Plan for XYMON and SNMP

Also, a xymond_client process needs to be fired up to parse the data coming
from the SNMP collector:

[clientdata-snmp]
       ENVFILE /usr/lib/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg
       NEEDS xymond
       CMD xymond_channel --channel=client
--log=$XYMONSERVERLOGS/clientdata-snmp.log xymond_client
--collectors=snmpcollect

Not sure what that will give you. The OIDs are extracted from the file
snmpmibs.conf, and I expect you'll have to populate that with anything you
want to monitor.

One thing I forgot to mention is that you need to create a task to run the
xymon-snmpcollect program every 5 minutes. I created a
tasks.d/xymon-snmpcollect.cfg file containing the following:

[snmpcollect]
        ENVFILE $XYMONHOME/etc/xymonserver.cfg
        CMD $XYMONHOME/ext/xymon-snmpcollect --debug
        LOGFILE $XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymon-snmpcollect.log
        INTERVAL 5m

Obviously the --debug flag can be removed.

Just thinking aloud... Since the build uses net-snmp, it should use the
same mibs net-snmp uses... So xymon will know about my SmartUPS and
poweredge.

I'm gonna have to study the code some more

Right you are. DOSNMP is set to "yes" as a result of SNMP being set to

1 (and the Net-SNMP tools being found).

    Yes, I did Jeremy.  My apologies.


No problem.

    I did figure out I have to export SNMP=1 then configure and
rebuild


Ah, I didn't know that. Or I forgot that.

Just looking at the code now - are you sure this isn't "DOSNMP=1"?

    The Makefile tests for if  $SNMP=1...  At least in 4.3.28

    What is the tag in the hosts file (if any)?


Nothing. The hostnames are found by xymon-snmpcollect in the
snmphosts.cfg. You still need the hosts to be in hosts.cfg, but not tags
are required.

    Thanks again!

If you meant to say, "Hey Jeremy" then the answer is, that
it's all stuff for Xymon.

    Hey Josh, I saw that before.  Is that stuff that devmon
looks at or stuff for xymon.

    I'm not at all clear

    Thanks in advance

    Xymon already has code for SNMP that works, but isn't
documented. I have it working for me, but it required a fair bit or digging
to find the right
    configuration. I've
    posted on this previously; might help:

        Thanks you Josh,

        Yes I know about devmon (I put my own devmon
version which is a try to be a consolidate version)

        In fact, I just would like to know if there was
another SNMP development (but it seems not as you say it will be merged)
inside Xymon . (I am thinking a way to
    integrate
        SNMP v3, but it do not uses the current

SNMP_session perl lib as it is not supported within this lib)?

        You can just use Devmon these days.

        I've seen nothing to suggest the projects will be
merged.

            Hello,

            Is there any plan to have SNMP include with a
new version of xymon? If
            yes, what is the current state?
