Install SNMPD
$ sudo apt-get install snmpd
Create a backup file of snmpd.conf original file that we will edit later
$ sudo mv /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf.ori
Create the new snmpd.conf file
$ sudo vim /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
Add the file with these lines
rocommunity public
syslocation "Your Location"
syscontact [email protected]
Then edit the /etc/default/snmpd file
$ sudo vim /etc/default/snmpd
Disable this line below by adding # in front of the line
#SNMPDOPTS='-Lsd -Lf /dev/null -u snmp -g snmp -I -smux -p /var/run/snmpd.pid'
And add a new line
SNMPDOPTS='-Lsd -Lf /dev/null -u snmp -I -smux -p /var/run/snmpd.pid -c /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf'
Restart the SNMPD service
$ sudo /etc/init.d/snmpd restart
