10.23. Monitoring System Objects via SNMP

You can monitor Virtuozzo Hybrid Server objects via the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The implementation conforms to the same Structure of Management Information (SMI) rules as the data in the standard SNMP context: all objects are organized in a tree; each object identifier (OID) is a series of integers corresponding to tree nodes and separated by dots.

General information:

  • The OID of the root subtree with all the objects you can monitor is 1.3.6.1.4.1.26171.1.1.

  • The VIRTUOZZO-RMOND-SMI.txt information base file is required to monitor the objects. Its default location is /usr/share/snmp/mibs.

The following subsections describe ways to enable and use SNMP to monitor cluster objects.

10.23.1. Enabling SNMP Access

To enable SNMP access on a hardware node, do the following:

  1. Install the rmond package.

    # yum install rmond
    
  2. If you have a Virtuozzo Storage cluster, add the following lines to the /etc/snmp/snmpd.local.conf file:

    rwcommunity pdrs 127.0.0.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.26171
    rwcommunity pdrs <IP_network/subnet_mask> .1.3.6.1.4.1.26171
    

    Where <IP_network> is the Virtuozzo Storage cluster network and <subnet_mask> covers all the nodes participating in the cluster.

  3. Make sure the snmpd service is running.

10.23.2. Accessing System Objects via SNMP

You can access Virtuozzo Hybrid Server objects with SNMP tools of your choice, e.g., the free Net-SNMP suite for Linux. For example, to display information on the node, do as follows:

  1. Install the net-snmp-utils package:

    # yum install net-snmp-utils
    
  2. Run the following snmpwalk command:

    # snmpwalk -m /usr/share/snmp/mibs/VIRTUOZZO-RMOND-SMI.txt -c public -v2c 127.0.0.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.26171.1.1
    

Typical output may be the following:
