Ceph's SNMP integration focuses on forwarding alerts from it's Prometheus Alertmanager +cluster to a gateway daemon. The gateway daemon, transforms the alert into an SNMP Notification and sends +it on to a designated SNMP management platform. The gateway daemon is from the snmp_notifier_ project, +which provides SNMP V2c and V3 support (authentication and encryption). + +Ceph's SNMP gateway service deploys one instance of the gateway by default. You may increase this +by providing placement information. However, bear in mind that if you enable multiple SNMP gateway daemons, +your SNMP management platform will receive multiple notifications for the same event. + +.. _SNMP: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Network_Management_Protocol +.. _snmp_notifier: https://github.com/maxwo/snmp_notifier + +Compatibility +============= +The table below shows the SNMP versions that are supported by the gateway implementation + +================ =========== =============================================== + SNMP Version Supported Notes +================ =========== =============================================== + V1 ❌ Not supported by snmp_notifier + V2c ✔ + V3 authNoPriv ✔ uses username/password authentication, without + encryption (NoPriv = no privacy) + V3 authPriv ✔ uses username/password authentication with + encryption to the SNMP management platform +================ =========== =============================================== + + +Deploying an SNMP Gateway +========================= +Both SNMP V2c and V3 provide credentials support. In the case of V2c, this is just the community string - but for V3 +environments you must provide additional authentication information. These credentials are not supported on the command +line when deploying the service. Instead, you must create the service using a credentials file (in yaml format), or +specify the complete service definition in a yaml file. + +Command format +-------------- + +.. prompt:: bash # + + ceph orch apply snmp-gateway [] [] [] [] [] ... + + +Usage Notes + +- you must supply the ``--snmp-version`` parameter +- the ``--destination`` parameter must be of the format hostname:port (no default) +- you may omit ``--port``.
