SNMP error

aicorda · Post by **aicorda** » Tue May 17, 2011 8:50 am

I try to get the server status from an ibm x3550. So i downloaded the MIB from the IBM site and loaded him in the MIB browser.

I create a SNMP GET test with the corresponding OID to read the status.

But the result I get is: "SNMP error: No such name"

What exactly OID do you use?
Make sure you have specified correct OID.
Probably you forgot to add trailing .0 or counter index.

OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.3.51.3.1.4.1
Description:
Indicates status of system health for the system in which the IMM resides. Value of 'nonRecoverable' indicates a severe error has occurred and the system may not be functioning. A value of 'critical' indicates that a error has occurred but the system is currently functioning properly. A value of 'nonCritical' indicates that a condition has occurred that may change the state of the system in the future but currently the system is working properly. A value of 'normal' indicates that the system is operating normally.

When I add a .0 at the end of the OID (1.3.6.1.4.1.2.3.51.3.1.4.1.0) the answer I get is "255". But the description says i would have a 'critical', 'normal', ... etc as result.

How do I add a counter index?

FYI: the imm firware version I try to retrieve works very well. So it has to be on the OID I think.

You already added this index.
"0" is index for single instance counters.

When I add a .0 at the end of the OID (1.3.6.1.4.1.2.3.51.3.1.4.1.0) the answer I get is "255". But the description says i would have a 'critical', 'normal', ... etc as result.

Well, this question should be addressed to developers that made this device, SNMP agent and MIB file.
May we see this part of MIB file?

What do you mean by that? To send you the whole MIB file? or printscreen?
(To what email can I send you that?)

You may send whole MIB file to support@ks-soft.net

This is single instance counter so you should add .0 to the end: 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.3.51.3.1.4.1.0 = iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.ibm.ibmAgents.netfinitySupportProcessorAgent.ibmIntegratedManagementModuleMIB.monitors.systemHealth.systemHealthStat

Accordign to MIB file, this counter can return one of the following integer values: 0, 2, 4, 255
0 - nonRecoverable
2 - critical
4 - nonCritical
255 - normal
