I have a small program that I am preparing for release. As part of its functionality, it queries SNMP for a few statistics.

The MIBs in question are installed by the default net-snmp package, but are not enabled by the default /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf.

I would like to ship a custom configuration file with my RPM, but I do not want to modify /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf (in case any of my users have custom configuration in there already).

Is there a way to ship a separate snmpd.local.conf file (or something similar) and have it take effect, without modifying /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf? man snmp_config(5) seems to imply that it is possible but nothing I try seems to have any effect.

There are IncludeDir and IncludeFile options available from RHEL/Centos 6.5:

  • Do you know if these are "checked" at all, or are the configuration files just naively concatenated and evaluated by snmpd?

  • Thanks - ended up adding an includeDir to a snmpd.local.conf file.
