Thank you for this. It’s far more simple and straightforward than the snmpconf or manpage for simple, no-frills SNMP monitoring.

Jul: Could not resolve ‘us.archive.ubuntu.com’ means that you cannot connect to your repositories.
Try apt-get update as your computer suggest.

With the internet inundated with so much crap, thank you so much for an ACTUAL helpful post. I spent so much time scouring the web for walkthroughs. I applaud you, good sir.

Does the file exist?

I’m trying to set up a Citadel mail server on Ubuntu for the singular purpose of having network devices (in this case, copier/printer/scanners) report status via email. They use snmp relay to do it. When I follow the steps above, all goes well until I get to the file move. I get a “cannot stat … no such file or directory”. Any thoughts?

Just for the sake of completion, just used the same settings for my Windows machine running Net-SNMP, and it appears to work. Except for the fact that the files are in different locations

Although with a little thinking and searching, it’s not that hard to adapt it for a Windows environment.

Now all my machines work the way I want them with Cacti, awesome

Exactly what I have been looking for. I was trying to set up my ubuntu box the same way I did my CentOS server. Completely missed the /etc/default/snmpd changes.

Thanks for the help.

Good job it works well. It worked the first time I tired it. Ishtiaq you may want to make sure that the computer name on your command line matche with the one you’re using…

Totally awesome

Worked the first time I tried it, and I have to admit, I don’t have a clue as to what I’m doing when it comes to Linux…

Have Cacti running on a windows machine for testing purposes, was trying to get a couple of graphs formed from a remote Linux machine, and this guide is easy to follow, and works perfectly

Could you be a little more specific?
