HOW TO Configure SOLARIS SNMP HELP

[geounix]

Ok Please someone help.

I have SNMP running on two Solaris systems. When I walk the mib I do not get any host resource info only standard MIBII data ie; syscontact and interfaces. How can I configure SOLARIS SNMP to support the host resource mib i believe RFC 1157

hi,
as per my knowledge...Soaris boxes are not default snmp enabled...but u may use the commands snmpget, snmpset etc...but until u have snmp agent running u cnnot know the oid values...u have to have a SNMP agent running in the destination mechine...like sysedge, ssm etc..then only u can see the vlues...all the cisco devices are default snmp enabled...
if you could give me some more details like which mechine u are qureing etc...i can help u...
thanks,
sireesh

Dear All,

I am on Solaris 2.

If you are still hunting for a solution re this subject, I hope what follows can help.

To query OIDs like CPU utilisations, total & free memory, and even bytes free for file systems on Solaris, I've tried with success using a replacement snmpd. It's a very nice daemon!

1. Follow the link

http://sourceforge.net/projects/net-snmp/

and download net-snmp 5.1 source codes; compile and install with help of README and INSTALL documentations;

2. set up config file using command "snmpconf" ... very user friendly

3. stop the Soloaris snmpdx daemon and start the generated snmpd daemon with -c specifying the config file you created in step 2;

4. Set up MRTG with help from tutorial link:

http://www.net-snmp.org/tutorial-5/mrtg/index.html;

Hope these steps can lead you to somewhere!

God bless!

Hi Lawrence Koo,

Thanks for your instruction, i did follow yours, but unfortunately i did not compile this source. It told me that cannot file the C compliler. I am using Solaris 8.

Can you help?

Many thanks !

Tung.

Hey Tung,

i guess you have to install C compiler from your Solaris CD.

Can you help? I am not an C programer !
Many thanks !

Tung,

Neither am I a C programmer

Looks like you have some program missing according to your log ...

configure:2867: gcc conftest.c >&5
gcc: installation problem, cannot exec `as': No such file or directory

If you 'man as', it reads:
NAME
as - assembler
...
DESCRIPTION
The as command creates object files from assembly language source files.

I am sure the command is the same on SPARC and x86 platforms.

As i am not a UNIX admin either ... so i don't have the knowhow on how to fix such problem ... sorry.

I know this is an old post, but I thought I'd provide something in case people are looking for more information.

I think that it might be easier to install a precompiled net-snmp sun package. Grab it from sunfreeware.com and then edit the snmpd.conf file.
