Dell N4000 Stack Status - MIBs for monitoring or other hints
Hi,
We use Nagios XI with the check_powerconnect plugin for monitoring our N4000 switches.
This plugin provides values like general information, fan status, health, power supply status and uptime, not the stack status.
How can we monitor the stack status also? For Cisco switches, a special plugin is available.
In the latest firmeware, a lot of MIB files are implemented. Maybe we can adjust the Cisco plugin with Dell OID's like?
Cisco example:
my $cisco_stack_table = "1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.500.1.2.1.1.1";
my $cisco_stack_state = "1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.500.1.2.1.1.6";
my $cisco_stack_ring = "1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.500.1.1.3.0";
my $cisco_stackport = "1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.500.1.2.2.1.1";
my $cisco_stacksub_table = "1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.276.1.6.1.1.2.14.83.116.97.99.107.83.117.98.45.83.116";
Does anyone have a hint or another solution? Which OID's are needed?
Thanks!

Hi Markus,
the easiest way to monitor the stack status is through traps of which there are several. If you are going to poll information from the system about the stack, then there are also several oids for this information including stackstatus. It is easiest to see these by searching for them using a MIB browser and searching for "stack". The search should also show the various traps available for stacking.
Hope this was helpful.
