Morning everyone,

I've been using librenms to monitor my host's across 3 PVE's but for the life of me i can't get any of my Proxmox 4.4 machines working with librenms.
my problems start when i try to stop snmp service it seems to stop

when i issue
net-snmp-config --create-snmpv3-user -ro -x DES -a MD5 -A "snmpv3user" -X snmpv3user proxmox

The system responds with
Apparently at least one snmpd demon is already running. You must stop them in order to use this command.

root@pve:~# service snmpd stop
root@pve:~# ps -ax | grep snmp
8432 ? S 0:43 /usr/sbin/snmpd -Lsd -Lf /dev/null -u snmp -g snmp -I -smux mteTrigger mteTriggerConf -p /run/snmpd.pid
28193 pts/0 S+ 0:00 grep snmp
root@pve:~# ps -ax | grep snmp161
28230 pts/0 S+ 0:00 grep snmp161
root@pve:~#

I'm not sure where to go from here, any ideas.

Ok so im still not sure why this is happening however i have found a workaround by killing all snmpd services.

ps -A

find you process and kill kill kill

kill 74587

for example i had do to this a few times before it would allow me to add snmpv3 auth/priv user, Finally i restarted to service (whata ball ache)
 
Just don´t forget to restart the services in the Containers after you kill the services in ProxmoxVE
