Disable SNMP in qlikview?

Hello, does anyone know if it is possible to change the SNMPPort in Qlikview or totally disable it?

Ived tried the different solution in the community (EnableSNMP=0) and writning in regedit, but everytime I reboot qlikview takes control over port 161.

Anyone with a solution to this problem?

I just tried both of these settings and they work on my server.

SNMPPort=

EnableSNMP=0

Yes,  to disable it.

Set the EnableSNMP Value to 0 in The QlikView Server Settings.ini ( This will stop SNMP for QlikView Server )

  • You will need to add this string " EnableSNMP=0 " to the settings.ini under the [Settings 7] line
  • Set the Key EnableSNMP to false in the File C:\Program files\Qlikview\Distribution Service\QVDistributionService.exe.config ( This will stop SNMP for Qlikview Distribution Service ), restart the Qlikview Distribution Service to apply the setting.

To change the port

Qlikview Distribution Service

<!-- ************ SNMP Settings in C:\Program files\Qlikview\Distribution Service\QVDistributionService.exe.config ************ -->

<!-- Set to true to enable snmp listener -->

<add key="EnableSNMP" value="false"/>

<!-- Port to use for Snmp. -->

<add key="SNMPPort" value="4721"/>

1: I allready had EnableSNMP in my settings.ini

2. The key Enable SNMP in DistributionService.exe.config was already set to false

3. I thought SNMP was using port 161? and not 4721?

How come if the port is 4721 it then takes over port 161?

Anyone with a solution? What BILL BRITT wrote, does not work.

Qlikview still blocks/binds to port 161/162

I have not tested the enablesnmp but it should work.What version are you running? Can you try

1.Open 'Settings' file
2. Under the [Settings 7] line add a line:

SNMPPort=<xxxxxx> (anything other than 161 to change the Port)
C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\QlikViewServer

You will need to stop QVS then restart it after you add the line.

Im running server 11.2.

Ill try to set it into settings.ini.

Does it also work if you restart your server?

Yes, restarting the server will do it too.
