%mibnameshort% shows 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0 instead of sysUpTime

[HakanH]

Hi,

I have SNMP tests that check uptime and I use %mibnameshort% in the NamePattern.
In 9.x (I’m not sure when it changed) %mibnameshort% showed “sysUpTime� .
In 10.20 and 10.30 %mibnameshort% shows “1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0� which is the same as %object%.

Is this a bug?

I think you are using invalid variable name.
Should be %MibNameShort%

I mixed up the variable here in the forum first but I have used %mibnameshort% in my tests all the time.

If I export an old test that is OK it looks like this:

Code: Select all

Method      = SNMP
;--- Common properties ---
;DestFolder = Root\Switches\
RMAgent     = Folder-specific-agent
Title       = MMASW10 (10.19.254.32) SNMP sysUpTime
Comment     = SNMP Get sysUpTime from 10.19.254.32
RelatedURL  = 
NamePattern = MMASW10 (%Host%) SNMP %mibnameshort%

If I edit the the title without doing any actual change the title gets updated and the export looks like this:

Code: Select all

Method      = SNMP
;--- Common properties ---
;DestFolder = Root\Switches\
RMAgent     = Folder-specific-agent
Title       = MMASW10 (10.19.254.32) SNMP 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0
Comment     = SNMP Get 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0 from 10.19.254.33
RelatedURL  = 
NamePattern = MMASW10 (%Host%) SNMP %mibnameshort%

I want my test name to end with "sysUpTime" as before but it doesn't do that.

May be somebody removed mibdata.lst and mibtree.lst files?
Can you start MIB Browser? Do you see .iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.system.sysUpTime counter?

Windows?
Service Pack?
Are you using HostMonitor GUI or Remote Control Console (RCC) started on remote system? RCC started on local (HostMonitor) system?

That solved my problem.

The MIB Browser didn't show .iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.system.sysUpTime .

Mibdata.lst and mibtree.lst was only some KB in size. When I restored to older and larger versions of mibdata.lst and mibtree.lst it works again.

I use RCC, sometimes from Hostmonitor programs folder but most of the times from another location. Now I have learned that I need Mibdata.lst and mibtree.lst at this other location also.

Thanks
