In addition to the installation and configuration information
in the IBM® Tivoli Monitoring
Installation and Setup Guide, use this agent-specific installation and configuration
information to install the Agentless Monitor for Linux.
The
Agentless Monitor for Linux uses the
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to remotely collect metrics
from the operating system. SNMP Version 1, SNMP Version 2c, or SNMP
Version 3 can be used, depending on the configuration of the Linux
operating system.
- On SuSE Linux Enterprise version 9 remote systems, Service Pack
3 or later (provides net-snmp-5.1-80.22.rpm or later)
is required to correctly collect memory statistics.
- For Red Hat operating systems, the /etc/snmpd.conf must be modified to allow the Host Resources MIB
and ucdavis MIB to be viewed by all users.
- Add the following system views to the SNMP configuration:
- view systemview included .1.3.6.1.2.1.25
- view systemview included .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021
