Monitoring with SNMP

Post by fiberkill » 2017/03/14 07:35:56

Hello,

i need to monitor a view servers.
The informations i need are realy basic (such as CPU load, temperatur, NIC status, power status and so on).
I think i can handle this with SNMP.
I don't want to run an agent on my servers. I would like to handle this with a shell script.
My problem is, i have no experience with SNMP.
Does anybody have a script or somthing else like this where i can learn from?

cheers fk

You'll have a job monitoring via snmp without running the snmpd daemon on your machines.

And rather than reinvent the wheel, look at the products that already do this like cacti, librenms etc.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
