Folks,
there are two issues with the EVAL classified snmpdx package
you should be aware of.
**** INFINITE LOOP ****
A compatiblity problem between snmpdx and perl. Problematic version
combinations cause a infinite loop in snmpdx that consumes large amounts
of CPU horsepower and fills the logging filesystem at a very fast rate
as far as it will go.
snmpdx perl
<= 0.2.8 <= 5.8.3 ok
<= 0.2.8 >= 5.8.4 problem
>= 0.2.9 5.8.x ok
Please either
- keep your old perl-5.8.3 or earlier version or
- upgrade to snmdx-0.2.9 or later or
- apply OSSP patch [1] for locally modified packages
**** BIND PROBE ****
Also note that today snmpdx-0.2.10 was released which adds a swBind
probe for monitoring named(8). In order to get this new probe to work
the "statistics-file" in named.conf(5) must be configured as shown
in the CURRENT named package [2]. This is not the default case for
any existing RELEASE. There are no plans for issuing an UPD bind
package because a modified named.conf file will inadvertently create
a named.conf.rpmsave and cause problems for people running automated
update environments.
