By default snmpd only listens on 127.0.0.1, edit /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf:-
# AGENT BEHAVIOUR # # Listen for connections from the local system only #agentAddress udp:127.0.0.1:161 <--------------comment this line # Listen for connections on all interfaces (both IPv4 *and* IPv6) agentAddress udp:161,udp6:[::1]:161 <--------------uncomment this line

Restart the snmpd agents
Periodically on the HP dl360 servers, the HP snmp agent seems to fail and monitoring will report a whole series of errors at the same time. This script is installed in /root which restarts the snmp system every night at 1am.
# cat /root/restart-hp-snmpagent.sh #!/bin/bash #Written Andrew Stringer 07/06/2016 #Purpose is to restart the HP snmp agents as they tend to crash and require a restart of the agent. #This is intended to run from cron. echo `/bin/date` /etc/init.d/hp-snmp-agents restart /etc/init.d/snmpd restart exit 0 #
This is run from cron with:-
#restart the HP snmp agent. 0 1 * * * /root/restart-hp-snmpagent.sh > /root/restart-hp-snmpagent.log
