Help getting Proxmox app working

Follow-up to topic: Enabling Proxmox app

I’m in a similar state, where I (believe) I’ve followed the instructions:

  • added line in config.php
  • enabled “Unix Agent” and “Application” modules
  • enabled “Proxmox” app
  • Installed agent on my Proxmox server and verified it returns valid data by “telnet 192.168.10.7 6556”
  • other snmp data on that server is working just fine

However, the GUI App page still shows “? Proxmox” with no data from the system.

Running a docker install with the latest version.

Edit: If I force a Poller run with ebug, I can see it populating the VM’s and they show up on the App now - but the graphs all end up with rrd errors.

I had the same problem recently and figured out that the default access rules in my snmpd configuration
blocked access to the extension subtree.
So I enabled read only access to .1 and it worked now…

Can you give me an example?

This is a part of my snmpd,conf file (on the proxmox host):


###########################################################################
#SECTION: Access Control Setup

#This section defines who is allowed to talk to your running
snmp agent.

#Views
#arguments viewname included [oid]

#system + hrSystem groups only
#view systemonly included .1.3.6.1.2.1.1
#view systemonly included .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1
view systemonly included .1

#rocommunity: a SNMPv1/SNMPv2c read-only access community name
#arguments: community [default|hostname|network/bits] [oid | -V view]

#Read-only access to everyone to the systemonly view
rocommunity public default -V systemonly
rocommunity6 public default -V systemonly

In the default installation these rules are enabled:

view systemonly included .1.3.6.1.2.1.1
view systemonly included .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1

Which limits the access to the two MIB Subtrees - they not include the one needed for the extensions
I replaced them with:

view systemonly included .1

which gives full read access to the complete MIB tree.

DIdn’t seem to have any impact. I’m still seeing this when I try and display the graphs:

Have you restarted the snmp daemon after changing the conf file?

Yea, and the odd thing is that if I look at the poller output in the debug window I can clearly see the VM stats being returned. I even tried deleting and re-adding the proxmox server.

So - I ended up creating a new librenms server, using native install instead of docker - that seems to work just fine…

Good to hear that!!
I frankly had no idea anymore what could went wrong in your first install…
