Our IT department at Priceless Granite have been using MonitorMagic for the last six months and have found MonitorMagic to be a "must have" tool. The ability to remotely monitor and manage servers from our remote locations has saved many man-hours and sleepless nights. The escalation alarm option allows us to monitor Event Logs and services while escalating alarms to the proper IT staff member. On...
Linux servers feature an SNMP agent that can provide powerful and vital hardware status information. Use MonitorMagic to monitor for performance and stability loss on your Linux servers. See installation notes, policy features and download link below.
Linux SNMP - How To Install?
To install a policy, download a policy by clicking on the version link in the policy table below. Make sure the file is saved to a .mpf file on your local hard disk. Start the MonitorMagic client and select the "Local Monitor Policies" branch in the "Policies" tab of the network browse window. Navigate to the "Policy" menu and click "Import policies...". Select the downloaded policy file and click OK. The new policy is now available in the MonitorMagic client policy tree.
Linux SNMP - How To Configure?
Each SNMP monitor needs a valid IP address, community specification and Object Identifier. Our policies already contain the Object Identifiers and default community <public>. To configure the policy, modify each SNMP monitor and point the IP-address to the Linux server. You can test each monitor by using the "Get" button when editing the SNMP get monitor.
Also, make sure the snmpd daemon is running on the linux server and that the snmpd.conf contains the correct permissions, otherwise some parts of the Linux SNMP policy mail fail.
Linux SNMP - How To Run?
Within the MonitorMagic client, connect to a running MonitorMagic service that has a pingable network connection to the Linux server. Drag-and-drop the Linux SNMP policy onto the open MonitorMagic service window to start monitoring.
