The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

This section explain how to configure SNMP service on Linux systems in order to monitoring and collect detailed information about the server.

Requirements:

• Check that SNMP service is installed.

The command to install SNMP changes depending on distribution; Debian, RedHat, Centos, Solaris, for this reason we recommend to search the Internet for the correct command to install the service.

Debian/Ubuntu:

apt-get -y install snmpd

RedHad/Centos/Fedora:

yum -y install net-snmp net-snmp-utils

Once the installation is complete, make a copy of your original file and proceed with the configuration.

vim /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf

Specify the listening interface of server for the snmp service.

Enter the community name and SGBox ip address.

Save changes and restart the SNMP service.

Debian/Ubuntu:

service snmpd restart

RedHad/Centos/Fedora:

service snmpd restart
