Configuring Monitor
38.1
Introduction
Virtual Access monitoring system (Monitor) is a secure portal that provides:
•
Centralised monitoring of devices
•
Device status
•
GPS location
•
Syslog reporting
•
Real time diagnostics
•
Email notification
•
Advanced statistics
•
Dashboard graph reporting
You must configure each router in the network to send the required information to
Monitor. This chapter explains how to configure the different information that can be
sent to Monitor, including the required router configuration for:
•
Reporting device status to Monitor
•
Reporting GPS location to Monitor
•
Reporting syslog to Monitor
•
Configuration of interface statistics collection (ISAD)
For detailed information on operating Monitor, read the Monitor User Manual.
38.2
Reporting device status to Monitor
To allow Monitor to track the IP address and ongoing presence of a device, a keepalive
heartbeat SNMP trap is sent from the router. The router is capable of sending SNMP in
version 1, 2c and 3.
The SNMP keepalive heartbeat sends basic information on interface status but can also
be configured to contain more detailed information such as GPS location.
The basic heartbeat configuration consists of two parts:
•
enabling the heartbeat keepalive
•
enabling the interface(s) to be monitored
