Discovery : SNMP Classification - Active, couldnt classify

We have a client that wants to use SNMP Credentials for Discovering Windows Devices.

We have setup the credentials and tested with success.

Everything appears to be ok on the infrastructure side.

 

However when SNMP attempts to classify we get the following error.

 

Active, couldnt classify 

Does any aditional configuration need to be done as part of trying to acheive this ? if so is there any documentation anywhere to support such a requirement ?

still, I am just curious, where do you store SNMP Community string in the windows server??

 

TO sum up:

- 4 people told you that is not possible

- If you would be able to create classifier, you have to create new custom pattern for SNMP to discover Windows, which, imho, you iwll spend months to create it, if possible, because, just to get.f.e OS version, how do you want to reach it with SNMP? as there is in use gwmi win32_operatingsystem... 

 

SNMP on Windows is not the way...

this is a screenshot of a log entry when trying to discover a server using snmp

Hi,

 

Could you please check the input payload and verify if the OID listed in the XML has an entry in the SNMP OID Classification table? Also, could you let me know what type of device you are trying to discover?

I am trying to discover windows servers using SNMP.

 

I have created a new SNMP System OID

OID : 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.2

Operator : is

Table: Windows Server

Classifier : Windows Server (custom made)

 

SNMP Classifier Details

 

Name : Windows Server

Table Windows Server

Trigger Probes : SNMP Identity (identification phase)

what is the sense to discover windows server as SNMP? where do you store SNMP credentials in that server?

 

And to answer you another question, we would like to see this discovery log

Besides that you cannot have OID classifier "1.3.6.1.2.1.1.2", as this is reserved for "sysObjectID" and this OID is represented in all SNMP ecc_queues... basically all SNMP devices has the same OID ->
