SNMP Trap string decoding

Troubleshooting
1

Hi everyone,

I am receiving snmp traps from a third party software. The manufacturer of the software provides a MIB for trap translation. If I don’t use the MIB, the messages are in readable form, just the OIDs are, obviously, not translated. As soon as I use the MIB provided, the OIDs are translated, but the values in the message remain in hex encoding and are not translated, like this

I’m not an expert on MIBs, but since the decoding does work when the manufacturer’s MIB is not loaded (only the standard MIBs), could this be a problem with the provided MIB?

CMK version: 2.0.0p19 (CEE)

I recently came across this topic with another customer.
This might give you some insights.
