2.1 How to obtain snmpmon

snmpmon 0.1 can be obtained from:

• http://www.netmeister.org/apps/snmpmon-0.1.tar.gz
• http://www.netmeister.org/apps/snmpmon-0.1.tar.bz2
• http://www.netmeister.org/apps/snmpmon_0.1-1_i386.deb

2.2 Requirements

In order to successfully use snmpmon, you need the following programs and libraries which are available on most platforms as distribution packages and thereby can be installed easily.

Required:

• Perl 5.x - available from http://www.perl.com
• Net::SNMP module for Perl - available from http://www.cpan.org

2.3 Installation

In order to install snmpmon on your system, type the following in the directory to which you downloaded the snmpmon distribution:

% tar zxvf snmpmon-0.1.tar.gz
% cd snmpmon-0.1
% su
% make install

This will install snmpmon in /usr/local/bin/ and copy the man-page into /usr/local/man/man1/. Should the perl executable not live in /usr/bin/perl, please edit the file snmpmon and change the first line accordingly:

If perl lives in /usr/local/pkg/bin/, change the first line from
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
to
#!/usr/local/pkg/bin/perl -w

Should you run into problems please report them to the the author at jschauma@netmeister.org
