That guide passes the --prefix and --exec-prefix flags to `make install`. It is better to pass them to the configure script. Also, you probably want to make sure you have --with-mib-modules=host. I believe this is default behavior, you can use `./configure --help | more` to check the defaults. > that is obviously for some other Monitoring product but the > steps to get net-snmp running must be the same(?). Generally speaking, yes, provided you want to monitor the same information. The agent neither knows now cares which manager asks for data, it's all SNMP. > That all went fine and I ended up with snmpd.conf like this: > > > ############################################################## > ############# > # SECTION: Access Control Setup > # > # This section defines who is allowed to talk to your running > # snmp agent. > # rwcommunity: a SNMPv1/SNMPv2c read-write access community name > # arguments: community [default|hostname|network/bits] [oid] > rwcommunity public > agentaddress tcp:161 > syslocation Fleet > syscontact DanTse > inculdeAllDisks > proc httpd If a highly insecure config is acceptable, this should be good. > I also edited the service file to contain the snmp tcp ports.

That's probably the one you built. I'm not sure that make install accepts the --prefix flag. > That starts fine and I can see it in the process list but > when I try to get to it from my monitoring station (IPSwitch > Whats Up Gold) it just times out (no firewall in between). Get to it? Try this from a commandline with ${bindir} (${prefix}/bin) in your PATH: $ snmpgetnext -v 1 -c public localhost .1.3 If that times out, try using the hostname instead of localhost. > Once I have this done and can poll CPU/MEMORY etc. I start > worrying about integrating the Oracle SUB-AGENT but I first > need to get this going :-) > > I have also no idea how these mailing list things work (is > there no forum for net-snmp?), if someone is so kind to help > me, could you send your answer to [EMAIL PROTECTED] please? You have joined the mailing list, right? Many things we routinely discuss will be of great interest to you at this stage of your learning.
