  • SNMP Trap - Firewall Rules
    SNMP Trap - Firewall Rules Article Number: 87 | Rating: 1/5 from 1 votes | Last Updated: Wed, Jan 13, 2021 at 4:42 PM Fir e wall Rule s These steps explain how to check if the Operating System (OS) of the Nagios server has firewall rules enabled to allow inbound SNMP Trap UDP port 162 traffic. The different supported OS's have different firewall commands which are explained as follows. You will need to establish an SSH session to the Nagios server that is receiving SNMP Traps. RHEL 7/8 | C e nt O S 7/8 | O r ac le Linux 7/8 First check the status of the firewall: systemctl status firewalld.service IF the firewall is running , it should product output like: ● firewalld.service - firewalld - dynamic firewall daemon Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/firewalld.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Tue 2018-11-20 10:05:15 AEDT; 1 weeks 0 days ago Docs: man:firewalld(1) Main PID: 647 (firewalld) CGroup: /system.slice/firewalld.service └─647 /usr/bin/python -Es /usr/sbin/firewalld --nofork --nopid IF the firewall is NO T running, it will produce this output: ● firewalld.service - firewalld - dynamic firewall daemon Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/firewalld.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: inactive (dead) since Tue 2018-11-27 14:11:34 AEDT; 965ms ago Docs: man:firewalld(1) Main PID: 647 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) If the firewall is NOT running, this means that inbound traffic is allowed.

  • Firewalld ↔ Iptables (Continued)
    firewalld ↔ iptables (continued) Or, better said as, Understanding Linux Firewall Changes and Tools A firewall evolution and system management process Presented to SLUUG By David Forrest August 9, 2017 Bio I am David Forrest, a businessman in the housing and construction materials industry. Always keen to use the open and supportable solution even if it means getting my hands dirty. I was there, I did that, I have the t-shirt. And, I'm retired so now I can work on the “bleeding edge” - so on to the testing kernel! Why tonight? Why should we switch to firewalld? I felt a continuation was in order to address the problems that are caused by the virtual world and the interaction of processes within today's machines. Our various distributions seem to be jumping to the systemd init setup as it appears to offer better administration control to Linux Kernel machines. Firewalld just one of many efforts to see the future. In recent years, operating system virtualization has taken the industry by storm. But I'm still on CentOS7 and it uses firewalld as its default firewall along with systemd https://wiki.debian.org/Debate/initsystem/systemd firewalld It's a daemon and a command line interface to all the backends! One can start it as a service with a default setup and change it dynamically with a command line or with the daemon using D-Bus or NetworkManager. And with the new nftables release, we'll be able to combine several rules in one rich rule. The firewalld Architecture Firewalld and nft Systems have also moved toward Software Defined Networking (SDN) and system density has increased.

  • Load Balancing for Heterogeneous Web Servers
    Load Balancing for Heterogeneous Web Servers Adam Pi´orkowski1, Aleksander Kempny2, Adrian Hajduk1, and Jacek Strzelczyk1 1 Department of Geoinfomatics and Applied Computer Science, AGH University of Science and Technology, Cracow, Poland {adam.piorkowski,jacek.strzelczyk}@agh.edu.pl http://www.agh.edu.pl 2 Adult Congenital and Valvular Heart Disease Center University of Muenster, Muenster, Germany [email protected] http://www.ukmuenster.de Abstract. A load balancing issue for heterogeneous web servers is de- scribed in this article. The review of algorithms and solutions is shown. The selected Internet service for on-line echocardiography training is presented. The independence of simultaneous requests for this server is proved. Results of experimental tests are presented3. Key words: load balancing, scalability, web server, minimum response time, throughput, on-line simulator 1 Introduction Modern web servers can handle millions of queries, although the performance of a single node is limited. Performance can be continuously increased, if the services are designed so that they can be scaled. The concept of scalability is closely related to load balancing. This technique has been used since the beginning of the first distributed systems, including rich client architecture. Most of the complex web systems use load balancing to improve performance, availability and security [1{4]. 2 Load Balancing in Cluster of web servers Clustering of web servers is a method of constructing scalable Internet services. The basic idea behind the construction of such a service is to set the relay server 3 This is the accepted version of: Piorkowski, A., Kempny, A., Hajduk, A., Strzelczyk, J.: Load Balancing for Heterogeneous Web Servers.

  • Linux Install and Configure Pound Reverse Proxy for Apache Http / Https Web Server 21/03/2011 15:17
    Linux install and configure pound reverse proxy for Apache http / https web server 21/03/2011 15:17 About Blog Forum Low graphics Shell Scripts RSS/Feed Flash Linux FAQ / Howtos Linux install and configure pound reverse proxy for Apache http / https web server by Vivek Gite on December 11, 2007 · 21 comments Q. How do I install and configure pound reverse proxy for Apache web sever under Debian Linux? A. Pound is a reverse-proxy load balancing server. It accepts requests from HTTP / HTTPS clients and distributes them to one or more Web servers. The HTTPS requests are decrypted and passed to the back- ends as plain HTTP. It will act as: a) Server load balancer b) Reverse proxy server c) Apache reverse proxy etc d) It can detects when a backend server fails or recovers, and bases its load balancing decisions on this information: if a backend server fails, it will not receive requests until it recovers e) It can decrypts https requests to http ones f) Rejects incorrect requests h) It can be used in a chroot environment (security feature) If more than one back-end server is defined, Pound chooses one of them randomly, based on defined priorities. By default, Pound keeps track of associations between clients and back-end servers (sessions). Install Pound Software Type the following command to install pound: $ sudo apt-get install pound If you are using RHEL / CentOS, grab pound rpm here and type the command: # rpm -ivh pound* If you are using FreeBSD, enter: # cd /usr/ports/www/pound/ && make install clean How it works? Let us assume your public IP address 202.54.1.5.

  • Key Configurations and Some Apis
    APPENDIX A Key Configurations and Some APIs THIS APPENDIX CONTAINS some of the key development configurations for Zope, Plone, and Python. This appendix provides information for developers of sites, and it also lists some ofthe most usefulApplication Programming Interfaces (APIs). Setting Up Your Environment The following sections relate to configuring your development or production environment for optimal usage. If you're developing a lot with Plone, I rec­ ommend these settings. Setting Up PYTHONPATH Setting up PYTHONPATH is extremely useful because it allows you to easily access all the Zope functionality from a Python prompt. You can easily test if you have this set up-you can just attempt to import the PageTemplate module from Products. If this isn't set up, you should see the following: $ python -c "import Products.PageTemplates" Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in ? ImportError: No module named Products.PageTemplates Unix} Linux} and Mac OS X First, find the Products directory of your Zope installation (not the instance horne). On the standard installation, this is at /opt/Zope- 2.7 /lib/python; on Windows it's at c: \Program Files\Plone\Zope\lib\python. When Python starts, it reads an envi­ ronmentvariable called PYTHONPATH and puts all those directories in thatvariable into the search path for new modules. So you need to add your directory to that variable. 465 AppendixA You do this using the export command, to see if PYTHONPATH contains anything initially, run the following: $ export I grep PYTHONPATH declare -x PYTHONPATH="/home/andy/modules" In my case, I already have an environment variable called PYTHONPATH, although chances are your computer won't have this set up.
