Installation guide

The remote program will need to output some iteration of the following code to STDOUT :
<perldata> <hash> <item
key="data">10</item> <item
key="status_message">status message here</item>
</hash> </perldata>
The required value for data is the data point to be inserted in the database for time-series trending.
The status_m essage is optional and can be whatever text string is desired with a maximum length of
1024 bytes. Remote programs that do not include a status_m essage still report the value and status
returned.
Requirements - T he Red Hat Network monitoring daemon (rhnm d) must be running on the monitored
system to execute this probe. XML is case-sensitive. T he data item key name cannot be changed and it
must collect a number as its value.

A.4.3. General::SNMP Check
The General::SNMP Check probe tests your SNMP server by specifying a single object identifier (OID) in
dotted notation (such as 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0) and a threshold associated with the return value. It
collects the following metric:
Remote Service Latency - The time it takes in seconds for the SNMP server to answer a connection
request.
Requirements - SNMP must be running on the monitored system to perform this probe. Only integers
can be used for the threshold values.
This probe's transport protocol is User Datagram Protocol (UDP).
