Re: [snmpsim-users] snmpsim On Linux

[Ilya E. <il...@gl...>]

You should configure snmpsim logging by adding the:

--logging-method=file:/var/log/snmpsim/snmpsimd.log

option (make sure to create /var/log/snmpsim/ owned by your dedicated 
user) and then look for further issues in the log file.

Alternatively can use syslog:

--logging-method=syslog:local1:debug
