Undefined variable: snmp_value in /usr/src/cacti/lib/snmp.ph

Post by billh »

Hi,

Looking for some help here.

I installed this on: FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE-p24

I have cacti running, but when I add a polling host I cant seem to get SNMP data returned.

On the top of the "Polling Hosts" page for the specific host I see

Notice: Undefined variable: snmp_value in /usr/src/cacti/lib/snmp.php on line 225
SNMP error

Also when I do a verbose query I get

+ Running data query [1].
+ Found type = '3' [snmp query].
+ Found data query XML file at '/usr/src/cacti/resource/snmp_queries/interface.xml'
+ XML file parsed ok.
+ Executing SNMP walk for list of indexes @ '.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.1'
+ No SNMP data returned

I have MRTG installed and if I do a simple "cfgmaker community@host" I get the correct data returned.

When I look at line 225 in /usr/src/cacti/lib/snmp.php I see that $snmp_value is the undefined value. Before I did some short order digging, but I thought it was prudent to ask here before I chase my tail to much :wink:

Oh, snmp versions on the FreeBSD machine are

# snmpget -V
NET-SNMP version: 5.0.9

# snmpwalk -V
NET-SNMP version: 5.0.9

Thank you in advance for any help

If you click on the Cacti logo to bring up the about page, what does it read for "PHP SNMP Support"?

You might have better results using PHP's SNMP module under Windows then trying to call snmpwalk or snmpget directly. I am pretty sure that you can compile net-snmp for Windows, but I have yet to test this. You can enable PHP's SNMP module by uncommenting 'extension=php_snmp.dll' in your php.ini file.

Thx Rax ;).....
polling is working now......i only disabled php snmp pollinh a while ago, because it couldn't handle the 64-bit counters. I'll just work without that option for a while then :(

Where can you get a hold of snmpwalk/snmpget binaries for Windows by the way? I'll test Cacti with these binaries when I get the chance. Also, you can get around the 64-bit issue for a little while by increasing the polling interval of cmd.php. You can poll a max of about 113 mbit in 5 minutes using 32-bit counters, and can almost double this by increasing the interval to 3 minutes.

i got my binaries here a while ago......always worked perfect.
http://src.teras.net.id/?hid=snmp

used the ucd binaries ofcourse ;)

problem is that at work i need the 64-bit counters for polling stm-1,stm-4 and gigabit interfaces. That worked great always. Problem is that we don't have a free unix-machine at the moment so windows always did the trick.
I always test the new cacti at home first at my windows server and got the snmp problems there so i didn't upgrade at work yet.

It seems that a change I made a while back (bug#102 - escaping community strings with apostrophes) is causing problems under Windows. It appears that the Windows ucd-snmp binary sees the apostrohpe as a regaular character rather than an escape character.

Can you try the following pre-patched file and see if it helps?

Yes man!!....It's working again now. Turned everything back to my old settings and copied your snmp.php file over the old one. Works perfect!
Thx :D
