That's correct - the Net-SNMP binary RPM-based distribution essentially
bundles all of the core functionality into a single RPM (i.e. net-snmp).
This covers what some other distributions (e.g. Fedora/RedHat) divide
between multiple RPMs.

They are not available as separate RPM packages when using the Net-SNMP
RPM configuration.   However the core net-snmp RPM spec includes the line

    Provides: net-snmp-libs, net-snmp-utils

So the core net-snmp RPM should be recognised by RedHat-based systems
as covering the functionality of these two RPMs as well.

Try
    rpm -q --provides -p net-snmp-5.5-1.x86_64.rpm

which should report this as such.
Installing our RPM should work fine.

Was there a particular reason for using a different packaging structure
to the one used by Redhat-flavour distros? Or did it just evolve separately?

Just curious...

Traditionally, we've tended to view the Net-SNMP project as a single entity.
So we started out (I think) by providing a simple RPM of the whole thing,
followed (very quickly) by splitting the tools and the development elements
into separate packages.
  Support for the perl modules came a little while later, as a separate RPM.

I believe that at when we started, RedHat was still shipping the UCD version.
so the RPM names were different anyway.   And of course the RedHat/Fedora
structure and naming conventions are different from the SuSE/Ubuntu ones.
(And there may well be other alternatives as well).

We're happy to try to make our binaries compatible with other vendor
provided distributions.   But I'm not sure there'd be much benefit from
trying to mimic them exactly - particularly given the range of systems that
we attempt to support.

Restart Failed Applications

Hi,

I have setup a process watch for httpd in my snmpd config

proc  httpd 10 1

with

procfix httpd /sbin/service httpd restart

to run after it finds no running processes.

I stop httpd is states an error:

[root <at> server ~]# snmpwalk -v 1 -c public localhost prTable
UCD-SNMP-MIB::prIndex.1 = INTEGER: 1
UCD-SNMP-MIB::prIndex.2 = INTEGER: 2
UCD-SNMP-MIB::prNames.1 = STRING: sshd
UCD-SNMP-MIB::prNames.2 = STRING: httpd
UCD-SNMP-MIB::prMin.1 = INTEGER: 1
UCD-SNMP-MIB::prMin.2 = INTEGER: 0
UCD-SNMP-MIB::prMax.1 = INTEGER: 10
UCD-SNMP-MIB::prMax.2 = INTEGER: 0
UCD-SNMP-MIB::prCount.1 = INTEGER: 3
UCD-SNMP-MIB::prCount.2 = INTEGER: 0
UCD-SNMP-MIB::prErrorFlag.1 = INTEGER: noError(0)
UCD-SNMP-MIB::prErrorFlag.2 = INTEGER: error(1)
UCD-SNMP-MIB::prErrMessage.1 = STRING:
UCD-SNMP-MIB::prErrMessage.2 = STRING: No httpd process running.
UCD-SNMP-MIB::prErrFix.1 = INTEGER: noError(0)
UCD-SNMP-MIB::prErrFix.2 = INTEGER: noError(0)
UCD-SNMP-MIB::prErrFixCmd.1 = STRING:
UCD-SNMP-MIB::prErrFixCmd.2 = STRING: /sbin/service httpd restart

so from readin i then need to set: UCD-SNMP-MIB::prErrFix.2 = INTEGER:  
noError(0)

to 1

with:

[root <at> server ~]# snmpset -v 1 -c public localhost prErrFix.2 i 1
Error in packet.
Reason: (noSuchName) There is no such variable name in this MIB.
Failed object: UCD-SNMP-MIB::prErrFix.2

i guess im doing something wrong :) but cant see what and would really  
appreciate some help.

Thankyou in advance for your replies :)

Kind Regards

Tony

Please see the FAQ entry
    Why can't I set any variables in the MIB?
        (http://www.net-snmp.org/wiki/index.php/FAQ:Applications_12)

In particular, note the last sentence of this entry.

Yes, this is a problem when trying to provide a single, cross-platform
solution. Athough, Ubuntu will require .debs rather than .rpms.

The benefit of using the same/similar packaging as a given distribution
is that it makes it easier for the vendor(s) to integrate your app into
their distribution.

It also makes it easier for users to use a later version of your app on
a platform where the vendor only distributes an earlier version, as it
will be a drop-in replacement rather then requiring any integration work.

I've hit this problem with other apps, eg. MySQL. Redhat bundle &
distribute MySQL in a particular way that is different to the RPMs
distributed by MySQL. I wanted to use the Percona HighPerf patches, but
their RPMs are also in the format used by MySQL rather than RedHat so
integrating them was a pain. I ended up using the RedHat .spec file and
updating it to the later version of MySQL that Percona use and applying
all their patches. This sort of thing can be avoided if the same
distribution format is used by both application developers & vendors.

different libnetsnmp*.so.15.1.2 but working as same

Hi, Net-SNMP users,

I'm checking my original table handlers implementation
that is working on the other embedded Linux platforms.
The handlers are implemented under mibgroup directory of compile machine,
and I collect libnetsnmp*.so.15.1.2 to extract them at the embedded 
platform.

I found out that there are two types of  libnetsnmp*.so.15.1.2 which are 
depended
on the making stages, "make" and "make install."

"make" gives libnetsnmp*.so.15.1.2 under some .libs/ directories.

"make install" after "make" gives same shared objects under the destination 
directories
specified by configure options.

Though both of these *.so.15.1.2 work fine on the embedded Linux platform,
there are a lot of binary level difference between them if compared.

Then Makefile tells me these differences are automatically created by 
"libtool" while
executing "make install".

What is the binary level of change of libnetsnmp*.15.1.2 caused by libtool?
Why both of them work as common if they are different each other?

Which one is better to be involved into the actual embedded platform?
I ordinary have used "make install" version of them, but if "make" only 
version
is capable of using enough without any problems, I will never do "make 
install" for
cross development because of avoiding the waist of time.

Thanks for your kind help in advance.

Hiroaki
