Operating Systems AIX System monitoring with RMC/RSCT Post 302927505 by blackrageous on Wednesday 3rd of December 2014 01:42:44 PM
Old 12-03-2014
I recently completed testing and re-introducing myself to snmp, in particular the new features provided by snmpv3. snmpv3 does address security. I would use the snmp features provided by aix and integrate them with something like nagios (if I didn't have another manager). The sub daemons seem to provide all the information you want from an aix system. The hard part is configuring it..it is not as simple and snmpv1. The key to configuring is--I think--is to start with an snmpdv3.conf file that works. I didn't like the one I found in the samples directory on AIX so I used one I found on the internet complete with query examples. I tested querying from different machines to insure the security was working. I prefer snmp because, unlike rsct, a lot of things use it. Still testing.

NAME
net-snmp-config - returns information about installed net-snmp libraries and binaries SYNOPSIS
net-snmp-config [OPTIONS] DESCRIPTION
The net-snmp-config shell script is designed to retrieve the configuration information about the libraries and binaries dealing with the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), built from the net-snmp source package. The information is particularily useful for applications that need to link against the SNMP libraries and hence must know about any other libraries that must be linked in as well. OPTIONS
--version displays the net-snmp version number --indent-options displays the indent options from the Coding Style --debug-tokens displays a example command line to search to source code for a list of available debug tokens SNMP Setup commands: --create-snmpv3-user [-ro] [-a authpass] [-x privpass] [-X DES|AES] [-A MD5|SHA] [username] These options produce the various compilation flags needed when building external SNMP applications: --base-cflags lists additional compilation flags needed for external applications (excludes -I. and extra developer warning flags, if any) --cflags lists additional compilation flags needed --libs lists libraries needed for building applications --agent-libs lists libraries needed for building subagents --netsnmp-libs lists netsnmp specific libraries --external-libs lists libraries needed by netsnmp libs --netsnmp-agent-libs lists netsnmp specific agent libraries --external-agent-libs lists libraries needed by netsnmp libs Automated subagent building (produces an OUTPUTNAME binary file): [This feature has not been extensively tested, use at your own risk.] --compile-subagent OUTPUTNAME [--norm] [--cflags flags] [--ldflags flags] mibmodule1.c [...]] --norm leave the generated .c file around to read. --cflags flags extra cflags to use (e.g. -I...). --ldflags flags extra ld flags to use (e.g. -L... -l...). Details on how the net-nsmp package was compiled: --configure-options Display original configure arguments --snmpd-module-list Display the modules compiled into the agent --prefix Display the installation prefix V5.6 16 Nov 2006 net-snmp-config(1)
