No authentication and no privacy — the identity of the sender is not verified.
•
Authentication and no privacy — the identity of the sender is verified, but the information is not encrypted.

Managing monitor configurations

A monitor is a group of Object Identifiers (OIDs) used to communicate with an SNMP agent. A typical SNMP monitoring environment contains a combination of built-in and user configured OIDs.
Foglight for SNMP provides pre-defined monitors that collect key data for most of the common devices in a network. When you create a custom SNMP monitor, you can define any OID to an management information base (MIB) node to monitor any SNMP device (regardless of the manufacturer or type of device).
For example, you can monitor temperature on a switch, fan speed on a router, and battery status on a UPS. Custom SNMP monitors enable Foglight for SNMP to provide complete SNMP coverage on any network.
To manage monitor configurations:
1
Log in to the Foglight browser interface. On the navigation panel, under Dashboards, click Administration > Agents > Agent Status.
2
Select the SNMP agent type for which you want to configure an SNMP monitor and, in the toolbar, click Edit.
3
Click Edit Properties.
4
Click Modify the private properties for this agent.
5
In the Devices and Collection OIDs section, locate the Monitor Configurations property.
6
Click the Edit button for this property.
A table of the properties specific to the selected agent type opens.
 
7
Double-click on the value to change the fields, as necessary:
 
* 
IMPORTANT: Do NOT modify the Monitor ID.
•
Interval — The time during which the agent collects data.
•
Time Unit — The time unit associated with the Interval property. Supports minutes, hours, days, and cron.
 
* 
NOTE: For information on how to use cron, see the Foglight Agent Manager Guide.
•
Enable — Indicates whether data collection from the monitor is enabled or disabled.
•
Show — Disregard — this field is no longer used.

Click Save Changes.
The new settings are saved for the selected agent.
