| Description |
|
The first two issues receive the same error in the logs but have a different cause whilst the third issue does not generate any information in the log file. Resolution of these issue will aide troubleshooting of problem with starting Enterprise mongod with SNMP enabled. Issue 1 - Start MongoD Enterprise without /etc/snmp/mongod.conf Check for files -
Start mongod with snmp -
mongod does not start and "master err:1" error appears in the log file -
Issue 2 Check for files -
Start netcat on udp port 1161 -
Start mongod with snmp -
and we are able to generate the same error as in the previous issue, however, the cause is different as the socket is not free -
Issue 3 On this occasion no MIB file is present, however, no warning/notification is generated. This is not ideal for troubleshooting - Check for files -
Start mongod with SNMP -
The log file shows that the service starts cleanly but there is no warning about a missing MIB file -

The main issue regarding cases 1 and 2 is that they are different issues but have the same error, the error message should differentiate between the two issues and also be more informational. Agreed that the MIB is used by the client to retrieve information and so not needed by mongod. Please disregard, not sure what I was on about. |

MIB files are not used by the server at all. |
