You surely have a point here, but SNMP (which quite oftenly is referenced as being the abbreviation for "security's not my problem") gets regularly bellyached about by security/compliance auditors. I use to have regular run-ins with auditors telling me to shut down SNMP, once even in HACMP clusters (which is impossible without shutting down the cluster software first). Having it running without SNMP being a
conditio sine qua non makes for troublesome discussions at best.
rsct is one of the APIs IBM developed only to have nobody use it, as it seems. I know of no monitoring product which uses it and AFAIK the only software building on it is HAMP. Most monitoring software i know (HP-OV, BMC Patrol) use their own agents.
I hope this helps.

Hi all,
I'm looking for the best tool to monitor the Linux system. I've found a lot of interesting tools searching the web but I didn't find one which can do all the requirments (like a one in all tool). I would prefer it to include a command line interface also.
Thank you,

Info::Layer3::Pf(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Info::Layer3::Pf(3pm)
NAME
SNMP::Info::Layer3::Pf - SNMP Interface to FreeBSD-Based Firewalls using Pf /Pf Sense
AUTHOR
Max Baker
SYNOPSIS
# Let SNMP::Info determine the correct subclass for you.
my $pf = new SNMP::Info(
AutoSpecify => 1,
Debug => 1,
# These arguments are passed directly to SNMP::Session
DestHost => 'myswitch',
Community => 'public',
Version => 2
)
or die "Can't connect to DestHost.
";
my $class = $pf->class();
print "SNMP::Info determined this device to fall under subclass : $class
";
DESCRIPTION
Subclass for Free-BSD PF-Based devices
LLDP Support
LLDP Support is included but untested in this Device Class. It is reported that the available CDP/LLDP modules for net-snmp don't work on
FreeBSD (on which pfSense is based) as they assume certain Linux specific Ethernet structures. This problem is apparently solved on PF
based firewall appliances by using the ladvd package, for which a port may be found here: <http://www.freshports.org/net/ladvd/>. I'm not
sure if this module ties into Net-SNMP or not.

GLOBALS
These are methods that return scalar values from SNMP
$pf->vendor()
Returns 'FreeBSD'
$pf->hasCDP()
Returns whether LLDP is enabled.
$pf->model()
Grabs the os version from "sysDescr"
$pf->os()
Returns 'Pf'
$pf->os_ver()
Tries to reference $pf->id() to one of the product MIBs listed above. Will probably return a truncation of the default OID for pf-
based systems "enterprises.12325.1.1.2.1.1".
Global Methods imported from SNMP::Info::Layer3
See documentation in "GLOBALS" in SNMP::Info::Layer3 for details.

These are methods that return tables of information in the form of a reference to a hash.
$pf->c_id()
Returns LLDP information.
$pf->c_if()
Returns LLDP information.
$pf->c_ip()
Returns LLDP information.
$pf->c_platform()
Returns LLDP information.
$pf->c_port()
Returns LLDP information.
