Nagios commands definition to interact with a SNMP agent

We recommand to define specific Nagios command to interact with the Java virtual machine MIB.

According to our environement defined above, create the file 'jvm.cfg' in the directory '/etc/nagios-plugins/config' with the following content:

# 'jvm_heapused' command definition
define command{
    command_name    jvm_heapused
    command_line    /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_snmp -H '$HOSTADDRESS$' -p '$ARG1$' -C '$ARG2$' -P '$ARG3$' -o 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.145.3.163.1.1.2.11.0 -w :'$ARG4$' -c :'$ARG5$' -l load
    }

# 'jvm_heapmax' command definition
define command{
    command_name    jvm_heapmax
    command_line    /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_snmp -H '$HOSTADDRESS$' -p '$ARG1$' -C '$ARG2$' -P '$ARG3$' -o 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.145.3.163.1.1.2.13.0 -w :'$ARG4$' -c :'$ARG5$' -l load
    }
