ProFTPD module mod_snmp



The mod_snmp module implements SNMPv1 and SNMPv2, for monitoring of proftpd statistics via SNMP.

The mod_snmp module does not currently support:

The mod_snmp module is contained in the mod_snmp/ directory, is intended for ProFTPD 1.3.4rc3 and later, and is not compiled by default. Installation instructions are discussed here.

The most current version of mod_sftp is distributed with the ProFTPD source code.

Directives


SNMPAgent

Syntax: SNMPAgent master|agentx address[:port] ...
Default: None
Context: server config
Module: mod_snmp
Compatibility: 1.3.4rc3 and later

The SNMPAgent directive configures the mod_snmp module to act as a "master" SNMP agent/entity, or as an AgentX sub-agent. (Note that the AgentX capability is not currently implemented.)

The address parameter can be an IP address or a DNS name; this parameter configures the address/port on which mod_snmp will listen for UDP SNMP packets. By default, a port of 161 is assumed, use address:port to specify an alternate port, e.g.:

  SNMPAgent master localhost:1161
Note that IPv6 addresses should be enclosed in square brackets, as they can contain colons as well, e.g.:
  SNMPAgent master [::1]:1161

Multiple addresses can be supplied, allowing mod_snmp to listen on multiple addresses/ports simultaneously:

  SNMPAgent master 1.2.3.4:1161 [a::f]:2262

Note that the SNMPAgent directive is required.


SNMPCommunity

Syntax: SNMPCommunity community
Default: None
Context: server config
Module: mod_snmp
Compatibility: 1.3.4rc3 and later

The SNMPCommunity directive configures the community string (effectively a passphrase) used for authenticating SNMPv1 and SNMPv2 messages.

Note that the SNMPCommunity directive is required.


SNMPEngine

Syntax: SNMPEngine on|off
Default: off
Context: server config
Module: mod_snmp
Compatibility: 1.3.4rc3 and later

The SNMPEngine directive controls whether the mod_snmp will run as an SNMP agent, and handle SNMP messages.


SNMPLog

Syntax: SNMPLog file|"none"
Default: None
Context: server config
Module: mod_snmp
Compatibility: 1.3.4rc3 and later

The SNMPLog directive is used to specify a log file for mod_snmp's reporting. The file parameter given must be the full path to the file to use for logging.

Note that this path must not be to a world-writable directory and, unless AllowLogSymlinks is explicitly set to on (generally a bad idea), the path must not be a symbolic link.


SNMPNotify

Syntax: SNMPNotify address[:port]
Default: None
Context: server config, <VirtualHost>, <Global>
Module: mod_snmp
Compatibility: 1.3.4rc3 and later

The SNMPNotify directive is used to specify the address of any SNMP manager that should receive any notification (i.e. SNMPv2 trap) that mod_snmp can generated. Read here for more details on the types of notifications that mod_snmp supports.

The address parameter can be an IP address or DNS name. By default, a port number of 162 is assumed. To specify the port number, use:

  SNMPNotify address:port

Multiple SNMPNotify directives can be configured; mod_snmp will send notifications to all of them.


SNMPOptions

Syntax: SNMPOptions opt1 ...
Default: None
Context: server config
Module: mod_snmp
Compatibility: 1.3.4rc3 and later

The SNMPOptions directive is used to configure various optional behaviors of mod_snmp.

Example:

  SNMPOptions RestartClearsCounters

The currently implemented options are:


SNMPTables

Syntax: SNMPTables path
Default: None
Context: server config
Module: mod_snmp
Compatibility: 1.3.4rc3 and later

The SNMPTables directive is used to specify a directory that mod_snmp will use for storing its database files; these files are used for tracking the various statistics reported via SNMP.


Installation

The mod_snmp module is distributed with ProFTPD. For including mod_snmp as a statically linked module, use:
  $ ./configure --with-modules=mod_snmp ...
Alternatively, mod_snmp can be built as a DSO module:
  $ ./configure --enable-dso --with-shared=mod_snmp ...
Then follow the usual steps:
  $ make
  $ make install


Usage

Important Security Considerations
Do not configure mod_snmp to listen on a public Internet address. The information provided via mod_snmp can be used by attackers to gain more information about your running proftpd, including being able to determine whether their logins fail due to a wrong password (in which case, they know that that user name is valid) or not. It is highly recommended that you configure mod_snmp to only listen on internal/LAN addresses. Furthermore, you should employ a firewall rule that rejects any UDP packets from the public Internet to your proftpd instance.

SNMP Listening Process
When proftpd starts up with mod_snmp enabled, the mod_snmp module will fork a new process that acts as the SNMP agent, receiving and responding to all SNMP requests. This SNMP listening process automatically switches to the privileges configured by the User and Group directives, and will also automatically chroot itself to a subdirectory of the SNMPTables directory, after which all root privileges are permanently dropped.

Example Configuration
The mod_snmp module uses a UDP socket for listening for SNMP requests. Thus it does not require any separate <VirtualHost> sections, and does not interfere with the normal FTP operations.

Here is an example configuration for mod_snmp:

  <IfModule mod_snmp.c>
    SNMPEngine on
    SNMPLog /etc/proftpd/snmp/snmp.log

    # Configure the agent to listen on 1.2.3.4, port 161
    SNMPAgent master 1.2.3.4 161

    # Configure the SNMP community string
    SNMPCommunity MySnmpCommunity

    # Configure the directory that mod_snmp will use for its database files
    SNMPTables /var/proftpd/snmp
  </IfModule>

Access Controls for SNMP Messages
Since the SNMPv1/SNMPv2 does not have authentication of "users" as such, the normal user/group-based ACLs that can be configured in proftpd have no effect on SNMP messages.

In order to provide IP-based access control, then, the mod_snmp module supports a <Limit SNMP> section, like the following:

Example:

  <Limit SNMP>
    # Allow SNMP packets from 10.x.x.x and 127.0.0.1 addresses
    Allow from 10., 127.0.0.1
    DenyAll
  </Limit>
It is easy to spoof the source address for UDP packets, however. So it is far better (and more secure) to use a firewall to restrict which UDP packets can reach the mod_snmp address/port.

Logging
The mod_snmp module supports different forms of logging. The main module logging is done via the SNMPLog directive. For debugging purposes, the module also uses trace logging, via the module-specific log channels:

Thus for trace logging, to aid in debugging, you would use the following in your proftpd.conf:
  TraceLog /path/to/snmp-trace.log
  Trace snmp:20
This trace logging can generate large files; it is intended for debugging use only, and should be removed from any production configuration.

SNMP MIB
The MIB provided for proftpd is distributed with the mod_snmp module source code, and will be installed by default. It is contained in the "PROFTPD-MIB.txt" file, and uses SMIv2.

Suggested Future Features
The following lists the features I hope to add to mod_snmp, according to need, demand, inclination, and time:

Notifications
The mod_snmp module supports sending notifications (via SNMP traps) whenever certain events occur or conditions are met. Note that only SNMPv2 traps are generated; there is currently no support for SNMPv1 traps.

Currently supported notifications:

To enable notifications, simply configure the address of an SNMP manager that should be notified via the SNMPNotify directive.

Frequently Asked Questions
Question: How can I query the mod_snmp Agent process?
Answer: You can test if your proftpd supports SNMP with the snmpwalk program (snmpwalk is a part of the Net-SNMP project). Note that you have to specify the SNMP port, which in mod_snmp is configured via the SNMPAgent directive.

For example, you might try:

  # snmpwalk -m /path/to/PROFTPD-MIB.txt -v2c -Cc -c communitystring hostname:161 .1.3.6.1.4.1.17852.2.2
If it gives output like:
  enterprises.proftpd.modules.snmp.daemon.software = proftpd
  enterprises.proftpd.modules.snmp.daemon.softwareVersion = ProFTPD Version 1.3.4rc4 (built at Sat Oct 22 2011 11:50:38 PDT)
  enterprises.proftpd.modules.snmp.daemon.admin = root@127.0.0.1
or
  PROFTPD-MIB::software.0 = String: proftpd
  PROFTPD-MIB::softwareVersion.0 = STRING: ProFTPD Version 1.3.4rc4 (built at Sat Oct 22 2011 11:50:38 PDT)
  PROFTPD-MIB::admin.0 = STRING: root@127.0.0.1
or
  SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.17852.2.2.1.1.0 = STRING: "proftpd"
  SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.17852.2.2.1.2.0 = STRING: "ProFTPD Version 1.3.4rc4 (built at Sat Oct 22 2011 11:50:38 PDT)"
  SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.17852.2.2.1.3.0 = STRING: "root@127.0.0.1"
then your proftpd was compiled with the mod_snmp module and it is working properly; you should be able to make nice statistics out of it.

Question: Why doesn't the scp.scpDataTransfers arc have any directory listing counters/gauges, such as the ftp.dataTransfers and sftp.sftpDataTransfers arcs do?
Answer: The SCP protocol does not have the ability to get just a directory listing; the protocol only transfers files.
