Package: snmpd Version: 5.7.2.1+dfsg-1 Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer, Fresh install Jessie's snmp's OIDs for hrSystemProcesses are reporting a lower number of processes, looks like only counting user processes and leaving out kernel ones. Tested on v.3 and v.4 kernels for jessie. myserver:~$snmpwalk -v 2c -c mycomunity 127.0.0.1 hrsystemprocesses HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSystemProcesses.0 = Gauge32: 66 myserver ~]# ps aux|wc -l 405 myserver ~]# ps aux|egrep -v '\[*\]'|wc -l 66 -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.3 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.3.0-0.bpo.1-amd64 (SMP w/32 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages snmpd depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.56 ii libc6 2.19-18+deb8u2 ii libsnmp-base 5.7.2.1+dfsg-1 ii libsnmp30 5.7.2.1+dfsg-1 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian13+nmu1 snmpd recommends no packages.
