This is because of supplied snprintf() is used instead of sprintf() as it does limit checks for string length. or because of Void debugmsg_hex(const char *token, const u_char * thedata, size_t len) which can accept no longer than LOGLENGTH==1024. Resolve: verify snmp_logging.c and remove checks.
CODE

what is complete error message. I need the printed code.

  • Hi Grijesh ,I am actually viewing this message in Event-Viewer,& its only showing "Could not format log-string".. – Gaurav Dec 13 '12 at 12:42
  • In `logging.c` there is a macro `LOGLENGTH` increase it size , recompile and run ..otherwise disable debug mode. – Grijesh Chauhan Dec 13 '12 at 12:50
  • Try with this option `snmptrab -Dmib_init -H ..` – Grijesh Chauhan Dec 13 '12 at 12:55

  • Here I used to ask my queries and got response too. `net-snmp-coders@lists.sourceforge.net, Niels Baggesen ` – Grijesh Chauhan Dec 15 '12 at 13:30
  • Hi Grijesh!! Would you please tell me about the location of {snmp_logging.c } .I searched a lot but didn't find it out .Thank you – Gaurav Dec 26 '12 at 11:02
  • @Gaurav Hi Gaurav, the file path is `/net-snmp-5.7.1/snmplib/snmp_logging.c` – Grijesh Chauhan Dec 27 '12 at 06:03
  • but I have download 5.6.1.1 version of net-snmp(binary file) .& it does not contain any snmplib folder – Gaurav Dec 27 '12 at 06:10
  • At the time of installation,I got only /usr folder. – Gaurav Dec 27 '12 at 06:12
  • Oh! really?...be sure that you have not made any mistake. are you in Linux or windows? – Grijesh Chauhan Dec 27 '12 at 06:13
  • yes ......Windows Server 2008 Machine.On Linux its working fine ,means I am getting the traps perfectly(on Linux I am using 5.5 version) – Gaurav Dec 27 '12 at 06:19
  • What I am thinking is, that you are talking about Source files,while I am using .exe(binary file) of 6.1.1 version of Net-Snmp for installation .What would I have to do now?? – Gaurav Dec 27 '12 at 06:24
  • And have you done the Net-Snmp Installation by compiling the source folder (not through Binary File) ? If Yes..then please give me some hint.Because I don't have any idea – Gaurav Dec 27 '12 at 06:38
  • Yes I am commenting about source files. You can download source file and compile them manually. I think.,Specially If you want to develop over net-snmp. – Grijesh Chauhan Dec 27 '12 at 06:38
  • Yes I compiled first then installed myself explicitly. There is a README file. steps are clearly written in which. first run `./configure` then `make`. – Grijesh Chauhan Dec 27 '12 at 06:39
  • Get instructions from [**web-page**](http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/docs/INSTALL.html) also. – Grijesh Chauhan Dec 27 '12 at 06:42
  • Ok then ..THANK YOU,Once Again – Gaurav Dec 27 '12 at 06:53
  • Yes off-course ...we have to remove. otherwise how would you update? – Grijesh Chauhan Dec 27 '12 at 07:11
