SNMP not working

[freax]

Hi to all !

I have installed zabbix in my freebsd to scan various machines using snmp.

I can snmpget the host but it's not working in zabbix. It says Unreachable in Hosts. Don't know why !?!

Any help ?
Thanks in advance

You might try watching the zabbix_suckerd.log file with tail to see what error if any it produces. Might be that the hostname is unresolvable, so you could try updating the /etc/hosts file or using the ip address in zabbix.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I tryed today and the problem is only with snmp v2. With v1 works very well.
I don't understand because with works with snmpget -v c2 :-/

For me the problem is "solved" but I don't understand ...

Thanks again.

Check the community name and if the snmp service is running in the machine you are trying to get.

Also use always SNMP v1. Lookout if your packets are being blocked by a firewall.

This did the trick for me. Else look the logs.

hello ,
i still have a problem with snmp.
i follow what's written on the manual V1.0 but it doesn't work.
when i use the terminal (snmpwalk et snmpget) i get a correct result.
this is exactly what i put :
-first
snmpget -v 1 -On -c public 193.95.92.27 ifInOctets.1
.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.1 = Counter32: 1321012

-then
type: snmpv1 agent
snmp community: public
snmp oid: .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.1
port :161
key :ifInOctets.1

in latest data i don't found any value stored in the database.

thank you for your help

help on snmp problem

I am also experiencing the same problem monitoring my snmp devices. suckerd log says - Getting value of [] from host failed.... The value is not stored in database.

I've tried using snmp v.1 and v.2... but if I use snmpget command I can extract a value from it. I use zabbix 1.0... help!

I've read through this forum and despite this error popping up all over the place, no one has a definative answer.

I have net snmp version 5.0.8.

I can snmpget the value directly from the command line:

snmpget -v 1 -c 'notpublic' 192.168.101.104 .1.3.6.1.4.1.9990.1.101.1
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.9990.1.101.1 = STRING: "449677"

the console fills with the "snmpget: too long" error

the debug log shows the following:

I don't like the look of the :161 in the host address twice?

What have I done wrong?

I think you may just have hit the nail on the head here

[silicontrip]

I had a look in the zabbix_suckerd.c code and found a define "NEW_APPROACH" which added the extra :<port> to the IP address. I un defined NEW_APPROACH and rebuilt the source. I no longer get the :161:161 issue but another issue now...

Maybe I should just get a newer version of zabbix?
