Annotation of embedaddon/ntp/ntpsnmpd/README, revision 1.1.1.1

1.1       misho       1: NTP SNMP subagent for Net-SNMP
                      2: 
                      3: Installation Guides:
                      4: 
                      5: - install net-snmp from source (configure, make;, make install)
                      6: - edit the snmpd configuration file (/usr/local/share/snmp/snmpd.conf):
                      7:   add the lines
                      8:    master agentx
                      9:    agentXSocket   tcp:localhost:705
                     10:   and check which read-only community is configured (should be "rocommunity  public")  
                     11: - start snmpd (sudo /usr/local/sbin/snmpd) and check that it is running correctly by running the command
                     12:   snmpwalk -v2c -c public localhost
                     13:   (which should output a lot of data values for the supported built-in MIBs of net-snmp)
                     14: - build the libntpq and the libntp library
                     15: - build the ntpsnmpd application (make) and run it (./ntpsnmpd)
                     16: - now you can run 
                     17:    snmpwalk -v2c -c public localhost enterprises.5597.99
                     18:   which should give you a list of all currently supported NTP MIB objects and their current values
                     19:   
                     20: Please note that currently I use a private MIB OID (enterprises.5597 is the Meinberg top level OEM OID and 99 is my temporary working space for this project). 
                     21: The final OID has to be registered with IANA and this is done by the RFC Editor when the NTPv4 MIB RFC is standardized. 
                     22: I will try to do this earlier in order to be able to have a working solution at the end of this project.
                     23: 
                     24: In its current state the daemon supports these objects:
                     25: 
                     26: ntpEntSoftwareName
                     27: ntpEntSoftwareVersion
                     28: ntpEntSoftwareVersionVal
                     29: ntpEntSoftwareVendor
                     30: ntpEntSystemType
                     31: ntpEntTimeResolution
                     32: ntpEntTimeResolutionVal
                     33: ntpEntTimePrecision
                     34: ntpEntTimePrecisionVal
                     35: ntpEntTimeDistance
                     36: 
                     37: They all use the libntpq library to access information from the ntpd instance with mode 6 packets.
                     38: 
                     39: Next step is to implement the status section of the MIB (section 2).
