> Hi All,
>
> Sometimes SNMPD is not responding to snmp requests even though it is
> up and running, SNMPD is queuing all the requests without processing
> as netsnmp_processing_set and agent_delegated_list are not getting
> unset. However SNMPD is able to send traps originated by subagent.
>
> We are using Net-snmp-5.2.2 as master and subagent. We have
> 1) Applications which does set and walk operations on our enterprise
> mib
> 2) Monitoring application which does get operation on OID
> 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0 (sysUpTime) every 10secs
> 3) Applications which sends number of traps due to changes in the
> system
>
> Our analysis:
> When the problem occurred we are doing walks on our enterprise MIB
> followed by set operation, when getnext operation is done
> agent_delegated_list is set and it did not get unset. After this when
> set operation is done in netsnmp_handle_request Snmpd checks if
> agent_delegated_list is set, as it is not unset set request is getting
> queued and as set operation is not processed netsnmp_processing_set
> is not getting unset. For all the further queries SNMPD first checks
> whether netsnmp_processing_set is set , as this not is unset all the
> requests are getting queued up without getting processed
>
> So the root cause seems to be agent_delegated_list field not getting
> unset, even I did not see any pending timers in the alarm list
>
> This problem is coming very frequently. Can you please help us if this
> kind of problem is seen earlier and any help on this will be
