Apparently on some systems they're in "/var/lib/net-snmp/mib_indexes" now.
It's the most frustrating and persistent bug. It's existed as long as I've used net-snmp, and it never goes away!
FreeBSD might be putting these files in another place.
The issue seems, I think, to be that the indexes get out of sync with the MIB directory, having indexes for old versions of the MIBs, which don't work with new versions. Once you delete the index files they're updated, and everything works again.

Ok Observium is forgiven :-P
I checked for .index files as it does talk about it in the FAQ however, I couldn't find any.......
I just re-built net-snmp from @ports too (I'm on FreeBSD with my Observium system). Oh well..... at least all works now :-)

Observium wasn't looking for anything. This is netsnmp being a horribly written pile of crap.
As I said in previous email, you need to delete its cache files, because it is useless.
This has nothing to do with Observium, its netsnmp's caching being broken.
The files you're looking for are .index in the mibs directory and subdirectories. If it's one of the user-despising versions which puts these files somewhere else, I have no idea what they're called. :D

Does anyone have any idea on how to make this interface not be 'ignored'? After 2 days of searching for an answer I can only conclude that perhaps I need to make this change on the actual MySQL DB itself though I do not know the location of the 'ignore' section of ports/interfaces <- that and this is probably a really bad way of doing things too....!
