Very new to setting up SNMP test. In fact this is my first time but got an issue with the following.

I'm trying to set up some SNMP testing with our Red Box Recording system. They've provided a MIB file which I've used the Paessler MIB file converter to create a oldlib file. That file has been put in the correct snmplib folder. Now when I went to create a new sensor and select new SNMP Library I got the error code PE049

Not sure where I'm going wrong here. The target system does respond well to a 'Read Device Uptime' test (below)

Any help is appreciated.

Hello there,

That's the problem, the device does not deliver data on those OIDs:

Found OIDs:
No OIDs found

Based on the looks of it, this is more likely a trap mib, meaning it does not contain definitions for data that can be pulled, instead it contains definitions for SNMP Traps, those are like alarm messages the device sends when certain events occur.

You can make use of this using an SNMP Trap Receiver Sensor:

In order to use the MIB with the SNMP Trap Receiver Sensor, you do not need to convert it, you drop it into subfolder "MIB" instead inside PRTG's installation path. PRTG can use the MIB then to "translate" those received messages instead of showing "cryptic" OIDs.

Kind regards,

Erhard
