Specifying agentaddress in snmpd.conf

In our environment we have dozens of apache hosts running with multiple vhosts on the same machine. We'd still like to gather metrics using the snmp module but I cannot get the modules included with the agent to bind to an IP address other than local host.

I've tried the following permutations.

agentaddress HOSTNAME:1610
agentaddress IPADDRESS:1610
agentaddress FQDN:1610

Following the covalent documenation i tried snmpaddress which is an unrecognized parameter. Is it even possible to use a different non localhost address with this module?

Found the answer.

Format is PORT@IP or PORT@HOSTNAME
