Re: Unknown Object Identifier - HOST MIBS

Thank you for the suggestion.  I tried 
        snmpget -Dparse-mibs -v 1 -c public localhost hrSystemDate

and it found all of the MIBS, including HOST-RESOURCES-MIB.txt  (Module 
25) and HOST-RESOURCES-TYPES.txt (Module 26) under 
/usr/local/share/snmp/mibs.  I also noticed that it imports a lot of the 
other MIBS (IP-MIB, SNMPv2-SMI, mib-2, IF-MIB), but not Module 25 
HOST-RESOURCES-MIBS.  For some reason, it does not load 
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB.  Therefore, it gave me the same error 
        Unknown Object Identifier (sub-id not found:(top) -> hrSystemDate)

The next thing I tried was 
        snmpget -Dparse-mibs -v 1 -c public localhost 
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSystemDate

I observed Processing IMPORTS for module 25 HOST-RESOURCES-MIB
                Processing import: mib-2
                Processing import: DisplayString
                ........................
                Processing import: InterfaceIndexOrZero

Then the error
        Error in packet
        Reason: (nosuchname) There is no such variable in this MIB.
        Failed Object: HOST-RESOURCE-MIB::hrSystemDate

Is it possible that the header in my HOST-RESOURCES-MIB.txt is incorrect? 
It was installed directly from net-snmp-5.0.10.1.tar.gz.  I verified 
several times the field hrSystemDate is in the HOST-RESOURCES-MIB.txt

That sounds suspiciously as if the HOST-RESOURCES-MIB file
isn't installed on your system.

Have a look in the various MIB directories - is there a
file "HOST-RESOURCES-MIB.txt" anywhere?

It might also be worth running the command as

    snmpget -Dparse-mibs -v 1 -c public localhost hrSystemDate

which should reveal exactly where it's looking.
(Just in case the HostRes MIB file is in the "wrong" place).
