In this video
I show you how to build a system to monitor your network devices for free
Here are the steps to do it
Step 1 download and install the virtualbox software
You download and install like other regular software
This is free software
Step 2
Download and install the windows server operating system
Visit youtube.com find
And download Ubuntu server
Next install Ubuntu server on the virtual machine you follow the step
Apps above
Virtualbox Bridge networking mode allows VM to connect to your router
You saved the account to use in the following steps
Note install the SSH server for later purposes
The installation is complete and here is your server ip address
You need to download and install putty to install zabbix on Ubuntu server
Enter the Ubuntu server's IP address here
Enter the account information you created during the installation of Ubuntu server
You need to create a password for the root account
Next visits Zabbix.com and follow the installation guide
You just need to copy and paste the commands as I am doing
So we have installed zabbix
The next step we will permanently assign an IP address to zabbix
To do this
Use the bind IP to Mac function on the router most types of Routers have this function
Installation is complete, add devices to the system
adding network devices
So how to monitor a computer with Windows 10 installed
And this is the way to monitor it
The simple Network
Management protocol SNMP that has accompanied it for decades is available on a large number of devices and solutions this is great because it's one of the most basic technology
for monitoring and other network management tasks open the settings on your Windows machine
Click apps choose manage optional features under apps and features
Click add a feature select simple Network management protocol SNMP from the list
Click install to enable SNMP on your computer
After installing the SNMP service configure it appropriately
So run Services.msc as administrator and navigate to the properties of the SNMP
Service
Choose automatic at startup type to have the service always running even after turning your computer
Off and ON again for monitoring purposes you should also check all services on the agent
To have all SNMP values available don't forget to adjust security parameters like the
Community string and the IP filter list to your security compliances for example had the
Unity name public with read-only rights and accept SNMP packets from at least the address of your monitoring server
That's it you have successfully configured SNMP on your Windows machine
And now I will add this computer to the network monitoring system
So
What about the router
Similar to Windows machine I enable SNMP on the router
And now I will add the router to the network monitoring system
You can now monitor information about your network devices including bandwidth memory
CPU Etc
Finally we create maps for your network devices
Hope this video will help you
