I'm trying to get my feet wet using SAM and a 30-day trial here, so please excuse the newbie question.
In trying to monitor a Centos 6.4 target machine using a SAM 5.5.0 server, I first installed net-snmp 5.5 on the target and used snmpconf to get me going. I didn't do much config for performance, just mainly open up access. IPTables are turned off.
I can successfully do "snmpwalk -v2c -cpublic <target ip address> system" from another (Solaris) machine.
But when I change the poling method for the target machine from "ICMP " to "SNMP and ICMP" and use the "test" button on that page, it seems to time-out and say "Test Failed".
Any log I can look through to get a bit better idea of what's failing? And BTW, all 3 sysems are in the same network.
Thanks for any pointers....Lyle
A Progress Update:
I found the c:\"Program Files (x86)"\SolarWinds\Orion\SnmpWalk.exe utility on the SAM server.
Maybe there's an easy way to run that utility from within SAM, but I ran it by hand, and it generated the output of the snmpwalk just fine.
So there's some other reason for the "Test Failed" message.
