Please enter a valid OID value when setting up custom SNMP

Votes:

0

We have some custom SNMP flags which work from snmpwalk:

snmpwalk -v 2c -O n -c snmp-pub localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.1.3.2.3.1.4.16.100.97.105.108.121.45.113.117.111.116.101.115.45.114.97.110
.1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.1.3.2.3.1.4.16.100.97.105.108.121.45.113.117.111.116.101.115.45.114.97.110 = INTEGER: 1

However when trying to enter in this OID to PRTG it brings up the error:

Please enter a valid OID value (e.g. 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0)

Hi,
please try providing the OID without the leading .. Then you should be able to use the same.
Best regards

Hi, There is some problem with valid OID "0.1.3.6.1.4.1.21287.16.1.0" in PRTG. I tested trial version PRTG 12 in last month and all worked OK, but in next version PRTG 13 of its OID is not valid.

The leading "0" seems off. Please try with "1.3.6.1.4.1.21287.16.1.0". If that doesn't work, please check the OID using our SNMP Tester. Does that yield a result?

Hi, I have to read SNMP parameters of thermometer (http://www.mikrovlny.cz/cz/produkt/64) and there are producer's MIB Information, SNMP v.1: GET Temperature on Input1 - 0.1.3.6.1.4.1.21287.16.1.0 GET Temperature on Input2 - 0.1.3.6.1.4.1.21287.16.2.0

I tried SNMP Tester and result is clear: - When OID is "0.1.3.6.1.4.1.21287.16.1.0" test value is 22.5 (Device1 Tepmperature):

----------------------- New Test -----------------------
Paessler SNMP Tester 3.2

23.1.2013 8:18:46 (1 ms) : Start using SNMP V1

23.1.2013 8:18:46 (35 ms) : Value: 22.5
23.1.2013 8:18:46 (35 ms) : Done

and - When OID is "1.3.6.1.4.1.21287.16.1.0" or ".1.3.6.1.4.1.21287.16.1.0" test value FAILED:

----------------------- New Test -----------------------

23.1.2013 8:18:56 (24 ms) : Value: No Such Name (SNMP error # 2)
23.1.2013 8:18:56 (25 ms) : Done

Help me please. What can I do?

In the moment it is not possible to enter such OIDs (that do not start with 1.3.6.1) in PRTG, we will improve this in the next Canary Buids, but it will take some weeks until this gets into the Stable branch. Please bear with us.
