I locked myself in my office last night... and eventually got a lab box
working correctly. SNMPStats load, sends traps, and generally acts happy.
With CentOS, I found there were lots of package dependencies, and I just had
to get them all installed correctly.
So now that I've played with it for a while, it seems to me that SNMPStats
is really designed to be a trap generator for something like OpenNMS or HP
Openview. And I think it works great for those situations where you want to
generate an alarm upon reaching a particular threshold.
What I can't get it to do is respond to an SNMP query from my Cacti or MRTG
servers... instead of SNMPStats alerting me when it reaches a threshold, I
want to query it regularly and graph the answers, so I know when it is
approaching the thresholds.
Should SNMPStats enable me to do that?
If not, how do others gather that type of information (how many current
dialogs, etc?) I am running the Dialog and Statistics modules, and querying
the dialog table every five minutes to get the number of current dialogs for
a particular IP address right now.... but there has to be a better (ie, more
automated) way that I am missing, right?

SNMPstats registering with the master agent (going off of
http://www.openser.org/docs/modules/1.3.x/snmpstats.html, section 1.6.4).
No errors, no success, nothing.
Hi Michael,
you could increase the debug level to get more information about the
activity of the module.
I suspect the module was built with an older version
of OpenSER, and some
change has broken the module, and no one has noticed. That is why I was
curious if anyone is using it... if anyone is using it successfully, then
the problem must be on my end.
Are you using "fork=no" in the config file? I found something related to
this in the commit in rev 2625 that probably could cause problems. Perhaps
this change breaks also some other functionality in the module..
Cheers,
Henning
