I am trying to setup auto discovery and added the necessary items to config.php according to this. I get the following error when tring to run snmp-scan.py:

librenms@librenms:~$ ./snmp-scan.py
Could not import ipaddress module.  Please install python-ipaddress or use python3 to run this script
Debian/Ubuntu: apt install python-ipaddress
RHEL/CentOS: yum install python-ipaddress

Should I install ‘python-ipaddress’? I have the discovery by IP line commented out by the way.

FYI:

Auto-Discovery != snmp-scan.py.

Auto-Discovery rely in arp/xdp to discover new devices. It is run every 6 hours by default.

snmp-scan.py is for manually scanning networks.

Ok, got that. Thanks

As for running a manual scan, should I install ‘python-ipaddress’?

From the output.

I’m asking if I should I actually do that? Or is something else wrong/going on?

If you want to use it, yes install.
