Quick Start: Make sure you have UCD SNMP 3.6.2+ and the Perl SNMP module installed Copy snmpvar.mon to your mon.d directory Copy snmpvar.def to /etc/mon Copy snmpvar.cf to /etc/mon and edit to match your needs Test from mon.d directory with ./snmpvar.monitor -l host1 host2 ... Add watch/service to mon.cf, using snmpvar.monitor Common commandline options: --varconf=/path/to/snmpvar.def if neither /etc/mon nor /usr/lib/mon/etc --config=/path/to/snmpvar.cf if neither /etc/mon nor /usr/lib/mon/etc --community=your_SNMP_read_community if not 'public' Basic Troubleshooting: use snmpvar.monitor --list option to see variable values use snmpwalk your_hostname public .1 | less to verify SNMP agent
