SNMPV3
-
Hi,
patch for src/snmp/libnxsnmp/transport.cpp attached.
We plan to make 2.0 release before December 10th.
Best regards,
Victor

We have a new problem with SNMP, maybe something similar as the points above.
We use NetXMS V2.0-RC2 compiled with patched transport.cpp (I attached the patched one).
After Software Update on some ZyXEL Access-Points these devices stop responding to SNMPv3 (SHA1, AES) after a while. I also checked by snmpwalk on command line. I have to reboot the affected Access-Points, but after a short while the same. When I disable all SNMP on these nodes in NetXMS, SNMP on these APs are stable (checked by snmpwalk on command line).
Which information do you need for further troubleshooting?thanks

Hi,
how fast device stops responding to SNMP? If you disable SNMP in NetXMS and run snmpwalk or snmpget from command line in a loop, will it have the same effect?

Hi Victor
First I thought it's only by configuration polls. But some APs 'crash' quite fast, after a few minutes. But I also saw APs where it lasts longer. I can start about 50 snmpwalks from command line in short time without any problems (about 20 OIDs each). Only disabling configuration polls on these nodes is not enough. I have to disable SNMP completely for these nodes. If SNMP is completely disabled the SNMP service on these APs are stable permanent.
thanks

Try to disable routing table and topology polls.

I think you are still experiencing this issue https://www.netxms.org/forum/configuration/snmp-credentials/ I dont think the patch fixed this particular error where even though snmpv3 credentials now work the server is still sending out some requests with public as default .. I am seeing the same thing on my test switch snmpv3 and v2 works great now but I am still seeing snmp auth failures about 100 a day but on our switches there is a threshold that can be set I think the default is 10 failures in a minute before its stops responding which i increased untill this gets fixed ....

So it seems that topology or routing table polls cause SNMP agent hang in access points. Most likely it's a bug in SNMP agent. We can try to narrow it further by enabling one of the polls. Topology poll usually do more requests than routing table poll.

Hi Victor
I made these tests:
- reenabled routing table poll, waiting 20h -> SNMP agent on node still replying
- reenable topology polling, waiting about 20h -> SNMP agent dead
But what can we do? Is it a problem in NetXMS or in SNMP implementation on node? If it is the second I need good arguments for there support
edit:
A later test with disabled topology poll -> SNMP agent dead again
So the problem is not fixed to topology poll
thanks
Dani -
I will try it with a support case at the vendor of the APs.
Another problem on other SNMP enabled nodes:
Suddenly no SNMP data is possible to poll. But the SNMP agent on these nodes are fine (test by snmpwalk on command line).
When I restart netxmsd everything is fine again. It's also with SNMPv3. -
I found a hint about this problem in the local log file of the affected node. There is a system protection function which blocks the SNMP get requests from the NetXMS server because of requests with null community string (CVE-1999-0517). In the communication settings of this NetXMS node there are valid SNMPv3 credentials of course.
So maybe this problem has the same reason as the 'SNMP auth. failures'. -

Yes, you can compile from the hourly snapshot of GIT repo and test with that.
The fixes were mostly to snmp in relation to agent proxying and to snmp discovery, but maybe you will see some difference.If none of these help (so your issue is still present after testing these newest changes), we will know yours is a totally separate issue.
The develop branch is pretty stable at the moment (I run 2 medium sized installs ~150 nodes each on it atm.), but of course be advised that it is not released code and consider backups of db/server before deploying it

Thanks Tomas.
I tried to compile hourly snapshot from git repo. But I get this error:
make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/src/netxms-2.0-dev-2015-12-14/src/libstrophe' CC libstrophe_la-auth.lo In file included from ../../include/nms_common.h:78:0, from auth.c:19: ../../include/netxms-version.h:27:30: fatal error: netxms-build-tag.h: No such file or directory #include <netxms-build-tag.h> ^ compilation terminated. make[3]: *** [libstrophe_la-auth.lo] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/netxms-2.0-dev-2015-12-14/src/libstrophe' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/netxms-2.0-dev-2015-12-14/src' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/netxms-2.0-dev-2015-12-14' make: *** [all] Error 2autoconf, flex, bison, libtool are installed.
What can I do? -
Script, which generate this header require git repo, not a snapshot. It's a bug.
However, if you clone repo instead of using snapshot – it will work.
Repository url for clone is https://git.netxms.org/public/netxms.gitP.S. don't forget to switch branch to "develop" (git checkout develop)
-
I've fixed that, now snapshots should work as well
