file monitoring

Hi All,

I've been trying to get SNMP file monitoring implemented, but I've been unsuccessful so far.  The ideal situation is that once a file size is larger than the specified threshold, a SNMP trap is sent to the monitoring software (OpsView in this case).  Currently the pertinent sections if my snmpd.conf file are:

<begin snmpd.conf>
agentSecName internal
rouser internal

defaultMonitors yes

file  "/var/lib/mysql/Syslog/SystemEvents.MYD" 657000
</end snmpd.conf>

Is there anything else I need to include to enable an SNMP trap to be sent?  Even though the file size is beyond the specified "657000", when I do an "snmpget" on the value, it returns a "0":

[leigh@syslog ~]$ snmpget -v 2c -c public localhost 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.15.1.3.1
UCD-SNMP-MIB::fileSize.1 = INTEGER: 0 kB

Since I've only configured one file to monitor, doing an snmpget for a second file returns:

[leigh@syslog ~]$ snmpget -v 2c -c public localhost 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.15.1.3.2
UCD-SNMP-MIB::fileSize.2 = No Such Instance currently exists at this OID

so I think I'm on the right track.  If anyone has any ideas or suggestions regarding my configuration, it would be much appreciated.

Regards,
Leigh
