What does "klread: bad address" mean?

This means that the agent was unable to extract some of the necessary information from the kernel structures. This is possibly due to:

  • either looking in the wrong place for kernel information (check the value of KERNEL_LOC)
  • an error in the implementation of part of the MIB tree for that architecture.

Try and identify which OID is generating the error, and contact the list

  net-snmp-coders@lists.sourceforge.net

Remember to tell us what architecture you have!
