-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 RPMs will need
-to be installed. This is typically seen as attempts to build res_snmp
-as net-snmp-devel is available, but then fails to find certain
-libraries. The packages 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).
