Hallo,

Thanks for your answer. I am very new to Observium and would like to know how to get to the command line of the Observium host.

Regards, Joyce

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.

[cid:image001.png@01D778CD.53F2F860]

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

[cid:image002.png@01D778CE.B3F939D0]

[cid:image003.png@01D778CE.D3F95D50]

Obsevium version is Observium CE 20.9.10731.

I will appreciate your help.

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.

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. adam. On Jul 14 2021, at 5:05 pm, Ahmed Rahal via observium observium@observium.org wrote:
