SNMP/CIM monitoring of RHEV hypervisors?

Latest response

We just enabled the SNMP agent on our RHEV-H hypervisors, and pointed cacti at it. What we got out wasn't quite optimal.. some simple cpu/load graphs, and a gadzillion "anonymous" disk graphs :-)

Are anybody using any RHEV-M external tools to monitor the RHEV environment? I know they support both SNMP and CIM, but have no experience with CIM. Anybody have pointers to what can be done trough CIM?

Hello Jan-Frode,

At this time CIM capabilities in a RHEV environment are quite limited, basically to things like hardware discovery and VM status. It's read-only access. Some vendors, e.g. HP, IBM, have monitoring tools.

SNMP support is also at a similar point at this time. However Red Hat is planning to expand upon this in the future in order to provide more comprehensive alerts and event information. As such we would be very interested to hear what type of information you might like to see included.

So, if you could let us know then I will be happy to pass on whatever information you provide to our Engineering team.

Regards,
Gordon Watson.

Hello,

I am also interested in this topic. Did the development come any further with SNMP and/or CIM?
I would like to use Zabbix to monitor our RHEV-Hs.
Is there any additional documentation on which SNMP MIBs are supported?

I'm currently searching for this info as well. Why is google better at searching access.redhat.com than access.redhat.com is?
