Agent-specific installation and configuration
In addition to the installation and configuration information in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Installation and Setup Guide, use this agent-specific installation and configuration information to install the Agentless Monitor for Linux.
The Agentless Monitor for Linux uses the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to remotely collect metrics from the operating system. SNMP Version 1, SNMP Version 2c, or SNMP Version 3 can be used, depending on the configuration of the Linux operating system.
- On SuSE Linux Enterprise version 9 remote systems, Service Pack 3 or later (provides net-snmp-5.1-80.22.rpm or later) is required to correctly collect memory statistics.
- For Red Hat operating systems, the /etc/snmpd.conf must be modified to allow the Host Resources MIB and ucdavis MIB to be viewed by all users.
- Add the following system views to the SNMP configuration:
- view systemview included .1.3.6.1.2.1.25
- view systemview included .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021
- Configuration values
For both local and remote configuration, you provide the configuration values for the agent to operate.
- Remote installation and configuration
You can install the monitoring agent remotely from the Tivoli Enterprise Portal or from the command line.
