Yes entrylevel, there si a Linux agent that works perfectly under RedHat at least, I´ve tested this + agent with NAT and both are working just fine.

Hi there netconsult, unfortunately the agent is not for free, is a package that comes with the VPO agent + rpc/dce agent.

You may find additional info at

http://itrc.hp.com,

but let us know what are you planning to do, I´m sure there are many ways to manage you RH if you can´t spend money on thsi agent, ok?

Best regards,

If I'm not mistaken, I don't have their docs in front of me, VPO 6.x supports up to RedHat 7.1 and VPO 7.x supports up to RedHat 7.2.

We've been able to use both RH 7.1 and 7.2 on VPO 6.x (requires a little tweaking of some library files on 7.2) but both work fine in our environment using the standard HP agents.

I have not tested a RH 8.0 yet that was just released so I cannot vouch for that yet.

entrylevel,

I've used the snmp agent from netsnmp (used to be ucd-snmp) and watched quite a bit on Linux (disk space, cpu, mem usage) and the netsnmp product is GNU (free).

http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/

Although, I believe that RedHat's been using the netsnmp since 7.x.

You've got to import the MIBS into OV, but I don't remember it being too bad.
