I've worked around this by temporarily symlinking /root/.snmp/mibs into my Observium directory, but this seems like a bit of a hack. Any suggestions?
That would be because the retarded beards at debian decided they wouldn't include mibs due to some recent change by the ietf or something along those lines... They're included in another package I believe now as 'snmp-mibs-downloader'
Hi Joe,
Thanks for that. That certainly does the trick.
This got me thinking: should i be using the system-provided MIBs for this, or those provided by Observium? If they're not required for operation, why does Observium supply them? And if they are required, why doesn't poller.php include /opt/observium/mibs in the MIB search path? It looks like the Observium-supplied ones are used in the snmpwalk, but not in something else called by the poller.
