From cacti I receive snmp error. When use snmpwalk i get all information without problem, when use php script in cli, receive all snmp information. this is a php script launched from cli.

<?php
$data=snmprealwalk('192.168.0.4:161','public',null);
print_r($data);
?>

Hi,

I also have a similar problem. I have Cacti 0.8.6h installed on a Suse 10.1 machine.

I am monitoring some servers. I have no problem with most of the servers except with a Debian Sarge server.

snmpwalk queries are ok from the command line but from Cacti shows "SNMP Error" message.

I use snmp version 1.
In the log file i see this error:
status_last_error = 'Host did not respond to SNMP'
Can anyone give an advice on this problem?

Thanks

Hi

what "Downed Host Detection" method do you use ?
It's configured in Settings -> Poller -> Poller Host Availability Settings

Also, can you run this SNMP query :

Code: Select all

$ snmpwalk -v 1 -c public xx.xx.xx.xx .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0
SNMPv2-MIB::sysUpTime.0 = Timeticks: (27202424) 3 days, 3:33:44.24
When using SNMP as "Downed Host Detection" method, if this OID doesn't return anything the host is marked as down.

Hi,

Thanks for the fast reply.
I'm using Ping and SNMP with UDP ping.

Code: Select all

# snmpwalk -v 1 -c zzz xx.xx.xx.xx  .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0
DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (1480700) 4:06:47.00
What i think is that the cacti_snmp_get function has something that my server does not recognize and it answer "". But I don't know how to fix it.

I tried but still the host appear to be down.

What I have also noticed is that I get no reply in Snmp query interface.

If I

Code: Select all

snmpwalk -v1 -c zzzz xx.xx.xx.xx .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.1
End of MIB
On the other servers I have reply like this:

Code: Select all

snmpwalk -v1 -c zzz yy.yy.yy.yy  .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
I'm not sure if it the same thing but I thought it is good add this observation.

Can you try with a minimalistic snmpd.conf ?

You can check the howto in my signature.
