I've spent the better part of this week learning, and researching how to configure my environment (RedHat/CentOS) in SolarWinds Orion. There are a few things I can't seem to figure out. All my work has been through the browser based management portal (host/Orion/SummaryView.aspx). I do not have access to the actual windows based management application yet, which may be the root of my problem.
First, let me clear some basic information;
snmp is configured and working on my linux hosts, snmpwalk is successful, snmpdf from a remote host (linux to linux) is successful, the host is configured and shown in the Orion browser and self tests are successful. From this I can confirm snmp communication between Orion and the host is working.
Examples:
(local test)
[yaddayadda@hostname-02 snmp]$ snmpwalk -v1 -cpublickey localhost 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.13.15.1
UCD-DISKIO-MIB::diskIOIndex.1 = INTEGER: 1
UCD-DISKIO-MIB::diskIOIndex.2 = INTEGER: 2
UCD-DISKIO-MIB::diskIOIndex.3 = INTEGER: 3
UCD-DISKIO-MIB::diskIOIndex.4 = INTEGER: 4
UCD-DISKIO-MIB::diskIOIndex.5 = INTEGER: 5
UCD-DISKIO-MIB::diskIOIndex.6 = INTEGER: 6
UCD-DISKIO-MIB::diskIOIndex.7 = INTEGER: 7
UCD-DISKIO-MIB::diskIOIndex.8 = INTEGER: 8
(lots of additional omitted output) ...
(server to server):
[yaddayadda@hostname-01 ~]$ snmpdf -v 1 -cpublickey -Cu 128.12.8.128

Lets just focus on disk space monitoring, if I can get that working, the rest will follow. If I go into the browser management tool, navigate to "Manage nodes", I can click on "net-snmp" and see my linux hosts. By opening the "+" sign next to one of the hosts listed, I can see the file systems specific to this host it is monitoring. This is all good, except it does not allow me to uniquely configure them beyond showing they are being monitored. NOTE: During the initial "Add Node" steps, it displays more file system options, I selected the meaningful ones and they are what I see being monitored.
What I need is;
Disk Space monitoring specific to the configured host. This goes into thresholds, who receives the email alerting, etc. One host may require critical alerting at 95% capacity, while another at 85%, and respectively email different groups. From the browser based tool, I can not seem to figure out where to configure this.
I have spent a good deal of time with the search function, and have found some helpful tidbits, but nothing that really helped me get the results I am looking for.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thank you!
