C:\net-snmp\bin>snmpwalk.exe -v 1 -c public localhost versiontag
Output: UCD-SNMP-MIB::versionTag.0 = STRING: 5.4.1

C:\net-snmp\bin>snmpwalk.exe -v 1 -c public localhost sysdesc
Output: No output.....Its blank..

Note:
If i replaced localhost to <remote ip address> such as
C:\net-snmp\bin>snmpwalk.exe -v 1 -c public <ip address> sysdesc
it working fine. Why its not working for my localhost ?

Can you run this :

Code: Select all

C:\> ping localhost

and

Code: Select all

C:\> netstat -an | findstr 161

Well, I don't know

Ask in the Net-SNMP mailing list, or in a Windows forum.

For those getting unknown token warnings when running SNMP queries, make sure you have set an environment variable called SNMPCONF-PATH to the path of your Net-SNMP snmp.conf file

I have installed Net-SNMP in RedHat RHEL 5 x86_64 64 bits

I dont know how to restart and where i can create the snmpd.conf file ?

Wow, I would be really happy to have this working, as I would finally be able to run custom windows scripts. Until now i've been using Windows SNMP service with the free Paessler SNMP Helper to graph disk counters..

I've disabled the windows service, installed net-snmp according to the screenshots, created snmpd.conf, and started service. My snmpd.conf now has one line: "rocommunity public".

SNMPD starts, but I cannot get any decent output:

C:\>snmpwalk -v 2c -c public localhost sysName
SNMPv2-MIB::sysName = No Such Object available on this agent at this OID

If I walk all:

Does anyone have a clue as to why I can't get it to show more info?

Still no idea anyone?

If I reinstall net-snmp in default mode, not the windows extension thingy, then I do get back some data..

But then snmpd starts moaning that it does not know the token 'disk'.. Grrr.. I'm getting a bit annoyed that net-snmp is that broken, and a day of googling isn't getting me any further..

Hello fmangeant,

The tut. is very helpfull. I'm just beginning with cacti and planning to use it with MS W2K3 servers. In your tut. you write "extOutput translates to .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.8.1.101"
Well of course i believe you but how do you get that oid? I presume with snmptranslate? But if so, how do i use it?

An MUCH easier way to setup and use SNMP for a Windows 2003 server is to just use the built-in Windows service.

1. Install snmp service. Go to Start->Run and type:

appwiz.cpl @,2

This will open Add/Remove Windows Components Wizard.
2. In list find Management and Monitoring Tools and click Details. In new window check Simple Network Management Protocol and press OK. Press Next to begin installation of snmp service.
3. Configure snmp service. Go to Start->Run and type:

services.msc

This will open System Services window.
4. In list find SNMP service and double-click on it. Go to Agent Tab, fill the Contact and Location boxes and check all Service checkboxes.
Go to Security Tab and edit the community name.
Optional: you can specify from what hosts your windows machine can accept SNMP packets.
5. Test snmp service. In video I test it from Gentoo box: read the system MIBs with snmpwalk command. Windows host ip is 172.16.50.179:

snmpwalk -v 2c -c cacti_com 172.16.50.179 system

found at: http://www.video4admin.com/monitoring-l ... cacti.html

It's easier, but Net-SNMP can be extended, not the Windows SNMP agent

Can this be used on a VMware guest machine to get data from the guest?
