Re: dropping snmptraps

I found out its not a snmp problem. I shutdown snmptrapd and snmptt. The alerts were still coming in. I discovered that nsca is receiving the alerts too. I'm chasing that now.

Thanks for everyone's help. I hope to resolve this today.

Re: dropping snmptraps

I've had to modify my process. Originally I had every trap create its own service but with all the changes and new connections I ended with 100's of services. So I changed the config to put the traps in unknown objects. I would go through unknown object and add only the services I need. After a whil...

Re: dropping snmptraps

There are certain oids however I filter those by a name in the content. If oid matches check for name. I can't throw them all away. I just don't understand how they get past the filter.

Re: dropping snmptraps

I have several devices that generate a lot of traps. This device allows other teams to build connections. I have no control over the device , I only receive up and down traps. The device configures connections with names. I will not know names until the trap arrives. The teams need to receive a noti...

dropping snmptraps

I get a lot of snmp traps of a particular oid. I only need to process 5%. The way I understand trap processing is that snmptrapd listens to udp 162. It seems logical I can write a pre filter to replace the traphandler. The pre filter will pass on what I need and drop what I don't. That works, I can ...

upgrade to latest from old version 5.10

I'm on a very old version 5.10 because I was still restricted to centos 7. What is the correct upgrade path? I'm on oracle 9 now. Do I install the latest version and restore backup or should I do an incremental upgrade and work my way up to the latest version? I was told there may be php problems if...

Re: Custom logos for hosts

I have xi and hadn't copied it to the correct directory. It should be here /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/components/nagioscore/ui/images/logos/

Custom logos for hosts

I'm trying to add a custom png to the host. I created the logo exactly like the snmppenguin.png. I add it to the host config, misc settings in status image and icon image. It originally had the snmppenguin.png and it displays correctly. Most of the logos have a gd2,gif, and a png. snmppenguin.png on...

Re: Manage unconfigured objects with api

If anyone is interested...

I wrote a selenium script to access unconfigured objects page. I was able to collect the objects, and delete the ones that didn't match my filter.

Re: Manage unconfigured objects with api

Thank you for your response. My problem is I have a lot of unconfigured objects. I have so many because I have traps that come in with a service name that I don't define so I have to configure only some of the unconfigured objects. I thought I found a way to delete unconfigured objects using the api...
