SNMP
The SNMP Collector is used to allow CloudWisdom to monitor the performance of SNMP-enabled devices using a set of specified OIDs. The collector can gather data from as many devices as necessary by adding additional configuration sections under the [devices] header.
Prerequisites
You should have SNMP set-up and your community string ready prior to activating the SNMP collector.
Configure
Navigate to the collectors folder,
/opt/netuitive-agent/conf/collectors
.Open the SNMPCollector.conf file.
Change the enabled setting to
True
.Change the my-identification-for-this-host header to the name of the host you want to monitor.
Under the [[[oids]]] section, add additional
OID-metric pairs
list as necessary for the metrics you want CloudWisdom to collect.Save the configuration file and restart the Linux Agent.
