Resolution
When an administrator queries the replicationStatus on a primary instance, an additional value or parameter can be added to the OID; for example, SNMP OID .1.3.6.1.4.1.2197.20.21.1.5.0 for the primary instance or SNMP OID .1.3.6.1.4.1.2197.20.21.1.5.1, for the replica instance.
Following is an example of an snmpwalk done on a primary instance:
rsaadmin@app81p:~> snmpwalk -v 3 -u snmpuser -l authPriv -a MD5 -x DES -A "Password01." -X "Password01." 127.0.0.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.2197.20.21.1.5.0 RFC1155-SMI::enterprises.2197.20.21.1.5.0 = STRING: "HEALTHY" rsaadmin@app81p:~> snmpwalk -v 3 -u snmpuser -l authPriv -a MD5 -x DES -A "Password01." -X "Password01." 127.0.0.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.2197.20.21.1.5.1 RFC1155-SMI::enterprises.2197.20.21.1.5.1 = STRING: "HEALTHY"
An administrator would query the replica instance with one OID value to return the value of replicationStatus for example, using SNMP OID .1.3.6.1.4.1.2197.20.21.1.5.0.
Following is an example of an snmpwalk done on a replica instance:
rsaadmin@app81r:~> snmpwalk -v 3 -u snmpuser -l authPriv -a MD5 -x DES -A "Password01." -X "Password01." 127.0.0.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.2197.20.21.1.5.0 RFC1155-SMI::enterprises.2197.20.21.1.5.0 = STRING: "HEALTHY"
The syntax of the snmpwalk command is
snmpwalk -v 3 -u <Security Name> -l <Security Level> -a <Authentication Protocol> -x <Privacy Protocol> -A <Authentication Password> -X <Privacy Password> <hostname/IP address> <OID value>
The values in the snmpwalk command were configured in the Security Console.
- Navigate to Setup > System Settings.
- Under Advanced Settings, select Network Monitoring (SNMP).
- Select the primary or replica for the Instance Type.
- Click Next.
