Error description
Clarify Agentless configuration step required for RedHat. The documentation at this link: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSTFXA_6.3.0.2/co m.ibm.itm.doc_6.3/agleslinux/fac_config_agent_specific.htm says the following: The Agentless Monitor for Linux uses the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to remotely collect metrics from the operating system. SNMP Version 1, SNMP Version 2c, or SNMP Version 3 can be used, depending on the configuration of the Linux operating system. 1. On SuSE Linux Enterprise version 9 remote systems, Service Pack 3 or later (provides net-snmp-5.1-80.22.rpm or later) is required to correctly collect memory statistics. 2. For Red Hat operating systems, the /etc/snmpd.conf must be modified to allow the Host Resources MIB and ucdavis MIB to be viewed by all users. 3. Add the following system views to the SNMP configuration: view systemview included .1.3.6.1.2.1.25 view systemview included .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021 The following changes should be made and are valid across versions of the Agentless Monitoring agent. a. For step #2 above, the snmpd.conf is located in the /etc/snmp directory. b. Step #3 is really part of Step #2. c. In addition the following line should be added for the Network attribute group. view systemview included .1.3.6.1.2.1.2

Problem conclusion
The documentation at this link: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSTFXA_6.3.0.2/co m.ibm.itm.doc_6.3/agleslinux/fac_config_agent_specific.htm needs to say the following: The Agentless Monitor for Linux uses the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to remotely collect metrics from the operating system. SNMP Version 1, SNMP Version 2c, or SNMP Version 3 can be used, depending on the configuration of the Linux operating system. 1. On SuSE Linux Enterprise version 9 remote systems, Service Pack 3 or later (provides net-snmp-5.1-80.22.rpm or later) is required to correctly collect memory statistics. 2. For Red Hat operating systems, the /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf must be modified to allow the Host Resources MIB and ucdavis MIB to be viewed by all users. The following system view lines need to be added to the snmpd.conf file to allow the MIB values to be retrieved by the Agentless Monitoring agent. view systemview included .1.3.6.1.2.1.25 view systemview included .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021 view systemview included .1.3.6.1.2.1.2
