I am using Cacti on a firewalled production server to do all manner of
system monitoring and metrics. I would also like to setup SNMP on my
development servers that sits behind a firewall at a different data
center. Is there a way that I can securely allow SNMP access to my
development boxen from the production box. The end result I am looking
for is the ability to log in to a single instance of cacti and have
access to all of my servers all over the world. Is this possible to do
securely? Any recommendations?
Hello Mike,
JFFNMS is a NMS with many,many more features than cacti.
www.jffnms.org
The user group is quite astute and very willing to help.
JFFNMS is very customizable and folks are adding support
for UPSesa and all sorts of ethernet based equipment on
a very frequent basis. The archives are wonderful.
Support for SNMP 1/2/3 is a key part of JFFNMS. Several
of the JFFNMS devs know more about SNMP that anyone I've
encountered (YMMV)
There are 2 ebuilds for jffnms on gentoo:
net-analyzer/jffnms
Available versions: 0.8.2 0.8.3
Installed: none
Homepage:http://www.jffnms.org/
Description: Network Management and Monitoring System.
0.8.2 is broken due many changes with gentoo.
0.8.3 has a few flag issues that can be worked thru manually. Do post
what you do with the flags listed in:
/usr/portage/net-analyzer/jffnms/jffnms-0.8.3.ebuild
to bugzilla, so the devs can finalize what they are going to
do with the flag options.
Drop me some email...
I do not think that JFFNMS is SElinux friendly, yet.
