Ability to disable SNMP for VRRP keepalived service
Closed, ResolvedPublicBUG

Description

Ability to disable SNMP for keepalived.service or disable it by default if not configured snmp/enable-snmp option
In some cases, keepalived with enabled SNMP could be a cause of a bug and generates a lot of logs like:

Only one option to fix it

sudo nano -c +11 /usr/lib/systemd/system/keepalived.service

And replace string:

ExecStart=/usr/sbin/keepalived --use-file /run/keepalived/keepalived.conf --pid /run/keepalived/keepalived.pid --dont-fork --snmp

to string:

ExecStart=/usr/sbin/keepalived --use-file /run/keepalived/keepalived.conf --pid /run/keepalived/keepalived.pid --dont-fork

Mentions in the code:
disable/delete --snmp option
