SNMP version mismatch

[fitzie]

A working install stopped working some time back. The cacti.log file shows:

05/07/2009 11:56:01 AM - SPINE: Poller[0] ERROR: SNMP Library Version Mismatch (5.3.1 vs 5.3.2.2) (Spine parent)
05/07/2009 11:57:01 AM - POLLER: Poller[0] Maximum runtime of 58 seconds exceeded. Exiting.
05/07/2009 11:57:01 AM - SYSTEM STATS: Time:59.2468 Method:spine Processes:1 Threads:10 Hosts:13 HostsPerProcess:13 DataSources:15 RRDsProcessed:0

My guess is that SNMP upgraded itself from 5.3.1 to 5.3.2.2 during some session. No biggie, or so I thought.

I upgraded cacti from 0.8.7b to 0.8.7d, and attempted to update spine to 0.8.7c, and that's when I ran into problems.

The resulting configure file for cacti-spine-0.8.7c doesn;t appear to by syntactically correct, as I get errors such as:

./configure: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token `<<<'
./configure: line 3: `<<<<<<< .mine'

I can't seem to locate a version of SNMP 5.3.1 anymore so it looks like I'm stuck. Any pointers?

Thanks!

I'm getting this error as well, and I recently updated Spine from SVN.

Hehe...

I got impatient (well *my* boss got impatient) and I did the painful NET-SNMP downgrade. This worked, but borked some of SNMP Informant templates (?!).

Oh well, at least I have something to do now...

The issue here is that whoever packaged your net-snmp, did not update the version information in the net-snmp header files. This happens from time to time and more than likely happens when you have some custom packaged application that incorrectly bundles net-snmp libraries into a system location without updating the header files as well.

This has been an issue for some time with 3rd party applications. The check was placed inside of spine to prevent segmentation faults due to structure alignment issues that will be cause by using old header files with new versions of the net-snmp API. So, it's a self protection mechanism.

thx

[Mattza]

Seems like an old post but i had the same problem with the new 0.8.7g version of Cacti. What i did was to change the /etc/ld.so.conf file to point to the correct library. Dont know if this helps anyone or if our setup was wrong from the beginning. But that how I solved my problem instead or downgrade snmp or upgrade cacti.

Cheers!
