e appropriate location (note: Don't use a location like file://..., but http://...!). You should neither see the C nor the C instructions. After this is done, select a password protected directory and put the files from the "html" directory into it. That's all. You might start the "snmpmon" utility when the system comes up. See "Starting the monitor" and "Stopping the monitor" below for instructions what to perform when booting or shutting down. Finally you should manually edit the configuration file. This is by default located in /etc/snmpmon/configuration but you might have choosen another location while installing the module. Note that what you are editing is Perl source! You are bound to the restrictions and you have all the power of Perl in this file. However, when done editing, do yourself a favour and check, whether you have created correct Perl code again by doing a perl -e 'require "/etc/snmpmon/configuration"; print "ok\n"' For a detailed description of the configuration file, see perldoc SNMP::Monitor::Install 4.) Adding routers While installing the SNMP::Monitor package, a file like "/etc/snmpmon/configuration" should have been created for you. Typically it includes one router. Of course you are by no means restricted to a single router: You can add more routers at any time by doing a snmpmon --add 5.) Removing routers When playing with the configuration file, you might need to remove a router. This can be done with snmpmon --remove 6.) Starting the monitor Once you have initialized the system, try a snmpmon --start or snmpmon start If something goes wrong, you should receive an email that tells you an error message. 7.) Shutting down the monitor When the system is shutting down, you can do a snmpmon --stop or snmpmon stop Note, that no accounting information is created in that time! 8.)
