Red Hat Cluster Suite monitoring with SNMP

categories:

I’ll consider your cluster is already up and running.

Install cluster-snmp (available in Red Hat Cluster repository) :

yum install cluster-snmp

Let’s see what we have in there :

# rpm -ql cluster-snmp /usr/lib/cluster-snmp /usr/lib/cluster-snmp/libClusterMonitorSnmp.so /usr/share/doc/cluster-snmp-0.12.1 /usr/share/doc/cluster-snmp-0.12.1/COPYING /usr/share/doc/cluster-snmp-0.12.1/README /usr/share/doc/cluster-snmp-0.12.1/README.snmpd /usr/share/doc/cluster-snmp-0.12.1/REDHAT-CLUSTER-MIB /usr/share/doc/cluster-snmp-0.12.1/REDHAT-MIB /usr/share/snmp/mibs/REDHAT-CLUSTER-MIB /usr/share/snmp/mibs/REDHAT-MIB

Now on every node of the cluster, edit /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf and add this :

At the very beginning of the file : dlmod RedHatCluster /usr/lib/cluster-snmp/libClusterMonitorSnmp.so

If you run a 64 bits node : dlmod RedHatCluster /usr/lib64/cluster-snmp/libClusterMonitorSnmp.so

After other view items : view systemview included REDHAT-CLUSTER-MIB:RedHatCluster

Now reload SNMP and restart modclusterd (and make sure it starts at boot) : service snmpd reload service modclusterd restart chkconfig modclusterd on

You should now be able to query your nodes with any SNMP client : $ snmpwalk -v 2c -c public node1.example.com .1.3.6.1.4.1.2312

OR copy the MIB’s from the RPM under ~/.snmp/mibs and then run :

$ snmpwalk -v 2c -c public node1.example.com REDHAT-CLUSTER-MIB::RedHatCluster REDHAT-CLUSTER-MIB::rhcMIBVersion.0 = INTEGER: 1 REDHAT-CLUSTER-MIB::rhcClusterName.0 = STRING: "MailServerExample" REDHAT-CLUSTER-MIB::rhcClusterStatusCode.0 = INTEGER: 1 REDHAT-CLUSTER-MIB::rhcClusterStatusDesc.0 = STRING: "All services and nodes functional" REDHAT-CLUSTER-MIB::rhcClusterVotesNeededForQuorum.0 = INTEGER: 1 REDHAT-CLUSTER-MIB::rhcClusterVotes.0 = INTEGER: 2 REDHAT-CLUSTER-MIB::rhcClusterQuorate.0 = INTEGER: 1 REDHAT-CLUSTER-MIB::rhcClusterNodesNum.0 = INTEGER: 2 REDHAT-CLUSTER-MIB::rhcClusterNodesNames.0 = STRING: "node1.example.com, node2.example.com" REDHAT-CLUSTER-MIB::rhcClusterAvailNodesNum.0 = INTEGER: 2 REDHAT-CLUSTER-MIB::rhcClusterAvailNodesNames.0 = STRING: "node1.example.com, node2.example.com" REDHAT-CLUSTER-MIB::rhcClusterUnavailNodesNum.0 = INTEGER: 0 REDHAT-CLUSTER-MIB::rhcClusterUnavailNodesNames.0 = "" REDHAT-CLUSTER-MIB::rhcClusterServicesNum.0 = INTEGER: 1 REDHAT-CLUSTER-MIB::rhcClusterServicesNames.0 = STRING: "MailServer" REDHAT-CLUSTER-MIB::rhcClusterRunningServicesNum.0 = INTEGER: 1 REDHAT-CLUSTER-MIB::rhcClusterRunningServicesNames.0 = STRING: "MailServer" REDHAT-CLUSTER-MIB::rhcClusterStoppedServicesNum.0 = INTEGER: 0 REDHAT-CLUSTER-MIB::rhcClusterStoppedServicesNames.0 = "" REDHAT-CLUSTER-MIB::rhcClusterFailedServicesNum.0 = INTEGER: 0 REDHAT-CLUSTER-MIB::rhcClusterFailedServicesNames.0 = "" REDHAT-CLUSTER-MIB::rhcNodeName."node1.example.com" = STRING: "node1.example.com" REDHAT-CLUSTER-MIB::rhcNodeName."node2.example.com" = STRING: "node2.example.com" REDHAT-CLUSTER-MIB::rhcNodeStatusCode."node1.example.com" = INTEGER: 0 REDHAT-CLUSTER-MIB::rhcNodeStatusCode."node2.example.com" = INTEGER: 0 REDHAT-CLUSTER-MIB::rhcNodeStatusDesc."node1.example.com" = STRING: "Participating in cluster" REDHAT-CLUSTER-MIB::rhcNodeStatusDesc."node2.example.com" = STRING: "Participating in cluster" REDHAT-CLUSTER-MIB::rhcNodeRunningServicesNum."node1.example.com" = INTEGER: 1 REDHAT-CLUSTER-MIB::rhcNodeRunningServicesNum."node2.example.com" = INTEGER: 0 REDHAT-CLUSTER-MIB::rhcNodeRunningServicesNames."node1.example.com" = STRING: "MailServer" REDHAT-CLUSTER-MIB::rhcNodeRunningServicesNames."node2.example.com" = "" REDHAT-CLUSTER-MIB::rhcServiceName."MailServer" = STRING: "MailServer" REDHAT-CLUSTER-MIB::rhcServiceStatusCode."MailServer" = INTEGER: 0 REDHAT-CLUSTER-MIB::rhcServiceStatusDesc."MailServer" = STRING: "running" REDHAT-CLUSTER-MIB::rhcServiceStartMode."MailServer" = STRING: "automatic" REDHAT-CLUSTER-MIB::rhcServiceRunningOnNode."MailServer" = STRING: "node1.example.com"

You are now provided with very interesting information, like : REDHAT-CLUSTER-MIB::rhcClusterStatusDesc REDHAT-CLUSTER-MIB::rhcServiceRunningOnNode
