Can't get SNMP index values with XML query, but snmpwalk can

Post by Deele »

I have been fighting for some time already, to get this working, but still, with no luck.
It's a "Alvarion Walkair3000 system" with 2933 enterprise ID, that I need to monitor.

SNMPWalk over device index OID .1.3.6.1.4.1.2933.1.2.17.1.1.1.1.1 returns:

Code: Select all

.1.3.6.1.4.1.2933.1.2.17.1.1.1.1.1.66049 = INTEGER: 66049
.1.3.6.1.4.1.2933.1.2.17.1.1.1.1.1.66050 = INTEGER: 66050
.1.3.6.1.4.1.2933.1.2.17.1.1.1.1.1.66051 = INTEGER: 66051
.1.3.6.1.4.1.2933.1.2.17.1.1.1.1.1.66052 = INTEGER: 66052
.1.3.6.1.4.1.2933.1.2.17.1.1.1.1.1.66053 = INTEGER: 66053
.1.3.6.1.4.1.2933.1.2.17.1.1.1.1.1.66054 = INTEGER: 66054
.1.3.6.1.4.1.2933.1.2.17.1.1.1.1.1.66055 = INTEGER: 66055
.1.3.6.1.4.1.2933.1.2.17.1.1.1.1.1.131585 = INTEGER: 131585
.1.3.6.1.4.1.2933.1.2.17.1.1.1.1.1.131586 = INTEGER: 131586
.1.3.6.1.4.1.2933.1.2.17.1.1.1.1.1.131587 = INTEGER: 131587
.1.3.6.1.4.1.2933.1.2.17.1.1.1.1.1.131588 = INTEGER: 131588
.1.3.6.1.4.1.2933.1.2.17.1.1.1.1.1.131589 = INTEGER: 131589
.1.3.6.1.4.1.2933.1.2.17.1.1.1.1.1.131590 = INTEGER: 131590
.1.3.6.1.4.1.2933.1.2.17.1.1.1.1.1.131591 = INTEGER: 131591
But when I use XML:

Code: Select all

		<oid_index>.1.3.6.1.4.1.2933.1.2.17.1.1.1.1.1</oid_index>
		<index_order>apmCurrentDeviceIndex</index_order>

				<oid>.1.3.6.1.4.1.2933.1.2.17.1.1.1.1.1</oid>
			</apmCurrentDeviceIndex>
		</fields>
Or even with regex

Code: Select all

		<oid_index_parse>OID/REGEXP:^.*\.2933(?:\.\d{1,3}){8}\.(\d{5,6})$</oid_index_parse>
		<index_order>apmCurrentDeviceIndex</index_order>

I think the error message is pretty self explanatory. You need to add <oid_num_indexes> in your xml file.

like this example:

Code: Select all

<interface>
	<name>Get SNMP Interfaces</name>
	<description>Queries a host for a list of monitorable interfaces</description>
	<oid_index>.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.1</oid_index>
	<oid_num_indexes>.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.1.0</oid_num_indexes>

	<fields>
		<ifIndex>
			<name>Index</name>
			<method>walk</method>
			<source>value</source>
			<direction>input</direction>
			<oid>.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.1</oid>
		</ifIndex>
	</fields>
</interface>

Thats not an error, thats warning with notice 'Index Count Changed' emulated by counting oid_index entries
oid_num_indexes is optional field, as said in all documents as most devices doesn't have such value.
Any way, I tried it, and got same result. I found one OID for that device, with integer value of 14. That time, only difference was, it used snmpget for oid_num_indexes OID, and got value 14, showed it - the next snmpwalk for indexes, returned 0.

The warning is indeed a warning only; there's no need to change that.
But I'm wondering why the sweep over the index does not return sensible data. May you please provide us with the snmpwalk statement that you've used on cli? Did you select specific snmp options for that?

No specific options, just for this case, I used -On output option to show numberic output. Without it, it would be:

Code: Select all

Can you do a wireshark trace while running a "Verbose Query"?

I am experiencing the same problem with 0.8.7i/spine

+ Executing SNMP get for num of indexes @ '.1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.3.2.1.3.0' Index Count: 86
+ Debug: cacti_snmp_walk(x.x.x.x,public,.1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.3.2.3.1.1,2) - sizeof(snmp_indexes)=0 (I added this to check)
+ Executing SNMP walk for list of indexes @ '.1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.3.2.3.1.1' Index Count: 0

I have compared packet captures from a 'verbose query' and manually from the CLI. The bulkget cacti requests has max-repetitions set to 20 but the device does not respond when it is above 17

~$ snmpbulkget -c public -v2c -Cr17 x.x.x.x .1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.3.2.3.1.1
MPLS-MIB::mplsLspName.'test1...........................' = STRING: test1

MPLS-MIB::mplsLspName.'test3...........................' = STRING: test3
MPLS-MIB::mplsLspName.'test4...........................' = STRING: test4
MPLS-MIB::mplsLspName.'test5...........................' = STRING: test5
MPLS-MIB::mplsLspName.'test6...........................' = STRING: test6

MPLS-MIB::mplsLspName.'test14..........................' = STRING: test14
MPLS-MIB::mplsLspName.'test15..........................' = STRING: test15
MPLS-MIB::mplsLspName.'test16..........................' = STRING: test16
MPLS-MIB::mplsLspName.'test17..........................' = STRING: test17

~$

max oid is set to 10 under the device and within the poller settings, so I am not sure if it is possible to change this value.

Thanks

I have resolved my problem.

snmp.c in php5-snmp has max-repetition hard coded to 20.

pdu->max_repetitions = 20;

I decreased this to 15 and recompiled php5-snmp, restarted apache and the snmp queries now work within cacti.

Juniper MX80 and RE2000 (MX240/480/960) as at JunOS 11.X. The Juniper routers do no respond if the max-rep is above 17.

Where did you find this file? I am hitting the same issues with Junos 12.2.

Wow, I just stumbled across the same issue. php-snmp unconditionally uses bulkwalk. You can't cahnge neither max-rep nor refrain from using bulkwalk. Only way to do this from "outside" is to use snmp version 1 instead of version 2. But this may have other drawbacks

Hi All,

I am also facing the same issue for juniper m120 qos and TE tunnel template.

i also tried to check snmp.c in php5-snmp but there is no max-repetition hard coded to 20.

I am using UBUNTU.

Kindly help me to resolve this issue.

I has similar error until i changed Data Input Metod in Data Template, it was "Get Scrip Data", i changed it to "Get SNMP Data".
