Can't add SNMP enabled devices to monitor...

Post by rphillips »

Here is what happens.
1. I add the device.

2. Then I get a DNS error when clicking create

3. I hit F5 to refresh.

4. Then I click on the device that was added and the page basically comes up blank.

Viewing my local linux machine works fine (no SNMP) but any device I add that has SNMP enabled I get this error. I have manually walked these devices from the cacti server and it works fine. Please help... I'm at my wits end and am considering installing it on a frekin windows box.

Please insure that you have the NET-SNMP modules installed. They can be downloaded from www.netsnmp.org. Also, please goto the Cacti Settings and sellect the Path's tab and verify the snmpget and snmpwalk paths.

For those wondering, I'm still here, but lost in the shadows. Yearning for less bugs. Who want's a Cacti 1.3/2.0? Streams anyone?

Yup, built NET-SNMP 5.0.8 from source and it's installed in /usr/local/bin

Funny thing is rpm -qa is showing snmp 5.0.9-2.80.1
but snmpwalk -v is showing Version 5.0.8

This is one of the downsides to GNU. But, I would not have it any other way. Question: Why did you not build 5.1.1?

5.1.1 is installed now. Same problem... maybe I should just go ahead and reinstall everything since running Cacti was the purpose of this computer anyway. I'm a linux novice and probably screwed something up in my install/configuration (read: Learning) process.
