Chapter 10: Monitoring and Graphing the System
The DHCPatriot has a number of performance monitoring tools that are available both
on the system itself and also remotely via SNMP. Also, it is possible to remotely access
address utilization data via SNMP for use in some graphing system such as Cacti.
It is possible to remotely monitor a variety of services on the DHCPatriot system. Some
are monitored via SNMP, others are monitored by connecting to the actual service to
confirm that it is running.
Allowing Subnets to Monitor the DHCPatriot
It is simple to allow subnets to
monitor the DHCPatriot system
devices. A function is included
that allows setting up
monitoring on a per-subnet
basis. This function is shown in
figure 10.1.
Adding a subnet(s), as shown
in figure 10.1, allows those
addresses to monitor all facets
of the DHCPatriot system, as
described later in the manual.
The firewall will automatically
be opened allowing access to
services that may need
monitoring, and DHCP ranges
will be created so that
monitoring can be done of
DHCP by actually performing
DHCP operations. This
ensures that the service really
is answering requests as opposed to just running as can be told via SNMP.
The configuration of the subnets is setup in much the same way it is elsewhere in the
DHCPatriot system when adding DHCP ranges. A container network must be created
using the form at the top. The list immediately below that form can be used to edit and
delete network entries. The bottom form is used for adding subnets to the configured
networks. The list at the bottom of the page is used edit and delete subnet entries.
You will notice some default entries in here noted as FNGi-Monitoring. These entries
should not be changed or deleted or First Network Group personnel may not be able to
help you with any DHCPatriot problem that would require access to the system.
