Client hosts

Post by 2dogs »

Hi,

My Cacti is working fine for localhost. I am running the default settings from SuSE 9.3. What should I do to monitor the others hosts? What should I install on client hosts? I added some hosts but the graphics are empty.

Thanks,
Dan

Install and configure SNMP on the other hosts, then add them to Cacti and create graphs.

Thanks,

You mean snmpconf or just edit the /etc/snmpd.conf?

Hi

I always prefer to edit /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf directly :

Code: Select all

rocommunity public

disk /
disk /home
disk /usr
disk /var

/etc/snmpd.conf should do. I haven't tested this on a Linux machine myself, but I've already used the net-snmp agent on Windows 2000 and XP, and the only file I had to edit was snmpd.conf.

My /etc/snmpd.conf looks like:
syslocation Server Room
syscontact Sysadmin (root@localhost)
rocommunity public
I did:
snmpd restart
Also the command: snmpwalk localhost -c public -v 1
produce an huge output.
But Cacti show nothing :cry:

Double-check your settings for each device (host template, SNMP version and community string). Then try some Verbose Queries.
