I’ve got a few 10.4.10 server machines, running on some different types of hardware – Intel Xserve, PowerPC Xserve, Mirror Door G4, even Intel Mac Mini Core Duo.

I’m trying to configure SNMP on each server to give me dskTable and prTable information.

Somehow I’ve got it to work on the PowerPC Xserve, snmpconf –i –g basic_setup more or less worked.  It’s even responding to Nagios checks and providing useful information.

The other 10.4.10 machines = no dice.  Snmpwalk returns nothing if I query ‘UCD-SNMP-MIB’ for dskTable or prTable.

Has anyone spent time trying to get snmpconf to setup process and disk monitoring?  Any tricks or known issues?

I’ve stood on my head trying to get this done, my servers just aren’t cooperating.

I figure I’ll try this forum before I burn an enterprise case.

Thanks.

Longer version of quick reply I sent to Paul

SNMP for Mac OS X on Intel is broke. Leave it alone, for that way lies madness. It should be fixed in Leopard.

Make sure that in /etc/hostconfig, you have SNMPSERVER=-YES-

For the most part, you can ignore much of snmpconf outside of snmpd settings. If you have the snmpd.conf file set up the way you want on the Xserve, dump it over to the other PPC machines, and then start snmp via sudo SystemStarter start SNMP

If you do that, and snmpd stays running, (note, it can sometimes crash within a few minutes of initial launch, even on boot. You want to manually check it if you reboot a system you’re getting SNMP data from), then you should be able to snmpwalk that system.
