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: 11016

  • Severity: Warning

  • Component: Send SNMP Trap action

  • Windows Event Log source: AdisconWinSyslog

  • Available 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#

  1. Open the affected Send SNMP Trap action and locate the numbered variable from the event.

  2. Replace the OID with a valid numeric OID or a resolvable symbolic OID.

  3. Reload the configuration and send a controlled trap.

Detailed procedures#

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.
