SNMP Monitor Configuration Guidelines

For each OID that you monitor, define custom monitoring rules in the configuration file.

The configuration file is located at:

• SecurePlatform: /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
• Gaia: /etc/snmp/snmpmonitor.conf

These parameters are required for each monitoring rule:

• The OID to monitor.
• A comparison operator: one of !=, <, >, ==.
• A threshold value: either an integer (not enclosed within double quotes "") or a string (enclosed within double quotes).
• A polling interval (in seconds).
• A message (For example, "HA sync link 1 down", "Internet VLAN down", "Low REAL memory").

General monitoring rule guidelines:

• You must enclose string values in double quotes.
• Single quotes can be used inside string values.
• Lines that start with the '#' character are ignored.
• All lines that do not start with snmp monitor daemon commands are ignored.

To configure SNMP Monitoring

1. In Expert mode, create or open the configuration file with a text editor.
2. Add monitoring rules to the file as necessary.

   Make sure that you include at least one trap2sink command.

3. Save the file.

Run snmp service enable
