I'm using Zenoss 2.1.1 to monitor (among other things) a Netopia Cayman router. However, Zen really isn't collecting much information from it.
After some poking around with a sniffer, I found that zenperfsnmp is sending a single SNMP get request with 29 varbinds in it, and that seems to be too much for the agent in the Cayman to handle. In other words, zenperfsnmp sends one SNMP packet with 29 get requests (for a bunch of MIB-II variables, like SysUpTime, ifInOctets for 4 different interfaces, ifOutOctets for 4 different interfaces, etc). The log for zenperfsnmp shows timeout errors for packets sent to the Cayman. The packets goes out fine, but the SNMP agent in the Cayman sees a packet with 29 varbinds in it and refuses to respond. The Cayman will respond to command line get requests and to the mibwalk utility. I've got the ethernetCsmacd template bound to the device at the device level, but that's it. There's no easy way to post the packets in question from the sniffer trace here, but if someone wants to see it, I'll pass it along. What I'd like to know is if this is normal for zenperfsnmp? Is there any way to get it to split the request up into multiple packets? Or, am I not doing this right? Thanks. -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://community.zenoss.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=17715#17715 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
