SNMPD instability on ESXi 6.7

Hello everyone,

Since I upgraded to vCenter server 6.7 and ESXi 6.7 I seem to have SNMPd instability issues. LibreNMS is polling my hypervisors for monitoring, and SNMPd crashes at least once a day on all ESXi hosts. Does anyone else see this behaviour and what can I do to stabilize them? I took the alerting off the monitoring because it is giving us at least 25 false positives a day now.

Hi brbsoup,

We have the same problem on our ESXi 6.7 hosts and had to disable our snmp monitoring.

Support response (received: 2018-06-12):

We are currently investigating what is causing this issue and hope to have a solution out for this issue later this year.
At this time there is no information available about what is causing the crashes and the investigation is ongoing.

Thanks for your reply! Yes, I got the same response from VMware support yesterday. Hope they will fix it soon, "this year" is a long time Smiley Wink

any updates on this?  we just moved several hosts and vcenter to 6.7 and snmp stops responding to solarwinds polls on all of them.
