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
snmp - cups snmp backend SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/cups/backend/snmp ip-address-or-hostname lpinfo -v --include-schemes snmp DESCRIPTION
The CUPS SNMP backend provides legacy discovery and identification of network printers using SNMPv1. When used for discovery through the scheduler, the backend will list all printers that respond to a broadcast SNMPv1 query with the "public" community name. Additional queries are then sent to printers that respond in order to determine the correct device URI, make and model, and other information needed for printing. In the first form, the SNMP backend is run directly by the user to look up the device URI and other information when you have an IP address or hostname. This can be used for programs that need to configure print queues where the user has supplied an address but nothing else. In the second form, the SNMP backend is run indirectly using the lpinfo(8) command. The output provides all printers detected via SNMP on the configured broadcast addresses. Note: no broadcast addresses are configured by default. MIBS
The CUPS SNMP backend uses the information from the Host, Printer, and Port Monitor MIBs along with some vendor private MIBs and intelli- gent port probes to determine the correct device URI and make and model for each printer. CONFIGURATION
The SNMP backend reads the /etc/cups/snmp.conf configuration file, if present, to set the default broadcast address, community name, and logging level. The configuration file is documented in cups-snmp.conf(5). The DebugLevel value can be overridden using the CUPS_DEBUG_LEVEL environment variable and the MaxRunTime value can be overridden using the CUPS_MAX_RUN_TIME environment variable. SEE ALSO
