[SOLVED] Probably NTFS rights problem

[Brainscanner]

Please do NOT ask me, what this machine want's to tell me, but...

Code: Select all

E:\Programme\Net-SNMP\bin>snmpwalk -v 1 -c public 127.0.0.1 .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3
Cannot find module (NOTIFICATION-LOG-MIB): At line 1 in (none)
Cannot find module (NET-SNMP-AGENT-MIB): At line 1 in (none)
Cannot find module (DISMAN-EVENT-MIB): At line 1 in (none)
Timeout: No Response from 127.0.0.1

E:\Programme\Net-SNMP\bin>snmpwalk -v 1 -c public 192.168.198.1 .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.
2.3
Cannot find module (NOTIFICATION-LOG-MIB): At line 1 in (none)
Cannot find module (NET-SNMP-AGENT-MIB): At line 1 in (none)
Cannot find module (DISMAN-EVENT-MIB): At line 1 in (none)
Timeout: No Response from 192.168.198.1

Now I reused the command just with the IP-addresses of 3 other machines. They worked, but I won't post the output here.

Ok, I try it again for the localhost, just not with 127.0.01, but 192.168.198.1 and 10.8.0.1 which are just two of that machines IPs. This will still not provide us with any results, not even a connection:

Code: Select all

E:\Programme\Net-SNMP\bin>snmpwalk -v 1 -c public 192.168.198.1 .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.
2.3

Cannot find module (NET-SNMP-AGENT-MIB): At line 1 in (none)

E:\Programme\Net-SNMP\bin>snmpwalk -v 1 -c public 10.8.0.1 .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3
Cannot find module (NOTIFICATION-LOG-MIB): At line 1 in (none)
Cannot find module (NET-SNMP-AGENT-MIB): At line 1 in (none)
Cannot find module (DISMAN-EVENT-MIB): At line 1 in (none)

But wait, what is this?

I just repreated the command -> Timeout. Immediately another try -> works.

So I think we can say, that it does work, but doesn't seem to be very reliable. It seems to work every second time. Not that I had any explanation for that strange behaviour. It does not at all work with 192.168.198.1 and 10.8.0.1 as destination address, only with 127.0.0.1.

I tried the usual stuff, rebuild poller cache, reindex, etc., but I simply don't get it this data (see screen). This does work for three other Windows machines I'm monitoring (both partitions and processor).

Weirdness.

I'd try removing and reinstalling the snmp agent. You're using the microsoft one, right?

Any firewall / antivirus? Possibly its blocking SNMP some times.

[Brainscanner]

Jippie!!

First: No firewall on that machine, but a Symantec Virus Scanner.

But the reinstall tip worked. First I reinstalled it, and look, I suddenly get processor information (I've never had this on that machine before).

Ok, now we've got that. That's very nice. It's like gambling: You either take your win and leave or try again at the risk of losing everything. Well I took the chance and got the jackpot. Quite.

It's offering me all partitions and processors for monitoring though two of the three partitions don't really give me any data.

But everything else is working fine. So it seems to be some error of the Microsoft snmp service.

Can you recommend a free alternative? I mean, it's working somehow now. If I can make it work for the other partitions as well that's okay with me and I don't need another one. But if I don't I might be obliged to permanently kick it from my machine.

UPDATE:
I just was naive enough to think another reinstall might actually show data from the other two partitions. But now I am right where I started...
So if you know another snmp daemon for Windows I am prepared to do what's necessary.

UPDATE 2:
Okay, yet another reinstall and a spoken threat to Windows I might install another daemon seem to have convinced him (yes him, not it). Right now all data sources from that machine throw results. As long as this is the case, I'm not going to change anything. But if you have a suggestion for another service - in case he changes his mind - it would be welcome

[BSOD2600]

Sounds like something is/was messed up with your Windows install to have the snmp service broken. Not a good sign. The windows box full patched?

Anyways, the only other snmp daemon I know of is the one that comes with net-snmp, but it causes other issues and doesn't provide all the data the microsoft one; hence it's not recommended to be used.

[Brainscanner]

Hm, seems I'm forced to bite the bullet. As long as it works...

Yes, the machine is fully patched, but I put it through a lot. The complete hardware was exchanged with a new one. Because it's also used as a local certification authority I am not really looking forward to reinstall it some day.
But after all this is only the second problem that might have been caused by the not-new-install. The overall stability is absolutely fine, so I didn't think it was necessary. We'll see.

Thank you very very much for your help and patience!
