The snmp 'file' in /etc is actually just a symlink to /tmp/etc/smnp,
which is supposed to be a directory containing the snmpd.conf file.
The included snmp init script runs snmpd using /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf as
the config file, which would actually be linked to the
/tmp/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf file. When the init script starts, it first
checks to see if there is a configuration directory in the image (ie:
/stat/etc/snmp), which I don't believe is the case unless you build it
into a custom image. It will then look to see if the directory
/mnt/kd/snmp exists, and if so, symlinks that to /tmp/etc/snmp. It's a
bit circular, but it works.
So if you want to enable snmpd, you will need to create a /mnt/kd/snmp
directory, and then put your config file (snmpd.conf) in there. This
way, when snmpd is executed, it will pull the config file like so:
/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf -> /tmp/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf -> /mnt/kd/snmp/snmpd.conf
So once you create the /mnt/kd/snmp directory and put your snmpd.conf
file in there, run:
service snmpd init
which will create the second symlink and should start the service.
You can also create a /mnt/kd/snmp/snmpd.options file that has the
daemon startup options, otherwise it defaults to "-LS0-4d -Lf /dev/null".
Keep in mind that the above instructions are simply how to get the
Astlinux snmpd paths configured and start the daemon. I've never
actually run it on my box, so I'm not sure how well (if at all) it works.

Hello everyone.
I'm tinkering around with Zabbix. While I'm successfully using the
Zabbix agent to monitor the machine, I'd also like to monitor certain
Asterisk parameters such as shown in this Zabbix Template
<http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+monitor+template+for+Zabbix>.
It looks like this is feasible using SNMP... That is, if I could just
get the SNMP daemon configured.
When I start the SNMP daemon, it complains that it can't find a
configuration file, snmpd.conf. I see that there's an empty "snmp"
file (in /mnt/kd/asterisk and /etc) but even if I save my
configuration settings in this file, the SNMP daemon doesn't appear to
read it.
What's the proper way to configure SNMP in AstLinux?
Thanks for any thoughts,
Dan
