Linux DHCP
Overview
Linux DHCP, the dynamic host configuration protocol service on Linux-based systems, seamlessly integrates with Motadata AIOps to provide comprehensive monitoring capabilities. With this integration, organizations gain real-time visibility into the performance and health of their DHCP servers. Monitor critical DHCP metrics such as lease activity, IP address allocation, and server response times to ensure efficient and reliable IP address management.
Prerequisites for Linux DHCP Integration with Motadata AIOps
Obtain the configuration file name and lease file name of the Linux DHCP server.
The credentials used to discover the Linux DHCP server should either have root access or the necessary privileges to access the configuration file name and lease file name on the Linux DHCP Server.
Ensure that the Linux DHCP service is active and running on the server.
Confirm that the Linux DHCP process and service are listed in the process and service monitor settings of Motadata AIOps. While these may be listed by default, verify that the names of the service and process match the specific Linux DHCP version that you intend to monitor.
By fulfilling these prerequisites, you can integrate Linux DHCP with Motadata AIOps and ensure effective monitoring and management of your DHCP server.
