I'm messing with the RDBMS-MIB (rfc 1697), and from all I can see, it
looks like the RFC uses invalid syntax. This being a real RFC and all,
that seems unlikely, so the more plausible explanation is I'm missing
something important. Anyway, specifically, the RDBMS-MIB imports
applIndex and applGroup from APPLICATION-MIB (rfc 1565), but
apparently applIndex and applGroup aren't defined properly for being
imported, if that means anything. The definition of applIndex, for
instance, is as follows:
applIndex OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX INTEGER (1..2147483647)
MAX-ACCESS not-accessible
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"An index to uniquely identify the network service
application."
::= {applEntry 1}
The RDBMS-MIB tries to use it as follows:
IMPORTS
MODULE-IDENTITY, OBJECT-TYPE, NOTIFICATION-TYPE,
Counter32, Gauge32, Integer32
FROM SNMPv2-SMI
DisplayString, DateAndTime, AutonomousType
FROM SNMPv2-TC
applIndex, applGroup
FROM APPLICATION-MIB
mib-2
FROM RFC 1213-MIB;
<snip>
rdbmsSrvEntry OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX RdbmsSrvEntry
MAX-ACCESS not-accessible
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"An entry for a single database server. A server is an
independent entity that provides access to one or more
databases. Failure of one does not affect access to
databases through any other servers. There might be one or
more servers providing access to a database. A server may be
a 'process' or collection of 'processes', as interpreted by
the product."
INDEX { applIndex }
::= { rdbmsSrvTable 1 }
I haven't been able to get much of an error message out of any apps to
really tell me what's wrong, and (just my luck) now I can't get any
error messages from anything to even support my conclusion that the
problem is because of this import (there is a reason, I promise... I
just don't remember what exactly it was and how to make it happen
again). But mbrowse won't open the RDBMS-MIB, snmptranslate can't take
it, etc. Can anyone shed any light on this?
