SNMP Traps - Can't get description in email alert

[00_kl250]

Hey All,

I'm having issues with SNMP traps and alerting properly, particularity with the event description not being passed in the alert message. Traps are coming in fine to nagios and i'm getting the alert, but i'm getting an alert message in email and the nagios web interface that says:

***** Nagios *****

Notification Type: PROBLEM

Service: TRAP
Host: xxxx
Address: xxxxxx
State: WARNING

Date/Time: Thu Feb 28 09:20:25 CST 2019

Additional Info:

notAlarmedNonServiceAffecting Object:ne Index:1 Slot:0 Port:unknown AID:SYSTEM

However, when looking at the snmptt.log it shows the following:


Thu Feb 28 09:20:19 2019 logoutOfUser Normal "Status Events" [xxhostnamexx] - notAlarmedNonServiceAffecting Object:ne Index:1 Slot:0 Port:unknown AID:SYSTEM


Question:
1). How do i get it to pass the "logoutOfUser" instead of everything after the hostname? The not notAlarmedNonServiceAffecting part really isn't helpful to me.

I've been beating my head around the bush for the past couple of days to get to this point but need some help if anyone has ideas. Thank you in advance!

If you look in this file you probably have something similar to:

Code: Select all

EVENT logoutOfUser .1.3.6.1.4.1.18372... "Status Events" Normal
FORMAT ...
EXEC /usr/local/bin/snmptraphandling.py "$r" "SNMP Traps" "$s" "$@" "$-*" "... $*"
SDESC
...
Variables:
...
EDESC

logoutOfUser is likely the event name defined in /etc/snmptt.ini. The EXEC line determines what is sent to Nagios and I think adding $N(event name) will do the trick.

EXEC /usr/local/bin/snmptraphandling.py "$r" "SNMP Traps" "$s" "$@" "$-*" "$N: ... $*"
