1.6.4 Setting up ESA (for Linux)
If the Monitoring Agent is to run on Linux, set the community name and the trap destination for the configuration definition file (/etc/SnmpAgent.d/snmpd.conf). The configuration definition file is stored on the computer on which you installed the agent.
- Organization of this subsection
(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
Open the configuration definition file (/etc/SnmpAgent.d/snmpd.conf).
Search for the following line in the configuration definition file:
get-community-name: public
For the get community name, public is set by default.
Change the get community name.
(Example) get-community-name: private
Search for the following line in the configuration definition file:
#set-community-name: # enter community name
Change the setting as follows:
set-community-name:
On the right side of the label set-community-name:, set the set community name.
(Example) set-community-name: private
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
Open the configuration definition file (/etc/SnmpAgent.d/snmpd.conf).
Search for the following line in the configuration definition file:
#trap-dest: # enter trap destination
Change the setting as follows:
trap-dest:
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
Save the configuration definition file (/etc/SnmpAgent.d/snmpd.conf), and then close it.
Next steps
Next, set up SSO - AP.
