There apparently is a problem with Net::SNMP->session->get_table() related to Suse/Opensuse, and 64bit machines. I tried this at home and everything worked fine across redhat based distro's. I found that I can use Net::SNMP-session-get_request() and it works fine. Since I do not have time to dig into this much more, I decided to just "hack" the current script. I believe that this is a bug that I am guessing will be fixed with future releases of net-snmp running on suse. Below is my temporary fix if anyone wants it: replace original get_table perl function with: ####### sub get_table { my $oid = shift; my $response; # HACK by Matt Nelson $response = $session->get_table($oid); if ( !defined($response) ){ my $hash = {}; my $interfaces = scalar(keys(%iface_descr)); for (my $i=1; $i <= $interfaces; $i++){ my $z = $session->get_request(-varbindlist => [$oid.'.'.$i]); while (my ($key, $val) = each (%$z)){ $hash->{$key} = $val; } $response = $hash; } } if ( !defined($response) ) { # END HACK by Matt Nelson my $answer = $session->error; printf "CRITICAL: Could not read table by SNMP: $answer\n"; exit STATUS_CRITICAL; } return %$response; } ####### <div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jan 19, 2009 at 6:16 PM, Matt Nelson <<a href="mailto:matt@frozenatom.com">matt@frozenatom.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Sorry for the slow response. I didn't change anything yet with the original pl code. I actually downloaded it again to a different machine, and it gives the same error: nagios02:/home/nagios/libexec # ./check_all_interfaces.pl -H databasenode -C public -v 1<div class="Ih2E3d"> CRITICAL: Could not read table by SNMP: Counter length too long (5 bytes) </div>nagios02:/home/nagios/libexec # ./check_all_interfaces.pl -H databasenode -C public -v 2<div class="Ih2E3d"> CRITICAL: Could not read table by SNMP: Counter length too long (5 bytes) </div>I wonder if it is something with version running on the remote host?? I'll keep digging into this, and idea's are more then welcome. I'll post any solutions I find.<div> <div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"> <div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Jan 17, 2009 at 12:47 AM, Andrea Gabellini <<a href="mailto:andrea.gabellini@telecomitalia.sm" target="_blank">andrea.gabellini@telecomitalia.sm</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Matt, the original code use snmp v2c as the default, and it works fine.
