I am still unable to monitor any ucdavis snmp linux variables through
tkined.
>From the box I run tkined from, I can type the following:
[root@solomon snmp]# snmpget localhost local_public .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.4.6.0
enterprises.ucdavis.memory.memAvailReal.0 = 44968
The snmpget program is the one that ships with the ucd-snmp package. This
works fine.
Now, I attempt to monitor this variable in tkined. I choose SNMP-MONITOR ->
Monitor Variable, and when it asks me what variable to monitor, I enter:
.1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.4.6.0
I immediately get the following popup window:
Monitor Variable .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.4.6.0 on 192.168.1.4: recvfrom failed:
connection refused
Now the error seems to indicate that this variable exists, but I do not have
permission to read it. However, I can retrieve the contents of this value
from the command line. How can I monitor this variable in tkined? Is the
format that I am using to represent the variable incorrect?
TIA

Sounds strange since the selection of the target has really nothing to
do with the MIB files you have loaded. Please check whether you can
read other basic information, such as the SNMPv2-MIB::system group.

Adam>
.iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.ucdavis.laTable.laEntry.laLoad.1

iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.ucdavis.laTable.laEntry.laLoad.1
Just use "laLoad". The monitoring script will walk the tree rooted at
laLoad and setup monitors for all instances found.

Make sure you can monitor simple standard things. If they work, start
to monitor the UCD agent.
If in doubt where the problem is, try to write a 5 line scotty script
which directly talks to the UCD SNMP agent and see what happens, e.g.
set s [snmp session -address xxxx]
$s walk x laLoad { puts $x }
$s destroy
