No valid data returned (No Such Instance currently exists at

[preethu.d]

Hi Team,

I have added one OID into monitoring for a storage device but I am getting error as below.

No valid data returned (No Such Instance currently exists at this OID)

I checked the OID and its corresponding MIB file and I don't see that MIB file available in Nagios under manage MIB.

Do I need to upload MIB file corresponding to the OID in Nagios for that OID to work ?

Also if I have to upload should I process the MIB file ?

Hi,

Did you use the numeric value or the text value for the OID?

If you use the numeric value than a MIB file is not required. If you
use the numeric value and get that error than either the OID you are looking
for is not available on that device or there may be an issue with the
security, like a bad community name.

On the nagios server run:

Code: Select all

snmpwalk -v 2c -c public <ip address of machine to be monitored>

Look at the output and see if it contains the OID you are trying to monitor.

Please let me know what you find out.

Thanks

Hi,

The device has SNMPv3 configured and it is responding to SNMP.

If you are using the OID number no MIB should be needed:

Code: Select all

snmpwalk -v3 -u snmpv3user -A 'authPass' -a SHA -X 'privPass' -x AES -l authPriv X.X.X.X .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2

If you are using the OID name, a MIB is required to translate it:

Code: Select all

snmpwalk -v3 -u snmpv3user -A 'authPass' -a SHA -X 'privPass' -x AES -l authPriv X.X.X.X ifDesc

It looks like the remote device isn't serving that OID that you are looking for, otherwise it would have given a different error. What OID are you trying to pull? What type of device is it?

Hi,

I am using OID number. OID is 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.117.1.1.2.1.2 and it is a Cisco san switch.

Run this command with your credentials and change X.X.X.X to the IP of the Cisco device:

Code: Select all

snmpwalk -v3 -u snmpv3user -A 'authPass' -a SHA -X 'privPass' -x AES -l authPriv X.X.X.X 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.117.1.1.2.1.2

If you get No Such Instance error that means the remote device is not serving that OID.

Hi,

I executed the command and I am getting error as "No Such Instance currently exists at this OID", looks like the device is not serving the OID.
Thanks for your help, you can close the thread.

Yep, that would be the case. Thanks for the update. Locking this up and marking as resolved per your request.

Thank you!
