Hi All, I have a kind of baffling situation here.
We have been successfuly sending traps to a Nagios client for a couple of months. The trap command has the form. snmptrap -M /usr/local/share/snmp/mibs -v 3 -n \"\" [authorization stuff] [ip number] 0 1.3.6.1.4.1.36070.0.1 0 s string0 1 s string1 2 s string2 Nagios/nsti have been processing them just fine. We added another argument, as in: snmptrap -M /usr/local/share/snmp/mibs -v 3 -n \"\" [authorization stuff] [ip number] 0 1.3.6.1.4.1.36070.0.1 0 s string0 1 s string1 2 s string2 3 s string3 and we start seeing the messages I mentioned in the subject: snmp_build: unknown failuresnmptrap: Error building ASN.1 representation (Can't build OID for variable) Further, it seems that if we use an index >= 3, the message appears no matter how many arguments we send, i.e., this wont work either: snmptrap [snip snip] 0 s string0 3 s string3 We have updated the MIB in Nagios to reflect the change, but either it is irrelevant to do so or the changes aren't being noticed. snmptranslate on the Nagios client box shows that the MIB changes to the notificationGroup, etc. have worked and the updated MIB is good. We have tried both sending and receiving the traps on multiple machines. Thought this would be a ten minute task -- adding a couple of arguments to a command. One day down (for two developers) so far!! Googling the messages returns a suspicious scarcity of finds. We are running 5.6.2pre1. Any ideas? Please keep in mind that the version with three arguments at the top of this posting ran just fine for a long time, but adding that triplet of arguments to the end OR using an index >= 3 breaks it. We have adjusted the MIB and even restarted the Nagios box. Thank you very much!
