Custom String Lookup problem

Votes:

0

Hello, I'm trying to monitoring a HA Status in a Check Point appliance using the SNMP Custom String Lookup sensor. Here is my file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <ValueLookup id="oid.checkpoint-ha-status-v1" desiredValue="1" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="PaeValueLookup.xsd"> <Lookups> <SingleInt state="Error" value="0"> Down </SingleInt> <SingleInt state="Ok" value="1"> Active </SingleInt> <SingleInt state="Warning" value="2"> Standby </SingleInt> </Lookups> </ValueLookup>

When I disable the HA, it creates a "down" string, which is found by the oid: 1.3.6.1.4.1.2620.1.5.6.0

The problem is that this sensor is not recognizing the down string and gives me the following error: The lookup "oid.checkpoint-ha-state" does not contain a definition for "down"

The other strings works just fine in the sensor. I also double checked using the common Custom Sensor String and the value is returned correctly.

Any tips?

Thanks.

Hi there,

Is the correct lookup selected? I ask because the ID of lookup is "oid.checkpoint-ha-status-v1" however the error message complains about the lookup "oid.checkpoint-ha-state".

Best regards.

Hello Dariusz,

Thank you! For some reason PRTG was using an old version of the lookup, that was already deleted. I removed everything, made a reload of the lookups and create the file again. Now it is working!
