Icinga2 for network monitoring (SNMP)

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Hi.

I am a trainee in a small ISP that provides internet access to more than 400 clients.

Currently we are undertaking a big move (migrating all the configuration files from Nagios to Icinga2).

So I figured it would be pretty awesome to add a few extra snippets. Namely, remote monitoring of client signal strength and several other features that could be monitored using SNMP.


So far, I have been able to make Icinga2 accept the oid’s with adding this little service to the conf files:

apply Service for (identifier => oid in host.vars.oids) {
  check_command = "snmp"
  display_name = identifier
  vars.snmp_oid = oid
}

In my host objects i am using the following config:

object Host "MikroExample" {
	import "mikrotik-host"
	address = "10.10.80.60"
	vars.os = "RouterOS"
	vars.model = "mikrotik_station"
	vars.link = "ether"
	vars.oids["signal"] = ".1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.1.2.1.3.204.250.0.172.121.143.6"
	vars.oids["txccq"] = ".1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.1.3.1.10.204.250.0.172.121.143.6"
	vars.oids["txccq-nomac"] = ".1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.1.3.1.10"
	vars.oids["RouterOSVersion"] = ".1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.4.4.0"
	vars.oids["Model"] = ".1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0"
}

The “204.250.0.172.121.143.6” is the MAC address of the given router.

However, when applying this and looking at the results in Icinga-web i get the following error on the TXCCQ part:

Reason: (noSuchName) There is no such variable name in this MIB.
Failed object: iso.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.1.3.1.10.204.250.0.172.121.143.6

Reason: (noSuchName) There is no such variable name in this MIB.
Failed object: iso.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.1.3.1.10

Thing is, using this oid: .1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.1.3.1.10 (TXCCQ) without the MAC address added, in the MibBrowser and connecting to the router, i get good results:

mtxrWlApOverallTxCCQ.6 98

Also, another problem is the signal oid. Because right now it is only showing me ONE signal. How could I access both Rx/Tx?

Hi, Did you managed to add the router to the icinga2 ? I am facing couple of challenges in configuring the router to icinga2.. for the initial setup do I need to make any configuration settings at router level ? If so have can you suggest for the cisco router 2900 ?
