    Unable to run snmpwalk command

    Hello,

    We recently installed Zabbix on a AWS Ubuntu EC2 instance and cannot get the snmpwalk command to run. When we follow the command shown from https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...itemtypes/snmp we get an error saying "command not found".

    According to the directions in the link above "To get a list of SNMP strings, use the snmpwalk command (part of net-snmp software which you should have installed as part of the Zabbix installation)" but we don't recall anything mentioned in the Zabbix installation documentation that mentions installing net-snmp software.

    We've tried running `apt-get install snmpwalk` and other variations, but the package doesn't seem to exist in the standard Ubuntu repos. Below is from our sources.list file.

    deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-security main restricted
    deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-security universe
    deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-security multiverse

    My question is if this missing software is due to the pre-configured Ubuntu instance or is there a different problem on why this software is not installed ??​

    apt-get install net-snmp ?

    I am pretty sure snmp stuff is pretty standard and is present in all kind of distros. So I assume its a question of pre-configured instance. You do not really need snmpwalk to run Zabbix, that's why it is not installed probably.. there a snmp libraries needed, but I suppose those come with different package...
