Cisco HSRP state monitor using PRTG

Here is a post which describes how to monitor HSRP state using PRTG network monitor.

Add SNMP custom (see this post for screenshots: http://www.madari.co.il/2014/04/prtg-monitors-pps-on-cisco-routers.html) with the following SNMP OID:

1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.106.1.2.1.1.15.1.1

The sensor will retrieve integer value which will represent the state of the HSRP group.

And the result:

As we can see the router returns the value “6” which means that he is in active state, a value of “5” will indicate that he is in standby state.

Here is the SNMP object information taken from Cisco SNMP Object Navigator:
