Aria Operations SNMP monitoring query(ies)

Products

• VMware Aria Suite

Issue/Introduction

Use case: Querying a switch interface table via SNMP 

 

Environment

Aria Operations 8.18 and later

Cause

Data from a switch source will not be collected, if the datatypes are not in the list or if the mib file being used is still tagged as "Supported But Not Validated"

Note: supported but not validated mibs only support: Integer, Counter, Counter32, and Counter64. Errors such as the following are displayed for other data types:

ERROR [Task Processor worker thread 8] com.integrien.adapter3.snmp.SNMPMIBLookup.getMibTreeNode – mark() not supported

Resolution

The purpose of the SNMP MP is to collect metrics. The MP does not collect strings or other types not defined in Configuring SNMP

It collects data with the following datatypes:

• integer
• integer32
• counter
• counter32
• gauge
• gauge32
• timeticks
• counter64
