Hi Mostafa, which version of net-snmp are you using? In 5.8 you can use the "-c" option which works, but I also found a bug in it using the default paths
*# ./mysubagent -h * USAGE: ./mysubagent [OPTIONS] OPTIONS: -c FILE[,...] read FILE(s) as configuration file(s) -C do not read the default configuration files .... *# cat agentx.conf * [snmp] logTimestamp 1 agentXPingInterval 5 *# ./mysubagent -C -c agentx.conf -f -x /var/agentx/master * 2019-02-22 07:23:40 Warning: Failed to connect to the agentx master agent (/var/agentx/master): 2019-02-22 07:23:45 Warning: Failed to connect to the agentx master agent (/var/agentx/master): 2019-02-22 07:23:50 Warning: Failed to connect to the agentx master agent (/var/agentx/master): The name of the agentx config file can be agentx.conf or agentx.local.conf and it should be in one of this directories $HOME/.snmp /usr/etc/snmp /usr/lib/snmp /usr/share/snmp /var/lib/net-snmp or you can use the SNMPCONFPATH AND HERE comes the bug!! Using SNMPCONFPATH or the default path, you will get "Warning: Unknown token: agentXPingInterval." and the timeout will be set to the default value of 15. I will file a bug on this! *# SNMPCONFPATH=$PWD ./mysubagent -f -x /var/agentx/master* 2019-02-22 07:37:22 /root/snmp-test/agentx.conf: line 2: Warning: Unknown token: agentXPingInterval. 2019-02-22 07:37:22 Warning: Failed to connect to the agentx master agent (/var/agentx/master): 2019-02-22 07:37:37 Warning: Failed to connect to the agentx master agent (/var/agentx/master): *# cp agentx.conf $HOME/.snmp/* *# ./mysubagent -f -x /var/agentx/master* 2019-02-22 07:41:39 /root/.snmp/agentx.conf: line 2: Warning: Unknown token: agentXPingInterval. 2019-02-22 07:41:39 Warning: Failed to connect to the agentx master agent (/var/agentx/master): 2019-02-22 07:41:54 Warning: Failed to connect to the agentx master agent (/var/agentx/master): I will check 5.7.3 and be back with more information Regards Anders Wallin On Thu, Feb 21, 2019 at 10:43 PM Mostafa Kassem <mosta...@danlawinc.com> wrote: > Thank you for your reply, Anders. > > > > I created an agentx.conf file with this single line: > > > > agentxPingInterval 5 > > > > > > I tried putting agentx.conf into one the following directories to no avail: > > /var/agentx/ > > /var/snmp/ > > Var/net-snmp/ > > > > Where should the agentx.conf file go?
