-Asterisk SNMP Support
----------------------
-
-Rudimentary support for SNMP access to Asterisk is available. To build
-this, one needs to have Net-SNMP development headers and libraries on
-the build system, including any libraries Net-SNMP depends on.
-
-Note that on some (many?) Linux-distributions the dependency list in
-the net-snmp-devel list is not complete, and additional packages will
-need to be installed. This is usually seen as configure failing to
-detect net-snmp-devel as the configure script does a sanity check of
-the net-snmp build environment, based on the output of
-'net-snmp-config --agent-libs'.
-
-To see what your distribution requires, run 'net-snmp-config --agent-libs'.
-
-You will receive a response similar to the following:
--L/usr/lib -lnetsnmpmibs -lnetsnmpagent -lnetsnmphelpers -lnetsnmp -ldl
--lrpm -lrpmio -lpopt -lz -lcrypto -lm -lsensors -L/usr/lib/lib -lwrap
--Wl,-E -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/CORE
--L/usr/local/lib
-/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a
--L/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/CORE -lperl -lresolv -lnsl
--ldl -lm -lcrypt -lutil -lpthread -lc
-
-The packages required may include the following:
- * bzip2-devel
- * lm_sensors-devel
- * newt-devel
-
-SNMP support comes in two varieties -- as a sub-agent to a running SNMP
-daemon using the AgentX protocol, or as a full standalone agent. If
-you wish to run a full standalone agent, Asterisk must run as root in
-order to bind to port 161.
-
-Configuring access when running as a full agent is something that is
-left as an exercise to the reader.
-
-To enable access to the Asterisk SNMP subagent from a master SNMP
-daemon, one will need to enable AgentX support, and also make sure that
-Asterisk will be able to access the Unix domain socket. One way of
-doing this is to add the following to /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf:
-
- # Enable AgentX support
- master agentx
-
- # Set permissions on AgentX socket and containing
- # directory such that process in group 'asterisk'
- # will be able to connect
- agentXPerms 0660 0550 nobody asterisk
-
-This assumes that you run Asterisk under group 'asterisk' (and does
-not care what user you run as).
