Snmp-scan.py failing on distributed poller: decoder.py

Here is the error I’m getting when running snmp-scan.py:

What are you typing in when you run snmp-scan.py?

Kevin, thanks for reaching out. I have tried:
./snmp-scan.py
./snmp-scan.py -r 172.20.0.0/16
./snmp-scan.py -v

I THINK the error actually is mis-leading. I think this is actually a redis error, just found this in the /opt/librenms/logs/librenms.log:

As a test I did a second install on a different server, same result. HOWEVER, I did get a little more information firing off some of the other tasks:

/opt/librenms/discovery-wrapper.py 1
ERROR: Could not execute command [[’/usr/bin/env’, ‘php’, ‘/opt/librenms/config_to_json.php’]]: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)
