Hello,
I'm trying to install snmp on my server (redhat Linux FEACS 3.10.0-229.el7.x86_64), but I have an issue when I try to start snmp, the error is:
[[email protected] log]# service snmpd start
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start snmpd.service
Job for snmpd.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status snmpd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
commands results:
[[email protected] log]# tail /var/log/snmpd.log
Error opening specified endpoint ""
Server Exiting with code 1

1. Install net-snmp with yum:
2. Create a simple SNMP configuration:
Add the following to /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf ; Replace 1.2.3.4 with the IP address of the server that you want to allow SNMP lookups from:
3. Start the SNMP service, and set it to auto-start on reboot:
If you have a firewall configured, ensure that you have UDP port 161 open to your SNMP lookup server.
On your SNMP lookup server, you can do the following to perform a quick SNMP test to ensure that it’s working. Replace 1.2.3.3 with the server’s address that you just configured SNMP on:
