<![CDATA[NetXMS SNMP Agent]]>Hi,

i'm quite new to netxms so sorry if the question is stupid but i'm trying to set it up now for 2 days.
the problem is the following:
i setup netxms server and one agent (for testing). the agent works as a netxms agent and all the data collection works fine. another thing i'd like to setup is snmp agent. how do i do that?
in the overview tab of the object browser of the node it lists SNMP agent as inactive. the same is when i click properties->capabilities (set to false). how do i activate snmp agent?

i hope i explained the problem.

tnx

libnxsnmp.so is not a subagent - it's just our SNMP client implementation used internally by NetXMS server and SNMP-related command line tools (nxsnmpget, nxsnmpset, and nxsnmpwalk). Names of subagent modules always starts with libnsm_.

Now I configured the SNMP agent and it works, but I have another question:
what is libnxsnmp.so subagent good for. I googled around but could not find anything.

Thank you in advance.

SNMP agent is not part of NetXMS. For Linux/FreeBSD/other UNIX'es you can use net-snmp package, Windows also has it's own native SNMP agent which can be installed via Control Panel -> Add/remove programs -> Windows components.
As soon as you install SNMP agent and add NetXMS server's address to list of allowed addresses for SNMP agent, it will detect SNMP agent presence during next configuration poll.

Best regards,
Victor
