check_interfaces vs. Ubuntu 20.04 #13

Closed martindemharter closed 1 year ago

martindemharter commented 3 years ago

Hi,

we started, using Ubuntu 20.04. LTS. The check compiled for Ubuntu 18.04 does not work because of libsnmp-dev including libnet-snmp.so.30 is needed and avaliable in Ubuntu 18.04. For Ubuntu 20.04. they issued libnet-snmp.so.35 which is not compatible.

Make script works for Ubuntu20.04. as well, but the check always runs into a timeout, message is: Timeout while reading interface descriptions from localhost

is there any chance, this will be fixed soon?

BR

Martin

Timeout while reading interface descriptions from localhost usually comes when snmpd is not started. Try to check if snmpd is running.

If you have problems compiling, you can also use the Thola Check plugin. It is written in Go and therefore the binary is statically compiled and hardly needs any dependencies from the operating system.

This does not help in this case. I know, that the snmpd is working but it is working on Ubuntu20.04 on libnet-snmp.so.35. But the check_interfaces needs libnet-snmp.so.30. (.so.30 vs .so.35).

You should build a new check_interfaces on your Ubuntu20.04 as shown in the README. I got my check_interfaces running with libnet-snmp.so.40 on a Deb11.

If that program was linked against the "wrong" library it is not surprising to see, that it won't work. I am closing this, since this does not look like a problem to be fixed here for me.
