You will need first to check the SNMP OID’s with your systems (see the UPS tutorial ) and enable on CCM hosts the SNMP string and checks. All the checks that I have done for this tutorial are from the file CISCO-CCM-MIB.my

Step 1: check the SNMP service activation on you’re devices and activate-it if is disabled:

If you have access to the command line here’s how for CCM express edition you need to access the terminal and do:

· enable

· config terminal

· snmp-server community xxxxxx RO

· snmp-server community xxxxxx RW

· exit

· write memory

More details here: http://www.ciscosystems.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucme/mib/reference/guide/ccme_mib.html

For the CCM you will need to check the start of the SNMP service:

· Choose Start > Settings > Control Panel.

· Double-click Administrative Tools.

· Double-click Services.

· Right-click SNMP Service.

· From the toolbar, choose Start Service.

To configure the SNMP service go to Cisco Unified Serviceability:

· Click the SNMP menu and select the appropriate version of SNMP to your network (here we are going to use the version 1).

· Once there, select a server and search the configuration (yes, click the find button)

· Add a new SNMP community string by clicking the add new button.

· Complete the required fields (community string name, click accept SNMP packets from only these hosts – your Nagios sever – and set the community string to ReadOnly) and click ok.

More details here: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/service/5_0_1/ccmsrva/sasrvact.html
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/service/5_0_1/ccmsrva/sasnmpv1.html

Now you should now have an active SNMP service on your machine (CCME or CCM).

Step 2. The declaration of the CCM hosts.

The default host configuration is:

define host{

use CCM-host

host_name CCM001

alias Cisco Call manager 6

address 192.168.1.1

}

Here the CCM-host is a template that can be declared as you wish. I have put all the hosts in the group Cisco-VoIP-callmangers so we will make the check with this target.

And now the service declaration:

}

define service{

use CCM-service

hostgroup_name Cisco-VoIP-callmangers

service_description Last event

check_command check_snmp!-C snmp-server_read_community_string -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.232.9.2.3.2.1.4.115

}

define service{

use CCM-service

hostgroup_name Cisco-VoIP-callmangers

service_description Up Time

check_command check_snmp!-o .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0 -C snmp-server_read_community_string

icon_image time_server5.png

}

define service{

use generic-info

hostgroup_name Cisco-VoIP-callmangers

service_description CCM Version

check_command check_snmp!-C snmp-server_read_community_string -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.156.1.1.2.1.4.1 -l “CCM Version: “

}

define service{

use generic-info

hostgroup_name Cisco-VoIP-callmangers

service_description System description

check_command check_snmp!-o .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0 -C snmp-server_read_community_string -l “System description: “

}

And here is the final view in Nagios:

For older models (older then version 6) this are the OID’s that I have found on the net (I don’t know if they are working but you can try and drop me a comment):

· for incoming calls .1.3.6.1.2.1.10.20.1.3.3.1.1.1

· for outgoing calls .1.3.6.1.2.1.10.20.1.3.3.1.3.1

· Registered phones: .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.156.1.5.5.0

· Unregistered Phones: .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.156.1.5.6.0

· Rejected Phones: .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.156.1.5.7.0

· Active Phones: .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.156.1.5.1

· Inactive Phones: .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.156.1.5.2
