check_snmp on ubuntu
Posted: Wed Sep 10, 2014 7:36 am
Having compiled the latest version of nagios and the plugins from source on Ubuntu 12.04.5 as described here: http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... Source.pdf
Everything has been pretty straight forward setting up 100+ services on 16 or so hosts however after some more research I found that check_snmp was not configured because there was no net-snmp packages installed (might add that or a note to the prereqs for Ubuntu users in the pdf). Through searching these forums and google I have found numerous different ways to go about getting this installed after the fact but I am unsure which approach to take particularly being that there is no "net-snmp" package in the repositories but i can imagine the libs that are actually needed are there just under another name. Would it be sufficient to compile net-snmp from source then reconfigure nagios-plugins or simply install the nagios-snmp-plugins package from the repositories or some other approach?
snmp packages availible in the repositories:
Thanks,
Rick
