Timeout while connecting to [IP]

Thanks for your swift response Mr.Ken.

I reconfigured zabbix-1.6.4 now. I have added one host and in Items i configured snmpv2agent. but I found things like Availability - Not Available and Error - Timeout while connecting to [IP] in hosts. I went through the forums but dint find solution yet. Please help me on this.

Thanks in advance,
Vijaya. R

Does that mean you now see this in your zabbix_server.log:

4469:20090515:142536 server #1 started [Poller. SNMP: YES]
4470:20090515:142536 server #2 started [Poller. SNMP: YES]
4471:20090515:142536 server #3 started [Poller. SNMP: YES]
4472:20090515:142536 server #4 started [Poller. SNMP: YES]
4473:20090515:142536 server #5 started [Poller. SNMP: YES]

Next, is snmp enabled on the host to be monitored? If it is a Cisco device you would need something like this:

snmp-server community public RO

Next, is the snmp community name correct? If you are using a different community name you need to change the community name on the Template --> Items screen.

Finally, is there a firewall between Zabbix and your host?

MrKen

As we are getting response through command /snmpwalk -v 2c -c

I dont think there is any firewall inbetween host and Zabbix server.

Now I am confused!! jagannath you start one thread, then vijaya.r85 starts another thread about exactly the same problem. Then jagannath moves across to this thread. What is going on here?

Q1. Are jagannath and vijaya.r85 working together on one problem? Or are there two separate people with two unrelated problems?

Q2. Is zabbix configured with netsnmp? Are you sure? How do you know for sure?

Please note that being able to snmpwalk only means that 'the server' has snmp installed, it does not mean that zabbix is configured with snmp.

**jagannath** · 18-05-2009, 08:16

We both are working on the same issue.

We have compiled

./configure --prefix=/export/home/zabbix/server --enable-server --enable-agent --with-mysql --with-net-snmp=/opt/coolstack/bin/net-snmp-config --with-libcurl=/opt/curl/bin/curl-config

in ps -eaf | snmp

root 621 1 0 May 14 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/snmp/snmpdx -y -c /etc/snmp/conf
root 655 1 0 May 14 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/dmi/snmpXdmid -s nms

Now the eror refletc while restarting the zabbix serve

6193:20090518:113858 SNMP monitoring: YES
6193:20090518:113858 WEB monitoring: NO

6193:20090518:113858 ODBC: NO

pls suggest if we are wrong.

Thanks,

**MrKen** · 18-05-2009, 09:05

OK that looks to be good.

Have you corrected the Timeout problem that you mentioned in the other thread?

Is the item configured with the correct snmp community name?

Can you give me the following information from the Item config:
SNMP OID
SNMP port
Key
Type of information
Units

Also, can you post any error messages that you are now receiving.

**vijaya.r85** · 18-05-2009, 09:11

Web monitoring No and timeout while connecting

Mrken, Thanks a lot for the detailed info. I have checked all those you have mentioned and there is no problem in those. I am getting the web monitoring No in my server log and also for host with snmp, timeout while connecting.

In forums it has mentioned that web monitoring = No, mite be due to curl installation problem. But I have installed curl and curl -v also works.

I don't know where it is getting struck... please help me on this.

Awaiting for your response

Thanks,
Vijaya

**MrKen** · 18-05-2009, 10:05

Please note that I am not an employee of Zabbix, nor do I provide a free Zabbix Helpdesk.

You guys would be more helpful if you answered the questions asked, provided the information requested and stopped changing the topic from 'Support of snmp parameters not compiled in', to 'Timeout while connecting', to 'Web monitoring', to ....

I really don't know what the topic is anymore. Have any of your problems been resolved? I don't know because you don't answer the questions.

That said - On this link http://jacksonjstrong.blogspot.com/2...aris_2022.html

he says: The 1.1 version of Coolstack didn't have the new enough version of curl for zabbix.
# cd /var/tmp
# gunzip curl-7.16.2.tar.gz
# tar xf curl-7.16.2
# cd curl-7.16.2
# ./configure --prefix=/opt/curl --without-ssl
# make
# make install

But I don't know because I don't use Solaris, and also you say "curl -v" works but you don't post the output!

In my initial install I had to install curl and curl-devel, so maybe you need to manually install that as well.

Good luck

**jagannath** · 18-05-2009, 10:18

Thanks for your response

Pls find the item config option

Type -- SNMPv2
SNMP Community --public123
SNMP OID--- 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.57.0
SNMP Port--- 161
Key ---system.cpu.switches
Type of information--- Numeric(unsigned)
Units -- %

**MrKen** · 18-05-2009, 10:43

Your item configuration is wrong!

You should be able to snmpwalk the OID and the key and get the same result.

[root@zabbix ]# snmpwalk -v2c -c public xxx.xxx.xx.xx 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.57.0
OLD-CISCO-SYSTEM-MIB::lsystem.57.0 = INTEGER: 16

[root@zabbix ]# snmpwalk -v2c -c public xxx.xxx.xx.xx system.cpu.switches
2009-05-18 15:30:44 system.cpu.switches: Unknown Object Identifier (Sub-id not found: system -> cpu)

Now if we change the key to 'lsystem.57.0' look what we get:

[root@zabbix ]# snmpwalk -v2c -c public xxx.xxx.xx.xx lsystem.57.0
OLD-CISCO-SYSTEM-MIB::lsystem.57.0 = INTEGER: 16

Another example:

snmpwalk this OID - .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0

now snmpwalk this - sysUpTimeInstance

Hopefully that will solve one of your problems.

MrKen

**jagannath** · 18-05-2009, 11:05

Thanks for your continious support on this issue.

DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (1041267008) 120 days, 12:24:30.08

Do i need to make any change on the above syntax

Regards,
Jagannath

**MrKen** · 18-05-2009, 11:18

Have another look at what I did, then have a look at what you did.

You don't have the OLD-CISCO-SYSTEM-MIB installed, so you get a different result.

From You
root@zabbix # snmpwalk -v 2c -c public123 10.0.0.1 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.57.0
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.9.2.1.57.0 = INTEGER: 8

The 'key' here is 'enterprises.9.2.1.57.0'

Try this: snmpwalk -v 2c -c public123 10.0.0.1 enterprises.9.2.1.57.0

See how easy it is.

**jagannath** · 20-05-2009, 10:38

I would like to thank ful to you for your contnious support.

Secondly i apologize for delaying my reply to you.

infact we have deleted the DB and recreated again due to certain issue.

now our server is up and running fne but i am not able to moinitor the snmp

part.

I am getting response from console thru ths command
root@zabbix # snmpwalk -v 2c -c public123 10.0.0.1 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.57.0
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.9.2.1.57.0 = INTEGER: 8

The 'key' here is 'enterprises.9.2.1.57.0'

Try this: snmpwalk -v 2c -c public123 10.0.0.1 enterprises.9.2.1.57.0

But while configring thru web interface its not working.

The error still intact.

Switch_cpu - 10.0.0.1 161 - Monitored Not available Timeout while connecting to [10.0.0.1:161]
