VMware ESX Network via SNMP v2

So doing a walk, it looks like it has an ifHCInOctet but not ifHCOutOctet....

Code: Select all

# snmpwalk -v 2c -c esx 10.242.13.1 | grep ifHCInOctets
IF-MIB::ifHCInOctets.1 = Counter64: 0
IF-MIB::ifHCInOctets.2 = Counter64: 0
IF-MIB::ifHCInOctets.3 = Counter64: 0
IF-MIB::ifHCInOctets.4 = Counter64: 0
IF-MIB::ifHCInOctets.5 = Counter64: 2798128280
IF-MIB::ifHCInOctets.6 = Counter64: 1464163212
IF-MIB::ifHCInOctets.7 = Counter64: 4046122006
IF-MIB::ifHCInOctets.8 = Counter64: 3197500063
IF-MIB::ifHCInOctets.9 = Counter64: 2549282990
IF-MIB::ifHCInOctets.10 = Counter64: 2549282990
IF-MIB::ifHCInOctets.11 = Counter64: 2549282990
IF-MIB::ifHCInOctets.12 = Counter64: 2549282990
IF-MIB::ifHCInOctets.13 = Counter64: 0
IF-MIB::ifHCInOctets.14 = Counter64: 0
IF-MIB::ifHCInOctets.15 = Counter64: 0
IF-MIB::ifHCInOctets.16 = Counter64: 0
IF-MIB::ifHCInOctets.17 = Counter64: 0
IF-MIB::ifHCInOctets.18 = Counter64: 0
# snmpwalk -v 2c -c esx 10.242.13.1 | grep ifHCOutOctets
#

I'm not sure - but I think that might just be a 32 bit rollover counter - maybe not though. I'd have to dig. Either way mine definitely behaves differently.

Code: Select all

[jdalrymple@localhost libexec]$ snmpwalk -v 2c -c <community> <ESXi IP> | grep if[IOH] | grep Octets

Not really too sure what to think of it, but if v1 is an acceptable workaround I'd be happy to just say this problem is specific to your environment and move on with life until the next guy reports it?

I would check if the ESXi server is configured correctly:
