Contact BEA Support. Error: Exception occurred sending SNMP message, error.
Description
A runtime error occurred during the sending of an SNMP message over TCP/IP, possibly due to a networking or configuration error. Cause
This is an internal error that occurred during the sending of an SNMP message using the TCP transport provider. Action
Contact BEA Support. Error: SNMP Agent does not support setting values for MBean attributes through SNMP.
Description
The SNMP Agent provides a read-only view of the MBeanServer, it is not possible to make configuration changes using SNMP. Cause
User attempted to set an MBean attribute using SNMP. Action
Use JMX APIs to update WLS configuration MBeans. Error: There was an error adding a row to the SNMP table for MBean objName of type type.
Description
The SNMP table row corresponding to the given MBean instance could not be added. Cause
It could be due to a row already existing in the SNMP Agent for the MBean or an error condition in the SNMP Agent. Action
Take appropriate action based on additional information in the error stack trace. Error: There was an error deleting the row from the SNMP table for MBean objName.
Description
The SNMP table row corresponding to the given MBean instance could not be deleted. Cause
The specified MBean instance was not registered in SNMP or it could be due to an error condition in the SNMP Agent. Action
Take appropriate action based on additional information in the error stack trace. Error: An SNMP message was received over the default channel instead of the dedicated SNMP channel.
Description
When a dedicated Network Access Point has been configured for the SNMP protocol, SNMP packets will only be accepted and processed over the dedicated channel(s) (in addition to the SNMP Agent's configured UDP port). Cause
This occurs when a dedicated Network Access Point for SNMP traffic has been configured and activated and an SNMP request is received over the default server channel. Action
Direct the SNMP request to the configured channel. Error: The specified type name type is invalid.
Description
This error is thrown during validation for a SNMPJMXMonitorMBean or a SNMPAttributeChangeMBean configuration. Cause
The name specified is not recognized as a valid WebLogic Server MBean type. Action
Please specify the correct name for a WebLogic Server Configuration or Runtime MBean type. Error: The specified attribute name attr is not valid for the given type type.
Description
This error is thrown during validation for a SNMPJMXMonitorMBean or a SNMPAttributeChangeMBean configuration. Cause
The attribute name specified that is not valid is specified as part of the configuration. Action
Please specify the correct attribute name for the WebLogic Server Configuration or Runtime MBean type. Error: The SecurityName attribute is not specified for the SNMPTrapDestination name.
Description
When the SNMP Agents trap version is set to V3 the security name must be specified. Cause
The SNMP Agents trap version is set to V3 and the SecurityName is not specified for the given SNMPTrapDestination. Action
Please specify the SecurityName attribute on whose behalf the SNMP Agent will issue v3 traps. Error: The SNMP Agent's TrapVersion needs to be V2 or higher to be able to send INFORM notifications.
Description
The SNMP Agent sends INFORM notifications instead of traps only when the SNMPTrapVersion is V2 or higher. Cause
The SNMPAgentMBean's SNMPTrapVersion attribute is set to V1. Action
Please specify the SNMPTrapVersion to be V2 or higher in the configuration. Error: The SNMP Agent agentName is already deployed to server serverName.
Description
Only one SNMPAgentDeployment instance can be targetted to a given server. Cause
An attempt was made to target multiple SNMPAgentDeploymentMBeans to the same WebLogic Server instance. Action
Ensure that only one SNMPAgentDeploymentMBean is targetted to any Server in the domain. Error: The AuthenticationProtocol for SNMP Agent agentName cannot be noAuth when PrivacyProtocol priv is specified.
Description
It is invalid to have a privacy protocol without specifying an autentication protocol. Cause
An invalid combination of authentication and privacy protocols is being configured. Action
Specify either MD5 or DES as the AuthenticationProtocol in combination with Privacy. Error: The SNMPTrapDestinationMBean trapDest has a higher SecurityLevel trapSecLevel than the SNMPAgent's SecurityLevel agentSecLevel.
Description
The Security Level for all the SNMP users is implicitly defined by configuring the AuthenticationProtocol and the PrivacyProtocol attributes on the SNMPAgentMBean. The global security level for all the users should be a level equal to or greater than the security level specified by the SNMPTrapDestination target. So if the target specifies noAuthNoPriv, then any valid combination of AuthenticationProtocol and the PrivacyProtocol attributes on the SNMPAgentMBean is allowed. If the target is authNoPriv then the AuthenticationProtocol needs to be set to a value other than noAuth on the SNMPAgentMBean. And for a target of authPriv, both AuthenticationProtocol and the PrivacyProtocol must be specified on the SNMPAgentMBean. Cause
An invalid combination of authentication and privacy protocols on the SNMPAgentMBean and security level on the SNMPTrapDestinationMBean is being configured. Action
Specify the valid security level for the users and the trap destinations. Error: SNMPAgent agent is configured with a security level of agentLevel; the security level of proxySecLevel for proxy proxy must not exceed that of the SNMP agent.
Description
The security level on the proxy configuration must be less or equal to that of the parent SNMP agent itself. Thus, if the SNMP agent is configured with AUTH_NOPRIV, the security level of the proxy cannot be AUTH_PRIV. Cause
Configuring a security level on the SNMP proxy which exceeds security level of the SNMP agent corresponding to its configured authentication and privacy protocols. Action
Configure a lower security level on the proxy than the security level of the SNMP agent. For example, if the SNMP agent is configured with authentication but no privacy, configure security level of NOAUTH_NOPRIV or AUTH_NOPRIV on the proxy. Error: Failed to start the SNMP agent. If it failed to bind to the port, check if the port is available or the process has permission to bind to the port.
Description
The SNMP agent could not be started. Cause
A common problem is with binding to specified UDP and agentX ports. The ports to which the agent binds may not be available. Also, on UNIX platforms, ports upto 1023 are protected and can be bound only by processes owned by root. Action
Check if specified ports are available. On UNIX, the default UDP port (161) and master AgentX port (705) are protected to be used by processes owned by root. In that case, either start the server as root, or configure the SNMP agent to use port numbers higher than 1023. Error: Failed to initalize the SNMP AgentX master subagent. One possible cause is the failure to bind the Master agentX port. If this is the case, check to see if specified AgentX port is available, or ensure the process has permissions to bind to the desired port.
Description
The SNMP AgentX subagent could not be started. Cause
A common problem is with binding to the specified agentX port. The port to which the agent binds may not be available. Also, on UNIX platforms, ports upto 1023 are protected and can be bound only by processes owned by root. Action
Check if the specified port are available. On UNIX, the default master AgentX port (705) is protected to be used by processes owned by root. In that case, either start the server as root, or configure the SNMP agent to use port numbers higher than 1023.
