Hi I have a stats program that updates an OIDs using a perl do in snmpd.conf. The MIB definition of my OID is a Counter32. A Counter32 type represents a non-negative integer which monotonically increases until it reaches a maximum value of 2^32-1 (4294967295 decimal), when it wraps around and starts increasing again from zero. When my stats program reports the Counter32 at 4294967295, the OID does not get reset itself to 0. One workaround that I have is to restart the processes so that the counters start from 0. Is there a better way to fix this rather than restarting the processes? I've encountered this issue with NetSNMP version 5.4.3. Is this a known bug?
