I am running into an issue with the ssCpuRawIdle counter with a net-snmp agent running on Linux (Fedora, 2.6 kernel). I was using this and the other raw cpu counters to figure CPU load, and it was working fine on this and other boxes until the ssCpuRawIdle counter hit the max. value of an...

Having been using ScienceLogic EM7 for a couple of months now I would happily recommend looking at that as a cheaper/faster to deploy alternative to the framework products. It has a handy integrated ticketing system too if you need that.

The net-snmp agent that is installed on most Linux systems supports SET functionality, though you will need to do some experimenting with the read/write oids that you want to change to make sure it does just what you want.

The MIB file doesn't really affect what a particular agent can send, it just allows you to interpret what the agent sends. Where you put the MIB on the client system is not material. Compiling or importing the MIB into a decent management console allows the trap or poll results from the agent...

The old LAN Manager MIB (.1.3.6.1.4.1.77) will show a basic services table, but will not give you control over the services. SNMP Informant's WMI agent will give you a much more comprehensive solution, including the ability to force a service to stop or start using SNMP sets. It works very well!

Thanks - I couldn't agree more regarding OpenView - NNM is pretty poor at event management... and ITO is too much money for what it does. I have been looking at OpenNMS and Nagios - I like them, they get me to about 70% of what I am looking for, and the price is right :) I'm still looking, but a...

I've looked at about a dozen products over the last few weeks, most of which do just some of what I want. One of the more intriguing ones I am looking at is ScienceLogic EM7 - it seems to have a good set of features and a very slick GUI. Anybody come across this product? They have an A list of...

The oids you need are the ifInOctets and ifOutOctets counters for each interface you want to measure. As the name implies, they count octets (effectively bytes) going in and out of each interface. As these are 32 bit counters, they can cycle quite often on busy interfaces, so you will probably...

Traps can be defined with bound variables (varbinds) that are sent with the trap. The varbinds can be any of the standard SNMP data types, including an octet string, so yes, a trap can certainly include a text string passed as a variable.

We have a network with a central office and several remote sites. It's a mostly Windows environment, with some Solaris and Linux. Cisco network gear. About 150 boxes of one sort or another... Over the years a bunch of different tools have been installed, each managing one piece of the IT...

I'm afraid you are right - Microsoft does not support SNMP v3 in their Windows SNMP service. There are replacement services available, 3 I have come across: Mg-Soft which starts @ $98 for a single computer, $300 for 10. NuDesign $500 for 25. Marksw $20/each (looks like a single developer) I...
