AOC supports integration with third-party monitoring and alerting platforms (Zabbix) via Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). By creating SNMP transports, you can receive cluster monitoring information on SNMP clients. You can create a unified SNMP transport for clusters associated with an observability service. After the SNMP transport is created, the monitoring information generated by the clusters will be sent to the SNMP client through the observability service.
Prerequisite
You have configured SNMP in the monitoring tool that you plan to use.
Procedure
In the left navigation bar of the AOC System configuration page, click SMTP transport to access the SNMP transport page. Click + Configure SMTP transport in the upper right corner. You should see the Configure SMTP server dialog box.
Fill in the following information:
Basic information
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Name | The name of the SNMP transport being created. |
Transport object | The transport object for the SNMP transport being created. You can select clusters associated with the observability service. |
Protocol | Currently, only the UDP protocol is supported, which cannot be modified. |
Port | The port number for the transport, which is 161 by default. A port can only be utilized by one SNMP transport. |
Version | v2c or v3. Note: It is recommended to configure the v2c version of SNMP transport, as Zabbix's support for the v3 version of SNMP transport is unstable. |
Version configuration information
Configure according to the protocol version selected in Basic information.
Version | Parameter | Description |
---|---|---|
v2c | Group | The name of the group used to access the remote SNMP manager. |
v3 | Username | The username for the new SNMP user. |
Password | The password used for authentication. | |
Authentication protocol | MD5 or SHA, the protocol used for encrypting the user password to ensure the security of user identities. | |
Privacy protocol | DES or AES, the method for encrypting SNMP messages. | |
Private key | The key used for encryption. |
Click Create.
After creation, you can view all created SNMP transports on the SNMP transport page and edit or delete the created SNMP transports as needed.
Note:
When editing or deleting an SNMP transport, if there is an SNMP transport that fails to be edited or deleted, AOC will continue to send the observability service the command to configure or delete that configuration. You can view the update status of the SNMP transport in the SNMP transport list.
