SNMP-Interface Statistics can no longer be indexed.

[Digital.Diablo]

Morning All,

I've got a strange cacti issue.

Using Build v0.8.6h with all the official patches installed, no 'alternative' patches, except for a few templates (a Netscreen one for example), running on a RHL9 machine.

For some reason, I can no longer add devices using the interface.xml template/data query. When I add a generic SNMP device (for example a cisco device) I can get the Cisco CPU usage, but I can't get any interface details, it just says 'Success [0 Items, 0 Rows]'

The verbose query shows :-

Code: Select all

+ Running data query [1].
+ Found type = '3' [snmp query].
+ Found data query XML file at '/opt/lampp/htdocs/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
+ Found data query XML file at '/opt/lampp/htdocs/cacti/resource/snmp_queries/interface.xml'
+ Found data query XML file at '/opt/lampp/htdocs/cacti/resource/snmp_queries/interface.xml'
+ Found data query XML file at '/opt/lampp/htdocs/cacti/resource/snmp_queries/interface.xml'

However, if I ssh onto the box, and run SNMPWALK from the box, I get..

Code: Select all

snmpwalk -v 1 -c %mycommunitystring% 10.6.10.6 .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.1
IF-MIB::ifIndex.1 = INTEGER: 1
IF-MIB::ifIndex.2 = INTEGER: 2
IF-MIB::ifIndex.3 = INTEGER: 3
IF-MIB::ifIndex.4 = INTEGER: 4
IF-MIB::ifIndex.5 = INTEGER: 5

which seems to indicate that the query is correct and the device is responding as expected. I've tried recopying the /scripts and /resource files from another box which has an older, inactive backup of the system, but this is still the same.

All of my existing devices that have the SNMP-Interfaces Stats queries running on them seem to work fine, its just new devices that don't seem to work.

HELP!!!

The "new" targets where not set to SNMP V2 by accident within cacti?

Nope, I've checked that. Besides, the hosts respond to snmp 1 and 2 queries. And I've tried both settings within Cacti.

[Digital.Diablo]

Anybody? No? Dust? Anyone? No?

Please retry your cli test with the following snmpget options

Code: Select all

snmpget -c <community> -v 1 -O fntev <target> <OID>

The -O fntev options are used by cacti.

When I do that, I'm getting:-

Code: Select all

snmpget -c %mysnmpstring% -v 1 -O fntev 10.6.10.6 .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.1

-bash Timeout: No Response from 10.6.10.6.

I've tried it on a variety of devices, all of them are behaving in a similar fasion. All the devices respond to pings and snmpwalks.
So I take it something is up with snmpget? But what could it be?

Also I've just noticed that I'm getting lots of

Code: Select all

errors in my cacti.log file. So, the question is, whats broken?

Cheers!

So try to leave the -O parms one by one (may have a look at man snmpcmd to get the meanings of those parms) to check out the "bad" one ...

I've tried that, for each of the extensions, it doesn't work,

Code: Select all

Timeout: No Response from 10.6.10.6.

and I've tried every possible combination.

So I guess my snmpget is broken? But how to fix is the question?

I suppose so. Reinstall (from rpm) or compiling lastest stable version would be an option ...
