Icinga2 - SNMP solution

Hello,

Is there any solution coming up in Icinga2 Core which will have SNMP trap receiver/monitoring integrated?

We have Zenoss 4.2.5 for snmp trap receiver, transform etc and looking for an alternate solution.

What are our options and what other Open source solutions people out there use for SNMP?

Thanks!

Hi!

Is there any solution coming up in Icinga2 Core which will have SNMP trap receiver/monitoring integrated?

You can use existing snmp trap solutions and embed it into Icinga 2. For a customer I once had to do such a setup using snmptt. This is basically a daemon listening for the traps and when a trap arrives, an event is triggered. This event then sends the “passive check” to Icinga2 (back then with the command feature enabled, should probably use the REST API nowadays).

other Open source solutions people out there use for SNMP?

If ever possible, I personally prefer active checks over passive checks. I’ve made good experiences with check_nwc_health for all kinds of network devices/appliances.

Here are already some threads where this is discussed. e.g

We use Logstash to handle SNMP Traps und put them into Icinga2.

There is also a newly created module for SNMP traps:
