5 Configuring and Monitoring SNMP Generic Servers Chapter 1 Configuring and Monitoring SNMP Generic Servers The tests pertaining to the SNMP Generic server have been designed to monitor any host that supports the Host Resources MIB (RFC 2790) using SNMP. This chapter explains the steps involved in configuring and monitoring SNMP Generic servers. 1.1 Administering the eg Manager to work with an SNMP Generic Server To achieve the above, do the following: 1. Log into the eg administrative interface. 2. Since the eg Enterprise suite does not automatically discover the SNMP Generic servers in an environment, add the component manually using the ADD/MODIFY COMPONENTS page (Infrastructure -> Components -> Add/Modify). Remember that components manually added are managed automatically. Discovered components, however, are managed using the COMPONENTS - MANAGE/UNMANAGE page. Figure 1.1 illustrates the process of adding the SNMP Generic server. For more details on managing components, refer to Configuring and Monitorinfg Web Servers document. 1

6 Configuring and Monitoring SNMP Generic Servers Figure 1.1: Adding an SNMP Generic server 3. SNMP Generic servers are by default monitored in an agentless manner. Accordingly, the Agentless flag in Figure 1.1 is set to Yes by default. To perform agentless monitoring of the SNMP Generic server, select Other as the OS and SNMP as the Mode in Figure 1.1. Then, select a Remote agent and click the Add button to manage the server. 4. Next, try to sign out of the eg administrative interface. 5. A LIST OF UNCONFIGURED TESTS listing the tests requiring manual configuration, will appear (see Figure 1.2). Figure 1.2: The list of unconfigured tests of the SNMP Generic server 6. Configure the Host System test, Host Processes test and Network Interfaces test one after another, using the guidelines mentioned in the Configuring and Monitoring AS400 Servers document. 7. Once all configurations are complete, signout of the administrative interface. 1.2 Monitoring the SNMP Generic Server To monitor the SNMP Generic server, do the following: 1. Login as a monitor / supermonitor user. 2. Click on the Components option in the menu bar, and select the Servers option from the Components menu. 3. From the COMPONENT LIST page, click on the SNMP Generic server being monitored. 2

7 Conclusion Chapter 2 Conclusion This document has described in detail the steps for configuring and monitoring the SNMP Generic Servers. For details of how to administer and use the eg Enterprise suite of products, refer to the user manuals. We will be adding new measurement capabilities into the future versions of the eg Enterprise suite. If you can identify new capabilities that you would like us to incorporate in the eg Enterprise suite of products, please contact support@eginnovations.com. We look forward to your support and cooperation. Any feedback regarding this manual or any other aspects of the eg Enterprise suite can be forwarded to feedback@eginnovations.com. 3
