I am kind of new and I want to add new device

[islam]

Hello,
I am trying to add new device to my cacti which is installed in local machine (my windows) and I want to monitor my server online which is a vps server I added device but I am getting message System SNMP error - SNMP::get(): No response from IP should I install something on my remote device first to get the data from that device

[islam]

the question is how to get data from remote server using what cacti-Spine for example or should I install snmp on the remote server

In the current Cacti, it's going to be SNMP or WMI. Unfortunately, Microsoft has damaged WMI to the extent that it's unusable from Linux machines, and therefore I've lost interest in WMI/WEBEM/CIM implementations more broadly.

I have been working on a Telegraf extension that would allow your Windows boxes to stream data to Cacti, but I've been pee-occupied on all the minor issues in Cacti and it's plugins. The good thing is we edge nearer and nearer to the newest release as we are running out of bugs to fix.

So, to your question, yes, you need to install Windows or Net-SNMP's SNMP agent, and use it for collecting data. Don't forget to enable it on the Windows firewall, and don't be surprised if a Microsoft update comes along and disables the open port from time to time. Mind you Microsoft has also stopped enhancing their SNMP protocol for almost 20 years. It still works fine as it's really a simple thing, but things like 64bit support, they refuse to add.

[islam]

yes but the device I am monitoring is linux and the device cacti installed is windows still the same

Well make sure that snmpget is working or snmpwalk is working from the command line before you start adding devices until you're comfortable.

Change your snmpd.conf to a one line entry of:

rocommunity public

Then restart snmpd on the host.
