Have you looked at https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ptrap.html ? If so, where are you getting hung up?

What do you mean no success? Do you see traps in the logs? If so, please post them and any other errors you see. Otherwise we have very little information to go on.

/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log is one log that could shed some light.

Also

Code: Select all

/var/log/snmptt/
/var/spool/snmptt
Please post your snmptt.ini and snmptt.conf (probably in /etc/snmp/)

What version of Core are you using? Was it compiled from source or installed from distro repos? On what OS/version is nagios running? cat /etc/*-release may be of use.

I can only find reference to the error message you are getting from 2005 and 2006, so just for a sanity check, I am going to re-ask a couple of questions. What version of Core are you using? Was it compiled from source or installed from distro repos? On what OS/version is nagios running? cat /etc/*-release may be of use.

It's possible the device is just old, but I just want to be sure.

I'm seeing errors associated with DataBS2. It looks like a lot of things are working. Are any of your SNMP traps working? Is SNMP in general working?

Centos 6.8 and Nagios Core 4.2.0 compiled form source.

Device is not too old.

I can poll anything with snmp from any device in my network. But when i try to set snmp traps i cant. I use the scripts i posted before and my snmp conf is that i attached to you but when i send a test trap nothing appears at nagios web interface.
