Please do share your progress Dan. I am also very interested in getting SNMP
and Zabbix working together.
Kind regards

Subject: Re: [Astlinux-users] Path to snmp.conf?
Good morning Lonnie,
What a pleasant surprise. Thank you, yet again, for lending such a
capable, helping hand.
I'm excited about the prospect of getting SNMP running. It is hoped to
provide some valuable statistics and diagnostics for several AstLinux
installations.
Part of my goal is to learn more about SNMP and Zabbix, both of which
are new to me. What I've seen thus far, while monitoring servers,
routers, switches, and printers at work, is quite cool and useful.
Expanding this capability to Asterisk would be fantastic.
I have the Build Engine busily baking r6073 this morning. While it's in
the oven, I'll review the path and symlink information kindly provided
by you and James Babiak so that I can hit the ground running.
I'll keep everyone posted on the results.
Thanks again for all that you do. (You too, James.)
Dan
