snmpd keeps crashing

The snmpd service keeps crashing and this time I got an error in syslog.

KERNEL : [156341.707801] snmpd[2967]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f4e56bf3783 sp 00007fff8497ab70 error 4 in libnetsnmpmibs.so.30.0.2[7f4e56b8f000+15e000]

Are you polling the device? If so, able you able to tie the crashes to specific events/polls? Which version of VyOS are you running? Is this a new install, or an existing where SNMP was not crashing initially? Any other log events at all around the same time?

I am polling with observium every 5 mins. The version is 1.1.6. Yes this is a new install starting happening after I made it prod. The router does no nat/firewall, ospf just 1 static route and bgp. I can start the snmpd service and then as soon as observium polls it it will crash.

Have you tried to remove polls one by one to see if you can find any relation?

It is still a little soon but I disabled “ucd-mib” and I was able to poll 2x manual and will give it 15-20 mins to see if the auto poll crashes it.

It crashed again over night wit the same error as above. This time there was also error about

SNMPD : ioctl 35123 returned -1

Which OIDs are being polled? Is this a physical or virtual environment?

I will have to run a debug poll tonight. This is hosting in vmware with e1000 nics on vmware 5.5.

I know that this doesn’t help too much, but: happens to me as well. It started a few days ago, whereas the other router with the exact same VyOS version and hardware doesn’t have any problems. SNMP crashes suddenly with snmpd[3989]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f9b98eb1783 sp 00007fffbaa7c930 error 4 in libnetsnmpmibs.so.30.0.2[7f9b98e4d000+15e000]

Polling of the router didn’t change, it’s the same as before and on the other router. Did anyone find a solution for this crashing symptom?

No I did not find a fixed. I just wrote a script that checks to see if snmpd is running if not restart it. Then made a cron job to run the script every 5 mins.
