snmp verification

[joe clark]

Besides using netstat, how do others out tell what applications are using snmp, or if in use at all. Thanks

Take a look at

/var/adm/snmpd.log

As an activity log it should help you track things down.

If you have lsof installed

http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Sysadmin/lsof-4.67/

you can do

lsof -i udp:161
lsof -i udp:162

and it will list any processes listening on these ports.

Most of the logs have old entries, below is one of them, yet some of our oracle applications and network monitoring may be using this service, yet the log isn't updated. I want to shut it off if no one is using it, tracking it down doesn't seem easy here. Message in logs "o such type in ParseType (85) (0x55)
at line 1046 in file /view/agent.alpine/DE/snmpr/s
eclib/prse_pkt.c "

Some possibly more useful infromation.

No comment on my first attempt(ahem pathetic though when it wasn't working I did get log messages in there).
