Nagios Core 4.0.2/Ubuntu Install net-snmp and net-snmp-utils

[brian.castrillon.r]

Hi Friends

I have install Nagios Core acording to the Quickstart instalation guide for Ubuntu and i want to monitor network devices like Switch/roter via snmp, in this article http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/nagi ... uters.html it says that the prerequisites are: install the net-snmp and net-snmp-utils plugins and they appear on this directory /usr/local/nagios/libexec, i am missing them, anyone know how to install them? can i install them via apt-get or aptitude?

Thanks

Yes, you absolutely should be able to install them via apt-get or aptitude, you will then need to recompile the nagios plugins, as snmp plugins will not be compiled if the dependencies are not met.

do you know the atp-get command to get the net-snmp and net-snmp-utils? i have submmited this command:

root@nagios:~# apt-get install net-snmp net-snmp-utils
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package net-snmp
E: Unable to locate package net-snmp-utils

thanks

Looks like they would be libnet-snmp-perl and snmp, per some various ubuntu forums. It seems the util package is included partially in libnet-snmp and partially in the snmp package.

Try running:

Code: Select all

apt-get install snmp

then run:

Code: Select all

dpkg --get-selections | grep snmp

to see what snmp packages you have installed.

I believe so. Recompile the nagios plugins and see if this will resolve your issue.
