Add load balancer status in SNMP
0%
Description
Hi,
Is it possible to add an OID entry to get the status of the wan load balancer in SNMP? Eg: WAN1 on/offline, OPT on/offline.
At the moment the only way to receive an email alert etc if a wan connection drops is by setting up a trigger on an 3th party monitor server that pings the same gateway as pfsense ping's. Not an ideal solution.
Thanks!

If there is, it won't be trivial to do. We use bsnmpd, and last I looked it did not support an exec call for custom OIDs.
There are some patches for bsnmpd to support tailing a file and doing a regex for events in the file, but I don't know if that would play nice with our log format.

Just a note for when we come back around to this later:
Looks like we might be able to do this with the bsnmp-ucd module which supports external commands.
It's in /usr/ports/net-mgmt/bsnmp-ucd

It is also necessary to add a text inside snmpd web configuration field where you can add customs commands, or something to include one (or more) files.
ie:
--
begemotSnmpdModulePath."ucd" = "/usr/local/lib/snmp_ucd.so"
%ucd
extNames.0 = "process total"
extCommand.0 = "/usr/local/bin/cacti_ps.sh total"
[...]
--
so you can add all external commands you want.
look the attached patch.
this is for mine system, sanity check should be made (something like if(!file readable) and so on).
i think btw that a textbox inside the web interface is easiest to understand.
also look at:

Those who want to do this can set it up using the NET-SNMP package and custom extended commands.
