You can use SNMP to monitor the status of Director Console components using OIDs. Director Console supports both SNMPv2 and SNMPv3 protocol.
Director Console uses 1.3.6.1.4.1.54322.2 as the base OID to get a list of the exposed OIDs and their corresponding information. You can also use the OID of the individual system components and services in Director Console to retrieve their status.
To monitor Director Console components, open UDP port 161 and connect to SNMP. For details on how to open a port in the Director setup, go here.
Warning
Both SNMPv2 and SNMPv3 are enabled by default to localhost. Before exposing the SNMP to UDP port 161, change the default credentials to ensure system security.
Syntax for snmpwalk via SNMPv2

Here, <community-string> is public by default.

legacy-snmp disable
Syntax for snmpwalk via SNMPv3
snmpwalk -v3 -u <user name> -l authPriv -a MD5 -A <user password> -x DES -X <DES key> <api_server_ip> .OID
Here, <DES key> is 5nMpvEenC^pt and <user password> is changeme by default.
Changing Key

The key must be at least eight characters long. Only uppercases, lowercases, numbers, and symbols except space are accepted.
