when I ran the command:

I get the followin error:

I’m sure there are many sites on the net that explain how to setup a snmpd. From the output of your check_command, it looks like it’s not even running on localhost.

I have searched the internet on how to setup snmpd and tried all the ones that I found but still got the same error…

when I run the command /etc/snmp/snmpd restart after every change it shows ok and when I run the command it still gives the same error

Hi,
I just realised my mistake I was actually adding the -H option to the snmpwalk command I guess that was my error!!!
Thanks
