6. SNMP MONITORING (ONLY LINUX ENVIRONMENT)

The filter can be monitored using the SNMP protocol, which can be easily integrated into

the monitoring systems on the market.

For this purpose, the distribution of the filter includes an SNMP Agent, which acts as an

entirely independent service, keeping the values of parameters up to date as regards the

status of the filter in real time.

By default, the agent listens to port 161, although it can be configured to have a number

of agents on the same machine.

The parameters that can be monitored are:

• Filter status: ENABLED / DISABLED /OFF.

(ID: .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.254.1.0)

• ENABLED: The filter is currently active.

• DISABLED: The filter is on, but not active.

• OFF: The filter is not running.

• Number of requests per second: X.

(ID: .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.254.2.0.0)

• Number of blocks per second: X.

(ID: .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.254.3.0.1849.0)

It also includes full information about the system, such as:

• System time/date.

(ID: .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.4.0)

• Time the agent has been executed.

(ID: .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3)

• Name of server.

(ID: .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5)

6.1. Executing the SNMP agent

To activate the Optenet SNMP agent, you will need to execute this command:

optenet_snmp [–h] [–v] [–f] [–p PORT] [–l LOG_FILE]

• -h Displays the help in the command line

• -v Displays the product version

• -f It is not executed ion a child wire

• -p to establish a port other than 161 to listen to requests

-l to change the default log file (/usr/local/optenet/logs/optenet_snmp.log)
