
ln -s /etc/init.d/nagios /etc/rcS.d/S99nagios
Change Default Email Address For Nagios Admin
Open your favorite editor and open /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/contacts.cfgOnce you have saved your changes to the contacts.cfg we need to verify that there are no errors in the configuration of Nagios.
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
/etc/init.d/nagios start
Postfix Configuration For A Smarthost Relay
postconf -e 'relayhost=yourmailserver.com'
postconf -e 'smtp_sasl_auth_enabled = yes'
postconf -e 'smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd'
postconf -e 'smtp_sasl_security_options ='
echo "yourmailserver.com emailusername:emailpassword" >
/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
Now we will need to change the password file attributes so only root has access to read it.
chown root:root /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
chmod 600 /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
postmap /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
echo "nagios mailusername@yourmailserver.com" /etc/postfix/canonical
echo "canonical_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/canonical" >>
/etc/postfix/main.cf
postmap /etc/postfix/canonical
/etc/init.d/postfix restart
Now that
this all has been completed you can restart your system.Once your system has come back up you will be able to login to the website and look at your first Nagios installation.

Nagios - Check Backup Exec
****************************************************************
* check_be - Nagios plugin for Symantec BackupExec for Windows *
* by Toussaint OTTAVI (t.ottavi@medi.fr) *
****************************************************************
This is a windows executable, to be run on Windows servers where BackupExec
is installed. It will process all the job history files, find the most recent
occurrence of a specified job name, then it will return the current status of
this job. It can also return a 'warning' or 'critical' status if the last job
found is older than the specified amount of days.
1/ HOW TO USE THIS SOFTWARE
---------------------------
Run check_be.exe in a Windows console, with the following syntax :
check_be "path of XML files" "Name of the backup job"
- "Path of XML files" is the location where BackupExec puts its log files in
XML format. Default locations for these files are :
v10: c:\program files\veritas\backup exec\nt\data
v12: c:\Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec\Data
- "Name of the backup job log" is the name of the job you want to check. It's
case independant.
Possible switches are :
-h : Shows brief syntax help
-d : Writes detailed debug information. This can help determining what's wrong
in case of any problem.
-c<n> : Return 'critical' state if the last occurrence of the job is older
than <n> days. This can help to determine if a scheduled job is
disabled, locked, paused, or any other reason.
-w<n> : Same, but for 'warning' state
Example of use :
check_be "c:\Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec\Data" "My tape backup" -w1 -c3
Return states are :
'ok' for BackupExec status 2 and 19
'critical' for BackupExec status 0,1,6,7 and 21
'warning' for any other BackupExec status
'unknown' if it can not determine the BackupExec job status, for any reason.
2/ HOW TO USE IT WITH NAGIOS
----------------------------
2.1/ ON THE MONITORED SERVER
You should have nsclient++ installed. In your 'nsc.ini' file, you must declare
an external script like this:
[NRPE Handlers]
;# COMMAND DEFINITIONS
check_be=check_be.exe "c:\program files\veritas\backup exec\nt\data\" "JobName" -w1 -c3
2.2. ON THE NAGIOS SERVER
Define a service template :
define service{
name template-backupexec
use generic-service
service_description BackupExec Job Check ; default display name in Nagios
check_command check_nrpe!-c check_be ; same name as in the nsclient++ nsc.ini command definition
normal_check_interval 60 ; your check intervals here
retry_check_interval 60
register 0 ; this is a template
}
Then, in your object definition, add the following :
define service {
use template-backupexec
service_description BackupExec - Daily DAT backup ; specific display name, if you need
host_name MYHOST
}

-d : Writes detailed debug information. This can help determining what's wrong
in case of any problem.
-c<n> : Return 'critical' state if the last occurrence of the job is older
than <n> days. This can help to determine if a scheduled job is
disabled, locked, paused, or any other reason.
-w<n> : Same, but for 'warning' state
Example of use :
check_be "c:\Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec\Data" "My tape backup" -w1 -c3
Return states are :
'ok' for BackupExec status 2 and 19
'critical' for BackupExec status 0,1,6,7 and 21
'warning' for any other BackupExec status
'unknown' if it can not determine the BackupExec job status, for any reason.
2/ HOW TO USE IT WITH NAGIOS
----------------------------
2.1/ ON THE MONITORED SERVER
You should have nsclient++ installed. In your 'nsc.ini' file, you must declare
an external script like this:
[NRPE Handlers]
;# COMMAND DEFINITIONS
check_be=check_be.exe "c:\program files\veritas\backup exec\nt\data\" "JobName" -w1 -c3
2.2. ON THE NAGIOS SERVER
Define a service template :
define service{
name template-backupexec
use generic-service
service_description BackupExec Job Check ; default display name in Nagios
check_command check_nrpe!-c check_be ; same name as in the nsclient++ nsc.ini command definition
normal_check_interval 60 ; your check intervals here
retry_check_interval 60
register 0 ; this is a template
}
Then, in your object definition, add the following :
define service {
use template-backupexec
service_description BackupExec - Daily DAT backup ; specific display name, if you need
host_name MYHOST
}
