With
sraTraceLevel
set to
brief
, data flows to and from ftlSNMP external items are
traced. With
sraTraceLevel
set to
verbose
, internal items are also traced. You can
also change the location of the log file.
Agent and subagent startup and shutdown events are separately logged in
syslog
.
With trace levels other than
off
, logs may grow rapidly (depending on the number of
managed objects and their activity). In order to limit the size of the logs, you can use
logrotate
to manage log size and archiving. See
logrotate
(8).
Configuring SNMP to Start at System Initialization
After installation of the lsb-ft-snmp package, the
ft-snmp
initialization script is
installed in the
/etc/init.d
directory, and the
ft-snmp
service is added. During
system initialization, the
ft-snmp
service is automatically started at run level 3, 4, or
5. This initialization script provides start, stop, restart, and status functionality.
Configuring SNMP for Service Management
There are several ways of adding SNMPv3 user accounts, which allow local and
remote access to SNMP services.
SNMP provides an
/etc/opt/ft/snmp/snmpd.conf
file that contains instructions
and sample entries. Uncomment the right lines, then run the commands.
Uncomment these lines in
/etc/opt/ft/snmp/snmpd.conf
:
createUser admin MD5 your_passwd DES
rwuser v3user
group v3usergroup usm
admin
group v3usergroup usm
v3user
view v3view
included .1.3.6.1
access v3usergroup "" usm
authNoPriv exact v3view
v3view v3view
