Description Philip Prindeville 2014-02-27 01:54:21 UTC
Description of problem:

/var/log/messages is filling up with ASN.1 (BER) primitive types, ostensibly as a result of parsing SNMP responses from a SmartUPS.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

apcupsd-3.14.10-13.fc20.x86_64

How reproducible:

Configure to use "UPSTYPE snmp" in /etc/apcupsd.conf and start service. Also "DEVICE apc:161:APC:private".

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Put host on network with SmartUPS with network card.
2. Configure to use SNMP as above.
3. Start service and inspect /var/log/messages after 12 minutes...

Actual results:

Feb 26 12:03:24 localhost apcupsd: OBJECTID
...
Feb 26 12:03:24 localhost apcupsd: SEQUENCE
Feb 26 12:03:25 localhost apcupsd: OBJECTID
...
Feb 26 12:03:25 localhost apcupsd: SEQUENCE
Feb 26 12:03:25 localhost apcupsd: OBJECTID
Feb 26 12:07:25 localhost apcupsd: INTEGER
Feb 26 12:07:25 localhost apcupsd: SEQUENCE
...
Feb 26 12:07:25 localhost apcupsd: OBJECTID
Feb 26 12:07:25 localhost apcupsd: INTEGER
...


Expected results:

No debugging output.

Additional info:

After some cursory reading, the culprit seems to be the function debug() in src/drivers/snmplite/asn.cpp which writes to stdout unconditionally.
