I'd like to monitor a Red-Hat Linux server over SNMP using the 'Linux Platform' connector.
I installed net-snmp on the sever and enabled it. It seems that only the standard SNMP parameters (Location, Description, ...) are available when performing an SNMP walk.
What settings are needed on the Linux server/net-snmp to also make available the parameters to monitor CPU, memory, task manager, disk, ...? Are there specific settings needed in the snmpd.conf file perhaps?
Hi Jochen,
Since you are using Net-SNMP as SNMP agent, metrics from the operating system are listed under the MIB file UCD-SNMP-MIB (1.3.6.1.4.1.2021).
For example, if you would like to enable the CPU and memory utilization, the following lines should be added to the snmpd.conf:
# Memory utilization
view systemonly included .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.4
# CPU utilization
view systemonly included .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11
Additional information about how to configure this file can be found in the below link:
Keep in mind that you will need to restart the snmpd service whenever there is an update on this file
