The SNMP is very important for monitoring and managing any network. If you want to use any software for monitoring equipment and network servers using the SNMP is essential. But to use SNMP to collect a small remote is necessary change in the default protocol installed on Ubuntu and Debian (possibly all of Debian derived distros).

In order to monitor a remote host you need SNMP enabled to collect and released from another host. To release the SNMP on the machine being monitored execute the following:

Edit / etc / snmp / snmpd.conf to comment on the "com2sec paranoid default public" and uncomment the line "com2sec readonly default public."

Edit / etc / default / snmpd replace "127.0.0.1" for the IP connections that should receive the SNMP, for example "192.168.50.10" (this IP must be set in any of the interfaces of the host), do not forget to release the door if there is any rule 161 of blocking this host to be monitored.

To enable the changes run: # invoke-rc.d snmpd restart (run as root or you can use sudo)

Then simply configure the application that makes the collection points to the IP released and use the SNMP Community as "public."

It is therefore hope that this information is useful.
