Enable SNMP on vmware 5.5 ESXi

Trying to start snmpd on vmware from where i get the following error:
Call "HostServiceSystem.Start" for object "serviceSystem" on ESXi "10.0.0.5" failed.

Turns out that more people are having this problem on ESXi, but there is an easy fix.
ssh into your server and run:

  • esxcli system snmp set --communities public
  • esxcli system snmp set --enable true
  • /etc/init.d/snmpd restart

  1. It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all, in which case you have failed by default. See the link below for more info.
