snmp error

[patrick iu]

Hi,

i installed cacti on debian etch (0.8.6i-3.4) without problem by apt-get install cacti

no problem for localhost, the graphs are shown
but for remote hosts i have the message in red "SNMP error" in the main page of the host (he doesn't show me the snmp informations)
I also have status down.

I put the right things in snmpd.conf for the host.

I don't know where the pb is

Please help

Ensure you have restarted snmpd on the remote host, and on the local host, at a console test the remote host with:

Code: Select all

snmpwalk -v2c -c {communitystring} {remotehostip} system

Thanks Linegod for your reply.

i did snmpwalk -v2c -c xxxx 192.168.240.247 system
=> i get Timeout: No Response from 192.168.240.247

this test was made from a host where cacti was just installed
If i do this test from a cacti server which is in use for 2 years it works.
So i thing that my problem is on the new cacti server side.

What do you thing ?

oops sorry!! My last post is wrong. Here is the right one

Thanks Linegod for your reply.

i did snmpwalk -v2c -c xxxx 192.168.240.247 system
=> i get Timeout: No Response from 192.168.240.247

this test was made from a host where cacti was just installed

when i do this test with a host which is monitored from another cacti server it works
So i thing that my problem is on the "client" side.
The client is debian etch, on which i installed the snmpd paquet and made the right snmpd.conf file

What do you thing ?

i found :

by default in debian the server listen on 127.0.0.1 only!!
Solution : in /etc/default/snmpd remove 127.0.0.1
