I have a need to add a new ICON (green, red, yellow, blue, etc.) to the existing icons for a network device.
I also need to alert on the change of colors of the icon.
I am using a MIB check to verify that a device (in a set of HA devices) is the current one using the virtual IP address.
I can tell from my scripting that the device has switched to the other of the HA pair.
(A Juniper SSL-VPN pair).
I will be using NET-SNMP on the XYMON server to gather the info using a crontab script.
I need to create and change an ICON next to the device. E.g. HA
If HA for that device goes from GREEN(active server) to RED(now inactive server) notify.
The same for a return to being the GREEN active server.
I saw something about 6 months ago on setting an ICON to a color but have not been able to find it again.
I must also be searching on the incorrect strings in the archive.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom Schmitt

Hello Tom,
I am using a MIB check to verify that a device (in a set of HA devices) is the current one using the virtual IP address.
I can tell from my scripting that the device has switched to the other of the HA pair.
(A Juniper SSL-VPN pair).
I will be using NET-SNMP on the XYMON server to gather the info using a crontab script.
Which MIB variable (OID) can be used to determine which device is the one using the virtual IP address?

Hope this helps!
FYI: I found that the Primary server has all the information if you do an snmpbulkwalk -v2c -c public IP-of-server1 or 2 .1 >FILENAME The size of the file is very large for the online server compared to the offline server. I did the command above for both servers and then did a diff of the 2 files. I then looked for the Virtual IP address using: grep -I "<virtual-IP>" *
If you find a better alternative, please let me know.
I currently use the Juniper .cgi web page in the Xymon bb-hosts line to verify that there is a response. Both return the identical screen so you cannot tell which is online from this testing.
This is what I am looking to do and then I want to toggle RED/YELLOW/GREEN icons on the same Xymon display line. The only device that seems to have the virtual IP address in the MIB is the live device.
STRING=public # Set to your RO string #----------------------------------
Loop through each Juniper SSL-VPN
#----------------------------------
for IP in IP-of-server1 IP-of-server2
do
#--------------------------------------
# Get the sysName - either IVE1 or IVE2
#--------------------------------------
NAME=/usr/bin/snmpget -v2c -c $STRING $IP SNMPv2-MIB::sysName.0 2>&1 | \ awk -F'=' '{print $2}' | \ awk -F':' '{print $2}'
#-------------------------------------------------------------
# Get the ipAdEntAddr - <Virtual-IP> or 'No Such Instance ...'
#-------------------------------------------------------------
VIRT=`/usr/bin/snmpget -v2c -c $STRING $IP
IP-MIB::ipAdEntAddr.<Virtual-IP> 2>&1 |
awk -F'=' '{print $2}'
|
awk -F':' '{print $2}'`
if [ "$VIRT" = "" ]; then
VIRT=" off-line"
fi
echo -e "IP: $IP NAME: $NAME Virtual IP: $VIRT"
done
Thanks,

FYI, there are already templates for some Juniper devices in devmon, and there are also some examples of HA monitoring (in cisco-pix, redhat-cluster etc.
You may want to consider doing this in devmon ...
