Better to just fetch sysObjectID.0 or sysDescr.0 instead of a walk to start with.

snmpget -v2c -c <community> 172.30.2.21 sysDescr.0

Using v3 auth on commandline is messy, I'd recommend making it work with v2c if you don't understand the complexities.

Hi Joyce,

Try debugging on the command line from the Observium host:
snmpwalk -v2c -c <your_snmpv2_community> 172.30.2.21

This should pull a lot of text.
If this command does not succeed, make sure you can reach your target on port 161/udp (check your firewalls).

If snmpwalk returns content, try adding the node through the command line:
/opt/observium/add_device.php 172.30.2.21  <your_snmpv2_community>

That will likely tell you what's wrong.

HTH,

Ahmed.

Hallo,

 

I am having a problem adding a few of my devices to the Observium Server. I use the same parameters for the other devices but with the few that couldn't be added, I am getting the following message.

 



 

I have tried to change SNMP authentication using different protocol versions but I still get an error message.

 



 



 

Obsevium version is Observium CE 20.9.10731.

 

I will appreciate your help.

 

Regards,

Joyce
