Configuration for embedded SNMP for ESX Classic and ESXi 4.0 and 4.1

If it needs to be re-created, a default snmp.xml file looks like this:

Edit the snmp.xml file in the /etc/vmware/ directory. After you edit the file you will need to restart the services "services.sh restart." This will not affect the VMs on the host.

<config>

<snmpSettings>

<enable>false</enable>

<communities></communities>

<targets></targets>

</snmpSettings>

</config>

Example:

<config>

<snmpSettings>

<enable>true</enable>

<communities>SNMPString</communities>

<targets>x.x.x.x</targets>

</snmpSettings>

</config>

restart the services "services.sh restart."
