The following Howto request was send to Howtoforge per email: Can you put a request for a guide on installing, configuring and using SNMP for Monitoring of Linux/Network Devices/Windows? maybe with Zabbix.com too? been trying to get that setup correctly..Thanks, YeaDude!
I would like that also Hey Till, I would also like to see a howto on snmp. I have been trying to set this up today but have been unsuccessful. I will keep looking on the net and see if I run across a good one. Jason
I'd like to see a primer on SNMP. Searched Googled already of course but only find long dry descriptions of software and network devices. Would be nice with a howto explaining how snmp works for non-engineers, including the mib thing, how are the codes assigned, are there standard rules or are the mib's assigned in a more or less random fashion by the network device manufacturers, etc. Edit: Never mind, found a good tutorial here: http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/tutorial/tutorial-5/
After spending hours and hours trying to make mrtg work, I finally found this tutorial: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/366 And everything was set-up in 5 min! I do hope that it will work for you too! My example: http://www.web-hosting.co.yu/mrtg/ and http://www.web-hosting.co.yu/phpsysinfo/ and thanx to Falko: http://www.web-hosting.co.yu/monitoring/
