SNMP Modular Input: Why am I getting error "cannot locate module ./saatrap.mib'" trying to convert an MIB file to Python?

ramighebral — Wed, 08 Jun 2016 06:41:54 GMT

Hi,

I am having trouble converting a MIB file to Oython as required by the SNMP Modular Input add-on, all mib dependencies have been downloaded and placed under the directory defined in $HOME/.smirc.
The error is the below:

smidump -f python -k ./saatrap.mib
./saatrap.mib:1: syntax error, unexpected identifier, expecting moduleKeyword or submoduleKeyword
smidump: cannot locate module ./saatrap.mib'

Anybody have an idea what's going on here?

MIB file can be found here:
http://pastebin.com/download/Pj0CVCWN

Thanks,
Rami

The Mib file in your link appears to have errors ie: the name of mib (saatrap) in line 1 should not be lowercase.

So I changed that , and voila , progress. Note : you can also use the program "smilint" to check your Mib files.

Thanks for your input Damien, the conversion works now, but after copying the mib to snmp_ta/bin/mibs/ I am still getting the below error:
Exception resolving MIB name in the caught trap NoSuchObjectError({'str': 'No MIB registered that defines 1.3.6.1.4.1.18494.2.1.9 object, closest known parent is 1.3.6.1.4.1 (SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises)'})

Noting that by browsing the MIB file you could find the referenced object in it.

1) Show me your inputs.conf stanza
2) Show me the exact name of the generated python module you placed in the mibs dir
