Hello all,
I am here to see what im missing, and I am a Linux newb.

If this matters everything here is in AWS.

I am setting up, trying to, snmp v2c (i started by pulling down a new installation of snmp with apt-get install snmpd) for use with Observium. The Observium server is alive and well, and a few Windows servers are already communicating with it fine.
I also did no add this to Ubuntu specifically as I will also have Amazon Linux, Centos, and Debian to do this with as well once im done here.

OK, if it matters im using nano for editting.
I have read several tutorials and all are similar and I have tried most combo's I can think of from the info i have found.

agentAddress udp:161,udp6:[::1]:161

Gave errors about not communicating with 127.0.0.1

agentAddress udp:0.0.0.0 with or without /24 at the end it reflected the IP address and when I checked status after restarting the service got this message:
Active: failed (Result: exit-code) then gives date and time stamp.

Per other instructions I have also read i tried at the end of the agentAddress line after the ip (space)udp:161 and this produced the same error.

Also i do have the rocommunity (communityname) there as well and the rocommuinity6 listing, I have tried with one\the other\both

I can ping the observium server from here so i know it can see it, and windows servers are working just fine connecting, but a majority of the companies servers are linux, so this needs to work.

The error feels very vague to me, maybe it isnt to a non-newb

I am 100% confident this is a me issue, not a server issue, so if someone could point me in the right direction i can get this squared away.

Thanks all!

I am still looking on my own and have been trying things based off of this link https://www.systutorials.com/docs/li...nmpd.examples/
I can provide a pic of my conf file, as I have been using # to blot out failed attempts so I can see what all i have tried, and when it became clear I might need advice i kept doing that so I could show what I had done.

I am currently seeing:
Error opening specified endpoint "IP address"
Server Exiting with code 1


Im gonna keep testing, and hope I get some info form those of you who know more than me.

OK, still haven't gotten it running and I am starting to run out of possible combos, but I am thinking this is a syntax error.

I am getting consistent:
Error opening specified Endpoint "ipinfo..."

The thing is I have seen like 8 or 10 different examples of "correct" syntax. Can you guys take a look at the list below and see if you can see where I am going wrong. For the sake of being exact I will type [space] and all ips will be 192.168.0.1

agentaddress[space]udp:192.168.0.1:161
agentaddress[space]udp:192.168.0.1/24
agentaddress[space]udp:192.168.0.1
agentaddress[space]192.168.0.1[space]udp:161
agentaddress[space]udp:161,udp6:[::1]:161
this one felt kinda redundant but it was in a tutorial so wth, but same error
agentaddress[space]udp:192.168.0.1[space]udp:161

The 192# is the ip for the observium server, which I can ping from the box im getting the errors on. Being that I keep getting errors regarding not being able to open the endpoint, i figure it is something wrong with how I am presenting the info, ie the syntax.

As this is a forum filled with people who know more about linux than me, I would really appreciate some help\advise

Thanks All!
