Sometimes you need an snmp source for testing something in Checkmk. For this, you can use the snmp daemon.
This short manual is tested with Ubuntu 20.4 and is not supported by Checkmk.
Step-by-step guide
root@linux# sudo apt install snmpd snmp
The file /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf contains the configuration of SNMPD. To query the SNMP from different sources, comment the below line:
/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
#agentaddress 127.0.0.1,[::1]
Restart the snmp service.
root@linux# /etc/init.d/snmpd restart
Now you can create a snmpwalk by using snmpbulkwalk. This will work local as well as remote.
root@linux# snmpbulkwalk -v2c -c public mysnmpdtesthost01
