VMware Cacti den izleme hk.

Merhabalar;

 

VMware 4.1 vcenter ve 3 tane de esx sunucuya sahibiz.Bu sunucuları Cacti Monitoring toolumuzda izlemek istiyoruz.Cacti tarafında device eklediğim zaman esx hostlarımı görebiliyorum ama grafiğe birşey dökülmüyor.Esx hostlarım snmp servislerini yeniden başlatmak istediğim de de service not found diyor.Büyük ihtimal esx sunucularımda snmpd servisi config edilmemis ve başlatılmamıs.Bu konuda nasıl yardımcı olabilirsiniz?

 

Internettte böyle bir makale bulmuştum.Bu yolumu izlemeliyim?

 

Configure SNMP on ESX4 for Cacti

This is a tiny little guide to make an ESX4 host work with Cacti,
basically make ESX4 host answer SNMP requests and include data from
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB into the output.

There will only be a SNMP v1 / v2 available with a "public"
community with read only access. For a more enhanced SNMP configuration
you might want to check net-snmp documentation. The Net-SNMP agent comes
with a perl script to aid with configuration. This script, snmpconf,
helps configure some of the basic configuration options offered by
snmpd.

Use 'snmpconf -r none -g basic_setup' to create a snmp.conf with a more enhanced configuration interactively.

Most of the information is taken from http://knowledgebase.solarwinds.com/kb/questions/1340/Enabling+SNMP+on+VMware+ESX%7B47%7DESXi+Server+version+4 - basically the same source as mentioned some posts above.

Here we go:

Get root access to the ESX host's console (for SSH access you will need to enable root ssh access first).

Make sure SNMP is not running

# service snmpd stop

Create backup copy of /etc/vmware/snmp.xml

# cp /etc/vmware/snmp.xml /etc/vmware/snmp.xml.original

Edit snmp.xml

# nano /etc/vmware/snmp.xml

Create backup copy of /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
# cp /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf.original

The
original snmpd.conf is pretty large and filld up with commenst and
information we do not need here. So it is easier to delete it and create
a new file from scratch.

Delete snmpd.conf
# rm /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf

Create new snmpd.conf
# nano /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf

Restart the mgmt-vmware service

# service mgmt-vmware restart

Start the SNMP service

# service snmpd start

Make SNMP start automatically on host reboot

# chkconfig snmpd on

Allow SNMP through the ESX Server firewall

# esxcfg-firewall -e snmpd

Testing

# snmpwalk -v1 -c public localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1.6876 -> should show some EXS specific data

# snmpwalk -v1 -c public localhost .1.3.6.1.2.1.25 -> should show lots of HOST-RESOURCES-MIB data but not only some few lines
