[-- Attachment #1 --] I use a slightly modified snmp.conf for security reasons. However, you should be able to use snmpd and MRTG out of the box just fine. Attached is my snmpd.conf with some modifications. You'll want to play with the IP address permit range, and "mycomm". I also add some processes to monitor as well as diskspace.

If, however, you want # to use it, it should be placed in /usr/local/share/snmp/snmpd.conf. # When the snmpd agent starts up, this is where it will look for it. # # Note: This file is automatically generated from EXAMPLE.conf.def. # Do NOT read the EXAMPLE.conf.def file! Instead, after you have run # configure & make, and then make sure you read the EXAMPLE.conf file # instead, as it will tailor itself to your configuration. # All lines beginning with a '#' are comments and are intended for you # to read. All other lines are configuration commands for the agent. # # PLEASE: read the snmpd.conf(5) manual page as well! # ############################################################################### # Access Control ############################################################################### # YOU SHOULD CHANGE THE "COMMUNITY" TOKEN BELOW TO A NEW KEYWORD ONLY # KNOWN AT YOUR SITE. YOU *MUST* CHANGE THE NETWORK TOKEN BELOW TO # SOMETHING REFLECTING YOUR LOCAL NETWORK ADDRESS SPACE. # By far, the most common question I get about the agent is "why won't # it work?", when really it should be "how do I configure the agent to # allow me to access it?" # # By default, the agent responds to the "public" community for read # only access, if run out of the box without any configuration file in # place. The following examples show you other ways of configuring # the agent so that you can change the community names, and give # yourself write access as well. # # The following lines change the access permissions of the agent so # that the COMMUNITY string provides read-only access to your entire # NETWORK (EG: 10.10.10.0/24), and read/write access to only the # localhost (127.0.0.1, not its real ipaddress). # # For more information, read the FAQ as well as the snmpd.conf(5) # manual page. #### # First, map the community name (COMMUNITY) into a security name # (local and mynetwork, depending on where the request is coming # from): # sec.name source community com2sec local localhost public com2sec localrw localhost mycomm com2sec mynetwork 192.168.100.0/24 public com2sec mynetworkrw 192.168.100.0/24 mycomm #### # Second, map the security names into group names: # sec.model sec.name group LocalRWGroup v1 localrw group LocalRWGroup v2c localrw group LocalRWGroup usm localrw group LocalROGroup v1 local group LocalROGroup v2c local group LocalROGroup usm local group NetROGroup v1 mynetwork group NetROGroup v2c mynetwork group NetROGroup usm mynetwork group NetRWGroup v1 mynetworkrw group NetRWGroup v2c mynetworkrw group NetRWGroup usm mynetworkrw #### # Third, create a view for us to let the groups have rights to: # incl/excl subtree mask view all included .1 80 #### # Finally, grant the 2 groups access to the 1 view with different # write permissions: # context sec.model sec.level match read write notif access LocalROGroup "" any noauth exact all none none access LocalRWGroup "" any noauth exact all all none access NetROGroup "" any noauth exact all none none access NetRWGroup "" any noauth exact all all none # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ############################################################################### # System contact information # # It is also possible to set the sysContact and sysLocation system # variables through the snmpd.conf file: syslocation Right Here syscontact Joe Clarke # Example output of snmpwalk: # % snmpwalk -v 1 localhost public system # system.sysDescr.0 = "SunOS name sun4c" # system.sysObjectID.0 = OID: enterprises.ucdavis.ucdSnmpAgent.sunos4 # system.sysUpTime.0 = Timeticks: (595637548) 68 days, 22:32:55 # system.sysContact.0 = "Me <me@somewhere.org>" # system.sysName.0 = "name" # system.sysLocation.0 = "Right here, right now." # system.sysServices.0 = 72 # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ############################################################################### # Process checks. # # The following are examples of how to use the agent to check for # processes running on the host. The syntax looks something like: # # proc NAME [MAX=0] [MIN=0] # # NAME: the name of the process to check for. It must match # exactly (ie, http will not find httpd processes). # MAX: the maximum number allowed to be running. Defaults to 0. # MIN: the minimum number to be running. Defaults to 0. # # Examples: # # Make sure mountd is running proc inetd # Make sure at least one sendmail, but less than or equal to 10 are running. proc sendmail 10 1 # A snmpwalk of the process mib tree would look something like this: # # % snmpwalk -v 1 localhost public .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.2 # enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prIndex.1 = 1 # enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prIndex.2 = 2 # enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prIndex.3 = 3 # enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prNames.1 = "mountd" # enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prNames.2 = "ntalkd" # enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prNames.3 = "sendmail" # enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prMin.1 = 0 # enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prMin.2 = 0 # enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prMin.3 = 1 # enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prMax.1 = 0 # enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prMax.2 = 4 # enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prMax.3 = 10 # enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prCount.1 = 0 # enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prCount.2 = 0 # enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prCount.3 = 1 # enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prErrorFlag.1 = 1 # enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prErrorFlag.2 = 0 # enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prErrorFlag.3 = 0 # enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prErrMessage.1 = "No mountd process running." # enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prErrMessage.2 = "" # enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prErrMessage.3 = "" # enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prErrFix.1 = 0 # enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prErrFix.2 = 0 # enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prErrFix.3 = 0 # # Note that the errorFlag for mountd is set to 1 because one is not # running (in this case an rpc.mountd is, but thats not good enough), # and the ErrMessage tells you what's wrong.
