Strange thing with snmp poller.

Post by Vitriol »

I have a problem with polling some OID of my localhost snmpd. This OID is generated by a script. There are 4 actually the same OIDs, but three of them are generated normally and one not.
There is cacti log:

Code: Select all

 07/10/2007 12:55:25 PM - CMDPHP: Poller[0] Host[13] DS[267] SNMP: v1: localhost, dsname: snmp_oid, oid: .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.553.101.1, output: U

when i poll this through snmpwalk utility i see no problems:

Code: Select all

%ttyp0 ~/snmp>snmpwalk -v 1 -c public localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.553.101.1

UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.552.101.1 = STRING: "9"
%ttyp0 ~/snmp>snmpwalk -v 1 -c public localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.582.101.1                                                                     
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.582.101.1 = STRING: "2"
%ttyp0 ~/snmp>snmpwalk -v 1 -c public localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.581.101.1                                                                     
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.581.101.1 = STRING: "20"
What does this "output: U" mean?

It means that Cacti could not interpret the result, or there was some timeout that prevented the correct result from returning in time. Typically, when that happens, you get another message in your log though.

For those wondering, I'm still here, but lost in the shadows. Yearning for less bugs. Who want's a Cacti 1.3/2.0? Streams anyone?

How can I find what timeout I have? Can it be tuned up?
