[CentOS-virt] SNMP monitoring
It seems it's not possible to monitor kvm virtual image network interfaces via SNMP. MRTG's cfgmaker says ### The following interface is commented out because: ### * has no ifSpeed property and other monitors are consistently reporting that vm's interfaces are exceeding traffic thresholds (even on lo ...). Which is no surprise if the threshold is zero. I found a hint on some Debian forum that this behaviour is caused by the virtio driver. So I was wondering, is it recommended or are there advantages to configuring one of the emulated drivers instead (ne2k_pci,i82551,i82557b, i82559er,rtl8139,e1000,pcnet)? Or can I fake it somehow in the vm's snmpd config? ___ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt
