Monitoring Hikvision DS-2CD2365G1-I Camera Via SNMP with Nagios

deanUncategorized

We can view what MIB/OID information is available to pull via SNMP by running the below command. 


[root@localhost objects]# snmpwalk -c public -v 2c 192.168.1.21 1.3.6.1.4.1

Information we can pull into Nagios via the check_snmp service is shown.

Lets change to our libexec folder to confirm results before adding a new host. 

/usr/local/nagios/libexec

We can run the below command to verify we are getting the correct MIB/OID information. In this example i am requesting information from the enterprises.39165.1.13.0 OID. 

./check_snmp 192.168.1.21 -C public -o .enterprises.39165.1.13.0  -P 1
SNMP OK - IpAddress: 192.168.1.21 |

The IP address of my CCTV camera is verified.

Next we need to define the host lets create a new host in our objects directory. 

/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects


define host {
 use linux-server
 host_name hikvision
 alias Hikvision
 notes Hikvision
 address 192.168.1.21
 }


define service {
 use generic-service
 host_name hikvision
 service_description Ip Address
 check_command check_snmp! -C public -o .enterprises.39165.1.13.0 -P 1
}

We then need to add our host to our nagios.cfg file

/usr/local/nagios/etc/

cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/mikrotik.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/hikvision.cfg

Lets verify our config before restarting nagios to avoid errors. All looks GOOD ! 

[root@localhost objects]# /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

service nagios reload

Lets run a quick status check

Looks like my PI might have a power issue, this may explain why i have had SD card corruption issues

We can see below that the host is up and we are successfully monitoring, our camera.
