snmpd config location

I'm wondering where to put the config file for snmpd?

If I run

snmpd -Dread_config -H 2>&1 | grep "Reading" | sort -u

I get back

read_config: Reading configuration /var/net-snmp/snmpd.conf

and looking at that file I see a explicit warning not to edit it or use it for configuring snmpd.

So I just created /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf and edited the init script to look for that config file:

/usr/sbin/snmpd -c /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf

Is there a cleaner way to do this? Because I know my changes to the init script will be overwritten if snmp is updated via pacman. Otherwise, snmpd is working well.

snmpconf

this command allows you to set snmpd.conf snmptrapd.conf and snmp.conf

Hi.

You can create a soft link:

# ls -l /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 sep 12 15:01 /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf -> /usr/share/snmp/snmpd.conf

Bye.
