View system resources by SNMP

mozilla · 03-03-2009, 01:55 PM

Hi All,

I'm working in a web based application written by php to administrate my servers, but I want to display some basic resource usage for another remote server (like CPU, memory, and hard disks) in graphs, I knew that SNMP is installed and configured on the other server.
How can I retrieve such information from SNMP?
Do I need to install SNMP service on my web application server?

Please help me with hints or docs to start in this point.

Thanks

You would need to check out the host resources mib to figure out the oid's pertaining to CPU, Memory, etc. or use google.
Use the command snmpget to retrieve those values.
