Onderwerp: [mrtg] How does one debug SNMP errors?



On average of about twice a day, I get  errors like this:

    SNMP Error:
    Error decoding response PDU:
      Expected sequence tag 48, got 43
        %{%i%s%*{%i%i%i%{%@
          ^
    SNMPv1_Session (remote host: "hostname" [www.xxx.yyy.zzz].161
                      community: "********"
                     request ID: 1251986574
                    PDU bufsize: 8000 bytes
                        timeout: 2s
                        retries: 5
                        backoff: 1)

Where do I start debugging these?

    Is this a problem with the device being polled?

    With the network?

    With the computer doing the polling?

    With mrtg?

    With something mrtg is invoking?

    Should I just ignore these errors?

MRTG Rev 2.8.12 on a RedHat Linux 7.0 system if that matters at all.
