Error in generating config file using generator

[sabarish narayanan]

Hi,

I am trying to generate snmp.yml by using the generator. This is my generator file :-

modules:

  XPPC-MIB:

    walk: 

      - .1.3.6.1.4.1.935.1.1.1.8.3.2.0

    version: 3

    max_repetitions: 25

    retries: 3

    timeout: 10s

    auth:

      username: ********

      security_level: authNoPriv

      password: *********

      auth_protocol: MD5

I am getting the following error :-

level=info ts=2020-09-14T06:12:47.382Z caller=net_snmp.go:142 msg="Loading MIBs" from=$HOME/.snmp/mibs:/usr/share/snmp/mibs
level=info ts=2020-09-14T06:12:47.530Z caller=main.go:52 msg="Generating config for module" module=XPPC-MIB
level=error ts=2020-09-14T06:12:47.538Z caller=main.go:130 msg="Error generating config netsnmp" err="cannot find oid '.1.3.6.1.4.1.935.1.1.1.8.3.2.0' to walk"

If I try snmptranslate, it works :-

snmptranslate -mALL .1.3.6.1.4.1.935.1.1.1.8.3.2.0

XPPC-MIB::upsThreePhaseOutputVoltageR.0

snmpwalk to that oid also gives the value of the oid :-

snmpwalk -l authNoPriv -u ******** -a MD5 -A ********* XX.XX.XX.XX .1.3.6.1.4.1.935.1.1.1.8.3.2.0

SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.935.1.1.1.8.3.2.0 = INTEGER: 2323

So I'm pretty sure that netsnmp is working fine.

The XPPC-MIB.txt file is in /usr/share/snmp/mibs.

I'm working on Centos 8.

What am I doing wrong? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Drop the last 0.

The easier thing to do is use the OID name, rather than the OID number in the generator config. This avoids typos like this.

modules:
  XPPC-MIB:
    walk:
      - upsThreePhaseOutputVoltageR

Thanks a ton. That worked. I had tried dropping the last 0 with the OID number and the OID name with the last 0. Both didn't work, but the OID name without the last 0 worked. Thanks you very much.

Although, isn't that last 0 in the OID name or OID number the world standard? Shouldn't it work with the 0 as well?

Thanks in advance.
