    Hi all,
    First of all congratulations for this excelent piece of soft, this tool has the same good level as the commercial one..
    Now my question, I have installed the 1.2 virtual machine to test it in my net environment and I have a silly problem with the snmp agent, I think ¡ have doing something wrong.
    I try to add an new snmp agent and I give the name, the os (network), the server (only appear Pandora-fms_Net), and after this i try to assign modules, I give the community string and the mibs in the device are detected, I save the info but the device it’s never contacted and I can’ t get the information that I configure in the module.
    Any help please ??

    Check IP address for each network module. By default takes agent address, but check twice. You also need to have a network server running, of course.

    Hi nil, thanks for the answer,
    Really the ip it’s right .. just because when adding module I click on get value of the snmp in the snmp OID combo appear all the values that the device contain.
    So the ip should be the right one..
    For example if I would like to add a module just for the IF-MIB::InInDiscars.1 and select “remote_snmp” as a module type, and save the configuration I can’t get any information, or there is no polling process or the information it’s not stored or not displayed… or whatever..
    It’s is right done in this manner, and at last, I have checked the fms_net server it’s running of course, and all the other ones.
    Thanks for the help.

    Mmm…. check that assigned server is the right one, check that server dependencias (SNMP perl module and snmp tool are installed), check also that Agent is not disabled, and try to force manually the “refresh” of module. Try also to set loggin to max (10) and restart servers for get more information, this should work without any problems 😕
