Hi all,
I'm new to Observium, still finding my feet (but loving it!). I recently upgraded my Observium server VM from Debian lenny (5.0) to squeeze (6.0), and it broke Observium. When i looked into it, i found that poller was generating the following output:
... my.procurve.switch.domain.name 69 procurve MIB search path: /root/.snmp/mibs:/usr/share/mibs/site:/usr/share/snmp/mibs:/usr/share/mibs/iana:/usr/share/mibs/ietf:/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp Cannot find module (SNMPv2-MIB): At line 0 in (none) sysObjectID.0: Unknown Object Identifier (Sub-id not found: (top) -> sysObjectID) SNMP UnreachablePolled in 0.080 seconds NOT UPDATED! ...
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?
Thanks, Paul

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.
Regards, Paul

Hiya,
Not entirely sure - it might be an idea if only the Observium-supplied MIBs are used since they're no longer included in debian (and presumably derivatives) - i'm sure adam will have something to say on the matter.

Exactly this was posted up on the website a few days ago, documented with 2 separate fixes.
Observium ships all MIBs it needs, so you can just point it to that - we ship more MIBs than the distributions anyway (e.g. Cisco, Juniper, HP, ...) which is why we have a MIBs dir. For specific MIBs, we point the snmp tools there, but we don't for default ones, which Debian removed in Squeeze.
Don't forget to thank them through the bugtracker.

Lol @ masked hostname.
Why do people bother doing that?
