- Version 0.2 (08/11/2006) : added SNMP version 3, "exec" and "proxy" directives
- Version 0.1 (08/10/2006) : intial release
This HowTo will explain how to install and configure the Net-SNMP agent. As the time of writing, the latest version available is 5.4.1.2 (published on 07/06/2008).
Chapter I: Getting Net-SNMP binaries
Depending on your operating system, you'll find packages or tarballs to install Net-SNMP :
- Linux
Usually every Linux distribution comes with Net-SNMP packages :
- RedHat / Fedora / CentOS : install the net-snmp, net-snmp-libs and net-snmp-utils packages
- Debian / Ubuntu: install the libsnmp-base, libsnmp5, snmp and snmpd packages
- SuSE : install the net-snmp package
- Gentoo : simply emerge the net-snmp ebuild.
To graph I/O usage, add this option to portage :
| Code: | | # echo "net-analyzer/net-snmp diskio" >> /etc/portage/package.use |
Mandriva : install the libnet-snmp5, net-snmp and net-snmp-utils packages.
AIX
Packages were available in the University of California repository, but it's no longer available.
You can find Net-SNMP 5.0.3 for AIX 5.1 on the Bull AIX freeware site.
Solaris
Solaris 10 ships with Net-SNMP 5.0.9
For older Solaris releases, packages are available in the Sunfreeware repository :
For these packages to work, OpenSSL and GCC libraries need to be installed also.
Tarballs are also available from the Net-SNMP main site :
These tarballs have to be extracted from / has they contain absolute paths.
Files are copied to /usr/local/share/snmp, /usr/local/libs, /usr/local/include/net-snmp, /usr/local/man, /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin
HP-UX
Tarballs are available from the Net-SNMP main site :
These tarballs have to be extracted from / has they contain absolute paths. Beware that the binaries are not stripped in these tarballs, this waste a lot space.
Files are copied to /usr/local/share/snmp, /usr/local/libs, /usr/local/include/net-snmp, /usr/local/man, /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin
FreeBSD
Net-SNMP is available through the ports
Mac OS X
Packages are available :
Chapter II: Building the Net-SNMP agent from sources
If you can't find binaries for your architecture, you can build the Net-SNMP agent from sources. Latest sources are available here.
Here's how to get the configure options of an already running Net-SNMP agent :
| Code: | $ snmpwalk -v 1 -c public localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.100.6.0
UCD-SNMP-MIB::versionConfigureOptions.0 = STRING: "'-disable-shared' '--with-mib-modules=host/hr_system'" |
Some useful mib modules are :
- mibII/mta_sendmail, to graph MTA (Sendmail, Postfix, etc.) statistics
- diskio, to enable to graph I/O statistics
- ucd-snmp/lmSensors, for hardware monitoring (Linux and Solaris only)
Mib modules can be added like this :
| Code: | | $ ./configure --with-mib-modules="module1 module2" |
To compile Net-SNMP and build a compressed archive, follow these steps :
| Code: | $ ./configure --with-your-options
$ make
# mkdir /usr/local/dist
# make install prefix=/usr/local/dist/usr/local exec_prefix=/usr/local/dist/usr/local
# cd /usr/local/dist
# tar cvf /tmp/net-snmp-5.3.1-dist.tar usr
# gzip /tmp/net-snmp-5.3.1-dist.tar
# rm -rf /usr/local/dist
|
You can then copy the /tmp/net-snmp-5.3.1-dist.tar.gz file to other servers, and uncompress it from the root directory (everything will get extracted to /usr/local).
Chapter III: Configuring the Net-SNMP agent
Depending on how you've installed Net-SNMP, the main configuration file (snmpd.conf) is located in /etc/snmp (installation from package) or /usr/local/share/snmp (installation from tarball).
Please note that you need to restart (or send the HUP signal) the snmpd daemon whenever you modify snmpd.conf !
The minimum configuration is this one :
This will enable SNMP version 1/2 read-only requests from any host, with the community name public.
With this minimal configuration, you'll be able to graph CPU usage, load average, network interfaces, memory / swap usage, logged in users and number of processes.
You can restrict from which hosts SNMP queries are allowed :
| Code: | rocommunity public 127.0.0.1
rocommunity test 87.65.43.21 |
By default Net-SNMP listens on UDP port 161 on all IPv4 interfaces.
With the following example, Net-SNMP will listen on UDP port 10000 on 10.20.30.40 IP address :
| Code: | | agentaddress 10.20.30.40:10000 |
You can also make it listens on TCP, which is supported by Cacti :
| Code: | | agentaddress tcp:161 |
The "tcp" keyword can then be used in Cacti :
For those who want some more security, you can use the SNMP version 3 protocol, with MD5 or SHA hashing :
| Code: | createUser frederic MD5 mypassphrase DES
group groupv3 usm frederic
view all included .iso 80
access groupv3 "" any auth exact all all all |
This creates a user "frederic" whose password is "mypassphrase". To test it :
| Code: | # snmpget -v 3 -l AuthNoPriv -u frederic -A mypassphrase 10.50.80.45 sysName.0
SNMPv2-MIB::sysName.0 = STRING: cyclopes |
In Cacti, add your device, choose SNMP version 3, and fill the username and password fields :
Now that you're done with access control, add these 2 lines in snmpd.conf to indicate the location and contact name of your device :
They will then appear in Cacti management interface :
Some OIDs return a unit, eg "-153 0.1 dBm".
It's a safe idea to turn this off, by adding this to snmpd.conf :
| Code: | | dontPrintUnits true |
Next step is to graph filesystems in Cacti; the easyest way is to add this line in snmpd.conf :
When you'll run the "ucd/net - Get Monitored Partitions" Data Query, all the mounted filesystems will show up :
If you want a filesystem not to be listed here, add this line to snmpd.conf :
| Code: | | ignoredisk /dev/rdsk/c0t2d0 |
Unfortunatly, some older versions of Net-SNMP do not fully work with the includeAllDisks keyword 
You'll then have to list explicitly all filesystems you want to graph :
| Code: | disk /
disk /usr
disk /var
disk /oracle |
You can also specify NFS mount points.
Please note that the Net-SNMP agent can only report filesystems which where mounted before its start.
If you manually mount filesystems later, you'll have to reload the Net-SNMP agent (send the HUP signal).
You can also graph processes, by adding this to snmpd.conf :
The result will be accessible under the ucdavis.prTable.prEntry tree :
- prCount, number of current processes running with the name in question
- prNames, the process name you're counting.
In our example, the number of Apache processes will be available under the .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.2.1.5 OID
Chapter IV: Test your configuration
Once Net-SNMP is configured and started, here's how to test it :
| Code: | $ snmpwalk -v 1 -c public localhost .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0
SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = STRING: Linux cronos 2.4.28 #2 SMP ven jan 14 14:12:01 CET 2005 i686 |
This basic query shows that your Net-SNMP agent is reachable.
You can even query which Net-SNMP version is running on a host :
| Code: | $ snmpwalk -v 1 -c public localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.100.2.0
UCD-SNMP-MIB::versionTag.0 = STRING: 5.2.1.2 |
An answer like that one
| Code: | $ snmpwalk -v 1 -c foo localhost .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0
Timeout: No Response from localhost |
indicates that either the agent is not started, or that the community string is incorrect, or that this device is unreachable.
Check your community string, add firewall rules if necessary, etc.
If using SNMP version 3, specifying an unknown user will result in this error message :
| Code: | $ snmpget -v 3 -l AuthNoPriv -u john -A mypassphrase 10.50.80.45 sysName.0
snmpget: Unknown user name |
An incorrect passphrase will result in this error message :
| Code: | $ snmpget -v 3 -l AuthNoPriv -u frederic -A badpassphrase 10.50.80.45 sysName.0
snmpget: Authentication failure (incorrect password, community or key) |
This query will show you what filesystems are mounted :
| Code: | $ snmpwalk -v 1 -c public localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.9.1.2
UCD-SNMP-MIB::dskPath.1 = STRING: /
UCD-SNMP-MIB::dskPath.2 = STRING: /BB
UCD-SNMP-MIB::dskPath.3 = STRING: /dev/shm |
If the answer is empty, usually it means the includeAllDisks is not supported by your Net-SNMP agent (you'll have to list each filesystem you want to graph as explained in previous chapter).
Finally, this query will you display your network interfaces :
| Code: | $ snmpwalk -v 1 -c public localhost .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2
IF-MIB::ifDescr.1 = STRING: lo
IF-MIB::ifDescr.2 = STRING: eth0
IF-MIB::ifDescr.3 = STRING: eth1 |
Chapter V: Extending the Net-SNMP agent
A great functionnality of Net-SNMP is that you can "extend" it.
Let's run the /tmp/foo.sh script :
| Code: | $ /tmp/foo.sh -arg1
123 |
Now put this in snmpd.conf :
| Code: | | exec foo /bin/sh /tmp/foo.sh -arg1 |
The result of your script will be accessible under the ucdavis.extTable.extEntry tree :
- output of the script : ucdavis.extTable.extEntry.extOutput
- exit status : ucdavis.extTable.extEntry.extResult
- command : ucdavis.extTable.extEntry.extCommand
You can check the result with this SNMP query :
| Code: | $ snmpwalk -v 1 -c public localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.8.1
UCD-SNMP-MIB::extIndex.1 = INTEGER: 1
UCD-SNMP-MIB::extNames.1 = STRING: foo
UCD-SNMP-MIB::extCommand.1 = STRING: /bin/sh /tmp/foo.sh -arg1
UCD-SNMP-MIB::extResult.1 = INTEGER: 0
UCD-SNMP-MIB::extOutput.1 = STRING: 123
UCD-SNMP-MIB::extErrFix.1 = INTEGER: 0
UCD-SNMP-MIB::extErrFixCmd.1 = STRING: |
extOutput translates to .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.8.1.101
As "foo" is our first exec directive, add ".1" at the end of the OID.
In Cacti, use the "SNMP - Generic OID Template" like this :
Voila ! Result of the /tmp/foo.sh script is now graphed in Cacti.
Now let's run this second script, which returns more than one result :
| Code: | $ /tmp/bar.sh
456
789 |
It returns two values, one per line (this is important).
Another way to call scripts from snmpd.conf is by specifying an OID, like this :
| Code: | | exec .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.555 /bin/sh /tmp/bar.sh |
Run this query :
| Code: | $ snmpwalk -v 1 -c public localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.555
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.555.1.1 = INTEGER: 1
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.555.2.1 = STRING: "/bin/sh"
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.555.3.1 = STRING: "/tmp/bar.sh"
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.555.100.1 = INTEGER: 0
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.555.101.1 = STRING: "456"
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.555.101.2 = STRING: "789"
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.555.102.1 = INTEGER: 0
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.555.103.1 = "" |
First line returned by the script will be available at .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.555.101.1, second one at .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.555.101.2, and so on.
You can then use the "SNMP - Generic OID Template" in Cacti (one Data Source per OID).
Let's say you want to count the number of entries in a log file.
Add this to snmpd.conf :
| Code: | | logmatch cactistats /home/cactiuser/cacti/log/cacti.log 120 SYSTEM STATS |
- the global count of matches will be available under the .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.16.2.1.5.1 OID
- the "Regex match counter" (which is reset with each file rotation) will be available under the .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.16.2.1.7.1 OID
To list all the available variables, use this query :
| Code: | $ snmpwalk -v 1 -c public localhost logMatch
UCD-SNMP-MIB::logMatchMaxEntries.0 = INTEGER: 50
UCD-SNMP-MIB::logMatchIndex.1 = INTEGER: 1
UCD-SNMP-MIB::logMatchName.1 = STRING: cactistats
UCD-SNMP-MIB::logMatchFilename.1 = STRING: /home/cactiuser/cacti/log/cacti.log
UCD-SNMP-MIB::logMatchRegEx.1 = STRING: SYSTEM STATS
UCD-SNMP-MIB::logMatchGlobalCounter.1 = Counter32: 301634
UCD-SNMP-MIB::logMatchGlobalCount.1 = INTEGER: 301634
UCD-SNMP-MIB::logMatchCurrentCounter.1 = Counter32: 6692
UCD-SNMP-MIB::logMatchCurrentCount.1 = INTEGER: 6692
UCD-SNMP-MIB::logMatchCounter.1 = Counter32: 1
UCD-SNMP-MIB::logMatchCount.1 = INTEGER: 0
UCD-SNMP-MIB::logMatchCycle.1 = INTEGER: 120
UCD-SNMP-MIB::logMatchErrorFlag.1 = INTEGER: 0
UCD-SNMP-MIB::logMatchRegExCompilation.1 = STRING: Success |
We'll then use another interesting directive, the "proxy" one.
Let's take for example the Squid proxy : when enabled, its SNMP agent listen to UDP 3401 port.
If you want to have system graphs and Squid graphs without declaring 2 devices in Cacti, add this in snmpd.conf :
| Code: | | proxy -v 1 -c public localhost:3401 .1.3.6.1.4.1.3495.1 |
The Squid SNMP tree will be available under the .1.3.6.1.4.1.3495.1 branch.
Let's query this host :
| Code: | $ snmpwalk -v 1 -c public 10.151.33.3 sysdescr
SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = STRING: Linux srv1.foo.com 2.6.8.1-12mdk #1 Fri Oct 1 12:53:41 CEST 2004 i686 |
And here's the Squid part (this specific OID returns the Squid version) :
| Code: | $ snmpwalk -v 1 -c public 10.151.33.3 .1.3.6.1.4.1.3495.1.2.3.0
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.3495.1.2.3.0 = STRING: "2.5.STABLE6" |
You'll find how to enable the Squid SNMP agent here.

|
|
Hello
Sorry, but I cant snmp get working on suse 10.1 machine. I've installed serveral snmp agents on fedora machines without any problem but here I only access the snmp server from the local machine. iptables completeley disabled (-P INPUT ACCEPT, -P OUTPUT ACCEPT (-F -X)) and this configuration settings:
# Security
com2sec local localhost public
com2sec network 87.245.0.0/16 public
#Security Group / Name interchange
# Gruppe Modell Security-Name
group rwGroup v1 local
group rwGroup v2c local
group rwGroup usm local
group rwGroup v1 network
group rwGroup v2c network
group rwGroup usm network
#Views
# Name Typ Unterbaum
view all included .1
#Access Control
# Gruppe Kontext Modell Level Praefix Lesen Schreiben Nachricht
access rwGroup "" any noauth exact all all none
the snmpwalk -v1 -c public localhost system works only on the same machine. As soon as I try to access it from a other machine inside 87.245.0.0 network I get the already known error:
Timeout: No Response from 87.245.90.23
Has SuSE some special configuration I should know. Is there any additional debuging prossibiliy other than the log level of the snmpd?
Any help whould be very welcome.
Thanks

Hi
I copied/pasted your snmpd.conf file, replaced 87.245.0.0/16 with 10.50.80.0/24, restarted Net-SNMP and it works from a host in this range...
Can you check that Net-SNMP listens to all interfaces :
| Code: | $ netstat -nl | grep 161
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:161 0.0.0.0:* |

Nice howto, but I'm not getting it to work 
Both machines are running Centos 4.x
| Code: |
rocommunity public 193.94.143.0/24
# Machine location and contact
syslocation 5th floor
syscontact name@address.com
# Include information on all mounted disks on the server
disk /
disk /boot
disk /home
disk /var
|
Just testing a very basic setup to use as a template before getting into user authentication.
For example the cpu-usage graph shows readings between 600-800m (million?)
| Code: |
$ snmpwalk -v2c -c public jazz .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.50.0
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ssCpuRawUser.0 = Counter32: 580408
$ snmpwalk -v2c -c public jazz .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.51.0
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ssCpuRawNice.0 = Counter32: 36
|
Disks and memory seem to be showing the correct values, but load is showing the cacti hosts load:
| Code: |
$ snmpwalk -v2c -c public jazz .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.3.1
UCD-SNMP-MIB::laLoad.1 = STRING: 1.41
|
Shows the correct value.
I would also be intrested in graphing io-wait if possible. Doing an snmp-walk I found the following:
| Code: |
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ssIOSent.0 = INTEGER: 1
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ssIOReceive.0 = INTEGER: 1
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ssSysInterrupts.0 = INTEGER: 7
|
But maby I need something else? |

600m means 0.600 : http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?t=8168
The default templates provided with Cacti are made for 1 CPU systems.
You can use my templates for 2, 4 or 8 CPU systems : http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?t=15412

Strange... Can you check that running "w" on the target server is the same as querying the "latable" OID ?

You can use the following OIDs :
| Code: | $ snmpwalk -v 1 -c public localhost systemStats | grep ssCpuRaw
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ssCpuRawUser.0 = Counter32: 340088819
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ssCpuRawNice.0 = Counter32: 369055
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ssCpuRawSystem.0 = Counter32: 84007851
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ssCpuRawIdle.0 = Counter32: 1787948197
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ssCpuRawWait.0 = Counter32: 97863793
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ssCpuRawKernel.0 = Counter32: 78997557
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ssCpuRawInterrupt.0 = Counter32: 913566
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ssCpuRawSoftIRQ.0 = Counter32: 4096728 |
They are all counters; you can use the "ucd/net" CPU templates as a model. |

For comparison, here is what I have on the cacti host, and this is what I'm seeing on my graph:
| Code: |
$ w
23:07:16 up 15 days, 11:39, 3 users, load average: 4.87, 2.72, 2.93
USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT
root :0 - 21Aug06 ?xdm? 44:19m 0.67s /usr/bin/gnome-session
root pts/1 :0.0 21Aug06 11days 59.92s 59.92s bash
mikaa pts/2 carmen.example.com 23:00 0.00s 0.11s 0.03s w

It's an old computer that I'm using for testing, the loads are like this all the time  It's very easy to spot the differance between the two. |

Are you using the "Unix - Load Average" graph template ?
If yes, try the "ucd/net - Load Average" one instead. |

| I was using the ucd/net - load averige. I deleted it, and added again, I'll see if it affects the outcome. |

No help, it's still showiing the cacti hosts load.
Don't know if this is any use, but the graph debug info:
| Code: |
RRDTool Command:
/usr/bin/rrdtool graph - \

Can you go to systems utilities -> view poller cache, and check the entries for this graph ?
You should have something like this :
| Quote: | Data Source: phoenix - Load Average - 15 Minute
RRD: /cacti/RRD/Supervision/Phoenix/supervision_phoenix_load_15min_393.rrd
Action: 0, OID: .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.3.3 (Host: 10.50.80.190, Community: public) |

Can you run this :
| Code: | | $ snmpwalk -v 1 -c public jazz.sulake.com .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.3.2 |
and check that the result is the same than on the graph ? |
