SNMP monitoring on Windows 2012R2 and above
list Colin Coe
Hi all We're using DEVMON with Xymon to monitor a bunch of hosts, mostly Linux with some Windows. Windows 2008R2 works fine but I've found that the 2012R2 (don't have any 2012) hosts don't work. For example, for the RAID test I get: Missing repeater data for primary OID logDrvIndex Missing repeater data for primary OID phyDrvIndex When running snmpwalk manually, I get snmpwalk -v2c -c hpscada srv2012 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.3.2.3.1.1.2 CPQHOST-MIB::compaq.3.2.3.1.1.2 = No more variables left in this MIB View (It is past the end of the MIB tree) When doing the same on a 2008R2 server I get: snmpwalk -v2c -c hpscada srv2008 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.3.2.3.1.1.2 CPQHOST-MIB::compaq.3.2.3.1.1.2.0.1 = INTEGER: 1 Any ideas on this? Thanks CC

Colin, just for giggles, I used your "walk" OIDs on my Win2008R2 VM, slowly reducing the OID until I got a return. snmpwalk -v 2c -c <RO String> <IP address> 1.3.6.1.4.1 Is where I finally got a reading. Ending like this: .1.3.6.1.4.1.9600.1.1.6.1.0 = No more variables left in this MIB View (It is past the end of the MIB tree) Yours in getting into Compaq specific MIBs before it runs off the end of the MIB. Try the walk this way and see if it goes further: snmpwalk -v2c -c hpscada srv2008 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.3.2.3.1.1.2 -On What it all means is walk is trying to increment the OID, guided by what it knows in the installed MIBs and stops getting returns. the addition tells 'walk to not translate the something approximating human language. On my Dell systems, there is a sub-agent that has to be enabled to get readings from the RAID subsystem and MIBs for that have to be installed, unless I want to pol using raw OIDs Regards, Bruce

Compaq? From your hostname, it is an HP server? I haven't used DEVMON, I just write my own scripts as we only rarely use SNMP, ...but... you probably need to substitute that OID for something more relevant. In my experience, just walking an SNMP tree doesn't go far w/o the 'proprietary' MIBs. See if you can find something relevant from the manufacturer and either install it on the DEVMON server (or read the thing) and work out using walks as to where the OIDs of interest are. This is one reason why I don't use DEVMON... 😉 Hope that helps. Cheers, Phil

As HP bought out Compaq, they inherited and recycled the Compaq OIDs. These are the correct OIDs you're looking for.

Thanks, Jeremy, didn't realise they were still using it... You'd think they'd rename it or something after, what, 10-15 years?

Many thanks all. I'm embarrassed to admit that the HPE Insight Management Agents were not actually installed. These used to be installed automatically from the Service Pack for Proliant however in recent versions, it became optional and did not get automatically installed.
