Chapter 5 Configuring Hosts and vCenter Server SNMPv2 Diagnostic Counters The SNMPv2-MIB.mib file provides a number of counters to aid in debugging SNMP problems. Table 5-14 lists some of these diagnostic counters. Table 5-14. Diagnostic Counters from SNMPv2-MIB Variable ID Mapping snmpInPkts snmp 1 snmpInBadVersions snmp 3 snmpInBadCommunityNames snmp 4 snmpInBadCommunityUses snmp 5 snmpInASNParseErrs snmpEnableAuthenTraps snmp 6 snmp 30 snmpSilentDrops snmp 31 snmpProxyDrops snmp 32 Description The total number of messages delivered to the SNMP entity from the transport service. The total number of SNMP messages that were delivered to the SNMP entity and were for an unsupported SNMP version. The total number of community-based SNMP messages delivered to the SNMP entity that used an invalid SNMP community name. The total number of community-based SNMP messages delivered to the SNMP entity that represented an SNMP operation that was not allowed for the community named in the message. The total number of ASN.1 or BER errors encountered by the SNMP entity when decoding received SNMP messages. Indicates whether the SNMP entity is permitted to generate authenticationFailure traps. The value of this object overrides any configuration information. It therefore provides a means of disabling all authenticationFailure traps. The total number of Confirmed Class PDUs delivered to the SNMP entity that were silently dropped because the size of a reply containing an alternate Response Class PDU with an empty variable-bindings field was greater than either a local constraint or the maximum message size associated with the originator of the request. The total number of Confirmed Class PDUs delivered to the SNMP entity that were silently dropped because the transmission of the message to a proxy target failed in a manner other than a time-out such that no Response Class PDU could be returned. System Log Files In addition to lists of events and alarms, vSphere components generate assorted logs. These logs contain information about activities in your vSphere environment. View System Log Entries You can view system logs generated by vSphere components. The following task describes how to access and view system logs. Procedure 1 From the Home page of a vSphere Client connected to either a vCenter Server system or an ESX/ESXi host, click System Logs. 2 From the drop-down menu, select the log and entry you want to view.
