Cannot get interface speed with standard MIB, use highperf mib (-g)

  • 772

Every hour, my team is receiving an email with the following text : 

Shinken Notification

Notification Type: PROBLEM

Service: NetworkUsage
Host: Monitor
Address: localhost
State: UNKNOWN

Date/Time: 27-09-2016 Additional Info : Cannot get interface speed with standard MIB, use highperf mib (-g) : UNKNOWN

I think I found the server that has the problem (it's the monitoring server, since the address is localhost), but I can't figure out what to do (I'm a developer and know almost nothing about shinken, nagios or SNMP).

I think I'm missing a MIB that should be able to provide some kind of highperf function that would be able.

This is a very old server I don't know where to find / how to install this MIB.

DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=12.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=precise
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS"

How can I provide this method? Alternatively, how can I disable this particular check for this particular host?

    This has nothing to deal with MIB. The message you get means that your interface in question uses 64-bit counters, and those are not enabled by default in check_snmp_int.pl or check_netint.pl.

    As the error message suggests, you should add '-g -2' to check_snmp_int.pl command line definition under commands.cfg.
