[collectd] monitoring via SNMP

[Mark Steele]

Hi all,

I'm trying to monitor an F5 load balancer and I'm having a bit of
difficulty in wrapping my head around the right approach to do this.

Here's what my configuration looks like:

  <Data "lb_pool_member_monitor_state">
    Type "gauge"
    Table true
    Instance "F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmPoolName"
    Values "F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmPoolMemberMonitorState"
  </Data>

   <Host "1.2.3.4">
       Address "1.2.3.4"
       Version 2
       Community "public"
       Collect "lb_pool_member_monitor_state"
       Interval 60
   </Host>

# snmpbulkwalk -v2c -m ALL -c public 1.2.3.4
F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmPoolMbrStatusEnabledState
F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmPoolMbrStatusEnabledState."POOLNAME1".ipv4."1.2.3.5".80
= INTEGER: enabled(1)
F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmPoolMbrStatusEnabledState."POOLNAME1".ipv4."1.2.3.6".80
= INTEGER: enabled(1)
F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmPoolMbrStatusEnabledState."POOLNAME2".ipv4."1.2.3.7".80
= INTEGER: enabled(1)
F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmPoolMbrStatusEnabledState."POOLNAME2".ipv4."1.2.3.8".80
= INTEGER: enabled(1)

Currently, with this config collectd is complaining about
collectd[8482]: snmp plugin: I don't know the ASN type "130" (OID:
SNMP-VIEW-BASED-ACM-MIB::vacmViewTreeFamilyStatus."anonymousView002".1.1)

So my question to you all, is this the correct approach? If not, what would
be?

Does collectd load all MIBs? Do I need to specify the MIBs somehow? Do I
have to use the numerical OIDs? Any insight would be very helpful.

Thanks,
