NetXMS Support Forum

Hi,

I did not need to use the MIB Browser in a while as most our templates just chugging along nicely.
The other day I had a new device type to add and when I tried to use the MIB Browser the result was that every single OID in a full SNMP walk returned "Hex-STRING".
I then went and tried walking other devices which have working templates and SNMP DCIs applied to them: same result.

From what I read, Hex-STRING is what NetXMS shows when there are non-printable characters in the result.
Considering I used the MIB Browser extensively in the past to create templates and now none of the dozen devices I tested are returning anything but Hex-STRING - in the MIB Browser only. DCIs happily return correct data.

I would have last used the MIB Browser while running M2.1-M1, so I am guessing this to be related to 2.1-M2.
This happens in the console as well as the web interface.
Has anyone else seen the same issue?

Cheers,

Hi,

yes, that's a bug in 2.1-M2. Should be fixed in 2.1-M3.

Best regards,

Hi Victor,

Just installed 2.1-M3. While the MIB Browser no longer shows Hex-STRING in M3, it now shows INTEGER, COUNTER, etc., i.e. the type, but not but not the actual values.

It looks like there's a column (header) missing. It shows the OID, then the "human readable" version of the OID (which shows under the header "Type") followed by the actual type in the column "Value". The value itself is not in the list at all.
