krfitzgerald Mar 9, 2012 10:07 AM (in response to DanielleH)is there a way to do this besides the command line? the instructions say to use the script vicfg-snmp.pl in the bin directory but that script is not there?

Re: how to configure snmp on an ESXI host through the vsphere client
Michael Melton Mar 9, 2012 10:26 AM (in response to krfitzgerald)You can WinSCP into the server and 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.
Example:
<config>
<snmpSettings>
<enable>true</enable>
<communities>SNMPString</communities>
<targets>x.x.x.x</targets>
</snmpSettings>
</config>
