Setup SNMP monitoring

[hotwired007]

I'm using PRTG running on a windows box, i want it to connect to my proxmox 1.9 servers to monitor the load on the network cards.

whats the best way to set this up?

i have tried installing snmpd but it wont allow my PRTG server to connect to it.

I have tried modifying the /etc/default/snmpd and /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf files but i'm stuck - any advice? all i want to do is add read only access for 192.168.100.30...

Hi,
in /etc/default/snmpd add your IP (pve-host)

SNMPDOPTS='-Lsd -Lf /dev/null -u snmp -I -smux -p /var/run/snmpd.pid 192.168.3.12'

add in snmpd.conf something like

com2sec readonly  192.168.100.30      password

restart snmpd and you should be able to access (but i found snmpd on linux not very stable).

thanks Udo, that was spot on - i'd made the mistake of putting the wrong IP in the snmpd file... i'm only using it to monitor the network load for my 1.9 cluster
