How To Monitoring Linux KVM With SNMP On Ubuntu

The document describes how to monitor Linux KVM virtual machines using SNMP on Ubuntu. It involves installing required packages, cloning the libvirt-snmp git repository, building the SNMP subagent, configuring SNMP, and starting the subagent. This allows monitoring basic information about running KVMs via SNMP, including name, state, CPU/memory usage, and uptime.

How to monitoring Linux KVM with snmp

on ubuntu
Frist you must install git and other package with

# apt-get install git –y


# apt-get install libvirt-dev -y
# apt-get install snmp snmpd libsnmp-dev libsnmp-perl –y
# apt-get install automake –y
# apt-get install make -y

After install this you must get libvirt-snmp with git

# git clone git://libvirt.org/libvirt-snmp.git

After clone libvirt-snmp git to your computer you must change directory to libvirt-snmp

# cd libvirt-snmp

And run a shell script file in this directory

# ./autobuild.sh

If every thing is ok you must have a tbz package into bellow address

# ~/libvirt-snmp/build

Change directory ti this and copy it to home directory for compile and build

# cp build/libvirt-snmp-0.0.3.tar.gz /root/

And unzip your package

# cd
# tar xzvf libvirt-snmp-0.0.3.tar.gz

Now you can compile your libvirt-snmp

# cd libvirt-snmp-0.0.3/
# ./configure
# make
# make install

Check your installation with bellow command


# which libvirtMib_subagent

You see a similar out put

/usr/local/bin/libvirtMib_subagent

Configure SNMP

First check snmpd is install in your machine

# /etc/init.d/snmpd status

If your daemon is install and you have a snmpd.conf file in /etc/snmp. Give a backup from this and copy
bellow information and restart your snmp daemon

# cd /etc/snmp
# mv snmpd.conf snmpd.conf_bk
# nano snmpd.conf

com2sec notConfigUser default public


group notConfigGroup v1 notConfigUser
group notConfigGroup v2c notConfigUser
view systemview included .1
access notConfigGroup "" any noauth exact systemview systemview none
access MyRWGroup "" any noauth 0 all all all
syslocation Unknown (edit /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf)
syscontact Root <root@localhost> (configure /etc/snmp/snmp.local.conf)
dontLogTCPWrappersConnects yes
master agentx
agentX Socket /var/agentx/master
trap2sink localhost public

save your change and restart daemon

# /etc/init.d/snmpd restart

Now you must start libvirtMib_subagent

# LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI="qemu:///system" libvirtMib_subagent -f –L > /dev/null &


NET-SNMP version 5.4.3 AgentX subagent connected

After it you can check your snmp information with

# snmpbulkwalk -c public -v2c localhost . -m ALL | head -5

If command cann’t find MIB files first chack mib path


# net-snmp-config --default-mibdirs
/root/.snmp/mibs:/usr/share/mibs/site:/usr/share/snmp/mibs:/usr/share/mibs/iana:/usr
/share/mibs/ietf:/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp

Then run bellow command

# apt-get install -y snmp-mibs-downloader

After install it you must run bellow command and find your snmp OID and use it

# snmpbulkwalk -v 2c -c public localhost -OX libvirtMIB -m all
