Hello all,

I am currently trying to get the snmpstats module up and running, for monitoring purposes.

I followed the instructions in the module documentation, I studied Net-SNMP references and I searched web resources for several days now, but still I couldn't succeed in starting the openser module properly. I have no idea what the problem could be.

The NET-SNMP part of the equation seams to work properly: I am using the 5.4.1 version. I managed to play around with the tools from the package, in local and remote scenarios too. I was able to send and receive traps, get and set different values in the MIB tree, load new MIBs...

On the openser part, I'm not doing something special. I have a config file that does nothing, except load the snmpstats module and set the limits for the dialogs and the unparsed data traps. That's it. I tried with fork on yes and on no, because I found out from my web searches that this could be a problem, but all I got was some logging in the no fork scenario, saying that the snmp agent from snmpstats could not connect to the master agent, the snmpd that runs on the same machine. The "check for a proper configuration" step in the module documentation failed also, before this (I got no output in the snmpd window after openser was started, until that point, everything was like in the documentation), so this couldn't work actually, but i still did it anyway.

The problem must be in the configuration files, but it escapes me. This is the content of the files (yes, both in the same location...):

snmpd.conf ----------------------------------- com2sec notConfigUser default public group notConfigGroup v1 notConfigUser group notConfigGroup v2c notConfigUser view systemview included .1.3.6.1.2.1.1 view systemview included .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.1 access notConfigGroup "" any noauth exact systemview none none syslocation localhost (edit /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf) syscontact Root root@localhost (configure /etc/snmp/snmp.local.conf) pass .1.3.6.1.4.1.4413.4.1 /usr/bin/ucd5820stat rocommunity public localhost trapsink localhost:162 public trap2sink localhost:162 public authtrapenable 1 master agentx ----------------------------------------------

snmpstats.conf ------------------------------- agentXSocket tcp:localhost:705 ----------------------------------------------

And the way I start snmpd now is: snmpd -f -Lo -M /usr/local/share/mibs -m ALL -d -x tcp:localhost:705 I did try several versions including the one found in the module documentation.

This is the context of my problem. Hopping that there is a small, but obvious mistake, in my config files, due to my lack of attention or something, and not a more serious thing, I thank you for your time.
