sysDescr item keep failing

[kanour]

Hi.

I have got SNMPv2 item with sysDescr.0 OID.

zabbix log

15332:20101201:192630.781 Item [store01.apac.lab:sysDescr] error: OID [1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1] value has unknown type [0x81]
 15333:20101201:192631.386 Item [store02.apac.lab:sysDescr] error: OID [1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1] value has unknown type [0x81]

snmpwalk works fine from zabbix server

zabbix:~#  snmpwalk -v 2c -c apaclab 172.16.41.2 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1
iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0 = STRING: "Linux store01.apac.lab 2.6.26.8-1.0.11.smp.pae.gcc3.4.x86.i686 #1 SMP Sun Jan 11 00:57:28 GMT 2009 i686"

Any idea what is wrong?

Zabbix is not appending .0 to the requested OID.

sysDescr.0

I can't tell you the solution, but that is why the snmp request is failiong.

I have tried event the OID number 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1 but that does not work either.

Hi,

I have tried event the OID number 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1 but that does not work either.

As fmrapid told you, you need to append .0 to your OID.
snmpwalk is showing you the actual OID to use:
iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0

So you can use either:
1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0
or
sysDescr.0

Make sure to enter it in "SNMP OID" field.
