Hi Spenser, The Monitoring wizzard is what suggested the cfgmaker command. http://imgur.com/PEMcHbS But I will avoid it going forward, thanks for the info. trying your command: [root@DXLVMMOM2 lg]# nmap -sU -p 161 10.194.96.254 Starting Nmap 5.51 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2013-09-20 12:04 CDT Note: Hos...

Hello, I tried monitoring a Cisco Router, the wizzard recommended the following command. Please see results below: [root@DXLVMMOM2 snmp]# cfgmaker --show-op-down --zero-speed=100000000 --snmp-options=:::::1 --noreve rsedns public@10.194.96.254 SNMP Error: no response received SNMPv1_Session (remote ...

Resolution: Spenser found that the directory /var/spool/snmptt was owned by root, group was root. This meant that the snmptt process could not delete files after they had been added to the database. So old traps were repeatedly being added to the database and it was increasing like wild. Spenser fix...

OK. I figured out how to run NSTI on the Nagios server --- accessing the remote server. I still have questions about "Filtering". Do filters only remove traps from the current view? Is there a way to "really" filter the traps before they get to the database? Or would this be outs...

It seems that install.py for NSTI is not really developed well for running on server other than the mySQL database server. Since it prompts for the host server name, it led me to believe that it should be run from the Nagios server. In particular, function dump_sql() in install.py does not use the h...

Not sure if this helps, but the python script executed for the EVENT in snmptt.conf is quite short and writes to /usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd. It seems there are 3 possible severity codes: 0 for Normal, Informational, 1 for Warning, Minor, and 2 for Critical, Severe. Not sure what Nagios does...

ok. thank you for your insights and for doing more digging. Do you know if it is possible to tell snmptt or nagios (or some other process) that these traps do not require "clearing"? Does it matter how the trap EVENTS are defined in snmptt.conf ??? Normal, Warning, or Critical? Do Normal e...

Hi Spenser, Can you please explain the clearing process? Or what is meant by " cleared" in "snmptt\snmpd definitely do look for these traps and will send them to nagios if they have not been cleared yet." ??? We have 3 other systems that are sending traps to Nagios. Most traps ar...

Latest theory is that Nagios creates some log file of traps. When the database is cleared, does Nagios attempt to rebuild the database from the log files?

I have been testing with traps and the snmptrap command in 2 environments: CENTOS - on the Amazon Cloud using the Nagios XI appliance RHEL - manual install of Nagios XI It seems that when I create traps in the CENTOS/cloud environment, somehow I get many more than expected. The file /var/log/snmpttu...
