Hello guys.
I am experiencing a huge problem regarding SNMP on the Hardware Node where ProxMox is installed.
We need SNMP to be able to monitor everything in our NOC/Monitoring System.
Because this is not our first server, we did everything as it should be done, but still it wont start.
apt-get install snmp snmpd
and the snmpd.conf file itself
Running /etc/init.d/snmpd start shows:
I also tried to run it from command line like : /usr/sbin/snmpd -Lsd -Lf /dev/null -u snmp -g snmp -I -smux -p /var/run/snmpd.pid PROXMOXIP
But no output or errors.
THE SOLUTION
You will need to add and modify current configuration:
1. In /etc/default/snmpd
2. In /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf add the following
3. Add Non-Free Repo for SNMP MIB's, run this command
4. Start SNMP Daemon running /etc/init.d/snmpd start
Now you can test everything with:
It should show the current IP addresses on the ProxMox Machine.
Thanks.

apt-get install snmp snmpd
Code:
cat /etc/default/snmpd
# This file controls the activity of snmpd and snmptrapd
# Don't load any MIBs by default.
# You might comment this lines once you have the MIBs downloaded.
export MIBS=
# snmpd control (yes means start daemon).
SNMPDRUN=yes
# snmpd options (use syslog, close stdin/out/err).
SNMPDOPTS='-Lsd -Lf /dev/null -u snmp -g snmp -I -smux -p /var/run/snmpd.pid PROXMOXIP'
# snmptrapd control (yes means start daemon). As of net-snmp version
# 5.0, master agentx support must be enabled in snmpd before snmptrapd
# can be run. See snmpd.conf(5) for how to do this.
TRAPDRUN=no
# snmptrapd options (use syslog).
TRAPDOPTS='-Lsd -p /var/run/snmptrapd.pid'
# create symlink on Debian legacy location to official RFC path
SNMPDCOMPAT=yesand the snmpd.conf file itself

THE SOLUTION
You will need to add and modify current configuration:
1. In /etc/default/snmpd
Code:
export MIBS=/usr/share/mibs
SNMPDOPTS='-Lsd -Lf /dev/null -u snmp -g snmp -I -smux -p /var/run/snmpd.pid -c /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf'2. In /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf add the following
Code:
iquerySecName 153. Add Non-Free Repo for SNMP MIB's, run this command
Code:
echo "deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian wheezy main non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list && apt-get update
apt-get install snmp-mibs-downloader4. Start SNMP Daemon running /etc/init.d/snmpd start
Now you can test everything with:
Code:
root@v1:~# snmpwalk -v 1 -c public localhost IP-MIB::ipAdEntIfIndex
IP-MIB::ipAdEntIfIndex.192.168.1.101 = INTEGER: 6
IP-MIB::ipAdEntIfIndex.127.0.0.1 = INTEGER: 1
root@v1:~#It should show the current IP addresses on the ProxMox Machine.
Thanks.
