I'd like to set up something like this on (currently) 10+ LEAF boxes. > I just use SNMP (on the LEAF boxes) and MRTG (running on a debian system, > and tracking lots of other stuff besides just my firewall load). Among the stuff I'd like to stat on the LEAF boxes is the number of connections through each. Is this possible with net-snmp? > Firewall rules keep SNMP visible to only trusted hosts (fixed IP blocks), as > SNMP isn't really something you want visible to the raw internet unless you > *REALLY* know what you're doing when locking it down. Which is the main reason I've never gotten very far with snmp; I'm positively clueless about it. Will something as simple as firewall rules be sufficient to prevent badness from happening? And would the same apply to remote logging? I'm not happy about the thought of having this data go unencrypted through the Internet, but OTOH I need some way to track these hosts... Pointers, opinions etc very much appreciated...
