xMC virtual applicance

treese — Mon, 07 Oct 2019 21:35:49 GMT

Can this virtual appliance be configured for snmp? I would like to add our monitoring tools to manage the xMC via SNMP.

Thank you

Ted,

AFAIK XMC doens't run an SNMP agent = you can't query from another SNMP mgmt.

Is ping monitoring the best we can do to see the health?

This got me to the place where to add snmpv3. Our solarwinds is set for v2 but added the v3 but not getting anywhere yet. I appreciate the info James. Can I use V2c instead of snmpv3? Thank you

Generic snmp agent is running on XMC by default (if XMC was installed as VM or from ISO).

It is standard linux SNMPd => just modify the /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf and restart the snmp service by

service snmpd restart

good luck

I’m not very good with finding files in Linux and I’m not finding /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf. I do find /usr/postinstall/snmpconfig

How to edit files in Linux:

nano /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
vi /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
vim /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf

Personaly I find nano as the most easy.

Some “windows” people use WinSCP and edit the file through this Windows application.
