Librenms traphandler error

Help

Hi,

I have been investigating receiving traps in librenms, so far traps from my ups seem to be working correctly. However, I have added a Juniper router and now I am seeing a few errors in the librenms log

it really looks like the IP.php is not able to parse the Hex-STRING correctly… it’s grabbing more from oid than it’s supposed to…

Unknown bgp peer handling bgpBackwardTransition trap
and
production.ERROR: Could not parse into IP: 920010504003900000000000000000084 {“exception”:" object] (LibreNMS\Exceptions\InvalidIpException(code: 0): Could not parse into IP: 920010504003900000000000000000084 at /opt/librenms/LibreNMS/Util/IP.php:70)

in my snmptrapd log I see the following as well:

any help would be appreciated.

thanks.

What options are you running with snmptrapd? I think I fixed this by adding -Ob to the startup for snmptrapd.

3

right now I am using the default “-Lsd”

4

You might try adding -Ob, it changes the formatting when parsing the mib. It switches the indexes only display numerically, which I believe fixes the problem. I’m going off memory, so I could be wrong.

5

Looks like -Ob fixed the IP.php issue

the librenms.log does keep showing an occasional message though:

production.ERROR: Unknown bgp peer handling bgpBackwardTransition trap:

6

Not sure what that’s about, I’m not seeing that in my environment.

7

I’ll investigate further, I marked the -Ob as the solution since that resolved the trap not getting processed correctly.

thanks again!

I found the issue after reading the trap handler source code:

seems like I had a conflicting MIB loaded and it wasn’t matching this line in the trap handler:
$state_oid = $trap->findOid(‘BGP4-MIB::bgpPeerState’);

I removed the offending MIB file and now the trap is being translated with the correct MIB
