NagiosXI + Error Adding MIB File

[tusharpatel]

When attempting to add the attached MIB file (using the addmib command) I'm receiving the error below:

Expected "(" (/): At line 116 in ./WFS_160_SNMP_MIB.mib
Should be ACCESS (info): At line 116 in ./WFS_160_SNMP_MIB.mib
Bad parse of OBJECT-TYPE: At line 116 in ./WFS_160_SNMP_MIB.mib
Unknown object identifier: HARMONIC-WFS-MIB::wfsAlarmTrap

The vendo who provides the MIB is stating there is no error, I'd like some assistance to determine what correction needs to be made for this to work.

It looks like you have not attached a MIB.

MIB file attached (file extension renamed to .txt)

There indeed is an issue with the mib. The section in question is:

Code: Select all

wfsAlarmSeverity OBJECT-TYPE
        SYNTAX	INTEGER {
        clear/info(0),
        indeterminate(1),
        warning(2),
        minor(3),
        major(4),
        critical(5)        
        }
        MAX-ACCESS  read-only
        STATUS	current
        DESCRIPTION
            "The level of severity of the alarm."
        ::= { wfsAlarmLogEntry 5}

Specifically, line 116:

Code: Select all

clear/info(0),

I wonder if changing line 116 to:

Code: Select all

info(0),

would solve the issue?

I've removed the offended line as recommended, but am now seeing the below error:

Bad ACCESS type (write): At line 196 in ./WFS_160_SNMP_MIB.mib
Bad parse of OBJECT-TYPE: At line 196 in ./WFS_160_SNMP_MIB.mib
Unknown object identifier: HARMONIC-WFS-MIB::wfsAlarmTrap


I will go back to the vendor, but can you advise further what changes can be made.

[tusharpatel]

I'm able to load the MIB file into a SNMP browser without any errors - so unsure why Nagios is generating the errors.

[sreinhardt]

The current issue is that at line 196, the access values of write, is not valid. The only valid access values are "read-only", "read-write", "write-only", and "not-accessible". So I don't know if this should be read-write or write-only, my guess would be the latter. Once that is done, your mib should be able to be imported correctly.

Thanks so much! - that's done the trick.
