How do I resolve “Ping group for ‘snmpv2’ connection is not a ‘snmpv2’ poll group. Group ID ‘2’” in DataMiner protocol?
Environment & Setup
-
DataMiner version 10.3.0.0 (build 12752)
-
Protocol uses two connections:
-
SNMPv2 (default,
connection="0"
) -
HTTP (advanced, named “HTTP Connection”)
-
The Error
When I validate or load the protocol, I get this Major error in the Validator panel:
Ping group for ‘snmpv2’ connection is not a ‘snmpv2’ poll group. Group ID ‘2’.
Hi Mahmud,
The first group for SNMP in general should be of type poll. This is clear and well described on following page: SNMP Connection
Summarization: If the main connection is of type SNMP there are two options for the ping group
1. the group with ID "-1" -> not recommened
2. Or from the first group defined in the protocol, DataMiner will use the first parameter in that group to make a ping group. This is the reason the first group defined in the protocol should be a "poll" group.
