New Relic Infrastructure Integration for SNMP

New Relic Infrastructure Integration for SNMP captures critical performance metrics and inventory reported by an SNMP server.

Metrics data is obtained by making SNMP GET requests for configured list of OIDs and SNMP walk requests for the configured list of SNMP tables.

See our documentation web site for more details.

Usage

This is the description about how to run the SNMP Integration with New Relic Infrastructure agent, so it is required to have the agent installed (see agent installation).

In order to use the SNMP Integration it is required to configure snmp-config.yml file. Depending on your needs, specify all instances that you want to monitor with correct arguments.

Integration development usage

Assuming that you have the source code and Go tool installed you can build and run the SNMP Integration locally.

After cloning this repository, go to the directory of the SNMP Integration and build it

$ make

The command above will execute the tests for the SNMP Integration and build an executable file called nri-snmp under bin directory. Run nri-snmp:

$ ./bin/nri-snmp

If you want to know more about usage of ./bin/nri-snmp check

$ ./bin/nri-snmp -help

For managing external dependencies govendor tool is used. It is required to lock all external dependencies to specific version (if possible) into vendor directory.
