Foglight for SNMP 5.9.2 - User and Reference Guide

Running SNMP discovery

IMPORTANT: On Linux® hosts, non-root users cannot bind to ports below 1024. The default port number for the SNMP traps is 162, so the port number must be changed.
1
On the navigation panel, under Dashboards, click Infrastructure.
The Discover Device(s) interactive UI opens.
3
On the Select an Agent Manager page, select the Foglight Agent Manager instance that you want to use to monitor devices.
4
On the Input Device Info page, discover the devices that you want to monitor with the selected Foglight Agent Manager.
NOTE: Click Exclude Criteria to see a list of IP addresses that are excluded by default.
The GenericSNMPTrapAgent is created for the Foglight Agent Manger (if one did not exist).
IMPORTANT: Linux non-root users cannot bind to ports below 1024. The default port number for the GenericSNMPTrapAgent is 162, so the port number must be changed for Linux hosts before devices can be monitored. For detailed information, see Changing the GenericSNMPTrapAgent port.

Ineligible devices

SNMP devices that are not discovered can be deemed ineligible for one of the following reasons:

SNMP communities and credentials

When you run SNMP discovery, specifying the correct device credentials is essential in order for Foglight for SNMP to access the devices in a network. When a device is discovered during a scan of the network, Foglight for SNMP adds it to the database. If the credentials are incorrectly set for that device, Foglight for SNMP cannot discover the device so that it can be monitored.

In the Discover Device(s) wizard, choose the correct credential for the devices in the network. Select a credential for one of the following protocols:

From the Discover Device(s) wizard, you can add new credentials by clicking the Manage all credentials link. For more information, see Accessing the Manage all credentials wizard.
