Strap Sender component documentation

Post by DanZ »

Were can I find a document that describes the Strap sender behavior. (example; Does the trap sender pay attention to the Alert setting for both Host and Services other then down time?)

I can try and explain what the component does.

Right now the component detects event state change. There are also filters in the event handling for both services and hosts that check if the plugin should handle Hard or Soft state changes, Just hosts, services or BOTH and finally if it's sending in downtime or not.

A good resource to see what the component is actually doing is to tail the eventman.log which will show the component running:

Code: Select all

tail -f /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/eventman.log
Try creating some critical or state changes from the advanced tab of a host or service. Then it will print out the information for processing and the notification status.
