You will have to configure snmpd to suppress logging for incoming snmp requests

Hi,

May I ask on how it was fixed? I ran into the same problem and fairly new to Cacti, so please, forgive me.

Thanks!

This is a net-snmpd configuration issue. My /etc/sysconfig/snmpd looks like

Code: Select all

# snmpd command line options
# '-f' is implicitly added by snmpd systemd unit file
# OPTIONS="-LS0-6d"
OPTIONS="-LS0-5d -Lf /dev/null"

R.

Hello,

Mine looks like this...

# snmpd command line options
# OPTIONS="-LS0-6d -Lf /dev/null -p /var/run/snmpd.pid"

If I'm not wrong the # symbol excludes the command to be used, correct?

[gandalf]

That's why I appended the last line

Hi,

I have changed it, but my cacti still does not collect syslog. Please, bear in mind that I am using the latest CactiEZ release.
What might be the problem?

Kind Regards

[gandalf]

I have changed it, but my cacti still does not collect syslog.

The hint I gave you was related to the SNMPD log line found in syslog. That should be fixed right now. If other issues persist, let's start to talk about them

Hi,

I have gave cacti a day to start collecting syslog, but it still only collects its own syslog and not from other devices...
Anything else I should check?

[gandalf]

You are talking about the SYSLOG plugin?
R.

[anar1120]

Yes, please, refer to attached photo.

[gandalf]

Moving to Plugins; this is a plugin issue

Hi,

So, how can I fix this? Sorry for asking so many things I am new to Cacti

[anar1120]

Dear Gandalf,

I googled a lot and still not able to figure out what the problem is. Can you help me?

Kind Regards,

[CeeKing]

The problem is that snmpd is set to generate messages for priorities 0 - 6

The trick that you need to modify /etc/init.d/snmpd so when snmpd starts is doesn't log priorities 5 & 6.

Change the LS0-6d to LS0-4d

#OPTIONS="-LS0-6d -Lf /dev/null -p /var/run/snmpd.pid"
OPTIONS="-LS0-4d -Lf /dev/null -p /var/run/snmpd.pid"

See this page for further information (It's where I got it)
