In --list mode, snmpvar.monitor does not bother you with error messages. Try without --list, it's probably just an SMTP GET error like when I try it here:
localhost: error retrieving localhost:FAKE_VARIABLE(): Unknown Object Identifier error retrieving localhost:MY_VARIABLE(.1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.9.1.1.3): (noSuchName) There is no such variable name in this MIB. Next, to find out whether your OID is OK, try snmpwalk -OS localhost public .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.9.1.1.3 and see what you get. Wokr your way up the OID hierarchy if it doesn't work. --Peter -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, November 21, 2002 7:38 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; HOLZLEITNER, Peter Subject: snmpvar not working? Hi All, I can't get snmpvar monitor to do anything. I'm trying to test with the "--list" option. Here is my test setup: Test command: ./snmpvar.monitor --config /etc/mon/snmpvar.cf --varconf /etc/mon/snmpvar.def --list localhost It returns nothing. No errors. Nada. And the return status is 0. Test config files: /etc/mon/snmpvar.cf Host localhost MY_VARIABLE Min 1 Max 2 FAKE_VARIABLE /etc/mon/snmpvar.dev Variable MY_VARIABLE OID .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.9.1.1.3 DefaultMin 1 DefaultMax 2 Decode 1 One Decode 2 Two Decode 3 Three Decode 4 Four Decode 5 Five Description Disk stuff I would expect an error that FAKE_VARIABLE is not defined at least. I can also enter the command: ./snmpvar.monitor --config /etc/mon/snmpvar.cf --varconf /etc/mon/snmpvar.def --list bogushost And even though "bogushost" is not defined anywhere the command returns nothing and the return status is 0. Am I doing something wrong here? How do I test that I've got a valid snmpvar configuration? Thanks for your help. --K _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?
