Monitoring a process with its pid

[Jatin Davey]

Hi Narsimha

Please find the detailed steps as below:

1. Install the snmpd daemon on the target machine that you want to 
monitor , use yum to install it. command is : yum install net-snmp

2. Open the file snmpd.conf from the directory /etc/snmp , you need to 
locate for the lines as below :

view    systemview    included   .1.3.6.1.2.1.1
view    systemview    included   .1.3.6.1.2.1.25

The second line as above is normally like: "view   systemview   
included   .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.1" , you have to edit it to : 
.1.3.6.1.2.1.25 so that you can query the entire HOST-RESOURCES-MIB.

3. Re-start the snmpd daemon using the command : "service snmpd restart" 
and you are good to start monitoring it.

Rest of the steps remain the same as mentioned in the mail thread below.

Thanks
Jatin
