Windows monitoring with SNMP

[Flava]

HI All,

I have installed SNMP services and configured community strings, however I cannot monitor windows hosts using windows snmp wizard. I can do snmp walk on the host. There are no connection restriction configured. Please assist.

Thanks

What is the windows version that you are using? Did you check the snmp security settings?

For example, in Windows 7 you would go to:

Start->Search box->services.msc->Enter->Right-click on SNMP Service->Properties->Security tab
- Accepted community names->Add->your_community_string
- Accept SNMP packets from these hosts->Add->your_Nagios_server_IP_address
or you can use "Accept SNMP packets from any host" (not recommended).

Apply. Restart the SNMP service.

If it doesn't work, try re-running the wizard. In step 2, don't enter anything under SNMP Authentication (leave defaults) until you get it going.

Hope this helps.
