No, you should still use devmon for monitoring SNMP enabled devices. At least for the time being - devmon, I think, can do a lot more than snmpcollect right now. > Any tips on usage? > Or it is too early to try it ? It's very early to try this, only do it if you're really adventurous. I only started this Saturday, so it hasn't seen any real testing. Nonetheless, I setup a small test run of it this afternoon, and so far it appears to be working as intended. If you do want to try it out, get the snapshot version which will be available in a couple of hours. The reason for doing this is that our network people are having problems collecting statistics with MRTG. Basically, their MRTG server is extremely overloaded, and besides that they'd rather not have to worry about setting up MRTG and maintaining a website for it. So I was asked if it was possible for Hobbit to handle the ~10.000 datasets they are currently collecting with MRTG. Of course, that was a challenge I had to meet :-) I've chosen to be a bit more thorough than MRTG in the data collection. MRTG by default collects only the in/out byte counts from a device; you can do that with Hobbit's new snmpcollect, but a better choice is to grab the entire set of data present in the "interfaces" MIB. This includes some interesting data, e.g. how many bad packets arrived over the interface, how many were discarded, and what the current output queue length is. snmpcollect uses a configuration file that looks like this: [localhost] version=2 community=public mrtg=2 IF-MIB::ifInOctets.2 IF-MIB::ifOutOctets.2 Main IO # ifmib=2 LAN # ifmib=(eth0) LAN # ifmib=[0:e:a6:ce:d6:85] LAN ifmib={172.16.10.100} LAN So for a host, you define the SNMP version you want to use (currently v1 and v2c only), the community name, and optionally an IP address for it. Then you can request snmpcollect to fetch either a set of data in MRTG form, or you can fetch the entire interface-MIB set of data for a router interface / switch port. There are different ways to define what interface you want the data for - by interface number, description, MAC address or IP. snmpcollect grabs the data and sends it to Hobbit in a "data" message; this is picked up by the current hobbitd_rrd module and put into trend graphs. Right now it just collects the data. I have some ideas to add monitoring so it might trigger an alert if the error-rate of an interface goes up, or the traffic exceeds certain limits (min/max). Nothing definite yet. Oh - and the current snapshot blindly assumes you have Net-SNMP installed; if not, it won't compile. No need to tell me that - I know.
