All items turn red with an X

[mystycs]

After a while of monitoring SNMP all my items in my template turn RED with an X and say the following message.

SNMP error: (noSuchName) There is no such variable name in this MIB.

Whats strange is that they work for a few minutes all the data comes in, then randomly it just turns them all off.

Im trying to figure it out i looked at some packets, seems fine, and here below is the server log.

What could be the issue here?

SNMP bulk requests are probably the reason - that is when several SNMP values are gathered in one connection. Unfortunately not all devices correctly support this.

Support for bulk requests was introduced in zabbix 2.2.3. In 2.2.7 configuration parameter was added zabbix server to turn this off and in 2.4 is't configurable on per-host basis.

[mystycs]

So would my best bet to be to setup the device to send requests back individually?

Im using Zabbix 2.2.8

[mystycs]

How do i go about disabling bulk requests?

[filipp.sudanov]

What's your zabbix server version?

[mystycs]

Im using Zabbix 2.2.8


I put EnableSNMPBulkRequests=0 in my zabbix server conf.

Was that the right thing to do?

THanks

[filipp.sudanov]

Yep, exactly the right thing to disable the bulk requests.

[mystycs]

Awesome thanks!
