configure snmp.

saumya_tamma

Hi,

I am new to vertica and do not understand how to configure snmp to start the monitoring.

The documentation just gives information that we need to set few parameters. I did that and ran a test and it showed it completed. But i dont understand how it works.

dbadmin=> SELECT SNMP_TRAP_TEST();
      SNMP_TRAP_TEST
--------------------------
 Completed SNMP Trap Test
(1 row)

If there is any error where does the mail be sent to? how do we configure it?

Please help.

Thanks
saumya

The SNMP agent doesn't send email, it sends SNMP traps (when configured, and only on certain conditions).

 

A quick Google search shows this page:

 

https://my.vertica.com/docs/7.1.x/HTML/Content/Authoring/AdministratorsGuide/Monitoring/Vertica/ConfiguringEventTrappingForSNMP.htm

 

You'll need to load the MIB into your trap receiver (eg NNMi, OMi) so that you can get the numeric to name conversion done. That should also allow you to do things like associate actions (eg open a ticket, send an email) to things.

 

 

"HP Vertica supports the SNMP V1 trap protocol, and it is located in /opt/vertica/sbin/VERTICA-MIB"
