ReadyNas & Spiceworks

Old man lol, Thankyou.

Well I bit the bullet and installed it again. I'm getting the issues you mention. My shares as displayed in Spiceworks for the RN-Ultra are showing 154% free space which is obviously out of whack. Also, while it correctly detects memory amount (RAM) and linux version, nothing can be gathered about installed software and the CPU type is listed as "unknown". I've tried both the "root" account and the "admin" account as credentials too.

SNMP config:

Public Community Name: public
Trap Destination: (Used host-name as a pose to IP address)
Hosts allowed access: 192.168.0.0/24

What is puzzling is the fact that some information is passed along fine, while other information is missing / incorrect. Hopefully someone on this forum uses SpiceWorks who has a NAS that natively supports SNMP. Then at least we can tell if the problem lies with the add-on or the NAS itself.

Thanks for the tips by the way, my computers are now being recognized properly. So happy days on that front at least.

:)

Ah-ha, so it's not just me. Well that is good at least, and as with your reporting, my nas reports a negative 100 and something free space figure as well as unknown CPU.

Chirpa did take some interest a while back but i guess he's busy (perhaps working on a magic formular for me - we can hope).

You now see what i mean, neither Admin (the web one, which i doubt would work anyway) and the root with rootssh enabled do not gather any further information, and in my case, gathered less than SNMP alone.

I have tried this both on an Ultra 6 and an NV+

Now as stated, both device has in-built disk/space monitors and are configured to email with notifications, which works perfectly fine. But it would be a nice bonus to have Spiceworks read the information correctly - however that may be, but possibly not requiring root.

I have posted the same issue on the SW forum and a member claimed root was essential, but as we have both witnessed, this is not true.

That lead me here to ask the same question.

So far the results are the same, but as above Chirpa did take away some more information than the SW members and i am sure he is ferretting away somewhere with magic dust and sprinkles figuring this out for me (now us).

I had thought that the addon might be the issue, but having tried root, which uses SSH to query the device i would guess not. But i am no Linux expert so i am not going to say it is, just 'guess not'

Glad to have helped on the SW/W7 issue, i'm sure you will now get back in to SW and see what it can do for you.

I understand this is an old post, and i was not the only one who had seen this issue, but i wanted to post a note to inform others and clarify the situation as it stands today.


As of Beta Version 6.0.00581


SpiceWorks identifies both my ReadyNas NV+ and Ultra6 perfectly, without any changes on my part, i am still using SNMP as i had originally hoped to and i can confirm this version is working for what i wanted.

Those who are unable to get the Beta, at least you know now this works in 6

For those who are interested, the press release for Spiceworks 6 is here: http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/2 ... ledge-base

There is a link to the Beta II download at the foot of the article. Thanks for remembering me and the PM ukmagic!
