Hi Dojo,

I want to monitor my Linux Cassandra and Elastic nodes. After comparing connectors Linux Platform, Linux Platform SSH and Linux Platform SNMP with each other I have the impression that Linux Platform SNMP will give me the most data that I need.

For security reasons I’ll create a Linux user with minimum rights for monitoring. Which rights are at least needed for the Linux Platform SNMP connector?

I had to do something similar today and followed this guide: https://www.xmodulo.com/configure-snmpv3-ubuntu-centos-cisco.html

net-snmp-config --create-snmpv3-user -ro -A snmpv3pass snmpv3user

For monitoring purposes, read-only SNMP access should suffice. More specifically by specifying the -ro parameter.
