Configuring SNMP Settings

Configure Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) settings for your everRun system to allow SNMP management applications to remotely monitor your systems. (SNMP information pertains only to systems and not individual PMs.) You can enable SNMP requests and SNMP traps:

To specify the desired security parameters, you must edit the standard /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf file on both nodes. For example, to allow SNMP requests by any user using the default public community, comment out or delete the following lines from that file on each node:

com2sec notConfigUser default public
group notConfigGroup v1 notConfigUser
group notConfigGroup v2c notConfigUser
view systemview included .1.3.6.1.2.1.1
view systemview included .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.1
access notConfigGroup "" any noauth exact systemview none none

After you save the edited files, you must restart the snmpd process on each node by entering the following command:

service snmpd restart

Follow the appropriate procedure to enable SNMP requests or traps.

To enable SNMP requests
  1. Click Preferences in the left-hand navigation panel, to open the Preference page.
  2. Under Notification, click SNMP Configuration.
  3. Activate the check box next to Enable SNMP Requests.
  4. Click Save. (Or click Reset to restore the previously-saved values.)
To enable SNMP traps
Note: When you enable or modify the SNMP trap settings, generate a test alert to confirm that traps are received.
  1. Click Preferences in the left-hand navigation panel, to open the Preference page.
  2. Under Notification, click SNMP Configuration.
  3. Activate the check box next to Enable SNMP Traps.
  4. Type the name of the SNMP Community, or keep the default (public).
  5. Next to List of Recipients for SNMP traps, type the IP address or host name for each recipient, one per line.
  6. Click Save. (Or click Reset to restore the previously saved values.)

  7. Configure your organization's firewall to allow SNMP operations, which enables SNMP management systems to receive alerts from and send traps to the everRun system. To do so, configure your organization's firewall to open the SNMP port:

    Message Type: SNMP
    Protocol: SNMP
    Port: 161 (Get/Walk) 162 (Traps)

  8. Generate a test alert by clicking Generate Test Alert.

    The everRun software generates a test alert and SNMP sends traps to recipients of SNMP traps; e-Alerts send a sample email with the subject "Test Alert" to all email recipients of e-Alerts, if configured (see Configuring e-Alerts); and Support Configuration sends a notification to your authorized Stratus service representative, if configured (see Configuring Remote Support Settings). Watch the Alerts History log (see The Alerts Page) for delivery status.
