To install the Master Agent and Sub Agent on Linux, no manual steps are required.
All packages necessary to monitor Access Manager are automatically installed during upgrade or installation. Administration Console is automatically installed and configured as the Master Agent and the Sub Agents are in turn registered with Administration Console for monitoring.
In the opt/novell/devman/share/conf/platform.conf file, traverse to the vcdn module for SNMP. In <stringParam name="enable" value="false", replace false with true and save the file using :wq!.
This enables monitoring between Access Manager devices.
The vcdn module also contains port details. If needed, you can configure the Master Agent to listen on a different port or IP address. The default port is TCP 705.
In the snmp-master-agent.conf file, change the community name. The default name is netiq. Changing the community name is recommended for security purpose.
Start the Master Agent by using the /etc/init.d/novell-snmpd start command.
If you want to start SNMP automatically after booting the server, perform the following steps:
Start YaST.
Navigate to System > System Services (Run Level) (On SLES 11 SP4).
Or
Navigate to System > Services Manager (On SLES 12 SP2).
Traverse to novell-snmpd, then press F3 to enable SNMP.
Restart Administration Console using /etc/init.d/novell-ac restart command for the changes to take effect.
If you encounter any errors while enabling monitoring, review the platform.0.log file available in the /var/opt/novell/nam/logs/adminconsole/volera folder.
