Title: more SNMP fun Post by: mosburn on July 29, 2008, 07:45:37 PM In our lab we are looking at creating an rss feed from snmpdv1 data in order to check the health of some of our servers. We have the code written and working, but it is giving us to much data.
Is there a way to setup a seperate community (call it public2) to get only a specific ammount of data from snmp (Say, only the 1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1.1 string) and block its output from another community (call it public)? As this feed goes through perl scripts to trigger alters and pages I really don't want the information to hit out main NMS causing duplicate pages and the associated headaches of trainig the other administrators what to stop monitoring and so forth. I like knowing that I can leave for a week and they can copy the snmpd.conf file and start the services while our NMS will auto add the host. The fewer steps I have them take the saner I am when I get back to work. Thanks |
