Hostinfo plugin

Post by DAP »

Hi all, hopefully this is a simple fix! Has anyone had any issues with the "Hostinfo" plugin, specifically the SNMP version information (see attached image)?

From the command line, what is the output of

Code: Select all

snmpwalk --version 2>&1
You may have to put in the full path to snmpwalk.

Windows does not understand " 2>&1". In Windows you need to simply run "snmpwalk --version".

Hmm, check you syntax and make sure you fix those missing MIB files.

Also seems that the linux net-snmp wants --version to display the version, while the win32 package wants -V

I will have to compensate for this in the plugin.

Thankyou. It works by modifying hostinfo.php,

$output = shell_exec ("$path_snmpwalk --version 2>&1");

To this,

$output = shell_exec ("$path_snmpwalk -V 2>&1");


Thanks again.
