Problem in Adding MIB file

[bashar.abed]

Hello Dear,

I am trying to add MIB file from Nagios xi command line using addmib command and i get no error but MIB file is not added to /usr/share/snmp/mibs and nothing defined in snmptt.conf file.

Please check why mib files is not added correctly.

Regards,

Are you running the command as root? Can you provide a copy of the MIB? What are the permissions set to on the /usr/share/snmp/mibs directory?

Hello Dear,

I were using command under root user, you can find attached samples of MIBs I were trying to add.
below are the permissions set on /usr/share/snmp/mibs directory. Also you can check below the exact procedure used to add these MIBs.

Permissions:
drwxrwsr-x. 3 root nagios 20480 Jan 16 13:13 mibs

Procedure Used:
upload MIB to /tmp
change MIB file permissions to 777 using chmod
use addmib command as below
[root@nms tmp]# addmib acision-smi.mib

waiting your feedback...

Couple of things, the addmib script does not copy the MIB file to the /usr/share/snmp/mibs folder.
You have to copy it there manually.

Another thing, Most MIB files include other MIB file in then so when you try to run the addmib program against a MIB file that does not have the IMPORTS MIB file, it will not add the entry to the snmptt.conf file.

The ACISION-SMI MIB requires this MIB file SNMPv2-SMI to be installed in the /usr/share/snmp/mibs folder.
The ACISION-MCO-AFG-MIB MIB requires these files

Code: Select all

ACISION-SMI
SNMPv2-SMI
ACISION-MCO-CONFIGURATION-MIB
SNMPv2-TC

Also, if an entry like the example below is in the snmptt.conf file, it has to be removed so the addmib program will import the file again.

Code: Select all

Hi Dear,

i checked SNMPv2-SMI and its already exist in directory /usr/share/snmp/mib.
i copied MIB file acision-smi to directory /usr/share/snmp/mib manually,changed permission to 777 and applied addmib command to the file with no errors. i checked snmptt file and the it seems MIB file is not added successfully, please check the snmptt file entry for acision-smi MIB file...

I checked the ACISION-SMI MIB file and it does not have any Trap or Notification objects defined in it so it will not add any entries to the snmptt.conf file.
The ACISION-MCO-AFG-MIB MIB file has some entries in it so run the addmib application against that file to add the snmptt configuration file.
