Setup Oracle monitoring with SNMP

Question

Hello,
I don't understand why I can't read oracle MIB (.1.3.6.1.4.1.111 ).
I have installed Oracle Entreprise manager and start it :
--> emctl start dbconsole .... started.
I have installed Oracle Management Agent and subagent.
emctl start subagent --> Starting sub agent already running..
Now I have some scripts below :
/exec/products/oracle/v10.2.0/agent10g/network/snmp/peer/CONFIG.encap
AGENT AT PORT 1161 WITH COMMUNITY public
SUBTREES        1.3.6.1.2.1.1,
+1.3.6.1.2.1.2,+
+1.3.6.1.2.1.3,+
+1.3.6.1.2.1.4,+
+1.3.6.1.2.1.5,+
+1.3.6.1.2.1.6,+
+1.3.6.1.2.1.7,+
+1.3.6.1.2.1.8,+
+1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2+

/exec/products/oracle/v10.2.0/agent10g/network/snmp/peer/start_peer (do I need to configure something ?)
I have lauch the command below :
/exec/products/oracle/v10.2.0/agent10g/network/snmp/peer/start_peer -a
--> All starting are down but there is this message in encap_peer.out
trap bind failure: Address already in use
+./encap_peer: error opening manager-role port(s)+ --> I have tested configuring an other port like 1165 but it is the same thing.
Below is the result of the netstat command, snmp port are open :
+$netstat -an |grep 161+
udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:1161                0.0.0.0:*
udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:161                 0.0.0.0:*
Do I need to configure something in /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf ?
I dont understand what it is wrong.
Data are availlable with commande below :
snmpwalk -m all -v2c -c public 172.16.2.138:1165 1.3.6.1.4.1
But there is no data available for Oracle (.1.3.6.1.4.1.111 or .1.3.6.1.4.1.39).
Can you help me please ?
Thank you very much by advanced.

Answer 1

Hello,
below, this is my snmpd.conf configuration file, I have teste to include this line :
view systemview included .1.3.6.1.4 to allow oracle information but it didn't work.
Perhaps there is something that I have not understand.
B.
# snmpd.conf:
# An example configuration file for configuring the ucd-snmp snmpd agent.
# This file is intended to only be as a starting point. Many more
# configuration directives exist than are mentioned in this file. For
# full details, see the snmpd.conf(5) manual page.
# All lines beginning with a '#' are comments and are intended for you
# to read. All other lines are configuration commands for the agent.
# Access Control
# As shipped, the snmpd demon will only respond to queries on the
# system mib group until this file is replaced or modified for
# security purposes. Examples are shown below about how to increase the
# level of access.
# By far, the most common question I get about the agent is "why won't
# it work?", when really it should be "how do I configure the agent to
# allow me to access it?"
# By default, the agent responds to the "public" community for read
# only access, if run out of the box without any configuration file in
# place. The following examples show you other ways of configuring
# the agent so that you can change the community names, and give
# yourself write access to the mib tree as well.
# For more information, read the FAQ as well as the snmpd.conf(5)
# manual page.
# First, map the community name "public" into a "security name"
# sec.name source community
com2sec notConfigUser default public
# Second, map the security name into a group name:
# groupName securityModel securityName
group notConfigGroup v1 notConfigUser
group notConfigGroup v2c notConfigUser
# Third, create a view for us to let the group have rights to:
# Make at least snmpwalk -v 1 localhost -c public system fast again.
# name incl/excl subtree mask(optional)
view systemview included .1.3.6.1.2.1.1
view systemview included .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.1
# Finally, grant the group read-only access to the systemview view.
# group context sec.model sec.level prefix read write notif
access notConfigGroup "" any noauth exact systemview none none
# Here is a commented out example configuration that allows less
# restrictive access.
# YOU SHOULD CHANGE THE "COMMUNITY" TOKEN BELOW TO A NEW KEYWORD ONLY
# KNOWN AT YOUR SITE. YOU MUST CHANGE THE NETWORK TOKEN BELOW TO
# SOMETHING REFLECTING YOUR LOCAL NETWORK ADDRESS SPACE.
## sec.name source community
#com2sec local localhost COMMUNITY
#com2sec mynetwork NETWORK/24 COMMUNITY
## group.name sec.model sec.name
#group MyRWGroup any local
#group MyROGroup any mynetwork
#group MyRWGroup any otherv3user
## incl/excl subtree mask
#view all included .1 80
## -or just the mib2 tree-
#view mib2 included .iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2 fc
## context sec.model sec.level prefix read write notif
#access MyROGroup "" any noauth 0 all none none
#access MyRWGroup "" any noauth 0 all all all
# Sample configuration to make net-snmpd RFC 1213.
# Unfortunately v1 and v2c don't allow any user based authentification, so
# opening up the default config is not an option from a security point.
# WARNING: If you uncomment the following lines you allow write access to your
# snmpd daemon from any source! To avoid this use different names for your
# community or split out the write access to a different community and
# restrict it to your local network.
# Also remember to comment the syslocation and syscontact parameters later as
# otherwise they are still read only (see FAQ for net-snmp).
# First, map the community name "public" into a "security name"
# sec.name source community
#com2sec notConfigUser default public
# Second, map the security name into a group name:
# groupName securityModel securityName
#group notConfigGroup v1 notConfigUser
#group notConfigGroup v2c notConfigUser
# Third, create a view for us to let the group have rights to:
# Open up the whole tree for ro, make the RFC 1213 required ones rw.
# name incl/excl subtree mask(optional)
#view roview included .1
#view rwview included system.sysContact
#view rwview included system.sysName
#view rwview included system.sysLocation
#view rwview included interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifAdminStatus
#view rwview included at.atTable.atEntry.atPhysAddress
#view rwview included at.atTable.atEntry.atNetAddress
#view rwview included ip.ipForwarding
#view rwview included ip.ipDefaultTTL
#view rwview included ip.ipRouteTable.ipRouteEntry.ipRouteDest
#view rwview included ip.ipRouteTable.ipRouteEntry.ipRouteIfIndex
#view rwview included ip.ipRouteTable.ipRouteEntry.ipRouteMetric1
#view rwview included ip.ipRouteTable.ipRouteEntry.ipRouteMetric2
#view rwview included ip.ipRouteTable.ipRouteEntry.ipRouteMetric3
#view rwview included ip.ipRouteTable.ipRouteEntry.ipRouteMetric4
#view rwview included ip.ipRouteTable.ipRouteEntry.ipRouteType
#view rwview included ip.ipRouteTable.ipRouteEntry.ipRouteAge
#view rwview included ip.ipRouteTable.ipRouteEntry.ipRouteMask
#view rwview included ip.ipRouteTable.ipRouteEntry.ipRouteMetric5
#view rwview included ip.ipNetToMediaTable.ipNetToMediaEntry.ipNetToMediaIfIndex
#view rwview included ip.ipNetToMediaTable.ipNetToMediaEntry.ipNetToMediaPhysAddress
#view rwview included ip.ipNetToMediaTable.ipNetToMediaEntry.ipNetToMediaNetAddress
#view rwview included ip.ipNetToMediaTable.ipNetToMediaEntry.ipNetToMediaType
#view rwview included tcp.tcpConnTable.tcpConnEntry.tcpConnState
#view rwview included egp.egpNeighTable.egpNeighEntry.egpNeighEventTrigger
#view rwview included snmp.snmpEnableAuthenTraps
# Finally, grant the group read-only access to the systemview view.
# group context sec.model sec.level prefix read write notif
#access notConfigGroup "" any noauth exact roview rwview none
# System contact information
# It is also possible to set the sysContact and sysLocation system
# variables through the snmpd.conf file:
syslocation Unknown (edit /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf)
syscontact Root <root@localhost> (configure /etc/snmp/snmp.local.conf)
# Example output of snmpwalk:
# % snmpwalk -v 1 localhost -c public system
# system.sysDescr.0 = "SunOS name sun4c"
# system.sysObjectID.0 = OID: enterprises.ucdavis.ucdSnmpAgent.sunos4
# system.sysUpTime.0 = Timeticks: (595637548) 68 days, 22:32:55
# system.sysContact.0 = "Me <[email protected]>"
# system.sysName.0 = "name"
# system.sysLocation.0 = "Right here, right now."
# system.sysServices.0 = 72
# Process checks.
# The following are examples of how to use the agent to check for
# processes running on the host. The syntax looks something like:
# proc NAME [MAX=0] [MIN=0]
# NAME: the name of the process to check for. It must match
# exactly (ie, http will not find httpd processes).
# MAX: the maximum number allowed to be running. Defaults to 0.
# MIN: the minimum number to be running. Defaults to 0.
# Examples (commented out by default):
# Make sure mountd is running
#proc mountd
# Make sure there are no more than 4 ntalkds running, but 0 is ok too.
#proc ntalkd 4
# Make sure at least one sendmail, but less than or equal to 10 are running.
#proc sendmail 10 1
# A snmpwalk of the process mib tree would look something like this:
# % snmpwalk -v 1 localhost -c public .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.2
# enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prIndex.1 = 1
# enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prIndex.2 = 2
# enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prIndex.3 = 3
# enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prNames.1 = "mountd"
# enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prNames.2 = "ntalkd"
# enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prNames.3 = "sendmail"
# enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prMin.1 = 0
# enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prMin.2 = 0
# enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prMin.3 = 1
# enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prMax.1 = 0
# enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prMax.2 = 4
# enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prMax.3 = 10
# enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prCount.1 = 0
# enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prCount.2 = 0
# enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prCount.3 = 1
# enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prErrorFlag.1 = 1

# enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prErrMessage.3 = ""
# enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prErrFix.1 = 0
# enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prErrFix.2 = 0
# enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prErrFix.3 = 0
# Note that the errorFlag for mountd is set to 1 because one is not
# running (in this case an rpc.mountd is, but thats not good enough),
# and the ErrMessage tells you what's wrong. The configuration
# imposed in the snmpd.conf file is also shown.
# Special Case: When the min and max numbers are both 0, it assumes
# you want a max of infinity and a min of 1.
# Executables/scripts
# You can also have programs run by the agent that return a single
# line of output and an exit code. Here are two examples.
# exec NAME PROGRAM [ARGS ...]
# NAME: A generic name.
# PROGRAM: The program to run. Include the path!
# ARGS: optional arguments to be passed to the program
# a simple hello world
#exec echotest /bin/echo hello world
# Run a shell script containing:
# #!/bin/sh
# echo hello world
# echo hi there
# exit 35
# Note: this has been specifically commented out to prevent
# accidental security holes due to someone else on your system writing
# a /tmp/shtest before you do. Uncomment to use it.
#exec shelltest /bin/sh /tmp/shtest

# enterprises.ucdavis.extTable.extEntry.extErrFix.1 = 0
# enterprises.ucdavis.extTable.extEntry.extErrFix.2 = 0
# Note that the second line of the /tmp/shtest shell script is cut
# off. Also note that the exit status of 35 was returned.
# disk checks
# The agent can check the amount of available disk space, and make
# sure it is above a set limit.
# disk PATH [MIN=100000]
# PATH: mount path to the disk in question.
# MIN: Disks with space below this value will have the Mib's errorFlag set.
# Default value = 100000.
# Check the / partition and make sure it contains at least 10 megs.
