SNMP MIBs MIB could not be installed - directory permission

[sreinhardt]

After taking a look at how net-snmp handles this sort of behavior (Link), could we see your /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf, ~/.snmp/snmp.conf, and /usr/local/share/snmp.conf if they exist on your system.

Here is my /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf I had to change it to snmpd.conf.txt to upload it.

That doesn't seem to contain what we were looking for. Do you have either of the other files? ~/.snmp/snmp.conf, and /usr/local/share/snmp.conf

[rentsys]

No that's the only one I could find. I have a pretty basic install I haven't changed much. I have the same virtual machine that is downloaded from http://library.nagios.com/library/produ ... loads/main.

OK, I think that actually explains why this is happening. It seems that net-snmp does not autoload all mibs, but instead uses config files to dictate what to load beyond default mibs. I would suggest taking a look at the link below and specifically the "How do I make this happen all the time?" section to add your specific mibs in.

How do I find my system-wide configuration file? It says to run net-snmp-config --snmpconfpath but the command isn't on the system.

Looking at the snmpd.conf it doesn't appear you have modified it at all from it's defaults, and as it says around line 19

# As shipped, the snmpd demon will only respond to queries on the
# system mib group until this file is replaced or modified for
# security purposes. Examples are shown below about how to increase the
# level of access.

# By far, the most common question I get about the agent is "why won't
# it work?", when really it should be "how do I configure the agent to
# allow me to access it?"
#
# By default, the agent responds to the "public" community for read
# only access, if run out of the box without any configuration file in
# place. The following examples show you other ways of configuring
# the agent so that you can change the community names, and give
# yourself write access to the mib tree as well.

# For more information, read the FAQ as well as the snmpd.conf(5)
# manual page.
