How do I install the SNMP daemon on Linux machines?

Cette page n’existe pas en français en ce moment. Nous vous prions de nous excuser.

Suitable SNMP software and instructions should be available from the vendor of your Linux distribution.

SNMPD from the Net-SNMP project is very commonly used, see: net-snmp.sourceforge.net/

There is a good tutorial that explains the installation of the NET-SNMP deamon on a Debian Linux system on the DebianHelp website:
www.debianhelp.co.uk/snmp.htm

After installing and configuring this daemon you should be able to monitor vital system data (e.g. the CPU load) using PRTG Traffic Grapher and IPCheck Server Monitor. Simply create a new sensor, choose "SNMP Library Sensor" and select the "Basic Linux Library" from the list of available libraries.

See the links below for instructions how to monitor Linux servers.
