Result SNMP not valid when using 127.0.0.1

[Wobblier]

Hi,

I'm trying to graph some IPMI sensors, which sadly do not play nice with SNMP (which I like to use).

So I've tried a workaround where the snmpd reads some lines in some generic oid which I'm able to snmp walk:

Code: Select all

snmpwalk -c unlikely -v 2c 127.0.0.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.1000.3.1.1.8.105.112.109.105.116.101.109.112

UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.1000.3.1.1.8.105.112.109.105.116.101.109.112 = STRING: "33.000000"

The cacti log however disagrees:

04/26/2011 12:00:03 PM - CMDPHP: Poller[0] Host[6] DS[209] SNMP: v1: 127.0.0.1, dsname: ipmi_proc_temp, oid: .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.1000.3.1.1.8.105.112.109.105.116.101.109.112, output: 0.000000

This does not seem to happen when polling my other (non localhost) machines.

I'm not very adept at SNMP / Cacti and I've pretty much hit a wall here. No clue where to look next. I did the debug things in the cacti documentation though, which all seem to work as advertised. Anyone seen this before?

Does nobody have a clue what might be happening here?

I suppose I can workaround trying to poll the eth interface which has a public accessible ip adress. But I rather bind the snmpd to the 127.0.0.1 internal adress in this network setup.
