Monitoring with SNMP: SNMP package dependency changes

    XMLWordPrintableJSON

Details

    Description

      Ubuntu 11.04 requires libssl0.9.8, snmp-mibs-downloader, snmp, and snmpd. Issue a command such as the following to install these packages: sudo apt-get install libssl0.9.8 snmp snmpd snmp-mibs-downloader

      Starting with Ubuntu Server 12.04 (Current featured Amazon EC2 version), the snmp-mibs-downloader package is not available from the default repositories. You must edit your /etc/apt/sources.list to enable the "multiverse" repository and then sudo apt-get update before the package can be installed.

      Ubuntu bug report with more details:
      https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/net-snmp/+bug/843296

      Additionally, the libsnmp15 package is required as well.

      EC2 SUSE 11 also appears to be affected as observed by jonathan.

      SUSE Enterprise Linux requires libopenssl0_9_8, libsnmp15, slessp1-libsnmp15, and snmp-mibs. Issue a command such as the following to install these packages: sudo zypper install libopenssl0_9_8 libsnmp15 slessp1-libsnmp15 snmp-mibs

      For SUSE, couple changes needed here:
      1.) package slessp1-libsnmp15 is no longer available and can be removed from the list; snmp-mibs installs a later patch slessp3-libsnmp15 automatically (and can't be installed explicitly anyway).
      2.) to be consistent with the other platforms, the package list should probably also include net-snmp so tools like snmpwalk are available.
