How to restart snmpd on Opensolaris after changing snmpd.conf?

  • 772

I need to restart snmpd after updating /etc/snmp/conf/snmpd.conf, so it recognizes the changes. I'm using Net-SNMP 5.4.2 on Opensolaris 10. I've tried these two:

snmpd restart
kill -9 pid

The kill command kills it and it fires back up under a new pid, but the new snmpd.conf changes do not seem to be recognized. I'm adding "disk /" to snmpd.conf, and testing to see what filesystems are mounted by:

snmpwalk -v 1 -c public localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.9.1.2

But this shows nothing, so I'm under the impression my addition of disk / is not taking. Am I restarting snmpd correctly?

snmp opensolaris snmpd

    This restarts snmpd:

    svcadm restart net-snmp

    By looking at

    svcs -a | grep snmp

    I realized the service is named net-snmp and not snmp, snmpd, or snmpdx. Opensolaris and snmp are both new to me.

  2. kill -9 kills the process. have you tried kill -HUP?

    From the docs:

    The Net-SNMP agent can be instructed to re-read the various configuration files, either via an snmpset assignment of integer(1) to UCD-SNMP-MIB::versionUpdateConfig.0 (.1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.100.11.0), or by sending a kill -HUP signal to the agent process.

  3. Does Net-SNMP use the SMF?

    If so, I would manage it with svcadm.

    For example

    svcadm disable snmpd
svcadm enable snmpd
