[libvirt-users] libvirt-snmp on Ubuntu

[george john]

Hi,
Are there packages of "libvirt-snmp" for Ubuntu? Or instructions to compile libvirt-snmp on Ubuntu?
Looks like the instructions given at http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Libvirt-snmp are for RedHat.

Thank you,
George

You can use:

./autobuild && sudo make install

The autobuild script runs rpmbuild iff the /usr/bin/rpmbuild binary
exists. Unfortunately, I am not that familiar with Ubuntu to make .deb
package.

Thank you Michal. I verified the binary rpmbuild exists at /usr/bin/rpmbuild and ran autobuild but it failed with these errors:

Do you have libtool properly installed?

Are you sure you have pkg-config properly installed?

Thank you.
I was able to compile/install libvirt-snmp on Ubuntu by mainly following the instructions on:
http://lost-and-found-narihiro.blogspot.com/2013/01/how-to-install-libvirt-snmp-on-ubuntu.html

When I check the data returned by snmpwalk, I find that values for the UUID of the Virtual Guest, libvirtGuestUUID(1.3.6.1.4.1.12345.1.1.1.1) are not getting populated. This is a key piece of information. Does anyone know why this is not being populated?

Also I noticed that the value returned by libvirtGuestMemoryCurrent (current memory usage by VirtualGuest) is not the correct value. The value returned by this is same as libvirtGuestMemoryLimit (The maximum amount of memory (in MiB) that can be used by the virtual guest.).

Thanks.
