Configuring SNMP alerting on Content Gateway (software)

Before configuring SNMP to monitor and report on Content Gateway processes, make sure you have installed Net-SNMP and performed a basic SNMP configuration.

Steps

  1. Add the process names and MAX/MIN process values to the “Process checks” section of snmpd.conf. You also need to add the v2 trap specification.
  2. Edit /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf and add the following lines in the “Process checks” area: 
    proc content_cop 1 1
proc content_gateway 1 1
proc content_manager 1 1
proc DownloadService 1 1
proc microdasys 2 1
proc microdasysws 1 1 # send v2 traps
trap2sink IP_address_of_SNMP_Manager:162 informsink IP_address_of_SNMP_Manager: 162 rwuser all
agentSecName all defaultMonitors yes

    If Filtering Service is also running on the Content Gateway machine and you want to monitor it, add:

    proc EIMServer 1 1
