Hi. I've added Mibs for a device on our network. There were two Mib files. I followed the standard zenmib run filesname1 filename2 process. Both of the new Mibs show up in the Zenoss GUI, but one of them has no OID Mappings at all.

I've taken a look at both Mib files, and I can see all the OID mappings there, but I'm an SNMP newbie, so I could be missing something.

Tech support at the device vendor assures me that these Mibs work for a lot of their customers, and in their lab as well. Of course, their first advice was to use a different system to get the traps - i.e. remove Zenoss from the picture. I personally think it's sort of unreasonable of them to expect me to build a Windows server and set it up to get these traps, just to prove them wrong.

This can happen if unrecoverable errors were found in the MIBs when they were loaded. You can run zenmib with a "-v10" parameter and it will log the actual smidump commands it is running to parse the MIB files. If you take the same command and run it outside of zenmib without the "2>/dev/null" part at the end you'll be able to see what these errors are. You can then correct the MIB files and run zenmib again.
