<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Well, I tried installing the
new version. All I get is a message that says: Unsupported architecture:
7F. So I'm guessing it checks the machine before it installs. I am
going to have to try 4.5, again. I tried it once and had a problem with
libraries. I was in the middle of something else so I couldn't really
work the issue.<br>
<br>
I was hoping to get hold of someone that has done SNMP traps in Nagios to see
what the experiences were. From the sounds of things, I'm blazing new
trails for the group. There are SNMP trap plugins for Nagios but there
are a bunch of them and I was hoping someone knew which was better.<br>
<br>
I have a boot disk with everything installed that I downloaded from Dell's
site. I'm going to boot one of the boxes with it and see what it comes up
with for support. There is a possibility of the thing working but I'm not
holding out much hope.<br>
<br>
Cheers! <br>

<br>
According to ?Dell's site OM 4.5 is avaiol for a<br>
server that ancient. but have you even TRIED to<br>
instlal OM-5.2 on the box?<br>
<br>
to monitor by nagios, run snmptrad on a box and have<br>
that log through syslog, and use nagios's syslog<br>
monitor (ugly hack but works). though I think hte new<br>
current version of nagios accepts traps directly.<br>
