Solaris snmp is woeful. You need to install net-snmp on the box after removing the sun version.

Hello

I had exactly the same issue and I am running net-snmp when I execute those commands done by Cacti I get "snmpbulkwalk: Timeout".

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers

m_spidey: Your symptom is probably that net-snmp still isn't running, or is configured to accept requests only from a spepcific IP (check the config of the Agent on the Solaris machine)

Full instructions on installing the Solaris net-snmp agent can be found here

karthick_tvl: Just to cover the basics: Cacti reads the SNMP results (values) from SNMP Agents which run on the clients. There are manufactured "agents" (eg Suns own one), and then there are 3rd party ones. Net-snmp is a 3rd party one. Suns own one gives limited information about the system.

(Agents simply gather the measurements from the system, and have them ready to give out if an SNMP poller (eg Cacti) asks for it.)

NZ_Cacti,

What a write up. You should publish that somewhere. Maybe send to Sun
