Hi MRTG team:
Thanks for taking a few mins to read this. So I made it past the Pod::Usage
module compile/install.
My next step moving forward is to use cfgmaker, which at first I got errors
(which may be my problem with indexmaker), but it generated the file. Now to
use indexmaker, and I'm getting the following error message:
Use of uninitialized value $first in hash element at
/Users/xyzcorp/Downloads/mrtg-2.16.3/bin/indexmaker line 353.
this is the line # 353 --- my $host = $$rcfg{host}{$first};
I've looked at 3 or 4 sample snmpd.conf files and made sure mine followed the
best practices I saw
I can't do an SNMPWALK though
snmpwalk -v 1 -c public localhost systemSNMPv2-MIB::sysContact.0 = STRING:
Administrator [email protected]
End of MIB
or...
WebServer root# snmpwalk -v 1 -c public localhost IP-MIB::ipAdEntIfIndex
End of MIB
I am just nearing a deadline and am struggling with this setup. Thank you very
much for looking at my problem
