Radware Load Balancer
Introduction
Radware Load Balancer is a network traffic management solution that optimizes application delivery by distributing traffic across multiple servers. It supports SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) for monitoring performance, tracking real-time traffic statistics, and managing network events. This ensures high availability .
Getting Started
Compatibility
Radware Load Balancer O11ySource supports SNMP versions v1, v2c and v3.
Data Collection Method
vuSmartMaps collects Radware Load Balancer metrics through a data collector deployed within the vuSmartMaps platform, which uses SNMP to retrieve performance and health metrics. Note: SNMP Polling O11ySource must be enabled and configured before enabling the Radware Load Balancer O11ySource.
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
- 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
- MIB Group: Default: 'ALL_SUPPORTED_MIB_GROUPS'.
- Interval: Default: 360 seconds
Applications
Firewall Requirement
To collect data from this O11ySource, ensure the following ports are opened:
| Source IP | Destination IP | Destination Port | Protocol | Direction |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| vuSmartMaps Collection/Ingress node IP | IP address of the target device | 443* | UDP | Outbound |
*Before providing the firewall requirements, please update the port based on the customer environment.
Configuring the Target
Configure SNMP on Radware LoadBalancer devices and grant SNMP access permissions to vuSmartMaps designated IP address.
