Custom MIB Textual Representation

Question

I am an snmp beginner and have created a custom MIB and included it in snmpd.conf via pass persist.
pass_persist .1.3.6.1.4.1.56947.1.1 /usr/bin/env python3 -u my_script.py

While I can successfully query the data, the returned data is a mix between the OIDs and the textual representation of OIDs.

Something like SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.56947.1.1.1

If I query, for example the UCD MIB (.1.3.6.1.4.1.2021) I get the full textual representation, like UCD-SNMP-MIB::memIndex.0 which corresponds to .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.4.1

As far as I know the UCD Mibs have been merged into net-snmp itself and may work differently than my own MIB.

My MIB (ommited some parts for brevity)

MY-MIB DEFINITIONS ::= BEGIN
IMPORTS
  MODULE-IDENTITY, enterprises, Integer32
  FROM SNMPv2-SMI

myMIB MODULE-IDENTITY
 -- identify stuff
 ::= { enterprises 56947 }

product1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { myMIB 1 }
product1Data OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { product1 1 }
objectCount OBJECT-TYPE
  SYNTAX      Integer32
  MAX-ACCESS  read-only
  STATUS      current
  DESCRIPTION "test"
  ::= { product1Data 1 }

END

But is this behavior by design or am I missing something?

My excpectation/wish would be to receive something like MY-MIB::objectCount

Answer 1

I mixed up agent and manager and thought the tools like snmpwalk and snmptranslate use the config /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf (note the d at the end) but they use /etc/snmp/snmp.conf.
I added line
mibs +MY-MIB
in /etc/snmp/snmp.conf (on the manager machine) and it worked.

Also add your mib file to your manager/client (I added mine to /usr/share/snmp/mibs)
