SNMP walk monitoring wizard

Post by davemulv1 »

Upgraded to 2026R1.5 and I"m trying out the SNMP walk monitoring wizard. Trying to setup a new walk job. It is a V3 run with authpriv and I've entered the same creds/settings that work from the Linux command line of the Nagios server. Keep getting error "Unable To Connect with SNMP, check credentials and try again.". Is there a log of the job somewhere that I might glean more details of the command used and errors from?

Thanks,

Dave

Hi Dave,

On the SNMP Walk Jobs page, look for the Controls column. The page icon (3rd from the left) will show you the full contents of the walk job, including the command used to create it. Try copying the command out of the output and running it on the command line to see what response you get. My hunch is that there's some kind of character parsing issue causing the command to come out malformed.

Ok, yesterday.... that error "Unable To Connect with SNMP, check credentials and try again." was coming up in red in the GUI next to the cancel/submit buttons when I clicked submit so no job was submitted to review. Today everything is working just fine so go figure.

Thanks,

Dave
