I’m having a problem getting the snmp plugin to work in my Nagios setup.
My setup is a Linux server with Nagios installed and working for all the “public” services. The servers I’m most interested in monitoring are AIX 5.2 boxes. I want to try snmp first before I try nrpe (which I do have working for Windows remote hosts).
I have net-snmp installed on the Linux box by following the “long instructions” at
net-snmp.org/docs/INSTALL.html.
Then I installed the snmp plugin on the Linux server by following the instructions at
ftp://ftp.hometree.net/pub/nagios-snmp- … index.html.
I edited the /etc/snmpd.conf file on the remote AIX server and cycled the
snmpd service. Snmp was already installed; not sure of the version.

When I try to run the plugin command manually on the Linux box I get:
root@CRLX1:/usr/local/nagios/etc#
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_snmp_disk -v -H testserver -C public
check_snmp_disk: Verbose mode activated
check_snmp_disk: Hostname set to testserver
check_snmp_disk: Community set to public
check_snmp_disk: Error #1
check_snmp_disk: Could not fetch list of disks
check_snmp_disk: Returning 3
root@CRLX1:/usr/local/nagios/etc#
I noticed that snmpd is not running on my Linu:evil:nagios) box, but it is
running on my remote AIX box. I’m not sure of the version on the AIX box.
Any help anyone could give me would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
