My SNMP console will not receive traps directed to it, however, there are a couple of networked printers on my VLAN that broadcast SNMP Traps that are being received by teh SNMP console. SNMP community name is public on all systems i am working with. also, does anyone know how to load HP and/or compaq MIBS into pandora for the SNMP Walk functionality?

Thanks,

You should configure your the linux system that runs Pandora FMS Console and add MIB files to /etc/snmp/snmp.conf file (and restart apache).

/etc/snmp/snmp.conf directives for MIB management:

mibdirs DIRLIST
specifies a list of directories to search for MIB files. This operates in the same way as the -M option – see snmpcmd(1) for details. Note that this value can be overridden by the MIBDIRS environment variable, and the -M option.

mibs MIBLIST
specifies a list of MIB modules (not files) that should be loaded. This operates in the same way as the -m option – see snmpcmd(1) for details. Note that this list can be overridden by the MIBS environment variable, and the -m option.

mibfile FILE
specifies a (single) MIB file to load, in addition to the list read from the mibs token (or equivalent configuration). Note that this value can be overridden by the MIBFILES environment variable.

I also have added this question to our FAQ on

http://www.openideas.info/wiki/index.php?title=Pandora:FAQ#Adding_mibs_to_Pandora_FMS

I hope this helps.

okay. i have the SNMP Console receiving traps now. I actually ended up running the SNMPCONF utility to setup my conf files.

I am still not walking the MIBS though. I was kind of lost which command to put in the conf file. whether it is SNMP.conf or snmpd.conf.

if you have /home/myself/mymibs/xxxx.mib with your mib, just

a) edit /etc/snmp.conf

mibfile /home/myself/mymibs/xxxx.mib

b) save file

Try again the snmpwalk who use that mib

If do not work, try to forget step a&b and simply copy xxxx.mib to firectory /usr/share/snmp/mibs/ (rename to xxx.txt) and add filename to /usr/share/snmp/mibs/.index file

I want to figure out how to get the Pandora “SNMP Walk” to query the compaq/HP mibs. Do you think once i make these changes that should work?
Thanks everyone!!!! 😀

it doesn’t appear to be walking any of the compaq specific MIBS, just the standard stuff out of the Pandora BOX 🙂

I may just reboot to bring everything down and back up to see if that resovles any issues.

Thanks
