total noob here…i know it sucks answering lame questions…heheh
using the dude 4…mikrotik rb411s
mostly everything work in the dude except
when i hol the mouse over an object, which is our rb411
the popup comes up and says invaild oid on system name…description…uptime…contact …location
not sure why or even how to fix it at all…i tried searching but im lost
any help would be greatly appreciated…thanks
First can you run “SNMPwalk” on the device and get a bunch of results? If not you need to fix SNMP.
yes i get all kinds of info…not sure what it all means tho
In order for the “tooltip” data to be filled in correctly SNMP must be able to read the SNMP OIDs on the device in question. One of the settings is to put the same community name on the device and in the dude. Since you say you can SNMP walk a device you must have setup the community. Since the tooltip says invalid oid SNMP is still not exactly correct. The user manual gives a lot more information about SNMP.
i have looked but im still at a loss…heh..
The only thing I can think is your RB needs a reboot, but at least verify that the SNMP community is the same on RB and in the Dude. I don’t have a RB to show a screen shot from but in the dude the SNMP community is configured in the global settings button on the top left under the SNMP tab. Then on the settings for the device you pick the SNMP community that is equal to what you configured on the RB.


So add the same SNMP community to both the dude and the RB (which you probably already have) and if you get the same result the OIDs that the dude is asking for don’t exist. Or the device is not responding for those OIDs.
thanks for the screenshots…very helpful
here is what is on my rb…do i need an ip address in there?

dont know if you need all of these

Well SNMP seems like it should be working… What is the probe “checketh_1”? If it is reading a OID then snmp is definitely working.
Try this, right click the device, select appearance, click the drop down arrow on the right of label. It should look like below…
[Device.Name]
[device_performance()][Device.ServicesDown]
Add the following so it looks like this…
[Device.Name]
[device_performance()] [Device.ServicesDown]
[TimeAndDate] [Device.FirstAddress]
[snmp_name()] [snmp_uptime()] [snmp_contact()]
See the snmp stuff, you should see all those fields populate on the device label. If it does the items on the tooltip just don’t exist for this device. If it doesn’t the device is not working and needs to be troubleshot. I bet the tooltip is wrong, here is my tooltip and the server configuration of said tooltip.


There are a few things I have added here that are not default… [ups_runtime()] [ups_load_func()] [upsnum()] Serialnumber: [oid(“1.3.6.1.4.1.9.3.6.3.0”)] everything else is the default setting for the device tooltip.
