Add device fails yet snmpwalk succeeds

Help

I have a new installation of LibreNMS and am having issues adding some devices and I am at a loss as to why.

Out of 20 HP 1920 switches I can only get about one-third to be added using the GUI or command-line. Invoking snmpwalk is successful and the devices can be added using PRTG.

Below shows output of cli and web commands.

root@librenms:/opt/librenms# snmpwalk -v2c -c public 192.168.5.110

Duplicate sysName?

Indeed, that was the case. All devices now added. Thanks for the suggestion.

I’ve created a pull request to make this clearer when adding devices which have duplicate sysName’s

Hi laf,

Can you share the pull request for duplicate sysName’s please?

Thanks
