WinSyslog Event ID 11016: An SNMP trap variable contains an invalid OID#
Answer#
The product could not parse or load the configured OID for one SNMP trap variable. That variable is removed from the action’s active variable list.
Event details#
Event ID:
11016Severity: Warning
Component: Send SNMP Trap action
Windows Event Log source:
AdisconWinSyslogAvailable since: 26.07
Message pattern: Please check your configuration, Error loading OID from var {variable_number}: {oid}, SNMP Error {snmp_error}
Possible causes#
The OID is malformed or incomplete.
The configured symbolic OID cannot be resolved by the available MIB data.
The variable was imported from an incompatible or damaged configuration.
Immediate checks#
Open the affected Send SNMP Trap action and locate the numbered variable from the event.
Replace the OID with a valid numeric OID or a resolvable symbolic OID.
Reload the configuration and send a controlled trap.
Detailed procedures#
Verify an SNMP trap sender and receiver path — Confirm transport, endpoint, SNMP version, security/community, OIDs, and receipt.
Collect an Event ID and neighboring product events — Preserve the complete event and the product events immediately before and after it.
Export configuration and collect a bounded debug log — Create a text configuration export and time-bounded debug capture, then disable debugging.
Verify the result#
Confirm that the controlled trap contains the expected variable and Event ID 11016 is not recorded during configuration loading.
Evidence to collect#
The complete Windows Application Event Log entry and neighboring product events from the same time window.
The exact product version, affected service or action name, and event timestamp with time zone.
The affected configuration object and a bounded debug log covering one controlled reproduction.
Remove passwords, tokens, license data, private keys, message payloads, personal data, and customer-identifying names, addresses, hostnames, domains, and network addresses before sharing evidence.
Escalation#
If the event continues after the detailed procedures, collect the listed evidence and contact Adiscon Support.
