Monitoring EXOS stack members via PRTG?

ksaelens — Thu, 28 Mar 2019 20:13:33 GMT

Hello,
I'm attempting to track down a means of monitoring the status and/or health of Extreme switches in a stack. I recently had a non-master switch in a stack fail to boot back up after I upgraded the EXOS version of the stack and I didn't catch this until school started the next day. The stacks throughout our district are combinations of X440, X450-G2 and X460-G2 switches.

I found the following thread but I can't for the life of me find the entry Henrique mentions in said switches' MIBs via Paessler MIB Importer V3 for PRTG.

Thank you in advance for any and all assistance!

If you have imported the EXTREME-STACKING-MIB you can use the following

code:

extremeStackMemberOperStatus=1.3.6.1.4.1.1916.1.33.2.1.3

The following are the three states:

code:

extremeStackMemberOperStatus OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX Integer {
up(1),
down(2),
mismatch(3) }

The operational status of the stack member. When the stack
comes up, if there is a vector mismatch namely license mismatch or
platform mismatch between the master and the member, the member
remains in the mismatch state. Further communication with the member
is not possible

I hope this answers your question

Thank you for the reply, Kawawa.
After giving it a few days I reimported the MIBs and I was able to find the exact entry you mentioned. Please see the screenshot below.

Have a great weekend!
