Don't Use Environ Variable MIBS=ALL

All,

The recommendation in the latest version of Cacti suggests that you utilize the MIBS=All System Environment variable. I had been having problems with this configuration for some time and found that this option causes problems with OID type resolution and also slows response time.

It will manefest itself by resolving sysDescr and ifIndex as Hex and not String. This will also cause problems with re-cache. Therefore, I am recommending that this envirnment variable be removed from systems utilizing is.

IMPORTANT NOTE: However, prior to implementing this change, download the latest pre-patches for 0.8.6b if you are running that version and implement those patches prior to removing the environment variable.

The pre-patched version can be found at:

http://www.cacti.net/downloads/patches/0.8.6b

We will update installation documentation as time permits. I appologize for this inconvenience.

Regards,

Larry Adams (TheWitness)

Please define the variable MIBDIRS in you system to point to the Mibs directory. In the original documentation, I had mistyped it as MIB"S"DIR, which is incorrect.

Is this warning still in place for 0.8.6c? Reason I ask is if I remove MIBS=ALL I get error messages that a few modules can not be found when executing cactid.

Right.

Brashquido · Posted: Sun Jan 30, 2005 11:52 pm Post subject:

Or maybe not, as it seems there are identically named MIBS in the PHP and NET-SNMP MIB repositories. They all have different file sizes as well, so should I just copy these two NET-SNMP MIBs mentioned above into my PHP MIB directory to try and aviod any conflicts?
