 Description   

Under SERVER-11147 the mongod snmp configuration file (mongod.conf) has been replaced by 2 new files:

  • mongod.conf.master (an SNMP master config file - identical to the former mongod.conf file)
  • mongod.conf.subagent (an SNMP subagent config file)

We need to change our MongoDB 2.6 documentation to reflect.
Changes should include:

  • Referencing the new files and making clear that one should be chosen based on whether mongod will run as snmp master or subagent.
  • Provide instructions to either rename the new file or symlink to it as "mongod.conf" at the same location mongod.conf lived previously.
  • Mention that if run as subagent, the snmp master process will have to define "agentXSocket" and optionally "agentXPerms" in its config, with the same settings used in mongod.conf.subagent
  • Mention that if running mongod as subagent under windows the "agentXSocket" should be changed from defining a unix domain socket to tcp. Note that there is an example tcp line in mongod.conf.subagent that is commented out.
