1.6.4 Setting up ESA (for Linux)

(1) Setting the community name

The community name is a password for accessing the MIB object by using the SNMP protocol. To collect resources, you need to match the get community names of the Monitoring Agent and the Monitoring Manager. To monitor processes and services, you need to match the set community names of the Monitoring Agent and the Monitoring Manager.

Procedure

1. Open the configuration definition file (/etc/SnmpAgent.d/snmpd.conf).

2. Search for the following line in the configuration definition file:

   get-community-name: public

   For the get community name, public is set by default.

3. Change the get community name.

   (Example) get-community-name: private

4. Search for the following line in the configuration definition file:

   #set-community-name: # enter community name

5. Change the setting as follows:

   set-community-name:

6. On the right side of the label set-community-name:, set the set community name.

   (Example) set-community-name: private

7. Save the configuration definition file (/etc/SnmpAgent.d/snmpd.conf), and then close it.

(2) Setting the trap destination

The trap destination determines where SNMP traps should be sent, and is used to check the manager that receives Monitoring Agent traps. If you want to send traps to the Monitoring Manager, you need to use the Monitoring Agent to set the trap destination.

Procedure

1. Open the configuration definition file (/etc/SnmpAgent.d/snmpd.conf).

2. Search for the following line in the configuration definition file:

   #trap-dest: # enter trap destination

3. Change the setting as follows:

   trap-dest:

4. On the right side of the label trap-dest:, enter the host name or IP address of the manager to which the Monitoring Agent sends traps.

   (Example) trap-dest: 15.2.113.223

5. Save the configuration definition file (/etc/SnmpAgent.d/snmpd.conf), and then close it.
