SNMP cyrus monitoring.

[Scott Adkins]

Taking a stab in the dark, do you have an SNMP server running on the
machine?  If you have the snmp tools installed, then check chkconfig
with the following command to see if you got the service configured
to start at boot time.  Before you turn on the snmp service via the
/etc/init.d scripts, make sure that you have it configured properly
(I am thinking in terms of access control).  Anyways, that is my
stab in the dark guess ;)

Oh, you will have to restart your cyrus server after you start the
snmp server, that way, cyrus will initialize properly with the snmp
server and start sending it stats.
