RHBA-2018:3848 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated libvirt-snmp packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.5 Extended Update Support.

Description

The libvirt-snmp packages allow users to control and monitor the libvirt virtualization management tool through Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

This update fixes the following bug:

• Previously, the libvirtMib subagent sent SNMP traps to the snmptrapd trap daemon with the wrong object identifiers (OIDs). As a consequence, libvirt-snmp did not display objects under their assigned OIDs. This update fixes the issue by attaching the assigned OID to the correct object. (BZ#1641997)

Users of libvirt-snmp are advised to upgrade to the updated packages.
