Dumb Linux SNMP question

I'm running Ubuntu and have snmpd running. I can do an snmpwalk:

snmpwalk -c public -v 1 localhost .1

and I get back about 20 values (SNMPv2-MIB -- mostly system description/name/uptime stuff).

Where are the memory, disk and network values? I've tried querying specific OIDs that I found Googling and they're not found.

I assume I have to enable memory/disk/network/etc somehow but can't figure out how (I've spent a lot of time Googling -- apparently this question is so noobish that no one else has asked it???).

Thanks for any insight.

Solution

  • Change this /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf

    com2sec paranoid default public
#com2sec readonly default public
#com2sec readwrite default private

    part to:

    #com2sec paranoid default public
com2sec readonly 127.0.0.1 public
#com2sec readwrite default private

    Restart snmpd:

    sudo /etc/init.d/snmpd restart

    Then try this one:

    snmpwalk -c public -v 2c 127.0.0.1 .
