Live Practice Labs
Our live access labs provide full console access to a self-paced study lab environment. This is an ideal place to re-work lab exercises from class or to experiment with advanced configuration from your home or hotel room. Find out which works for you and get a downloadable eKit when you enroll.
Taking advantage of SNMP and MRTG
Network monitoring, review of SNMP. What MRTG does do, what MRTG doesn't do, MRTG architecture, MRTG components. Hands on: configuring SNMP support on network devices, configuring extended SNMP support on Windows.
Who should attend
System administrators, network administrators and software developers who want to implement MRTG
Prerequisites
Attendees should already have a good commond over networking and linux.
Who will benefit?
Anyone working with MRTG.
Course Outline
Many devices support SNMP, including routers, switches, servers, workstations, printers and Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS).What this means is you can use SNMP and monitor the health of your routers, servers and other pieces of network devices; which is fairly simple.
Before you get started anyway, you sure want to know what SNMP is
What do you or your organization get to benefit when using SNMP?
If you have a device that supports SNMP, how can you tell they are configured properly?
When does MRTG come into play, and what is it anyway?
You want to see trends at a glance; graph memory usage, load average, CPU performance and more. How can you use MRTG to make this possible? Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words.
Installing MRTG
Installing Perl, installing MRTG, UNIX platform, Microsoft platform, HTTP server. Hands on: Installing MRTG, a simple MRTG example.
MRTG tasks
Configuring MRTG tasks, .cfg files, index.html files, running MRTG tasks, instances. Hands on: Configuring and running MRTG tasks.
MRTG graphs
Daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, MRTG database support, RRDTOOL. Hands on: MRTG graphs.
Using MRTG
MRTG examples, custom SNMP OIDs, using the MRTG configuration reference. Hands on: MRTG examples.
RRDTOOL
Installing RRD database support, MRTG instances with the RRD database, RRD database structure, resizing and extending the database. Exporting database records into plain text and XML formats, on demand MRTG graphs using the database. Hands on: Using MRTG with RRD database support.
Alternatives to MRTG
MRTG strengths and weaknesses, scalability, cricket, cacti, other SNMP tools.
