I have Nagios XI running on VMware Linux CentOS release 5.4 (Kernel 2.6.18-164.9.1.e15 on an i686)
I installed it from VMware image downloaded from Nagios download site.
It is running Nagios XI 2011R1.5.
The host OS is Windows 7.

NagiosXI is keep receiving SNMP Error emails every 5 minutes - see attachment.
What is causing this error and how to fix it?

Is it ok if I turn off the SNMP since I am not using SNMP at all in my NagiosXI?
Also, how can I turn off SNMP in my NagiosXI?

The problem is that MRTG got configured maybe through a wizard (maybe the Network Switch / Router)
you can open the file

Code: Select all

/etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg

replace the whole file with

Code: Select all

HtmlDir: /var/www/mrtg
ImageDir: /var/www/mrtg
LogFormat: rrdtool
LogDir: /var/lib/mrtg
ThreshDir: /var/lib/mrtg

WorkDir: /var/lib/mrtg

or comment out all lines that have [192.168.1.*] in them by placing a # at the beginning of the line

Thanks. Yes, that prevented any further SNMP Error emails.
I appreciate your support.
