Prerequisites​

To monitor your Wallix Bastion, the SNMP must be configured. The Poller should be able to perform SNMP requests toward the Lenovo device over SNMP UDP/161 port.

Setup​

  1. Install the Centreon Plugin on every Poller:
yum install centreon-plugin-Applications-Wallix-Bastion-Snmp
  1. On the Centreon Web interface in Configuration > Monitoring Connector Manager, install the Wallix Bastion SNMP Pack

Host configuration​

  • Add a new Host and fill the IP Address/FQDN, SNMP Version and SNMP Community fields according to the application's configuration
  • Apply the App-Wallix-Bastion-SNMP-custom Host Template

When using SNMP v3, use the SNMPEXTRAOPTIONS Macro to add specific authentication parameters More information in the Troubleshooting SNMP section.

How to test the Plugin and what are the main options for?​

Once the plugin installed, log into your Centreon Poller CLI using the centreon-engine user account and test the Plugin by running the following command:

/usr/lib/centreon/plugins/centreon_wallix_bastion_snmp.pl \
--plugin=apps::wallix::bastion::snmp::plugin \
--mode=system \
--hostname=10.30.2.114 \
--snmp-version='2c' \
--snmp-community='wallix_ro' \
--verbose

Expected command output is shown below:

OK: system is ok | 'sessions.total.count'=13;;;0; 'sessions.primary.count'=7;;;0; 'sessions.secondary.count'=6;;;0; 'sessions.ghost.count'=0;;;0; 'requests.pending.count'=2;;;0;
checking system
services status: running
sessions total: 13 primary: 7 secondary: 6 ghost: 0
requests pending: 2

The command above monitors Wallix Bastion system (--plugin=apps::wallix::bastion::snmp::plugin --mode=system) identified by the IP address 10.30.2.114 (--hostname=10.30.2.114). As the Plugin is using the SNMP protocol to request the device, the related community and version are specified (--snmp-version='2c' --snmp-community='wallix_ro').

All the options as well as all the available thresholds can be displayed by adding the --help parameter to the command:

/usr/lib/centreon/plugins/centreon_wallix_bastion_snmp.pl \
--plugin=apps::wallix::bastion::snmp::plugin \
--mode=system \
--help
