https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/monitor-with-snmp/ Please improve the following sentence:
I may interpret this sentence that many distributions possibly use /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf instead of the suggested file name /etc/snmp/mongod.conf. This may be confusing, because MongoDB if configured with the snmp-agent configuration parameter will use that configuration file /etc/snmp/mongod.conf while at the same time you may have a snmpd daemon (such as Net-snmp) using /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf file as SNMP master configuration file. I would recommend clarifying this in the docs page. |

Hi Emilio, I've made the distinction between users on different distros a bit more clear and mentioned that permissions for /var/agentx may need to be changed. Let me know what you think. PR: https://github.com/mongodb/docs/pull/3117 Cheers, | |

Hi Brian, On ubuntu there is also another issue. By default the snmpd daemon uses tha path /var/agentx which is only readable and executable by root. So even if you set the correct permissions of the socket /var/agentx/master the mongodb user can't access it. You would need to run:
Please remember that MongoDB on RHEL/Suse/Generic linux uses the mongod user while on Debian/Ubuntu it uses the mongodb user by default. We need to deal with this in the documentation too. Kind regards, | |
