Rapid deployment of Cacti monitoring platform in Centos 6.2

Cacti uses snmpget to obtain data and uses RRDtool to draw images. In addition, you do not need to understand the complex parameters of RRDtool. It provides powerful data and user management functions, allowing each user to view the tree structure, host, and any graph. It can also be used with LDAP for user verification, you can also add templates by yourself, which are very powerful and complete. User-friendly.

The development of the software Cacti is based on making it easier for RRDTool users to use the software. In addition to the basic Snmp traffic and system information monitoring, cacti can also plug-in Scripts and add Templates to make a variety of monitoring charts.

Configuration component rrdtool

Rrdtool is installed. rrdtool cannot be directly installed through yum. You can add Dag RPM Repository so that yum can find rrdtool.

123 [root @ chenyi ~] # Wget requests # Rpm-Uvh rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm [root @ chenyi ~] # Yum install rrdtool

Configure snmp net-snmp

1 [root @ chenyi ~] # Yum-y install net-snmp-utils net-snmp-libs

Edit the snmp configuration file

12345678 [root @ chenyi ~] # Vi/etc/snmp/snmpd. change conf to about 41 rows: com2sec notConfigUser defaultpublic to: com2sec notConfigUser192.168.1.220public #192.168.1.220 is the IP address of the cacti server installed. specify that only this IP address can obtain the SNMP information of the Local Machine to improve security. Modify about 62 rows: change access notConfigGroup "" any noauth exact systemview none to "access notConfigGroup" "any noauth exact all none" to about 85 rows: # view all supported ded. change 1 80 to: Remove comments.

Start the snmp service

123 [root @ chenyi ~] # Service snmpd start [root @ chenyi ~] # Chkconfig -- add snmpd [root @ chenyi ~] # Chkconfig snmpd on

Configure the cacti Program

12 [root @ chenyi ~] # Tar zxf cacti-0.8.7h.tar.gz # unpack [root @ chenyi ~] # Music cacti-0.8.7h/var/www/html/cacti # Move to/html and rename

Create a cacti Database

Linux controlled host settings

Install net-snmp

1 [root @ chenyi Packages] # yum install net-snmp

Configure snmpd and start the service

123456vi/etc/snmp/snmpd. change the conf variable com2sec notConfigUser defaultpublic to com2sec notConfigUser192.168.1.220 # change the monitoring IP public to access notConfigGroup "" any noauth exact systemview none to access notConfigGroup "any noauth exact all none will # view all protected DED. 1.

Return to the web page and select Create graphs for your new devices and then Create New Host.

For windows host detection, it will be written in subsequent compilation tests!
