SNMPv3 - How to disable php-snmp

[skywalker89]

I just upgraded to Cacti 1.2.22 and Spine 1.2.22

I have NET-SNMP version 5.8
PHP version: 7.4.3
Ubuntu 20.04.05 LTS

I am trying to use snmpv3 with Palo Alto FW. I was able to connect using SHA and AES 128. I have read that I should be disabling php-snmp but don't really understand how to do that. I looked in the php.ini file and don't see a reference to that. Does I just need to add a line in there to disable or something else? Does it automatically switch to Net-snmp once that is disabled?

I don't use Ubuntu, but a simple google search tells me

Code: Select all

sudo apt remove php-snmp
sudo apt autoclean && sudo apt autoremove

[skywalker89]

When I run

sudo apt remove php7.4-snmp

It wants me to remove cacti and php7.4-snmp plus all of the automatically installed packages that come along with it...apache2 php7.4 etc

I don't want cacti to get uninstalled or the dependencies. I am not that well versed in linux but know a little bit to get through things.

If there is any dependency, you can try rename php snmp module, try
locate snmp | grep php
It returns something like:
/usr/lib/php/20210902/snmp.so

renema it:
mv /usr/lib/php/20210902/snmp.so /usr/lib/php/20210902/snmp.so.old

and restart webserver

Or you can find the config file (ini) that is including it, and comment it out. Again, I don't know Ubuntu, but it would be under /etc/ somewhere.
This might tell you
dpkg -L php-snmp

You can always remove the rpm package with the nodep's option. Oh wait
