Configuring the SNMP protocol connection

You can send information about hard drive, CPU, and RAM load on Central Node and Sensor servers to external systems that support the SNMP protocol. To do so, you must configure the connection for the protocol.

To configure the SNMP protocol connection on the Central Node server:

1. In the window of the program web interface, select the Settings section, General settings subsection.
2. Under SNMP, select the Use SNMP check box.
3. In the Protocol version field, select a protocol version:
   • v2c.
   • v3.
4. If you select the v2c protocol version, in the Community string field, enter the password that will be used for connecting to Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform.
5. If you select v3:
   1. In the Authentication protocol field, select one of the following options for checking the accuracy and integrity of data sent to the external system:
      • MD5.
      • SHA256.
   2. In the User name field, enter the user name.
   3. In the Password field, enter the password for authentication.

      User name and password configured in the User name and Password fields must match the user name and password configured when creating the account in the external system. If the credentials do not match, the connection cannot be established.

   4. In the Privacy protocol field, select an encryption type:
      • DES.
      • AES.
   5. In the Password field, enter the encryption password.

      The password configured in this field must match the password configured in the external system.

Protocol connection on the Central Node server is configured. If the request for data is successfully processed, the server of the external system displays information about hard drive, CPU, and RAM load of the Central Node server.

To configure the SNMP protocol connection on the Sensor server:

1. Enter the management console of the Sensor server via the SSH protocol or through a terminal.
2. When the system prompts you, enter the administrator user name and the password that was specified during installation of the program.

   The program component administrator menu is displayed.

3. Follow steps 2 through 5 of the instructions above.

Protocol connection on the Sensor server is configured. If the request is successfully processed, the server of the external system displays information about hard drive, CPU, and RAM load of the Sensor server.

In distributed solution and multitenancy mode, SNMP connection settings for each PCN, SCN, and Sensor server must be configured separately.
