Hi,
This Error is logged because the SNMP Service checks if the registry path mentioned in the Event Description is present and determines that it is not. This registry path is needed for the SNMP trap configuration and created once traps are set up.
This has been determined not to have any influence to the operation of SNMP or the system and should be ignored. The occurance of the Event can be avoided by creating the registry path in question before installing the SNMP Feature.

On my 64-bit Linux server, I am trying to install Net-SNMP 5.7.3. However, I am facing a challenge while handling getBulkRequest for an OID that has MIBs beneath it. My Linux server returns an error code and I am unable to figure out the cause of this error. Even though I can fetch the information for each MIB by using snmpget, I keep encountering the same error when I try to perform snmpbulkget.
Error in packet.
Reason: (genError) A general failure occured
Failed object: MY-ELEMENT-MIB::myModel.0
I suspect that the issue is with my Agent’s
SNMP configuration
file, but despite my efforts, I haven’t been able to fix it. Just to be sure, I am sharing all the steps I have taken so far. I hope that the simplified version of my code will be helpful for others and save them the trouble that I had to go through to reach this point.
To launch my Agent, I placed my snmp.conf in the /etc/snmp/ directory. I have configured it to utilize v2c and have made it accessible to the general public.

Upon initiating snmpd, the Agent, I proceed to launch a sub-Agent Daemon through my C++ program. The following example for the Daemon was utilized: http://www.net-snmp.org/tutorial/tutorial-5/toolkit/demon/example-demon.c
I have implemented the sub-Agent code in C++ which is called by the daemon’s init_myMibSubAgent() method instead of init_nstAgentSubagentObject().

MAX-ACCESS not-accessible
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"A list of trap target configuration entries on

Trap Target Configuration Entry Creation:
=========================================
When creating a trap target configuration entry
the manager should use a GET operation to
determine the value of myTtCfgTableNextIndex.0.
If this value is non-zero, the manager can then
use this value as the index while creating a
table row.
The process of creating and activating a row of
this table takes two forms: the one-set mode and
the multiple-set mode.
In the one-set mode, a manager must specify the
values of myTtCfgIpAddress and myTtCfgCommunity
required to activate a row in a single SET operation
along with an assignment of the myTtCfgEntryStatus
to 'createAndGo(4)'. If the values and instances
supplied are correct, an instance of the trap target
configuration is created and the value of
myTtCfgEntryStatus transitions to 'active(1)'.
for example:
============
SnmpGet()
returns
SnmpSet(,
,
)
returns
,
,
In the multiple-set mode, creating a trap target
configuration table row, filling it with values,
and activating it are carried out in discrete steps.
To create the row, the manager specifies a value
of 'createAndWait(5)' for the myTtCfgEntryStatus
status variable. This SET request could contain
values of myTtCfgIpAddress and myTtCfgCommunity
but it is not required. More often, the values for
these columnar objects are specified in additional
SET requests. After each SET operation, the
myTtCfgEntryStatus variable takes on the value
'notReady(3)' or 'notInService(2)'. To place the
entry into service, the manager requests that the
myTtCfgEntryStatus variable transition to the
'active(1)' state.
for example:
============
SnmpGet(, NULL)
returns
SnmpSet()
returns
SnmpSet(,
)
returns
,
SnmpSet()
returns
Trap Target Configuration Entry Deletion:
=========================================
To delete an existing trap target configuration
entry, the manager performs a SET operation on the
myTtCfgEntryStatus variable with the value
'destroy(6)'."

The Manager was the target of my use of the snmpbulkget command.

Error in packet.
Reason: (genError) A general failure occured
Failed object: MY-ELEMENT-MIB::myModel.0
Additional Notes:
- The results obtained are identical when using OID directly.
- By analyzing with Wireshark, I observed that my Linux system provides a reply to the getBulkRequest containing the information of all the MIBs located under the OID.
- By utilizing the -DALL switch in my snmpbulkget command, I was able to retrieve information on all the MIBs located under the OID. However, the presence of an Error Status = 5 indicates that I received a genError response.
