From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041020 Epiphany/1.4.4 Description of problem: After some time (didn't restart yet to verify as it's a production station), the snmp uptime values start to be wrong, it seems like a counter reset. [root@d3vi1 ~]# snmpget -v 2c -c public localhost system.sysUpTime.0 SNMPv2-MIB::sysUpTime.0 = Timeticks: (25375329) 2 days, 22:29:13.29 [root@d3vi1 ~]# uptime 02:31:36 up 35 days, 12:18, 2 users, load average: 0.20, 0.34, 0.29 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): net-snmp-5.1.2-11 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Check the system uptime using the uptime command 2.Check the uptime reported by snmpd 3.Compare the values. If the uptime is over ~32 days it resets for net-snmp. Actual Results: The net-snmp reported values are wrong. Expected Results: The net-snmp uptime value should be the same (+- a few ticks) if you run the two commands one after another.
# snmpget -v 2c -c public bunny system.sysUpTime.0 system.sysUpTime.0 = Timeticks: (586752671) 67 days, 21:52:06.71 This seems like sth else is reseting your service. This value doesn't report the machine uptime but the deamon uptime.
