re:WARNING: Result from SNMP not valid. Partial Result: U..

Many of you have probably seen this in your logs, and indeed, there are many causes for it.

I think I have discovered one case, and a fix that seems to work.

In my case, I was monitoring switches with _many_ interfaces.

I turned up debugging, found the OID it was trying to read, plugged it into my MIB browser, and ... it wasn't there!

RTFMing, it turns out the last field in this OID is fairly dynamic, and if one's interfaces are dynamic also(we're moving servers from this switch to another), you may end up with orphaned OIDs.

A fix that worked for me was to go to the devices screen, and update the data query for the interfaces(and related queries, in my case the RFC1643 stats). For good measure, I cleared the poller cache.

There is probably a better way to do this, but here is a start.

You need to keep the "verify all indexes" option selected and this will almost eliminate the OID mismatches.

Where is the "verify all indexes" option?

I found a "verify all fields" option... I had to delete the data query and
recreate it with verify all fields" to enable it.

Is there a way to make this the default instead of "uptime goes backwards"?

Thanks!

Visit "Devices"m select one of them. Scrol down to "Associated Data Queries". Find the column "Re-Index Method". The official method is to delete the Query if the option has a wrong setting and to reapply using the correct setting.
The inofficial one is to change the table directly.

Hi

excuse me but I don't understand the process to update Associated Data Querys without have to delete the item first.

I did the same as georgew. First I removed the item (SNMP - Interface Statistics with Uptime Goes Backwards ) and then I added the same item with Verify All Fields.

Is this ok? Or are there any way to update item without erase it? Anyway, is Very All Fields de right option to avoid "SNMP Partial result U" issue?

Thanks a lot

You click the red "X" to the right of the Data Query when editing the host. Then, you pick the same "Data Query" from the Dropdown just below it, choose Reindex Method ???, then click on the "Add" button.

Hi All,

thanks.

Verify all field is evil. However, I should not log that message if the method is verify all fields. Can you log a bug for me? Http://bugs.cacti.net

Anything new with that issue?

Why do you descripe this feature as evil?

This are the ones you have to change to "3";
