[mrtg] Re: polling using SNMP V2c problem

[Dave Sanders]

Simon, I am getting the same message with my MRTG config as well.
WARNING: Expected a number but got '#<unprintable BER
 type 0x81>  I am running MRTG on a win/2000 box. Are there any updates
that I could run to fix this problem? I guess I didn't understand what I
needed to do with the SNMP_Session.pm/BER.pm on windows.



thanks,

I think I have fixed this problem in SNMP_Session.pm/BER.pm 0.87 and
later.  SNMPv2 has different error handling than SNMPv1, and the code
didn't handle that well.

So if you are seeing this message, try the latest
SNMP_Session.pm/BER.pm from

  http://www.switch.ch/misc/leinen/snmp/perl

with MRTG, and please provide some feedback on how it works for you,
so that I can ask Tobi to ship this with future MRTG releases (or
not).
