Hi All,

I am trying out OpenNMS on CentOS. I am able to install it and run the WebConsole properly too. I have enabled the SNMP on a remote linux host.

But I am not getting any clue on monitoring Disk properties. Please guide me how I can do this?

Is there any Book or PDF with simple steps that I can refer?

Since OpenNMS has documentation like at http://www.opennms.org/index.php/Doc...ata_Collection, maybe you could read there, try again and if that doesn't work for you tell us in detail what you're having problems with (configuration, testing, whatever else) and how you've tested things to work/not work?

In order for OpenNMS to see disk space stats, you have to enable the "disk" directive for the SNMP agent.

On the remote system, edit /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf and add an entry for each disk you are interested in monitoring. In other words, if you have a / and a /boot partition, add

disk /
disk /boot

and restart the agent. OpenNMS should automatically pick up the change.

Don't forget to open the relevant ports on the firewall: 161 and/or 162

Hi All,

Thanks for the replies.

Yes, OpenNMS took those entries and I can see the partitions being detected.

I have a query that, Consider I have 2 partitions

/boot 400MB
/opt 5GB

Can I set seperate thresholds for the specific partitions.

Like /opt should throw an alert when the usage goes beyond 95%
/boot should give an alert when usage is 80%.

Also, I see the DNS service not getting recognised in the OpenNMS.

Another query is, I want to customise the alert messages, i.e. when disk threhold is exceeded it should throw some alert in simple english which I prefer.

I am a beginner and I may be asking too much in too short of time. Also my SNMP knowledge is limited. Sorry for that.

The version of OpenNMS i am using is 1.6.1 and I see the most of the docs on the opennms home page are of Older versions.

Thanks again for the replies.
