SNMP Polling
Introduction
The SNMP Polling Observability solution aims to provide detailed insights and comprehensive visibility into various network infrastructure devices such as routers, switches, firewalls, load balancers, and more, leveraging the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). This solution serves as an SNMP enabler for different vendors and models.
Getting Started
Compatibility
SNMP Polling O11ySource supports SNMP versions v1, v2c and v3.
Data Collection Method
vuSmartMaps collects the availability data for SNMP Polling O11ySource using an internal data collector and collects data based on the source configuration.
Prerequisites
Dependent Configuration
To configure this O11ySource, create a 'credential' of type 'snmp' under the 'Definition' tab.
Inputs for Configuring Data Source
- Group Name: This field is for grouping devices for SNMP polling, making it easier to manage devices with common characteristics or within the same network segment.
- No. of Retries: Number of times the system should reattempt polling if the initial attempt fails. Default is set to 7 retries
- Timeout Duration: Specify how long the system should wait for a response from a device before considering the attempt unsuccessful. Default timeout is 5 seconds
Devices
- Device IP: Enter the IP address of the device.
- SNMP Credential: Select the SNMP credential from the dropdown list that corresponds to this device.
- Vendor: Select the vendor of the device from the dropdown list
- Model: Select the model of the device from dropdown list.
MIB Groups
- MIB Group: Select the MIB Group to poll, identifying the MIB OID to collect. Default: 'ALL_SUPPORTED_MIB_GROUPS'.
- Interval: Specify the polling interval in seconds. Default: 360 seconds
Firewall Requirement
To collect data from this O11ySource, ensure the following ports are opened:
| Source IP | Destination IP | Destination Port | Protocol | Direction |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| vuSmartMaps IP | IP address of the SNMP device | 161* | UDP | Outbound |
*Before providing the firewall requirements, please update the port based on the customer environment.
Configuring the Target
Configure SNMP on target devices and grant SNMP access permissions to vuSmartMaps designated IP address.
