HPUX SNMP

Appears we cannot view information regarding CPU, MEM and volumes..etc from HPUX host. SNMP test successful. We can view CPU, MEM and volumes..etc on LINUX host with no problems.

Any recommendation on how we can retrieve SNMP information from HPUX hosts in solar winds?

This is likely a configuration issue with the snmpd.conf. The most common configuration issue is with view restrictions. Remove all other view configuration statements from the snmpd.conf file and replace it with the one below. This will allow all OID's to be queried via SNMP. Once you've updated the snmpd.conf file, save your changes and restart the snmp daemon.

We've seen similar issues with HPUX and Solaris boxes. In addition to alterego's suggestion above I'd recommend verifying that the server is using a current version of net-snmp.

Ran into that problem on our HPUX 11.11 servers. Using net-snmp version 5.4 and modifying the conf file as suggested works. Make sure to disable HPUX's version of snmp if its running.

We suceesfully installed NET-SNMP on our HP UX host and net-snmp is now listening on port 1161.

We are still unable to verify SNMP from solar winds, snmp test failed.

I see three section in snmpd.conf, where do we place "view all included .1"?

Since installing NET-SNMP ensure you've updated the node in Orion to utilize port 1161. I've also attached a working copy of the snmpd.conf file you can use a reference.
