SNMP tools
2007-12-24 21:06:00
For the last while, we have been looking at implementing some monitoring on
our Sun servers using SNMP, and we have a few questions before we start
implementing, having looked through a selective pile of documentation
already.
1) Are there any good/bad comments you have regarding Sun Management Center,
net-SNMP, or other? Which would you go with?
2) It seems that the stock SNMP agents for Solaris (snmpdx, snmpXdmid) are
so non-standard that neither of the above (nor NetHealth) can use them, and
require replacement. Are there any moves at Sun that people have heard of to
move toward other default SNMP agents for future OS releases, say those for
SMC? Or, alternatively, what monitoring tools can work with these agents to
provide the standard information people expect from these tools?
Any information would be gratefully received. We would rather not spend
weeks chasing down dead ends.
Thanks.
