SNMP Interface statistics not displaying properly

[uruk41]

Ok, so this is an interesting problem:

I have several elements out in the field that are not displaying their interfaces properly when SNMP interfaces are queried.

I compared and contrasted the verbose query on an element (almost identical) and found that there was a few extra lines which I will post down below.

ex1.txt (as attached) is an example of a good query, and ex2.txt is an example of a bad query.

The results of the queries look like this:

Good result:


Bad result:


I am curious as to what is causing this, because I have followed the same process adding both elements into cacti.

Has anyone seen this before?

Hmm, interesting. What versions of everything you running? Cacti fully patched?

[uruk41]

I'm running 0.8.6j

As far as I know, cacti is fully patched.

Hi

I had the same problem on RedHat 3 systems, the solution was to update the net-snmp* packages to latest version.

I will give that a shot, and let ya know if it works!

[uruk41]

updated net-snmp via yum and that did not seem to work. Any way for me to detect my version of net-snmp in order to ensure it's updated to what it should be?

snmpwalk --version

NET-SNMP version: 5.3 was the result of that query, should that be ok?

[gandalf]

Yep. That's quite current. Newest version is 5.4.1, by the way

Awesome, that seems to be fixing some of them, but not all. It's helping though, going through them one by one.

Current status:

Seems to me that after the update of net-snmp everything came back allright.

On some of my devices, snmp was hung up. I just re-pushed it to the device and rebooted, and POW! Finito.

Thank you all once again for your help. You are awesome!
