Starting SNMP agents
To monitor the status and statistics of one or more pipelines in
the Configuration Console, you must start an SNMP agent on the pipeline node
where those pipelines are running.
Before you begin:
- An SNMP agent needs to be installed and configured on the pipeline node
where the pipelines are running.
- Pipelines must be registered on the Pipelines tab
in the Configuration Console and configured for monitoring.
Procedure:
- From a command line on the pipeline node, use the Change
directory command to go to the home directory.
- Enter the following command: java -jar SNMPAgent-p port
number where port number is the system-wide
port number configured during pipeline installation for SNMP agents. The default
port number value is 13516.
Note: You can find the configured SNMP agent port
number in the server.xml file on the pipeline node.
The SNMP agent starts.
What to do next:
In the Configuration Console, select the Pipeline
Status tab to verify that the SNMP agent is running. If it is,
the SNMP agent will be reporting status and statistics on all pipelines running
on this pipeline node. You do not need to restart the SNMP agent if you add
more pipelines, as long as the .SHM files are in the same directory, which
is usually the directory where the SNMP agent is started.
