HPE Router
Introduction
HPE Comware routers provide enterprise routing capabilities and expose SNMP telemetry for CPU, memory, interface, and temperature health monitoring
Getting Started
Compatibility
HPE Router O11ySource supports SNMP versions v1, v2c and v3.
Data Collection Method
HPE Comware routers support SNMP, Syslog, and CLI access. Some platforms also support sFlow and streaming telemetry such as gNMI. This o11y source uses SNMP to collect interface, CPU, memory, and temperature health data
Prerequisites
Dependent Configuration
To configure this O11ySource, create a 'credential' of type 'snmp' under the 'Definition' tab.
Inputs for Configuring Data Source
- Group Name: This field is for grouping devices for SNMP polling, making it easier to manage devices with common characteristics or within the same network segment.
- No. of Retries: Number of times the system should reattempt polling if the initial attempt fails. Default is set to 7 retries
- Timeout Duration: Specify how long the system should wait for a response from a device before considering the attempt unsuccessful. Default timeout is 5 seconds
- Device: Details needed to collect health data from the devices using SNMP
- Device IP: Enter the IP address of the device.
- SNMP Credential: Select the SNMP credential from the dropdown list that corresponds to this device.
- Vendor: Select the vendor of the device from the dropdown list
- Model: Select the model of the device from dropdown list.
- MIB Groups: Define what MIBs to be queried and how often
- MIB Group: Default: 'ALL_SUPPORTED_MIB_GROUPS'.
- Interval: Default: 360 seconds
Firewall Requirement
To collect data from this O11ySource, ensure the following ports are opened:
| Source IP | Destination IP | Destination Port | Protocol | Direction |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| vuSmartMaps IP | IP address of the SNMP device | 161* | UDP | Outbound |
*Before providing the firewall requirements, please update the port based on the customer environment.
Configuring the Target
Configure SNMP on HPE Routers and grant SNMP access permissions to vuSmartMaps designated IP address.
Configuration Steps
Enablethe O11ySource.- Select the sources tab and press the
+button to add a new instance that has to be monitored. - Provide the required configurations:
- *Resource Name
- *Period (in seconds)
- *Credential
- *Resource ID
- Click
Saveto close the data source window.
