Data Fields example: SNMP
|
||||
=========================
|
||||
|
||||
Ever wondered how to provide an easy to use SNMP configuration to your users?
|
||||
That's what we're going to show in this example. Once completed, all your Hosts
|
||||
inheriting a specific (or your "default") Host Template will provide an optional
|
||||
`SNMP version` field.
|
||||
|
||||
In case you choose no version, nothing special will happen. Otherwise, the host
|
||||
offers additional fields depending on the chosen version. `Community String` for
|
||||
`SNMPv1` and `SNMPv2c`, and five other fields ranging from `Authentication User`
|
||||
to `Auth` and `Priv` types and keys for `SNMPv3`.
|
||||
|
||||
Your services should now be applied not only based on various Host properties
|
||||
like `Device Type`, `Application`, `Customer` or similar - but also based on
|
||||
the fact whether credentials have been given or not.
|
||||
|
||||
Prepare required Data Fields
|
||||
----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
As we already have learned, `Fields` are what allows us to define which custom
|
||||
variables can or should be defined following which rules. We want SNMP version
|
||||
to be a drop-down, and that's why we first define a `Data List`, followed by
|
||||
a `Data Field` using that list:
|
||||
|
||||
### Create a new Data List
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Fill the new list with SNMP versions
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Create a corresponding Data Field
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Next, please also create the following elements:
|
||||
|
||||
* a list *SNMPv3 Auth Types* providing `MD5` and `AES`
|
||||
* a list *SNMPv3 Priv Types* providing at least `AES` and `DES`
|
||||
* a `String` type field `snmp_community` labelled *SNMP Community*
|
||||
* a `String` type field `snmpv3_user` labelled *SNMPv3 User*
|
||||
* a `String` type field `snmpv3_auth` labelled *SNMPv3 Auth* (authentication key)
|
||||
* a `String` type field `snmpv3_priv` labelled *SNMPv3 Priv* (encryption key)
|
||||
* a `Data List` type field `snmpv3_authprot` labelled *SNMPv3 Auth Type*
|
||||
* a `Data List` type field `snmpv3_privprot` labelled *SNMPv3 Priv Type*
|
||||
|
||||
Please do not forget to add meaningful descriptions, telling your users about
|
||||
in-house best practices.
