Issue/Introduction:

When trying to save changes for snmpcollector in Admin Console, the error PPM-025 shows itself consistently.

Cause:

Residual or corrupt template files cause error accessing snmpcollector Template Editor

Environment:

Release: CNMSPP99000-8.2-Unified Infrastructure Mgmt-Server Pack-- On Prem
Component:

Resolution:

  1. FOR SNMPCOLLECTOR 2.X, THE FOLLOWING WILL NEED TO BE PERFORMED
  • Deactivate snmpcollector probe and pollagent probe on snmpcollector hub in Infrastructure Manager
  • Delete the snmpcollector and pollagent probes.
  • RDP to the snmpcollector hub robot.
  • Delete the snmpcollector and pollagent probe folders (this removes old templates)
  • Restart the robot
  • Install the snmpcollector and pollagent probes as new.

 

  1. FOR SNMPCOLLECTOR 3.X, THE FOLLOWING WILL NEED TO BE PERFORMED
  • Deactivate ppm/snmpcollector and baseline_engine on the snmpcollector hub.
  • Rename the entire snmpcollector folder to snmpcollector_bkp, so that we have backup copies of the config files and templates. 
  • Delete ppm folder.
  • Rename the baseline_engine cache_dir to cache_dir_old. This clears the cache on baseline_engine. 
  • Deleted ppm and snmpcollector probes from IM.
  • Redeploy ppm/snmpcollector.
  • Activated baseline_engine, so that the cache_dir gets recreated.
  • In the newly created snmpcollector folder structure, highlighted the following files/folders and Copy/Paste these to get a backup of these in case issues arose with corruption in the files: 

snmpcollector.cfg 
bulk_config 

 

  • Replace snmpcollector,cfg and bulk_config with the backups in the new folder structure. 
  • Deactivate/activate snmpcollector for the files to take effect.
  • Sign out and back into Admin Console.
  • It may also be necessary to clear the browser cache for the issue to be corrected.
