Puppet Net-SNMP Module

master branch: develop branch:

Introduction

This module manages the installation of Net-SNMP client, server, and trap server. It also can create a SNMPv3 user with authentication and privacy passwords.

Actions:

• Installs the SNMP client package and configuration.
• Installs the SNMP daemon package, service, and configuration.
• Installs the SNMP trap daemon service and configuration.
• Creates a SNMPv3 user with authentication and encryption paswords.

OS Support:

• RedHat family - tested on CentOS 5.9 and CentOS 6.4
• SuSE family - tested on SLES 11 SP1
• Debian family - tested on Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS, Debian 6.0.7, and Debian 7.0

Class documentation is available via puppetdoc.

Examples

To install the SNMP service:

class { 'snmp':
  agentaddress => [ 'udp:161', ],
  ro_community => 'notpublic',
  ro_network   => '10.20.30.40/32',
  contact      => '[email protected]',
  location     => 'Phoenix, AZ',
}

To install the SNMP service and the client:

class { 'snmp':
  install_client => true,
  snmp_config    => [ 'defVersion 2c', 'defCommunity public', ],
}

If you just want to install the SNMP client:

class { 'snmp::client':
  snmp_config => [ 'mibdirs +/usr/local/share/snmp/mibs', ],
}

Only configure and run the snmptrap daemon:

class { 'snmp':
  snmptrapdaddr       => [ 'udp:162', ],
  ro_community        => 'SeCrEt',
  service_ensure      => 'stopped',
  trap_service_ensure => 'running',
  trap_service_enable => true,
  trap_handlers       => [
    'default /usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/traptoemail [email protected]',
    'TRAP-TEST-MIB::demo-trap /home/user/traptest.sh demo-trap',
  ],
  trap_forwards       => [ 'default udp:55.55.55.55:162' ],
}

To install a SNMP version 3 user for snmpd:

snmp::snmpv3_user { 'myuser':
  authpass => '1234auth',
  privpass => '5678priv',
}

To install a SNMP version 3 user for snmptrapd:

snmp::snmpv3_user { 'myuser':
  authpass => 'SeCrEt',
  privpass => 'PhRaSe',
  daemon   => 'snmptrapd',
}

Notes

• Only tested on CentOS 5.9, CentOS 6.4, Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS, Debian squeeze, and Debian wheezy x86_64.
• SNMPv3 user auth is not yet tested on Debian or Suse osfamilies.
• There is a bug on Debian squeeze of net-snmp's status script. If snmptrapd is not running the status script returns 'not running' so puppet restarts the snmpd service. The following is a workaround: class { 'snmp': service_hasstatus => false, trap_service_hasstatus => false, }
• For security reasons, the SNMP daemons are configured to listen on the loopback interface (127.0.0.1). Use agentaddress and snmptrapdaddr to change this configuration.

Issues

• Debian will not support the use of non-numeric OIDs. Something about rabid freedom.

TODO

• Figure out how to install the RFC-standard MIBS on Debian so that snmpwalk -v 2c -c public localhost system will function.
• Possibly support USM and VACM?

Deprecation Warning

The classes snmp::server and snmp::trapd will be merged into class snmp in version 3.0.0 of this module. All of their class parameters will be made available in the snmp class.
