2011R1.8 - Mibs' Management Feature

Post by srrhd »

Hi,

I am looking for informations about the "Mibs' Management Feature" on the latest release of NagiosXI.

Does it only add the mib into /usr/share/snmp/mibs/ or does it also implement the mib into the snmptt.conf ?

I had troubles using this feature:
1- The feature tryes to copy the MIB as apache:apache and the directory was owned by root:root (rights=644 for directory and sub files) so i had to execute "chown -R apache:root /usr/share/snmp/mibs/" to avoid the permission error.
2- In the SNMPTT.conf file the imported MIB appears but with any trap defined.

I attach the mib files i tryied to implement, it seems correctly formated.

Did i make a mistake changing the ownership of the mibs directory ? Do i need to execute another command to implement the mib into snmptt.conf ?

Thanks for your help.

Aurelien.

As far as I know the MIB manager is intended more for the basic file management and viewing of the MIBS. As far as the directory permissions go, here's what I had set on my system:

Code: Select all

chown root.nagios /usr/share/snmp/mibs
chmod g+s /usr/local/share/snmp/mibs
This should allow you to upload to that directory while maintaining security on the system.
