I receive this message when I attempt to add and process MIB's. I'm wondering if some file permissions are incorrect.

Failed to restart snmptt service

Does the init.d script need to be owned by the nagios group?

# ls -al /etc/init.d/snmptt
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1720 Nov  1 17:02 /etc/init.d/snmptt

I have already made the following changes per the interface's suggestion:

chown root.nagios /etc/snmp/snmptt.ini /etc/snmp
 1534  chmod g+w /etc/snmp/snmptt.ini /etc/snmp

No, this should be set via sudo

Was the service running already?

service snmptt status

open

visudo

At the bottom verify you have a line

NAGIOSXIWEB ALL = NOPASSWD:/etc/init.d/snmptt restart
