SNMP service stop repeatedly on ESXi 6.7

Hi,

I'm using ESXi 6.7. Now I'm having the problem that the snmp service is automatically stop, repeatedly. After the service stops, I can manually restart it and everything seems okay for only 2-3 days.

Here is some log of the /var/log/syslog.log file:

2018-10-17T14:13:44Z Unknown: out of memory [2296311]

I found that there is a same issue on ESXi 6.5 here Re: SNMPd stops on ESXi 6.5 and the issue has been resolved in its next patch. So I'm wondering why this problem come back again in ESXi 6.7 and is there any solution to resolve it now?

Thanks

This is applicable for ESXi 6.7 - VMware Knowledge Base. Currently, the only workaround is to manually restart the SNMP service as and when it stops. As per the known issues in the recently released ESXi 6.7 U1, looks like this is still an ongoing issue and might be fixed in the upcoming releases - VMware ESXi 6.7 Update 1 Release Notes

Cheers,
