KBI 311355 Issue Addressed: SNMP Rule That Enumerates OID Might Not Break When Data Is Not Available
Version
Argent Advanced Technology 3.1A-1601-C and earlier
Date
Monday, 14 March 2016
Summary
SNMP Rule can be configured to break when data is not available
However, if the Rule enumerates SNMP OID, and it is enumerated OID that is unavailable, the Rule won’t break
When testing such a Rule against a device that does not have the enumerated OID, the testing result simply reports ‘Failed to enumerate OID …’ and Rule is not broken
The issue has been addressed in Argent AT 3.1A-1601-T5
Technical Background
It is caused by coding error
The Engine reports Rule is broken only if the OID specified in the Sub-Rule level is not available
Resolution
Upgrade to Argent AT 3.1A-1601-T5 or later
