Hey Everyone,
This one is perplexing!
After a few days my IBM blade center AMM SNMP will lockout after an intermittent amount of time usually 48 to 72 hours or even as long as a week. What happens is the SNMP will lockout and an SNMP walk of the device shows the port closed like a firewall has closed it. It looks like an IBM device issue however before I started using Librenms which i might add is quite Awesome, I was using Cacti to monitor. This did not happen with Cacti, so i can only guess it might be with the way Librenms is polling this device and IBM doesn’t like to play after a while being poked so hard.
The AMM SNMP settings are really straight forward, not complicated. There are no thresholds for SNMP queries. You have SNMP v1 and v3. No configurable firewall settings to speak of, and a reset of the setting like disable and re enable SNMP makes it work again. Using either SNMP version has the same result.
I suspect it is a timeout issue or threshold being exceeded, i just don’t know, the IBM device logs are not geared to log that kind of information. Librenms logs only indicate unable to communicate.
Anyone else have this issue or have seen this?
