[2013/05/20 04:04:31] #net-snmp <lloowen> Hello all. Can anyone recommend a good site that shows how to change snmp manager and agent from snmpv2c to snmpv3
[2013/05/20 05:59:53] #net-snmp <rstory-work> lloowen: our wiki pages describe how to set up snmpv3 support for net-snmp. you'll have to consult your managment software documentation on how to set it up for v3..
[2013/05/20 12:19:05] #net-snmp <foster123> need some help with snmp.conf file...I am new to configuring snmp (I understand the use, and configured basics systemObjectID, name..etc) but I want to load the extra mibs
[2013/05/20 12:19:48] #net-snmp <foster123> and It seems as though RHEL6 will not read the new mibs I am adding, because when I snmpwalk the system I do not see the mibs listed
[2013/05/20 12:20:15] #net-snmp <foster123> do you have any good documentation on RHEL6 and mibs?
[2013/05/20 12:48:13] #net-snmp <rstory-work> where are you adding the mibs, and what device are your querying?
[2013/05/20 12:48:54] #net-snmp <foster123> I am using the /usr/share/snmp/mibs directory that is installed when you add net-snmp on the server
[2013/05/20 12:49:14] #net-snmp <foster123> I am trying to query the disks for sda and sdb and so forth
[2013/05/20 12:49:43] #net-snmp <foster123> I wanted to see if disk performance would be seen in our management tool (Solarwinds or Zenoss)
[2013/05/20 12:49:54] #net-snmp <rstory-work> and what's the snmpwalk command you are using?
[2013/05/20 12:50:32] #net-snmp <foster123> snmpwalk -v2c -c community-string -On localhost
[2013/05/20 12:50:47] #net-snmp <foster123> just to see if the mib is loaded
[2013/05/20 12:51:34] #net-snmp <rstory-work> ok.. if you don't specify an OID to snmpwalk, it defaults to the system branch.. if you want to see everything the agent can report, tack on ".1.3" to that command..
[2013/05/20 12:52:24] #net-snmp <foster123> if I run snmpwalk -v 2c -c community-string -On localhost UCD-DISKIO-MIB::ucdDiskIOMIB
[2013/05/20 12:53:15] #net-snmp <foster123> then I can see the string but how do I have it load automatically in the snmpd.conf file...I have in there "mibs +UCD-DISKIO-MIB" but nothing
[2013/05/20 12:53:52] #net-snmp <foster123> is the system branch .1 ?
[2013/05/20 12:59:48] #net-snmp <rstory-work> you don't need to have snmpd load mib files.. it doesn't need them (unless you are using OID names in snmpd.conf).
[2013/05/20 13:02:14] #net-snmp <foster123> so If I want to get the disk statistics for the physical disk..how do I go about that
[2013/05/20 13:02:24] #net-snmp <foster123> and the graph data
[2013/05/20 13:03:08] #net-snmp <foster123> I want to start using snmpd to monitor everything for our systems
[2013/05/20 13:03:34] #net-snmp <foster123> I thought that mib was to get me that data
[2013/05/20 13:08:42] #net-snmp <rstory-work> no, that's a very common misconception... a mib is just a lookup file.. like a phonebook... it won't help you if nobody's there to answer..
[2013/05/20 13:08:50] #net-snmp <rstory-work> snmpwalk -v2c -c spx 127.0.0.1 diskIOTable should get you diskIO stats..
[2013/05/20 13:09:37] #net-snmp <rstory-work> obviously chance the community string to whatever you've configured locally..
[2013/05/20 13:11:42] #net-snmp <rstory-work> snmpget of UCD-SNMP-MIB::versionConfigureOptions.0 will tell you how net-snmp was configured.. if you don't see ucd-snmp/diskio in that string, then the agent wasn't built with diskio support..
[2013/05/20 13:16:42] #net-snmp <foster123> ok..I am going to try that now..thanks!
[2013/05/20 13:20:26] #net-snmp <foster123> ok..so when I ran the last command it shows ucd-snmp/diskio in the command output
[2013/05/20 13:20:37] #net-snmp <foster123> so does that mean it is there by default?
[2013/05/20 13:55:24] #net-snmp <rstory-work> yes
[2013/05/20 13:57:13] #net-snmp <foster123> ok..so to access the data I have to use the OID's(if I am saying that right) for the specific data that I want? so the 1.3.6.*
